When “American Idol” contestant Iam Tongi returned home to Hawaii, he was embraced with open arms.
On the April 16 episode, the top 26 contestants of Season 21 performed at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. But it was the high school student’s rendition of Spawnbreezie’s “Don’t Let Go” that stole the show.
But the 18-year-old is also resonating with those outside of his homeland. Since the YouTube video of his performance was posted, it’s amassed 1.3 million views and counting. “The Sound of Silence,” there was not a dry eye in the crowd. The YouTube video has garnered over 2 million views since being shared on April 10.
