Lunch with these friends afterwards.
CONGRATULATIONS to Hawaii’s own Iam Tongi who capped an impressive run on American Idol by finishing first in the finale’s voting, filling people with immense pride in Hawaii and Polynesia alike.
So happy to see success for a young man whose talents are only exceeded by his heart and soul. Last night American Idol season 21 concluded with a historic winner: Latter-day Saint Iam Tongi became the youngest male ever to win the show.
Tongi, an 18-year-old high school student from Kahuku, Hawaii, won over the judges and audience from his very first audition. Since his audition was posted on YouTube three months ago, it has become the most viewed audition video of the season by a long shot, with more than 16 million video views. Tongi sang “Monsters” by James Blunt and dedicated the performance to his father, Rodney, who died a few months earlier.
