My father passed away a week ago in Mexico. Before he was buried, I adapted the song to a short poem in a Spanish version. I said this in front of everyone. I barely made it, and goes like this: " Hoy, hoy no soy tu hijo Hoy tu no eres mi padre, Hoy somos dos viejos amigos que se dicen adiós, No hay necesidad del perdón, No hay necesidad del olvido, Por que yo conozco tus errores, Y tu los míos, Y mientras duermes, Prometo hacerte orgulloso de mí, No hay nada que temer, Que hoy viviré la vida, tal y como es "

I was adopted at a young age by two people who had already raised their own children. (I was abandoned in the hospital by my biological parents). They were the best parents ever. People assumed they were my grandparents as I got older because they were both old enough to be, but I always knew them as mom and dad. They were foster parents for 18 years (adopting 3 children in total, all from different families) and helped more children than I could count. They were selfless and took great care of many kids, most of whom had medical issues due to physical/emotional/ substance abuse, but they didn't treat them any different than their own children. This video reminded me of my dad. They passed away almost 10 years ago, only 3 weeks apart, and I miss them every day.

Hundred percent correct. A son never forget. A.S.N.F

every time I watch and listen to this I can’t help my tears. I really want to memorise this song even though it’s not my genre but when I get to the chorus my voice starts shaking and I start crying. I always remember my late father though we are not so close. He took his own life and no one believes that he can do such a thing. He’s a happy man and afraid of death, always positive and always say it’s so happy to be alive. Depression is unacceptable.

Every time I come back to this audition I start losing tears galore. I am so glad Iam won, and hopefully the whole process has helped him through his grieving.

I’m tearing up just reliving the duet between IAM & James Blunt tonight during the finale 😭 What a beautiful deserving man 🙌🏽 Meagan also has a heart that connected with mine 🙏🏽 Thank God for bringing music into our lives to help heal 💞

I lost my father a few years ago. We never really got on and there was a lot of resentment built up over the years. This is the first time I’ve cried over his passing. This song may just be the closure I needed, but never had. Thank you Iam Tongi for this beautiful rendition. RIP Dad 💔

What an emotional experience to listen to this young man , it was a privilege. As a mother god bless you .

Katy Perry has taken a lot of heat recently, but this moment shows her true colors. She asks Iam what his father’s name is, and then she says it out loud: “Rodney.” Several times. In all the years since my father passed away and all the hundreds or even thousands of times I’ve talked about my father’s passing in conversations with people (because it was a defining moment in my life that I talk about often), not a single person has asked his name or said it out loud. That is literally the singular greatest thing someone can do to honor the loved ones we’ve lost. Their name speaks to their legacy. Speaking their name keeps that legacy alive for the people who miss them most. Like her or hate her, Katy showed so much respect in that moment for both Iam and his father Rodney, and I now have an all new respect for her. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 If you’ve lost a parent, type their name here for me (and others) to see and honor their memory. 🙏🏻💙

This is what the world NEEDS 🎉 LOVE And COMPASSION ❤️🤞

I came across this video just days before I lost my mom. While the specific lyrics talk about a dad it hit me so hard thinking about my mom. Iam knocked this cover out of the park and brought me a lot of comfort.

A real singer, real passion, pure emotions in his voice. He is amazing, a true artist. Can listen to him all day. God bless him and his future 🙌

His talent is written all over their faces. ❤

Watched this like 30 times. Brings me to tears. My dad is alive but we have been estranged since i was 9. Makes me want to establish a real relationship with him. Bless yall 🙏
