American Idol winner Iam Tongi paid tribute to his late father during the show's finale with a duet with James Blunt. Tongi auditioned with Blunt's song "Monsters" and teamed up with the singer for an emotional performance. The song holds significance for both artists, as Blunt wrote it for his father who battled chronic kidney disease. Tongi lost his father just before his audition and dedicated the song to him. The performance moved the judges and ended with a heartfelt hug between Tongi and Blunt. Tongi also performed his new single, dedicated to his dad.
