During the episode, Kahuku contestant Hawaii sang a variety of hits, including Keith Urbanfrom “Making Memories of Us”, Kolohe Kai“Cool Down” and a moving duet of “Monsters” with James Blunt in which I pay homage to his late father Rodney.

It sounds like heartbreak when he sings, you know what I mean? And that’s what which I love in his voice, and he’s such a nice guy, so for him to come and sing with me, it’s amazing.
