Crazy how the moment he opens his mouth to sing it becomes so clear how he won the whole show. He’s got something so SPECIAL. It’s just evident in his being. I love the song too!!
I think he’s become more confident and comfortable on stage since the show. Being back home, not having to compete this time, and singing an original song… all of that definitely shows here.
Truly hope you feel better soon! Love listening to iam's songs whether its to do things or needing a mood adjustment. You can't help but feel his smile & love of music through his voice.
I remember his hawaii top 26 after performing don't let go he walked backstage eyes just sparkling with joy. Then his excitement later on to get out on stage to perform, & ryan had to pull him back to give him his results. He's a natural performer! His enthusiasm is infectious
For consistancy this season from the getgo, i'm calling will moseley this season with jack block runner up. Will sounds like a cross between chris stapleton & toby keith, and should be on the radio already. But yes, if iam were able to run again, hands down he'd be at the top!
Loved seeing Iam again! Such an amazing song! It's exactly the kind of song he would write and sing. I'm not surprised he wrote this. It's good that the record label is actually letting him do his own thing unlike the other winners who are stuck with the contract.
Already performing lots of places big and small this year. You should check his schedule. And he’ll be adding more later. Last year he added a ton of east coast and even international to fall and winter
When Iam Tongi sing His New single ''Why Kiki'' During His performance At Disney's Hawaii of American Idol Tonight Wow I thought He did such A great & Amazing Job, It was So Entertainment I felt like dancing, It was good to see Him back home!!!
I really hope Iam is taking good care of his health. The world needs him, he must live a long life!!! Everytime I listen to "Monsters" by James Blunt I cry remembering Iam's live performance in audition and at the stage with James himself. A pure soul who brings joy whenever he starts singing.
Iam Tongi, your sweet Daddy, your Beautiful Angel is so proud of you!! I voted for you throughout all last season, & I've never looked back!! You are a BEAUTIFUL GEM!! I LOVE YOU IAM TONGI!! 💜 & Aw. My heart. The Little Boy singing his heart out with Iam, & the whole Audience!! 😍💜
Iam is the sweetest guy and every performance is just lovely. He puts so much feeling and good vibes into every song. I still follow him. He brightens up a day with his music! Loved this performance!
@@scottyking7161 I caught Iam's audition by accident and said to myself 'WINNER'. I was hooked on watching the entire season due to Iam! I LUV Alajondro also. What a sweet guy and never seen anything like him in way of his guitar skills! So humble. I still remember when Katy referred to him as special and he responded 'I don't think I'm special, I'm just hard working'❤
@@KatHenderson. It wasn't your dad or god, it was a coincidence. That's it. Paranormal is just your own thoughts playing tricks on you. It's temporary psychosis. Relax... Breathe. iiiiiinn... oooooooouut.
Like a fine wine which gets better with time, Iam shows us why he won last year. The talent was always there, now we will see his career as it ages over time. Glad to have seen the beginning and growth of this talented kid. He was only 18 years old when he won!
He reminds me of a cross between brother iz, josh tatofi, spawnbreezie, kolohe kai & maoli all rolled up into one beautiful package, with his own voice & flava. Will look into the artist you mentioned! Iam's fan base intro'd me to brother iz, tatofi & maoli, & iam intro'd spawnbreezie & kolohe kai with his 2 covers on american idol. Love being intro'd to new artists i never heard of.
Crazy how the moment he opens his mouth to sing it becomes so clear how he won the whole show. He’s got something so SPECIAL. It’s just evident in his being. I love the song too!!
Iam sure did❤
YESSAH
My cat is even addicted to him, and comes running when she hears his voice 😂
Yep unfortunately the studio ruins his voice. Which is why noone will buy his music. That said people are gonna be lined up to see him live.
I'm not bad mouthing him either. He's my favorite American idol singer ALL time. I also love David cook and David archuleta also Caleb johnson
Back like he never left. Easily one of the best American Idol winners of all time.
Agreed, so smooth.
I think he’s become more confident and comfortable on stage since the show. Being back home, not having to compete this time, and singing an original song… all of that definitely shows here.
When you hear this and think "he could win this show!" only to realize that he already won the last season 😂 Well deserved 👏🏼
😂😂really though!
The three judges smiling like three proud parents.
This guy has the voice of an angel
He does, indeed!😅
I loved how the moment they announced him everyone started screaming. He still has an impact a year later. Love you Iam. Yessah!🤙
The boy singing is proof how catchy this song is. God bless Iam Tongi!
He still shining like a gem. Brilliant vocalist.
I am sick, I was feeling down with Covid like symptoms and then I listen to this kid! Wow makes my spirit feels better
Truly hope you feel better soon! Love listening to iam's songs whether its to do things or needing a mood adjustment. You can't help but feel his smile & love of music through his voice.
He’s still fantastic.
His confidence increased by so much, he is enjoying it way more it looks like

Tongi stole the show!!!😊
I wasn't really digging tonight's show until Iam showed up. If they let him compete again, he'd win again, no doubt about it.

Don't watch. It's that simple. Bye! 👋
Geez, he's just so special. What a singer...
So smoothe. Love him for being authentic to his culture. God bless him
A natural. I'd listen anytime.
Iam bringing back those island vibes and sounding like paradise!
Tuned in just to hear Tongi! He was fantastic!
He is simply amazing - great song, too!
A beautiful soul!
Ill ALWAYS be a fan of Iam.....one of the best winners to come out of Idols
Loved seeing Iam again! Such an amazing song! It's exactly the kind of song he would write and sing. I'm not surprised he wrote this. It's good that the record label is actually letting him do his own thing unlike the other winners who are stuck with the contract.
I'd really like to see him come to my city and perform.... He is amazing.... I love Hawaiian music.... And he is keeping IZ alive

I missed last season but wow I see why he won
Iam is the sweetest guy and every performance is just lovely. He puts so much feeling and good vibes into every song. I still follow him. He brightens up a day with his music! Loved this performance!
You should listen to one of the compilation videos of his AI journey. It was an amazing season. Everyone loves Iam.
I called it from the 1st audition. Him and Alajondro Aranda by fair most talented musicians ever to get on an idol stage! Daughtry 3rd. My opinion.
@@marthalisk303 yes I will definitely do that

This is the kind of song you immediately love!
Top 3 in my book!!! Excellent control. Smooth. Great style!!!!
Awesome!

Yes! I've been waiting for him to show up this season!
Iam made the show a legend love him ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The little boy is so cute. Future American Idol.
Was thinking the same thing 😂
Aloha Iam from Delaware…keep shining like the star you are ❣️🎶🥰
ohhhhh my goodness Iam i am gonna be singing this song all day.....love the beat and your singing is beautiful!
His dad is so proud of
His dad is gone. He can't hear or see him. Be careful taking the bible route with me. I'll embarrass you.
@@KatHenderson. It wasn't your dad or god, it was a coincidence. That's it. Paranormal is just your own thoughts playing tricks on you. It's temporary psychosis. Relax... Breathe. iiiiiinn... oooooooouut.
Love you Iam ❤❤😊😊

Love this young man
This song reminds me "Tenho Paz" from "Pedro Valença". A gifted brazilian composer and singer. Such a beautiful song.
He reminds me of a cross between brother iz, josh tatofi, spawnbreezie, kolohe kai & maoli all rolled up into one beautiful package, with his own voice & flava.

Why Kiki = Waikiki...very clever! LOVE this song!
