I watch the show only for him. Don’t get me wrong, many of good singers are in this season, but I tune in to see him. He just nails it every time and is so genuine.
@@bon3s994 there's been those types in the past, but anymore, it's the cute, country boy with a guitar that wins. Theres only one of those in the top 26, but I don't think he's gonna be good enough to get there... so hopefully, this year, it will go to someone who truly deserves it.
Iam is 100% going to win, if not come 2nd. Just look at the videos on UA-cam.. all of Iam's videos have like 10x a many views as any of the other contestants.
I'm nearing #72 soon, and Iam has captured my heart. I watch this everday multiple times.. Idol has been as blessing for many, but Iam & Adam Lambert are always there. Love them both 💕
Vote for this kid to go all the way! He is truly amazing 👏 ❤ 💖! His voice is beautiful...I 💙 listening to him sing ANY song 🎵!! Can't wait to hear n see him perform on the show!! Vote 🗳 vote 🗳 vote 4him! Like comment if u agree!!
When I hear him sing, I hear peace, joy, and his whole heart. He puts everything into every song he has performed. I cannot wait to continue watching his idol journey. He's my favorite in this competition and I hope he wins this!
YuP and his Mama is 🇼🇸 SAMOAN CHOOOOHOOOOO! Way to rep USO LESSSS GO IAM WAY TO REP THE ISLAND ESPECIALLY US SAMOANS And u did SPAWNBREEZIE CHOOOOOHOOOO MANUS!
Well, Hawaii did it once before with Jasmine Trias making Top 3. I see No reason why We can't do it again! Maybe Winner this time, hopefully not fixed like Jasmine's season. I did also forget Camile Velasco who was in Top 9. Both from Hawaii both awesome singers. So if we did it way back then....Hawaii just has to get it together and Vote for Iam!
His mum told us they taped songs of his dad and him singing and it helps him sleep. Well Iam I could go to sleep listening to your beautiful voice every night 😊
I am not in america but you motherfuckers better vote for this man! He might not be quite as technically gifted with his voice as some of the others but its about so much more than that, the sound of his voice trumps all of that imo, its such a rare thing and everytime he sings it comes from his heart and it is beautiful. Even if he doesn't win, he has something special and he'll continue to be successful. Look forward to next week
I think Iam Tongi is a reincarnation of Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole. His voice is so captivating that it almost hypnotize's you. Tongi is the new voice of Hawaii and will definitely be recognized and probably will have a record deal.
Pure, spiritual, soulful, incredible, humble are just some of the many words I could use to describe Iam Tongi. Amazing performance, spectacular voice and I really hope he wins!
Every time he sings, my eyes well up. As Lionel said, it is a spiritual experience. I love the islands and love the sound of this island man. I hope he goes far, as I will look forward to see what he does the next week. Go Iam.
His performances are just the best. There may be better vocalists in the competition but he’s just the most fun to watch and has such a feel good aspect to him that he’s probably my favorite contestant ever
I'm sitting here smiling and crying all the same time.. I so waiting for Iam to Win America Idol 2023.. He's a sweetheart and boy can he be sing.. This is such a beautiful video with Izzy and Iam. One-day iam is gonna be walking around the island of Hawaii just singing his heart out ... I love you Iam you ❤❤❤
I love how the young Samoan/Hawaiian boy in the crowd looks at Im Tongi with such admiration, love, and you can tell he's really enjoying the music 🌺🎵🎶♥️.
Iam tongi 💯 American Idol has 'Gold' Treat him with care and love IAM is your American Idol WINNER 2023 💯 The most natural, vocal multi talented performer,musician,writer this season, his stunning vocals is a magnet, just takes you away somewhere else, breathe, calm, serene ... IAM TONGI 💯 waiting for the albums 🎶 concert tickets 🎫 🎶
This American Idol season is not in South Africa yet but I have been watching every single of Iam's performances on YT. Just unbelievable. This kid is THE WINNER!!!
He's by far my favorite male singer in the competition. If views/clicks are any indication on who's in the lead, who's the front runner, then this dude has a commanding lead!! That sound of silence cover was phenomenal!!
I said the same about Alejandro. He's still (far and away imo) the most talented musician to have graced the Idol stage, but we all know how that went. Hope the voters wise up this time, this kid is by far best to this point.
Hot DANG I love this young man! He makes me cry with his voice every time. Even this faster song did! Just love him so much! Love, Love, LOVE HIM!!! ❤️ 🤗 I’ve already downloaded every song that I can of his. I could listen to him ALL day long! LOVE YOU Iam! You are a STAR! 💫 🌟 Best of luck to you! Amazing voice! God given voice!
He is so amazing I have no words he is got a smooth voice he sings Beautiful he is a gift from God and we love him so much wishing you the best the best and please hurry so you can get those records out there
I have never watched idol. Was channel surfing. Iam was singing. I couldn't stop watching. Now i watch every week hoping iam will win. I love that voice
He’s literally was born for this…. This was his destiny! Its awesome to see him in his element & his stage presence & comfort gets better each time without sacrificing that humility that makes me so endearing to listen to. Who doesn’t love to watch someone’s dream come together in front of their eyes.
You can see the confidence in him among family and friends, eyes wide open, no messing with his hat or nervous tics, just feeling himself and smashing it once again. Hope he wins it all!
Ohhhh my God!!!! Iam Tongi ❤ if America doesn't make sure he wins this.....I loose faith in the USA, seriously he is an earth angel!!!! No question about it❣️
Best thing about watching idol this year is this guy
I so agree with you
YESSAH 🤙🏾
Amen. He is so very talented and down to earth.
Iam Tongi breathed new life into a stale, tired show…he is the best AI in the history of this competition!
First time ever someone has sang a song no one else but Pacific Islanders would know. History maker Iamtongi❤️❤️❤️
facts!!! yesssahhhh
Now the whole world knows this song. What an amazing young man with the perfect song for the night.
Or anyone from KCMO. Spawnbreezie is amazing!
I'm aussie and have listened to Spawnbreezie for 13+ years
Love this version!
I watch the show only for him. Don’t get me wrong, many of good singers are in this season, but I tune in to see him. He just nails it every time and is so genuine.
Amen!
Me too! Can’t count how many times I’m here replaying
Me too I'm addicted with his angelic voice.
Me too I love Mr yessaa❤
The best singer so far. I’m in love for Tongi since the first appearance. He deserves to be at least a finalist.
Id say tongi,oliver in the finale but oliver wins cause of hes rocker style which usually ends up winning...
He is my favorite!!!!!
Iam's amazing and such a perfect song. I love Oliver too. Such a nice guy and great artist.

I thought I was the only one that did that. 😊😊. I must have watched each of his perfromances like 100 times already.
Yessahhh 😂🌺🤙🏽
Every song this young artist sings takes us with him to another place…what a gift he has!😊
He's ADORABLE talented,tender heart,beautiful young man!🎉
I agree, He is something special!
He’s simply has a soul we can’t even touch.
He’s so old school bless his father for teaching him about these songs. No wonder Lionel loves him!

Mahalo

The Best singer on the show PERIOD!
I would pay hundreds of dollars to see him in concert! He brings such a bright and beautiful energy !!!!
He puts a smile on everybody's faces every time he performs. That's the magic of Iam.
His mum told us they taped songs of his dad and him singing and it helps him sleep. Well Iam I could go to sleep listening to your beautiful voice every night 😊

I think Iam Tongi is a reincarnation of Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole. His voice is so captivating that it almost hypnotize's you. Tongi is the new voice of Hawaii and will definitely be recognized and probably will have a record deal.
thats also what i think.. I remember IZ because of him
Same thing I thought first moments I heard him.
Spot on observation...IZ is back and his spirit is with or in him..nobody can deny that!
I agree. I was there
He should be American Idol winner 🏆 🥇 ❤❤❤
He is the Best, his Voice is Magic . You are Beautiful!
Young man I so enjoy listening to you. What a peace I get and your very refreshing in a world full of noise on the radio .
It’s a humbling experience watching Iam perform this. Just tears of joy and pride. What a true phenomenon he is! Shine on Iam! We love you ❤️
Pure, spiritual, soulful, incredible, humble are just some of the many words I could use to describe Iam Tongi. Amazing performance, spectacular voice and I really hope he wins!
Iff half of the world have his humble and loved personality..this world will be a good place...❤❤❤
Belíssimo .. de uma pureza rara
The best is how proud his family looks watching him preform.
Whoever is picking his songs and coaching him is brilliant .what a talent this man is amazing everything from his heart
Every time he sings, my eyes well up. As Lionel said, it is a spiritual experience. I love the islands and love the sound of this island man. I hope he goes far, as I will look forward to see what he does the next week. Go Iam.
Agreed...I fill up in tears as soon as he starts to sing...right to the heart!!
He's from my favorite place on earth . Thank you Hawaii for giving the world this singer.

Yes
This young man is a star! He sings with so much soul and heart. I love this young man, especially being of Polynesian descent myself! Thank you
He's by far my favorite male singer in the competition. If views/clicks are any indication on who's in the lead, who's the front runner, then this dude has a commanding lead!! That sound of silence cover was phenomenal!!
Oh I agree that song should be redone by Iam
The best singer yet.. if I had you I'd never let you go.. Love you Iam... You're the winner of America Idol 2023
I can't wait until what he sings next week!! Love this guy❤ As the song says "Don't let Go" People keep him in this competition 🙏
If Iam doesn't win, it's a travesty. Unless they have hidden someone we haven't heard yet, he's the American Idol!🤙❤️🌴🎵
I said the same about Alejandro. He's still (far and away imo) the most talented musician to have graced the Idol stage, but we all know how that went. Hope the voters wise up this time, this kid is by far best to this point.
You never know with these talent shows, but Iam's already won. Taking the world by storm. Amazing talent.

My favorite I could listen to him all day.
Is that Allen Stone Vibing to the song?? What a compliment if it is him!!! Iam delivered once again!!! Flawless!!!! Ofaz Toko!!!!

Its awesome to see him in his element & his stage presence & comfort gets better each time without sacrificing that humility that makes me so endearing to listen to. Who doesn’t love to watch someone’s dream come together in front of their eyes.
Gives me goosebumps, every. single. time.
I keep watching him perform, what a beautiful way to go back home and to perform one of our own Polynesian artists. Gotta love it. ❤❤
Every song he sings, he makes it special and his own. Voice like silk! ❤
Lionel was wrong though. Hawaii has had at least three people in top 25 on American Idle. Jasmine Trias to name one.
@@terrypeacock6093 Camille Velasco - 9th place, third season - Jasmine Trias - 3rd place, third season and Jordan Segundo (and more)
When he signs that recording deal…he’s moving back to paradise…guaranteed…
He bringing the island vibes! He got so much soul! Well done boy!! You’re a talented and hard working one ! 💯👏🏼😭
