I'm old enough to remember when Simon & Garfunkel debuted this song but as great as that song was and is I never remember crying over it. UNTIL this young blessing came along. A voice for the ages that has arms that reach out and grab your heart and soul. He will heal many.
As many times as I’ve heard a lot of these classics and have heavily enjoyed, I’ve never felt the songs this way. They’re more than just great songs to me now, I have perspective that I can translate into my own life. He has a way of bringing emotions to the words.
he was the general of 30,000 nato troops in Kosovo. That was in 1999, he also stop world war three because an american commander wesley clark told james to overpower the airport, so james got in contact with a british commander Mike Jackson who stopped them saying "i will not let my soldiers start world war 3" Wave that flag that your so proud of, as you people don't understand the world. Blowing things up is not powerful.
This kid is an American idol win or lose. This kid is special. I’m a grown man and can’t keep a dry eye when I hear him perform. Literally every song gets me. He’s an amazing talent
Kid? He is English for 1 and he was the general of 30,000 nato troops in Kosovo. That was in 1999, he also stopped world war three, because an american commander wesley clark told james to overpower the airport, so james got in contact with a british commander Mike Jackson who stopped them saying "i wll not let my soldiers start world war 3"
Very happy you're going through them & enjoying as much as I have. I agree, he is a once in a lifetime talent appearing on AI & it's fantastic to watch his journey unfolding. Love your reviews, keep 'em coming! 😀
WOW! Absolutely beautiful. There is just something about a singular voice covering this song. The message seems to hold more meaning. Love your reaction, Travis. Thank you.
I love IAM's music that touches all the heart notes. It's healing for me and so soothing - my self-care. I want to buy the album today cuz I am listening to every performance over and over. Heartfelt🥰🤩😘

#RR4L WE Love You IAM! We are super proud of you!!! Kahuku Red Raiders 4 Life 🙌🏼🤙🏼 Tbh there’s so much talent in Hawaii! But Iam is Special!!! I am beyond PROUD to be from the same back yard as this AMAZING spirit!!! He comes from such a GOOD Family!!! I’ve never met him but I know his aunties 🤍 ….. We all need healing. And the way his voice allows that to happen for me - He is GOD SENT! I am the biggest crybaby every time I hear him sing! IAM, Malo ‘Aupito🤟🏼🤍 Alofa Atu & Aloha
What artist can turn this classic song into pop? Turned it into pop beat that made the audience danced! Iam did just that, a creative, sensitive, soulful and joyful soul. Iam restored our self-worth!
Iam sang a little of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” which was great. Check out Big IZ’s version. He went into the studio in the middle of the night and recorded it in one take. He would be so proud of Iam Tongi.
😭😭😭😭 I just discovered Iam a couple of days ago and got immediately addicted to him. This song is my favorite so far. I am 56 years old and he touched my soul in a way very few artists did before. God bless him and you too, dear Travis. 🙏😍❤️🙏❤️
Iam, you got nice voice, glad to see you in the top of American idols and wish you the best. The people need to take precautions when they are wunderkind. God bless you.❤❤❤
This may seem a bit out of left field, but given the message of this song this seems like the best place to recommend Soul Asylum "Runaway Train". The song is about depression, but the band voluntarily used its music video to draw attention to the problem of missing youth in the USA. I swear, it's completely up your alley and just incredible, not least because it actually managed to reunite some families. Talk about breaking the silence.
What hits my soul... is a deeper tone and passion of the pain. Angst and even rage of David Draiman's voice (DISTURBED) This one didn't hit my feelers at all... there is something for everyone

Well said sir, he touches all of our hearts deeply too in every songs he sings. He's unique and special.

Yes but ... "Hi Ren"
You just gotta do it. Sooner rather than later.
