It's amazing to watch the transformation of Iam from his first performance to this one, his confidence, his stage presence, him just being in his element on the stage just awesome. Let's not assume he has this in the bag, please vote, vote vote folks. There are 3 voting platforms please use all.
Bruh, 1 of not only the best days of my life , went w my nephews & grand neice& nephews early to kick it on th beach @ turtle bay , beautiful day swimming w turtles also on th beach by us , then after several hrs we walked to the concert im older was kinda tired but So worth it, best Concert event Ive been to ?& ive been to Choke , long story short the Event was so Satisfying i dont have the words its was more if a Feeling of Family ,Aloha & straight up, Good Vibes, i mean every body was Happy, pleasent, Generous such a great Example of what us Locals are supposed to Live Aloha which Every body did at this Beautiful & FREE history making Event that can be described by prob 1 of the strongest, powerful Olelo words which is "PONO" yees siir Malama Pono gang!👊🤟🏽👍🤙 🤙
Have heard this kid sing Fijian Love songs with perfect pronunciation of the words which shows that he has an amazing ability to learn something different and then put his spin to it. Awesome talent. Good Luck Toko on your journey.....
IAM TONGI, you are a STAR. You are made to sing it is so natural for you. I will buy your music for sure. Love love love you. My votes go to you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Iam there is a reason the whole world has fallen head over heals in love with you. The world needs the light, love, and joy you bring in spades so much right now. I detest AI bit have followed this whole season because of you. I love you and wish you abundance for a lifetime. Thank you for shining for us all. And please just always stay Iam Tongi!
Love you, Iam. Especially when you sang "Over the Rainbow." Sounded almost like the HI singer who sang & passed away. God bless you on your journey all the days of your life. I am a Southern California native & proud of it even if CA politics 😉 have ruined my Golden Gate State. I grew up learning the dance of "hula" that at 60, I still remember. Aloha and lots of DSNY magic hoping you have won tonight!
I ❤ IAM!!! I PRAY THAT HE WINS. AI voters are good for choosing the wrong contestant. Either way I pray for Iam and his musical journey and wish him continued blessings!!!❤❤
Let's hope the country/teen girl vote doesn't outdo the Polynesian/Asian vote and make Colin the idol! He's good, but he's NO Iam Tongi. God bless Iam and all he is to our world.
I know what you mean, i was there & the MCs kept saying hold the signs up for th American Idol cameras but not the whole Event , i guess nobody was thinking logically ? ? Take Care🤙
There is a bigger audience out there that Are NOT INTERESTED IN ALOHA MUSIC. his music capability is too limited to this music. Sorry would not buy his music. Just another teenager with a guitar and music focusing on Aloha music. I am surprised he lasted this long. I wish him luck
And you can have your opinion, but obviously you know nothing about hawaiian and polynesian music. Since Iam been on American idol, people have been listening to hawaiian music and loved it. Only a few of you would not understand, So go and listen to something you like, because We Like and Love Iam’s guitar playing and his singing. Fa laia👋👋🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼Yessaaah Cheehooo!!❤️🌺🇼🇸🇦🇸🇹🇴
Go away sunny leone😂😂..you are not invited here.Go play yur guitar under a bannana tree😂 and eat a ripe banana...As Iam repping Hawaii to the world, leessggoo!!❤❤
I hope he wins ..he is so real..I am sure he will have a career..but he.deserves this win...if he doesn't I think we should protest loud..and clear..a petition on.line. please don't forget to vote for Iam.
Gosh he looks soooo happy and in his element!! This warms my heart with fuzzies!! God bless him real good🥰🥰🥰🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🎤🎶🙌🙌🤙🤙🤙🤙❤️❤️❤️ Im tellin ya this is our winner!! Vote vote vote people!! I make my whole family vote for him and I vote for him. And we got hoodies T-shirts and also helped him to have this homecoming journey by donating!!🤙🤙❤️❤️🥇🥇🔥🔥💯💯🥰🥰👍👍🙌🙌🏆🏆🎶🎶🎤🎤🥇🥇
I have never felt so strongly about a contestant on any show for all my years, like I do with Iam!! He deserves every blessing that God has for him!! He’s a beautiful soul and I can’t wait for him to win this year!! We are voting and supporting you young man!! 💯🤙🤙❤️🎶🎤🙏🙏👍👍🔥🔥🙌🙌🥰🥇🥇
I love this young man I actually have grandchildren older than he has but he's a marvelous young man you can see the goodness in him and you can hear it in his voice I'm sure his father is looking down and he's proud that this young man is his son and his mother she's got to be bursting with pride also. He's a gentle soul with the voice of an angel and he deserves to win it all. Then perhaps he can return to his beloved Hawaii to live that would be wonderful and I'm sure his father would be so proud.
I keep saying. Wether he wins the show or not he’s already got it all. Exposure and confidence was all he needed. Better to not be locked in on that American idol contract. Either way I’m rooting for ya to win Iam!
IAM....your voice is outstanding....THE WORLD LOVES YOU...and a wee secret WE IN NEW ZEALAND have the same incredible voices and have done for YEARS...PRINCE TUI TEKA, HOWARD MORRISON..and many many more. Problem then the world didnt know or have access to this incredible singers...NOW IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE IAM...and the next local maori guitar 🎸 🎸 I am at...I will raise my glass to you and the beautiful voices of yesteryear!!!

Iam has already won. He just has to get through the formalities to hear Ryan say this coming sunday night, (and your new American Idol is IAM TONGI.)
I AM reminds me of Willie Spense. Hope he does well!😊🎉
Please vote for him, each account can vote 10 points to the max
Hawaii❤❤
I remember him from several years ago when he had an early viral hit with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on ukulele. I honestly thought he had died
Reporter said his name wrong.
They misspelt his last name. They spelled Tonig
🤙🤙
The camera guy in the back needs to go but you rock and sound great!🎸 🤘
❤❤🇮🇮🇳
💙💎💙
Why is American Idol only releasing clips of Iam Tongi? I love Iam, but there are 2 other contestants! See ya Sunday Iam!
Because they don't matter and this is IAMs platform!
Advertisement covering the performance
Its not I am. Iam. Try to prounce together.
If he doesn't win Idol I will never watch it again. Too bad we have to look through flags and oversized signs.
I’m sitting here like, put them billboards and signs down. I can’t see!!
Sunny don't let us know your Mor-On side
What was dropped from the helicopter
he's so sweet
There is a bigger audience out there that Are NOT INTERESTED IN ALOHA MUSIC. his music capability is too limited to this music. Sorry would not buy his music. Just another teenager with a guitar and music focusing on Aloha music. I am surprised he lasted this long. I wish him luck
Can you just be happy for others. Keep your negative thought to yourself. Life is beautiful.
♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👏🤙👏🤙🎺🎸🎼🎷🎵🥁🎺🎻💃💃💃

Can't count how many times I'm watching this 😊❤
So rightly deserved I’m glad you got treated like that because you’ve worked really hard and you deserve it
THat cameraman that keeps walking behind is distracting, annoying..Love you Iam
That’s probably American idols cameramen they have to capture it so they can edit for the show later.
Tell me he’s not a performer! Go Iam!! THIS is what his concert looks like!!
Hopes he win Idol , he deserved it really and for the Polynesian people of Hawaii
I keep saying. Wether he wins the show or not he’s already got it all. Exposure and confidence was all he needed. Better to not be locked in on that American idol contract. Either way I’m rooting for ya to win Iam!
