    The young man wasn’t worried about money or fame after his American Idol journey, he’s worried about saying goodbye to his new brothahs and sistahs that he made along the way. Just shows that Iam isn’t really doing this for the fame or fortune, but just that he really enjoys singing and singing is his happy place where he can be with his father. I love this young man, he’s representing the Polynesian culture with so much pride, love, respect, and aloha, I will forever be a fan of him as a singer, but more so as a person. May he be blessed so he can continue to bless others🙏🏽

      You have no idea. I attended tonight's live show. The video and broadcast doesn't tell the half of it. The cheering was SO loud no one could hear Katy's comments. When Luke said "I have no idea what Katy said" he was telling the truth. The crowd was so loud cheering for him you could not hear anything anyone said even from 3 feet away. But he just smiled and appeared not even to understand the cheering. It was also interesting to watch the contestants watching each other and move around to "hang" with people they like. Iam hung with Colin and Oliver all night like they were at a party together just having a great time. Maybe they know any of the three will be hard to beat.

Iam would be waiting in the front yard in his diapers sometimes naked (lol) for all his siblings to get home and let the party begin. Glad to see this guy on a big stage and to think we used to get our laughs watching them entertain us then and now he’s bringing a lot of love into this world still entertaining with his music.

      There's something indescribably magical about watching him sing. There's no way I don't see him in the top 3 or top 2.

      In the beginning I thought it was song choice and was wondering how he was picking the right songs all the time. But it's just him. He can sing anything and draw you in and make you cry, 😊😊 Each time I watch this performance again it just gets better. Impossible ? No, it's Iam magic.

      I am constantly searching for him on UA-cam, FB, IG, just to hear more of him. I am also praying that America sees him for the true gift that he is. Love, hope, charity. He makes me smile big, every time I see him. And then he sings, and makes me cry, with a big smile on my face. That’s JOY! Iam Tongi spreads JOY ❤

    He is loved all over the world. Sorry we could not vote for Iam outside the USA. He is an amazing singer and an even more amazing young man. First time following American Idol. And because of this guy. He really is something special. You almost forget about the other contestants but there are some amazingly talented people in the competition. They all deserve to be there.

I am positive that Rodney as we are all so proud of him for taking on the challenge of this show. Every time he sings his voice is so soothingly beautiful that makes our trouble hearts feel at peace. A real angel on earth. Wishing him nothing but the best.

    Usually the contestants I find most likable unfortunately don't have the talent to make it this far. Iam is truly the best of both worlds. I love each of his performances so much. He does an outstanding job and it is a joy to see someone make it, who I believe deserves this honor.

From working on opening his eyes, learning to vibe with the audience, performing without his guitar which a lot of people seen as like his pacifier, this young man is putting in work!! He may not be an idol, but the young man is definitely a great role model for how we should progress towards our dreams WHILE having fun!!
