He "drives" wright in to your soul, body and ❤️ Iam Tonghi I'm 63 you made me cry. I never heard somebody sing so beautifull and deeply touching like you do in my life!!! And you are also a beautifull loving person!! Of course you're daddy is proud!!! Maybe even angels can sing like this.....
It’s really disrespectful in my opinion. I mean to say when the performance is this good anyway. It’s like just ‘shut up and listen. You’re not that important.’
I think everyone sees the magical connection between Iam & his daddy 🤍 I also see it from his mama’s point of view. I think having a boy of my own makes me see even grown men differently - they were and always will be someone’s baby. Well done Iam & great job mamma & dad ❤
Iam, I Love you SO much. You have brought tears and smiles to so many people. You ' WILL ' be successful no matter what happens on Idol. Thank you so much and may GOD bless you, your family, and your future. Roger Crowder in Burnet, Texas
IAM... your soul says it all,when u r born with a talent like this it will continue further than u will ever know,bless u sweet boy and dont ever give up❤❤
This young man is exactly what this country needs. After losing his father & promising to use that guitar in every performance, he absolutely rose to the occasion. Proud of you Iam and thank you for repping Federal Way HS the way you have. Go Eagles!
Love this song and absolutely enjoy Iam's version. Reminds me of my childhood, listening to these easy listening classics. My heart is filled with love and joy listening to him sing any song. Iam has a God given talent and we are so blessed to experience it. Thank you Jackson for this video.
Iam’s performances have me hooked from the very first note he sings. Even better, he does it without having to resort to fancy vocal gymnastics. That’s how you know he’s an excellent storyteller. To have that gift at his age is definitely something special.
Love his voice could listen to him sing 24 7. One amazing young man
He takes your soul to a musical journey and never brings it back
I cry every time I listen to this song.
His Daddy with him and his voice and he has a voice of an angel!
I like how he changes the cadence in such a subtle and smooth manner, like when he says "cobbelSTONE"
Agreed. He certainly gave his own stamp on this cover.
He "drives" wright in to your soul, body and ❤️ Iam Tonghi I'm 63 you made me cry.
I never heard somebody sing so beautifull and deeply touching like you do in my life!!!
And you are also a beautifull loving person!!
Of course you're daddy is proud!!!
Maybe even angels can sing like this.....
oh shit 63 and you cried???? no way man!!!
Awww i just like him, he's not over the top, just simple and beautiful
I’m hoping he’ll sing this song again without showing the judges talking. Maybe in the finale. ❤
It’s really disrespectful in my opinion. I mean to say when the performance is this good anyway. It’s like just ‘shut up and listen. You’re not that important.’
Should be bought out as the best version ever
I would be thrilled if he won! I will purchase whatever music he creates.
I think Paul would be proud! Absolutely amazing.
Close your eyes and listen to this voice 👌❤️
💓💓💓💓💓💓
This just proves my statement. You don't Hear the Emotion in his voice You FEEL IT.
Everytime.he sings I almost cried...full of souls...
I can hear him sing all day long. Its soft, sweet, bittersweet..this guy is tremendous! I want a cd of anything Iam records.
I think everyone sees the magical connection between Iam & his daddy 🤍 I also see it from his mama’s point of view. I think having a boy of my own makes me see even grown men differently - they were and always will be someone’s baby. Well done Iam & great job mamma & dad ❤
I am stuck! Nothing else matters as long as this plays. It's just silence and I'm at peace
Maybe he could do also nothing else matters 👍
please record this song!! I must have it!!!!!!!! Iam, your voice......speaks to my soul!!!
Yes, want to see what he does with it in its entirety, a favorite song of mine!!!
Iam, I Love you SO much. You have brought tears and smiles to so many people. You ' WILL ' be successful no matter what happens on Idol. Thank you so much and may GOD bless you, your family, and your future. Roger Crowder in Burnet, Texas

Greetings from Holland IAM.
Really great
God bless you, sir. Thank you.
IAM you are the best
Looking at your mum in the audience she is very proud of ya
Love this dude 😊
he has this incredibly sweet voice (and his soft Hawaiian accent brings back memories of when I was a student at U Hawaii)..
Iam’s performances have me hooked from the very first note he sings. Even better, he does it without having to resort to fancy vocal gymnastics. That’s how you know he’s an excellent storyteller. To have that gift at his age is definitely something special.
Good evening, gentleman, your music is very beautiful, I really like it, a big hug from a distance, from Holguin, Cuba.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He has a beautiful and pleasant tone
His dad looking down with a smile RIP pops ur son is a star
