      At 60, he's a new breath of fresh vocals it's an orchestra 🎸 in his throat. I closed my eyes listening in 🎧 headphones no image Yet of iam I awoke agape how young and genuine he looks. Being flanked by the top 20, 12, 8, 4, 3 by 2! I knew he'd win actually from the repetitive a.i. commercial. That rubbing the top of his head, blushing he's arrived. Just you and I us, wait...

I literally stop breathing & cease any movement just to make sure I don’t miss a single verse he sings or a single note he strums on his beautiful guitar. He is truly talented and is an amazing story teller the way he delivers his songs. I would buy his album and pay to see him perform! I hope he takes the #1 spot. He deserves it.

      I heard that right away...really impressed they made the effort. I feel like everyone just loves the kid (even the other contestants) and want to see him do well. I think after all the BS we've been through the last couple years, EVERYONE needs a feel good story.

    Way to GO Iam !!! You have been such a blessing this season, and you have inspired & helped so many people get in touch with their emotions, dealing with grief & sorrow-you are a light with a special gift that God has given you to share with the world. In all seasons watched of A. I., I have never seen or heard such a gifted musician as you, Iam ~ that has moved hearts & touched souls the way that you have :) even though other artists ♥ have finished well on this show, & others done very well this season, which are also very talented, not one of them in my opinion, has ever been so gifted, yet so humble...God has great plans for you, dear Iam. He put you here on planet earth for this very special assignment, and in a way, the experience of A I. for you has been a wonderful 'vehicle' to begin healing from the loss of your dad, & to carry his legacy with you to help others. Please never stop gracing us with your beautiful voice, & I cannot wait to see & hear 😍 💗 what comes next for you. A. I. is just a launching pad Iam...in my opinion, you are already #1 !!! Your dad will always be with you ❤, your #1 fan ;)... . I lost my father & sister at a very young age, and relatively young 😢 💔 for my mom. I am still grieving many losses of friends & family to Covid, Cancer, and multiple friends & family have gone before me. I know we will be reunited with them, and our beloved pets as well. In the meanwhile, we get to be soothed & star kissed with the music of Iam Tongi ! You are the best kiddo, and don't ever forget how special you 💖 are to your worldwide family 💜, O.K. ?!!!
