Thanks you so much ❤ 💖 😘🙏🙏🙏😭🤦

[@FortWorthFabian]

@@ofapesiniua-si1ld much love

[@RozanneKaluna]

Mahalo!

[@GanjahMacK]

“Stuck on You” is a timeless classic in the Pacific Islands. A lot of groups/singers do this song and just adding like that reggae vibe kicks it up a notch. The group Ekolu rendition is my personal favorite.

[@808TCA]

Yessa that one and Eddie Lovette version🤙🤙

[@Samoanmoekolo]

Chehooooo

[@laviniafonoifua4822]

Thanks for sharing that. I’m so glad he sang it because many islanders sing this. So glad he sang it! So so so good!

[@LT714-OC]

Eddie Lovettes rendition is my favorite

[@chaystafari3228]

The secret is, not every one knows ekolu . So to mainland it’s super original to cover it. I actually thought ekolu made that song lol .

[@soanemoa2191]

He's making all polynesians esp tongans proud! we love him and his voice. Great reaction video.

[@FortWorthFabian]

Thanks for watching

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Man, when I hear this man sing. It feels like it sets my mind and the whole world at peace.

[@FortWorthFabian]

This is true

[@twilyumz]

Same

[@kenetipese8445]

Lionel is a beloved Music Artist in the Islands, especially with Polynesians and Pacific Islanders.

[@FortWorthFabian]

So I heard

[@TennesseeYaya]

He is just the best!!! He had OVER half million views before tonight’s performance. If it’s true to this show’s “ideals” he’ll WIN IT ALL. Pure heart. Speaks to the whole world soul to soul.

[@FortWorthFabian]

🐐

[@kimkensinger6958]

I hope so❤❤

[@blakefisher3681]

If you love iam and his Polynesian reggae style, check out spawnbreezie, jboog, common kings, Fiji (the godfather of Polynesian reggae), Josh tatofi, Aradnha (incredible female voice), Leilani wolfgramm, and the tonga sisters (they grew up with iam!)

[@FortWorthFabian]

Yessssss

[@SamoanObsidian]

And the whole 9 yards… Some of the best poly vocalists out here, Cali, & NZ. He’ll need this list of treasures you wrote to start with.

[@blakefisher3681]

@fortworthfabian if you really are in Fort Worth, there is actually a club out there that does poly reggae nights

[@plt1969]

@blakefisher you are 100% right....true talent

Thanks for the great review for Iam! Cheering for him!🎉

[@FortWorthFabian]

Me too

[@ellenfaulkner5070]

You can really see his confidence levels has grown but not his ego. Great to witness. The fly chose his moment well, ‘cos when Iam first sang “stuck on you” , it seemed he was singing from the fly’s perspective, 🤣🤣🤣. Too good, too good bro' 👌I really enjoyed the change up of this song to a very fun, light & airy vibe. Lastly, I'm sure it would have been fun to a fly on that wall 😸🥸🤭 Iam "malo lava"👏

[@FortWorthFabian]

😂😂facts

[@Dayzirr]

🤣🤣🤣

[@chinkdink6739]

Look up his original he wrote GONE definitely talented with his style and stringz

[@FortWorthFabian]

It’s in the playlist go watch!

[@kristyrodriguez8063]

That islander style. Old school on a reggae Beats. 🔥 ❤ Love you Iam! Cheeeehoooo 💯

[@FortWorthFabian]

🤙🏾

[@ddyodaman5515]

The kid is priceless! He’s definitely on his way!

[@FortWorthFabian]

No doubt

[@RosaRamirez-tj2xx]

I've been cheering him on from the end of of the season I work at night next thing I know this young man is blowing the world away from Hawaii but lives in Seattle! I love him and especially his mom she's awesome!!!

[@AliKehLan]

Listen to Jr. Maile "Counting Stars" - Iam said in an interview this was the first song he ever heard that he wanted to learn to play on the guitar. Jr. hits some beautiful runs in the song and it has some familiar country vibes mixed in with some beautiful island feels!

[@FortWorthFabian]

Thanks

[@blakefisher3681]

Another vote on that one. Great song.

[@taput4175]

Yes love "Counting Stars", as well as "When I'm Gone". Junior Maile is an amazing artist

[@amwot6699]

Any song you add that reggae beat to it, it's will be a hit.

[@yvonnedelories4780]

Great review! Yes his career is already secured!!

[@ceeta042]

Stuck on you is actually an original from Lionel Richie but Ekolu also used it so it's both amazing 🥰💕🙏

[@PaiA-u9i]

I have to listen to him 1st thing in the morning here in Australia to get me pumped for the day lol

[@Dayzirr]

Yupppp!!! Even the fly loves Iam❤️👍🤙🇹🇴

[@FortWorthFabian]

😂

[@justdontcare5749]

Sending out love to all my fellow Pacific Islanders, Malo aupito Iam Tongi🇹🇴🇹🇴

[@ce7768]

Glad y'all reacting to TALENTKINGHD since they are the ones posting the full video as American Idol decided they now wanna limit their videos to 2 mins. Not sure who told them people who don't get to watch it on TV only wanna see the performance & not the before/after. We love when we watch reactions to see people reacting to the whole thing we saw on TV to get the full picture. Iam killedt this. Go vote guys bc voting is only way he wins. We can't lose him nor Nutsa (we almost lost her 2nite) or even Oliver & a few others.

[@FortWorthFabian]

For sure

[@k.s.2891]

After that jam im ready to bbq in any weather 😂😂😂

[@FortWorthFabian]

😂😂

[@odettagonzalez4355]

Iam, you’re very real and true🤣😂 Hi grandpa in the mic! Epic moment! Only us Polynesians to things like that on stage😂🤣👌 Outstanding Presentation tho👌

[@silentknight-4829]

You can’t tell me you won’t boogie to this this how we get down in the islands this song and some beers and bbq at the beach blasting this song on the stereo he makes Hawaii proud

[@FortWorthFabian]

Niceeee

[@cherylecaneda9457]

This is all island vibe and Iam has it to his advantage, I’m so proud of him. Ekolu’s vibe 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙❤️

[@FortWorthFabian]

🤙🏾

[@wisdomveritas6281]

Just look at all the videos on the American idol KZbin page, IAMs views are just smashing all the other singers. I know that doesn't mean anything but still. His views are in the millions while the next closest singer is in the thousands. He doesn't have the best voice, the typical blonde hair blue eyes Hollywood look but he has EVERYTHING EVERYONE WANTS, which is being humble and genuine and not fake.

[@FortWorthFabian]

I think it means a lot actually he has the most viewed/popular video on the American idol page in just months

[@annabray5465]

So true. IAM's vocals does not need to be loud or belting. It's how he makes the song sing to our hearts that makes him exceptionally special and a STAR!

[@annabray5465]

Very true. IAM's vocals does not need to be loud or belting. It's how he makes the song sing to our hearts that makes him exceptionally special and a STAR!

[@taniatee2042]

Iam not playing no games bro. He just up there doing what comes naturally Poly styles. Like our Hawaiian ohana say they didn't even know it was Lionel Ritchie song coz we all strumming 2 our own beat. Way 2 go Iam keep being u. Ur mum and dad man they did a magic job bringing u up humble, hilarious, genuine and always paying homage to ur Tongan roots and Hawaiian Kahuku life and upbringing and elevating our Poly sounds. I know our Hawaiian ohana are all cheering 4 u across all the Hawaian islands and the rest of us in the Pacific & world. Thank u for raising indig concerns and sharing it to the millions - jst by ur one comment - priced out of paradise.

[@MaydayMishap]

He is the most-viewed American Idol contestant in history by a huge margin. Who would ever bet against him?

[@FortWorthFabian]

you may born to these big countries and you become famous easily but us as Islanders we have great voices and if not the best but soulful voices you could ever wished for 🥰

[@boogernana]

Tongans grew up on the Eddie Lovett version… you can bet Iam Tongi’s dad played this version throughout his childhood… growing up in Hawaii, he would’ve also listened to the Ekolu version on the radio

[@frankservin3463]
