[@OhMaiIshSarah]

He's so real. He doesn't need flashy lights or clothes to make us feel something.

[@meldasummers716]

I just can't stop listening to all his videos..I'm addicted to his soft gentle voice..you so real my darling IAM..we love you dearly from South Africa..❤❤❤

[@debbiebeaulieu6787]

Im addicted to his beautiful, angelic voice too 🎶🎸 we We la'va Iam too ❤

[@janeyjem7180]

Raw and honest performance with no gimmick. We all need this today.

[@user-dp9rl3wu1b]

With the world is such chaos and many young people feeling lost and pressured to keep up with a certain standard, here comes this blessing from God named Iam Tongi. This 18 year old kid who is so humble and hasn't even been to the zoo as a child and now he's performing in front of the world at Disneyland is truly amazing. May his career go far into the heavens and may God continue to protect him and ensure he is properly guided in an industry that can be so cut throat. Thankfully, he has a loving mother and family who will be there to always love him no matter what. Mahalo Iam for sharing your gift with us and may your calming voice and easygoing personality resonate with young people where they appreciate the simple things in life that mean so much more like love, kindness, peace, patience and understanding rather than material items. Let's go Iam. We love you!! Aloha!

[@jeannefollett6253]

You just expressed my thoughts perfectly, especially about the world needing someone like him and the fear that the music world will chew him up and split him out.

[@lovedove2661]

Mahalo for this beautiful tribute. 🙏🏽

[@jllucas501]

@@jeannefollett6253 The thing that scares me is what Kelly Clarkson said on her show about producers throwing money her way and Kevin Hart having to stop her from saying too much (he said shhh they are in the room). This industry is very sick. It's crazy how the family always wants fame for their kids but they never know that the money becomes the end all. I just hope that his mother stays true and does not use him as an investment(it's always the family that uses a sweet kid). He is such a special boy.

[@bsmith883]

❤❤❤

[@mariloutapitan654]

Truly wonderful words about Iam 🤟👍🙏

[@mapelitauteoli3887]

He’s so real. I can listen to IAM all day and all year around.

[@mapuianalatu5053]

You the best Tongi May god be with you all way to the end

[@stacyalthen2893]

Such a refreshing voice. He never needs to scream to reach the high notes, he just does it all so effortlessly, all the while it hits the souls of many listeners. Thank you for sharing such an authentic voice with the world.

[@jaypee415]

Shout out to the great Idol judges who from audition no 1 helped bring the story and the talent of Iam Tongi by their kind encouraging words to a kid that is a superstar

[@keenanadcock9013]

Iam’s “short ribs” comment was such a Polynesian response to what he looks forward to in Hawaii!! Go IAM-we LAVA you!! 🙃🤙🏾🙃

Listening to the judges comments and hearing " Your dreams have come True" ,IAM TONGI, well if someone of Lionel Richie's Calibre says that to you then who am I to ever disagree. I know we all want you as the 2023 American Idol. All the way from Namibia.

[@rippittupp5607]

[@mattcandiepetty3933]

Luke Bryan said it well: "You don't have to work hard to go be Fake! You just come out, have your thing and people just gravitate. I've never seen a room light up the way you make it light up! It's Very Special

[@lornanair888]

From Philippines we ❤ u iam....u r d American Idol 2023🥰❤️

[@wxkat]

What I like about this performance is how his storytelling draws you in and he adds just enough power to his vocals at the end to remind you that he’s very much a strong singer. That he didn’t need to sing powerfully the whole competition and yet get fans (and votes) speaks volumes about his storytelling ability.

[@debbiebeaulieu6787]

We lava you Iam ! You authentic through and through, sensational NEW artist,musician,writer, performer! We can't wait til his cds drop and concert tickets! We are excited for iam! ❤ ⭐️🎶🎸💿
