Iam Tongi & Oliver Steele Photograph Duet | Full Performance American Idol 2023 Top 8 S21E17

[@GanjahMacK]

No matter what happens, Oliver Steele and Iam Tongi have already won. They’ve gained a brotherhood thats special, worth more than any seasons American Idol title.

[@autk]

This is absolutely valid

[@ChrisLaupama]

💯💯

[@saracornish360]

And life career. Two of the sweetest

[@daniel99611]

Iam Tongi is now Top 5

[@a.duncan6791]

If there is a more generous heart anywhere show me. Oliver's understanding of just how kind Iam is, how great his voice, his phrasing, is evident in his "big brother" protective attitude. And, no more proof is needed of just how deep this friendship has become, than Oliver telling the world Iam would call Oliver's dad and talk for extended periods as the father spent time in the hospital. Iam is selfless, gentle, and the definition of love. Also, this duet was spectacular.

[@lataifinefeuiaki4598]

Oliver is so caring towards Iam "this is my little brother right here" 🥰 reminds me of the other episode when Iams guitar broke and he was comforting him . They sing so well together ❤️

[@fesuluaitiapula-dorris8143]

That episode made their bond even stronger. That episode made me love and respect Oliver even more for what he did by helping Iam out with the guitar and also reassured Iam that it was gonna be ok. Iam was so emotional by the fact that the guitar his dad gave him to perform every song he sings broke that he took it hard, but because Oliver gave him the motivation is how he survived that duet. I thank God for Oliver and I know Iam will never forget that. So I know they will both have their own live shows in many of the pacific islands together, being an islander I'm sure. And I'm sure they will record some records together too. I love those two boys dearly. I'm sad Oliver didn't make it to the top five but hey he won't stop there. How ever far Iam is going from the top five, him and Oliver will always go far together.

[@cherylalt101]

Love to see Oliver and Iam sing together. They harmonize beautifully and their voices just intertwine in such a lovely way. Great performance guys!

[@debbiebeaulieu6787]

Bothers me is it's a solo performance and Oliver has to work on the falsetto and low tones were flat, but yea,it was still very beautiful, we Bern around music a long time and everyone is a critic, 😆

[@Brenda.206]

Their friendship and performances…amazing and beautiful 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽

[@MrFloydSaunders]

Love these two guys together, they should go on tour and cut albums together. A beautiful blend of voices and styles. The live audience seems to be in love with Iam, but Oliver is being true to his talent.

[@sbrose3776]

Finally, no rude comments from you. Good job. So one of these guys gets your votes.

@@daviddiehl8719 I thought the exact same thing! They’d be so perfect together by helping spread love and kindness in our world that we need so desperately through their voices.

[@aria08]

[@Mrs.KatsCrafting]

Cant wait for Iam's CDs to hit the market. He will be the only music in my car for a very long time. I am in a huge city with a lot of traffic and I need his calm to keep from dealing with road rage or joining in it lol. Man his voice just makes every muscle in my body relax.

[@tmahue9541]

Aww the harmonies so gorgeous!! Well done Oliver and Iam ❤ quite emotional, love love loved it ❤

[@bearnpici]

Oliver has such a tender, sweet voice in his higher register. And they were wonderful together. There is something about Oliver’s voice that I find vulnerable and it really draws me in. And I love Iam as well. Great duet!

[@beachgirl5673]

They both are very talented individuals. However, when they sing together it’s true magic.
