The way Iam's eyes light up each time they sing Kahuku is so precious.

[@fesuluaitiapula-dorris8143]

From Samoan Texans to you dear! You've made us so so proud young man. You've touched us all with your angelic voice and with such passion. May God's light shine on you always!

He is so happy watching his friends. What a blessing this young man is!!

I just love to see his eyes light up and see that big smile! 🧡

[@dollykaluahinenui9643]

Iam, I can't begin to tell you how Proud my Ohana & I are you! We reside in California, SF Bay area and have watched every episode of American idol. We have been in awe of your magnificent voice. And, with the amazing response to the Nation, you made it!! We all cried with joy. We are native Hawaiians' and can certainly relate to your comment "Priced out of Paradise"! Yes, the cost of living in Hawaii Nei is costly. It's a stinking shame that native Hawaiians' amongst all other islanders, have to relocate to the mainland because of the extreme high cost of living. May God Bless and continue to guide you always! IMUA!

[@playkimie]

YESSAHHH!! We Love you Iam! Hawaiʻi got your back!!! 100000000% Mahalo Haku Collective and HawaiiVerse for making this video happen so quickly!! Iʻm so happy to produce this for you with some of Hawaiʻiʻs best!!

Iam you’re an amazing singer but I have to say an even better person, if that’s even possible considering the incredible gift you’ve been given to sing. As Lionel told you, you’re a superstar already. Way to make everyone fall in love with you!! God bless you brother.

[@lourdesgiovannini5674]

We can’t predict the future but to so many of us you are already the winner of our hearts. God gave you a precious gift, thank you for sharing your gift. Iam I lost my granddaughter Leilani two years ago and watching you share your soul and your beautiful voice brings so much joy to my heart and soul. Thank you , watching your own journey and your resilience through your own pain is truly healing. By the way I’m voting for you from California I’m 60 years old , first time American Idol, only watching it for you

[@cherylalt101]

Lourdes, I'm so sorry about your granddaughter. I can't imagine such a heartbreaking loss. I too get great pleasure out of seeing Iam's journey. He's like a shining beacon of light that draws people to him when he sings. Sharing his reaction to this wonderful song of encouragement was very thoughtful and his enjoyment was really lovely! It's hard to remember how young he is sometimes cause he seems like such a sweet and calming spirit, an old soul lol. I appreciated your comment and really just wanted to say take care Lourdes, have a good day, and enjoy the show!

[@officialiamtongi]

Thank you for the love and support and so sorry for your loss ❤

[@crystalbluewaters]

I agree never doubt the impact that your beautiful spirit, your music & influence has cast around the world. Social media apps are a mix bag of delights & not so nice places. Trust alanis morisette's advice to haven that alanis's father gave her when she started music industry, you will have people who love you, people who don't & some who won't care either way. Just stay true to & the amazing person that you are with gift & legacy of father & son to share with the world! You are amazing! I was looking through colin's & megans comments from people on their homestate news channels going home, & i burst into tears with the amount of Aloha's, love & support hawaii brudda's & sista's of yours gave to both fellow contestants. We need more of this from all over the world to cast sunlights warmth & love over the cold gray clouds of society's that we live in. Thank you for being our sunlight, our lava, & beacon. Sunday night will be spectacular & can't wait to cast my 30 votes to a very deserving kahuku native. Aloha!🤙🤙
