[@GanjahMacK]

Love that he chose to bring the islands with him to the finals. They have a video of Kolohe Kai’s reaction to him watching Iam perform his song which was cool.

[@RNTV]

We will have to watch that! We love that Iam always stayed true to his roots and brought the islands to American Idol! 💜💚

[@tmahue9541]

Where can we see their reaction? ❤

[@JozieY1]

I saw that! Chicken skin! Proud to be born and raised.

[@kananit1529]

@@RNTV Please do! It's so great to watch this amazing moment for both of them

[@user-ze4ft2rx1d]

I saw Kolohe Kai react as Iam was singing their song, Cool Down. He could barely control himself. It was so wonderful to watch.

[@sbsk2526]

Where the video? would love to see their reaction

[@RNTV]

That is awesome! 💚💜

[@marshalls7340]

Its about a minute and half in the video

[@Hawn7474]

Here's the video..Iam could have sang any song but choose to stick to his island roots..kolohe Kai is a popular local artist with many growing up with this song,.it talks about summer life in Hawaii and evolves around the beach. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnmsZZJtZ892bM0

[@bonniearagon1332]

It is so cute how you've adopted the Hawaiian way ...the local vibes can totally be seen watching you both! Its really cute how you're even speaking the local lingo..& you say it oh so right! Cheeehooo..Yesssahhh!😊 ❤❤

[@RNTV]

Thank you for your kind words! The Aloha Spirit is contagious! 💜💚

[@triplevee808]

I can't stop pinching myself hearing these Hawaiian music beats that is being sung by Iam. I knew that Hawaii with it's culture and music is special and unique and the world needs to hear it. Thanks to Iam for spreading that aloha and the Hawaiian kine beats for all of the people around the world. A little Hawaiian education for you guys. The lyrics said school is pau. The word "pau" in Hawaiian means finish. Then we "hele" out the door. Hele is also Hawaiian which means to go.

[@RNTV]

The world needs that Aloha Spirit! 💚💜

[@hermanmala1745]

This is what we call island jams uso haha

[@Jaiden_Janie.adventures]

Another True Hawaiian vibe. Iam is through and through 100% Hawaiian pride. Hawaii strong

[@BraddahRob808]

from da Aloha shirt to da Slippahz ahah yessah

[@vinaalba2666]

Thank you Mike and Jessy for all the episodes you’ve done for IAM.

[@RNTV]

Our pleasure friend! 💜💚

[@kennethasahan6560]

As a Hawaii transplant living in Georgia now, I was lucky to catch wind of the Iam phenomenon towards the last 4-5 episodes of AI. As I watched and followed till the end, I was totally amazed at his natural talent that propelled him to the top! My support for him was 100%. Thank you for your support and positive reactions! I hear y'all are in Florida... i guess we're neighbors! 😀

[@faneheimoana7309]

He sang that song with pure pride😊 you can tell on his face ❤ yesssahh 🤙🏽

[@kolohe4169]

I think the back up group was having a lot of fun with the song. They were rocking along.

[@nana-pa817]

The perfect song choice for him last night, sharing the aloha spirit with the world.

[@ipspeeps78]

I also loved that the band and singers were having so much fun gave me chicken skin!!!

[@keahisalvador1186]

Hawaiian song on idol what!!!!!!!!!!!! Yessah

[@nofakin5587]

As an islander thank you so much for your support for Iam we were all rooting for him but at the same time we can’t vote because of our region❤️I felt like Iam connected us all like we all Polynesians🥺❤️Sending lots of love and blessings to you guys x

[@RNTV]

It's been a pleasure. Lots of love back to you friend 💚 💜

[@nofakin5587]

All love guys❤️

[@SuperCenti]

I've been watching American Idol for so many years, and every season was very hard to pick the winner. But this season, it was already won from the very first time Iam auditioned for this season. He is definitely the full package. His personality, his infectious smile and vibe, his angelic voice. Everyone was great the whole season, but Iam's performances nailed the W for this season. Plus when he brought the island vibe, that made people go crazy. What I get from this season, Iam definitely impacted many people worldwide. He brought millions together through his performances, and all the reactions of reactors like you guys. I love you guys reactions, and I appreciate you guys very much. All of Iam's fans worldwide, we're all one family. Hope will sea you guys and other's reactions in the future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reactions with us. May God bless you both and your children and family. See you next time

[@RNTV]

We love this comment so much! Iam has brought the world together! Thank you for your kind words and all the love! Much love to you and your ohana friend 💜💚

[@SuperCenti]

@@RNTV thank you very much. Have a great and blessed week.

[@Kahale1x]

Thank u for ur video. Our people from the islands are loving good people with so much ALOHA. People tend to talk down to us, we always support one another because we were all raised to love, respect, share and be kind to one another. Hawaii is a whole vibe! I love my people and our islands ❤ As for IAM he shared that with all of u. I am so proud of him and everything he has accomplished. He is Love (Aloha)

[@BRDRMAMACITA]

I cry every single time I see the tribute in honor of IAM when he goes home to Hawaii!! This young man has touched so many lives with his voice, his authenticity and more than anything his humbleness!!! This young mas is soooo deserving!!! ❤❤❤❤ I still cry!! It’s JUNE! I still cry!!! We love you @wtongi

[@gloriaspencer9220]

YESSAAHHH IAM...I live in Alaska and following Iam's journey from the beginning and him going back home has made me wanted to go back home too. Aloha and Mahalo to you both for an incredible reaction to Iam. Yes Cool down!!!!🥰🤘❤

[@RNTV]

Thank you so much friend! We are so happy we got to share this experience! 💜💚

[@steph.808]

Every reaction over watched to Cool down, everyone starts hopping their heads or dancing 5 seconds. Love it! Perfect choice to lighten the mood on the finale and he brought all the best vibes!

[@nellis47]

Now that Idol is over, I’m going through “Iam withdrawals”. So, I feel the need to come here every so often to watch your reactions over and over. As thankful as I am for Iam and his amazing talent, if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have been introduced to such an adorable couple. You both are so authentic and you have such big hearts. It’s no surprise that you’re able to appreciate and embrace the Aloha Spirit. It’s safe to say that a lot of people from Hawaii would consider you part of the “Ohana”. Keep up the great work. And like Iam, always stay true to yourselves.

[@RNTV]

That means the world to us friend. We are so thankful to know we have such a big ohana now! Come back anytime. Thank you so much for your kind message friend 💚 💜

[@SgtEnigma]

So wild seeing a local jam "Cool Down" on the national stage! So many of us grew up to these songs! LETS GO IAAMM!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@keahisalvador1186]

Yup, unreal yessah

[@rioritarobyn6948]

I still can remember this song when it was sung by kolohe Kai! Was a hit many years ago and now the world has heard it sung by IAM❤ Mahalo IAM Tongi for spreading the aloha on American Idol🎉👊🏻congratulations on winning the title. You deserve it all!😊

[@ouidalanuza7177]

Dear Jess and Mike, this is the Iam vibe and his versatility. This is what I mean by shared healing from our shared grief. Iam decorated my soul. He brought me so much joy that I could almost hear my late husband saying to me "Cool down". And these words will reverberate to me whenever I feel down. What a gift!

[@graciemizell8626]

As soon as he walked through the door he had me in my heart strings there was just something about him.I had to get me a box of tissues and my dancing shoes cause i knew id be doing both when i went to your channel .Thank you my sweetheart Mike and my Beautiful Jessy for all the Iam episodes.and your reactions that were priceless Hugs be safe.🥰😍🤩

[@Sakalia]

Thank you for your wonderful support for IAM👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Hawn7474]

That part where Iam's uncle called for a moment of silence is what Polynesian culture is all about. It's about Respect especially for our elders or kupunas..A loud crowd immediately went silent..That's Respect..

[@RNTV]

That was a beautiful moment to witness 💜

[@kalegallarde6369]

Mahalo for the support of our bradda, I'm in florida too I left 7 years ago and I miss home all my family is back home but this is what the aloha spirit is we are all one family 🤙

[@liliang5391]

You guys are so cute thank you for keep us updated ❤❤

[@RNTV]

Thank you so much friend! 🥰💜💚

[@kevinkalani]

As someone who grew up in Hawaii, that montage of him in Hawaii is real. Iam represents the spirit of aloha that Hawaii is all about. I truly believe the country could learn so much from the warm hearts of the people of Hawaii. I am glad the world is getting exposed to the spirit of Hawaii through Iam

[@RNTV]

We are too! The world needs the Aloha Spirit! We have been so fortunate to experience all the warm and welcoming hearts of Hawaii 💚💜

[@pattidomingo6994]

Our world needs more of the Aloha Spirit and the realism of being who you are. This is his culture, and he showed the world what it means to have love for all, especially his family. Growing up in Oahu, this is the true spirit of Aloha.

[@vinaalba2666]

Congrats IAM our new AI 2023, I Lava You IAM, I LOVE YOU IAM.🙏🏻🙏🏻🎈🎈❤️❤️🌹👍👍

[@sonniejaykalamau2194]

I can say the same of the both of you and those that responded to Iam's authenticity and aloha would be welcomed in as ohana. So awesome for Iam to sing Cool Down for the Finale! He nailed it!

This kid has an amazing Voice gives you goosebumps when he sings he reminds me so much of IZ who was an amazing singer loved his Hawaiian culture and also chose to only sing his Island music and refused to leave despite all offers he got when I hear Iam he comes to mind

[@kipeonateo]
