He is absolutely a Mega talent. He moves your soul when he sings.❤❤

[@marisa5934]

Close your eyes and listen to this voice 👌❤️

[@kawehionalani3957]

💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@estellasilva1106]

I can hear him sing all day long. Its soft, sweet, bittersweet..this guy is tremendous! I want a cd of anything Iam records.

[@linda1541]

I’m hoping he’ll sing this song again without showing the judges talking. Maybe in the finale. ❤

[@airpodz4438]

It’s really disrespectful in my opinion. I mean to say when the performance is this good anyway. It’s like just ‘shut up and listen. You’re not that important.’

[@alfonzinachacon4488]

OMG he's voice is so beautiful. Heaven heaven sent. Just raw talent. I get goosebumps just listening to him. He sings from his heart. What passion he has he has my vote

[@antonyleemulvey8226]

There is perfection and then we have Mr Iam Tongi. Truly believe Simon and Garfunkle are in envy, wishing this is how they song this.

[@bethsmith5064]

He won me totally over on this performance!

[@bens11kleij44]

He "drives" wright in to your soul, body and ❤️ Iam Tonghi I'm 63 you made me cry. I never heard somebody sing so beautifull and deeply touching like you do in my life!!! And you are also a beautifull loving person!! Of course you're daddy is proud!!! Maybe even angels can sing like this.....

[@ionlarry-uz3yl]

[@crasusm]

I am stuck! Nothing else matters as long as this plays. It's just silence and I'm at peace

[@NurseSmolly]

His voice gives me goosebumps.

[@lorenebartolome1493]

Everytime.he sings I almost cried...full of souls...

[@DeeDee-sz3tf]

Awww i just like him, he's not over the top, just simple and beautiful

[@gordonowens7794]

I like how he changes the cadence in such a subtle and smooth manner, like when he says "cobbelSTONE"

[@dmmchugh3714]

Agreed. He certainly gave his own stamp on this cover.

[@shadseger2067]

His voice is a true comfort but yet slightly unpredictable in a beautiful way.incredible voice.

[@suetaylor6657]

A guy so deserving of his win congratulations Iam 💗

[@brianhayes5926]

This makes me sad in the best way lol...Amazing version ❤❤

[@sandraesparza717]

I would love to see you do a reaction to his original song Dreams. Beautiful song he wrote for his Sister’s wedding.

[@aaron6796]

This young man is exactly what this country needs. After losing his father & promising to use that guitar in every performance, he absolutely rose to the occasion. Proud of you Iam and thank you for repping Federal Way HS the way you have. Go Eagles!

[@wxkat]

Iam’s performances have me hooked from the very first note he sings. Even better, he does it without having to resort to fancy vocal gymnastics. That’s how you know he’s an excellent storyteller. To have that gift at his age is definitely something special.

[@lesegonals6231]

Yeah I can't stop listening ❤

[@herbjohnson7275]

Looking forward to a lifetime of entertainment from this man 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheLibran38]

he has this incredibly sweet voice (and his soft Hawaiian accent brings back memories of when I was a student at U Hawaii)..

[@tursinrahman3702]

This is not only music or a song!! It’s the music with it’s heart ♥ And the voice makes me cry...

[@annaberlettano2685]

OMG makes me chill.

[@maryhorn3829]

[@HelenKavo]

My favourite from iam tongi, sung with all the feelings that touch your soul❤

[@mysticwanderer4787]

He does a very good version of this song. As mentioned, Hawaii is blessed with so many talented singers. I have heard several versions of The Sound of Silence on BGT among others since Disturbed did their version that is simply mind blowing. Even Paul Simon loved it and he never likes covers of his music.

[@melvinharris2391]

That guy is the best

[@eunicederenne6098]

I want to hear his beautiful arrangement in its entirety Sound of Silence!!!!

[@jmjm1920]

Was hoping he completed the song wow 😊❤

[@user-lf5gm9rw5p]

Oh my gosh, every time I hear Iam sing this song I get chills. Absolutely beautiful

[@ouidalanuza7177]

Pure, honest, moves me close to the Truth.
