This song was written and performed by ABBA way back in the day & I loved it then. But this young man here, just put life to something that I never felt before. He is a true STAR & treasure.

[@asinatefotu5436]

Agreed

[@kaleani808]

3 years ago, when Iam was only locally known around the Hawaii Tongan community, he graced us with his presence when his uncle brought him over to sing for us. They ended up spending the night & we woke up to Iam cooking all the eggs & spam in the ice then jokingly asking us if we wanted some like it wasn’t ours😂 What’s amazing to me is that this kid is now a household name & is going to great & high places but still remains characteristically the same as if he is still living in Laie singing in someone’s back yard. Iam got me making fake emails just to add more votes😂😂😂😂😂😂 wehhh lol

[@kawehi4183]

Pololei…. People don’t understand how small town Laie is unless they’re born and raised here. Iam is totally a special blessing to us. Sending aloha from Nalo 🤙🏽 🌺

He's the most-watched on American idol in 2023 ❤

[@benitapenick2084]

Iam is like a balm to the soul....lost my mother last week...this brought tears to my eyes!!! He is in a class all his own! Humility, God-given talent...he touches you every time!!! Love Iam....the sky is the limit for him!!!!❤🎶🎼

Praying for you, lost my mom in 2018 she was my everything. Iam is helping ur grieve. Be Blessed

[@puakaninau-santos8051]

Iam just hits all the right heart notes. I don't care if he has an off-note or two. Of all the singers, he is the one that gives me chicken-skin. No matter how great the other singers are, they don't hit the heart notes like Iam. Iam has medicine for everyone in the music he gifts to us!!! Love him and love the great soulful and vulnerable reactions like yours. Thank you plenty.

[@berlyn3014]

Yes! I love how you said he has the medicine for everyone.

Hey, tell you what, if Iam doesn’t get enough votes to continue , a lot of people are not going to be watching this show and I am 1 of them. His voice just touches my soul and no matter how great the other contestants sing they are not bringing tears to my eyes. Let’s go Iam, we love u brother!!

[@berlyn3014]

I can't say it enough. There's just something special about him. No matter what he sings, he makes me FEEL what he's singing. Not every singer can do that. Luke had it completely right.

Aloha Braddah Dennis! Thank you for your genuine reactions to all artist & especially the Aloha you share for Iam & our Poly Nation…Iam is a special local boy who is sharing the Aloha Spirit with conviction! Mahalo dougzbbqrub

[@samantharenaud370]

His vocals are obviously beautiful, he doesn’t have the biggest range in the competition but he doesn’t need it because he picks such perfect classic songs and he connects with people. At the end of the day connecting with people and making people feel is the most important thing! I’ve voted for him and Oliver every week.

[@asinatefotu5436]

True.

[@asinatefotu5436]

[@terribeck4473]

He reminds me of Jim Crochet.

[@ofa-ki-tonganiu6688]

[@tommyhg32]

This young man is something really special. He speaks to me. I lost my mom back in February and through March and April, I’ve lost 20 other friends, mentors and acquaintances.

[@terribeck4473]

Sorry to hear about your many losses... been there too. Iam I really think was brought to the world stage now for a reason. Like the the old saying.. people or situations come into your life for a reason, a season or for life. Bless your heart! Take Care!

[@wendyfarmer4860]

I love his singing, he's so humble. Makes him real and relatable to lot's of people. Iam 's voice is awesome and he is pouring his heart into the songs he is singing. Tongi all the way.

[@berlyn3014]

I was thinking his humbleness is so refreshing.

[@asinatefotu5436]

Agreed

[@808DimpleGirl]

I love Iam so much! He’s so special. His voice gives me chills every time. You can feel the emotion behind every word he sings. He is representing our state of Hawaii so well. He deserves to win it all. GO IAM! ❤

I agree 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Had me crying. I lost my little brother last month. He got sick at the time when Iam first auditioned and I feel so invested in Iam. His singing brought me through that dark time.

He "is" something special. I can't stop watching him and cryin. He's killing it.

[@Feleunga55]

I’m right there with you brother!! Iam is a national treasure in this cold world.

[@GanjahMacK]

It brings me so much joy to see yourself as well as a few other reactors learn about our Polynesian culture a little. Iam embodies a lot of what the Polynesian culture is made of and it’s been a pleasure to watch people of other ethnicities just fall in love with him and have them be surprised at how deep our Polynesian culture rides for our own. Just pure love and aloha and I’m here for it!!❤️❤️

[@judykaake7967]

You are right he is just special

If he made an album of every song hes played on american idol. I'd buy one for my whole family.

Thank you. We all feel the same way you do when Iam sings. I could listen to him all day. I feel relaxed, sad, emotional, and happy for him all at the same time. It’s like we all love him like he’s our son, or brother. Voting will probably start back up Sunday night you have til 9am Monday morning then usually Monday night will show results. I get nervous for him because I know he’s nervous. He’s so good I know he will make it to the top.

Yes Luau kiai ofa atu.

[@brucek803]

Iam not only has a great voice, he also has in incredible ear--for time, rhythm, phrasing, key changes, pauses, volume, everything--so that his songs have a musical and emotional arc, like a well-written story. Between his musical instincts, his vocal performance, and the phenomenal band backing him, Iam's AI performances sound like a finished product on an album. He's so talented.

[@LindaLewis-uy1dk]

I think the sky is the limit for Iam. I hope this is also true for Oliver. I'm glad you're covering Oliver's original song next.

[@taeaotaliaoa2703]

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Incredible performance, so emotional. This song reminds me of the song "I Know Him So Well" from the musical Chess.

[@Katrina2446]

That song is killer, but IAM just made me hear something I never heard in it. THIS is his time. His voice reaches into our souls and awakens something in each of us.

[@MaybellizzyP]

Goosebumps and tears all the time this kid sings. I tell you IAM is so special. You throw any songs to IAM, he will sing it with so much passion and soul. Love you IAM xxx

[@Krissi3707]

Iam is so smart in how he chooses his songs. This is how Ive interpreted the lyrics. I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history (His fathers passing and even though it still pains him, its happened) I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play (Hes shared his pain with the world, and around the world we grieve with him, and we remember our own pains, hes put his life out there for the world to see, he hasnt held back) The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny (This is what hes done to win, he has had to take that risk, if you dont take the risk, you dont win, and even if he wins or doesnt win, it was still his destiny to share himself with the world) I was in your arms Thinking I'll be safe there I figured it made sense Building me a fence (He was in his fathers arms, he felt safe there, it made him comfortable. He was sharing his music on youtube with his dad, his dad prob wanted him to ho on AI but it want until his Dad passed that he decided to go audition for the world to see his talent) The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear (Talking about losing his father) Chorus again (He has to carry on to risk it all, to reach his destiny - because the winner takes it all when you risk it all)

[@asinatefotu5436]

I love watching your reactions to William (Iam) what he does that not every singer can do, is sing with the spirit. Its the spirit that enables other peoples hearts to feel it so intensely and your comment that theres "something special" affirms it. But your heart is super spiritual and pure too. I get it.

[@garyhatigeva9684]

As an ABBA fan, I must give this one to Iam for taking a classic and turned it into his own. He really killed it. Giving new life to an old time classic.... CHEEHOO!!!!!!!

[@seluvaiafunaki5838]

Yes, it was written n sung by ABBA way back in the 70's it was good then but when Iam sang it, it brought the song to a different level. His connections with whatever songs he delivered he feels it with all his soul. He is special n I can't get enough of it. I think we have winner.
