[@bubbamama6415]

I love how the musicians and back up singers are totally into it too! The band and back up singers are phenomenal 🔥

[@watsonmuaau483]

Bro I just know they enjoyed it 🔥🔥🔥

[@Lazza88]

As a polynesian from Australian,,, half samoan half tongan... i am so proud of iam tongi for finally opening doors for us polynesians!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@pf7618]

Ha ha Iam is half Samoan n Tongan n Hawaiian,Thanks for your support

[@stephaniegonzalez3179]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@rosajackson1367]

Please don't get wrong. He has a beautiful voice . However, I don't know how see he won. I stopped watching him cause it was nothing different.

[@pf7618]

@@rosajackson1367 he won by VOTE you got it, not by what you just like.

[@Lazza88]

@rosajackson1367 that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion, iam has a great voice. He captivated me from the beginning, I see him doing reggae style music with a polynesian spin to it. Just what I like. That's why I wanted him to win.

[@christinefreitas6109]

Props to the backup singers. Everyone was feeling the island vibes . Hana Hou

Hana Hou!!

[@kawehiapo6241]

Hawaii LOST IT when he started singing this song! It was absolutely a shout out to his home and it was great to see him having fun! I’m gonna go through Iam withdrawals too!

[@wxkat]

I love how Iam has fun with this song. Excellent song choice, and it shows that he didn’t need to do anything fancy with his vocals to get votes or connect with his audience. His fun alone is infectious.

[@tmahue9541]

Pretty little Ehu girl is what you're singing 🎉 yay Kolohe Kai ❤ congrats Iam you are fire on this

[@SgtEnigma]

Grew up to Kolohe Kai! Absolutely WILD to see his music on the national stage! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 LETS GO TEAM IAMM!!!

[@navIAMy]

Wooooow!!! Is this the first Jawaiian song he’s done? This is what I want to hear from him, I LOVE REGGAE and this was just amazing 🤩 I am so dang happy to have found this guy. He’s introducing me to so much good music, I’m so excited!!!

[@dawnpreston5101]

Kolohe Kai’s reaction to Iam singing their song was cool they’re so proud of him.

[@sheilalee-riley5867]

Your reaction is so on point! I feel just like you, I will be jonesing for another Iam Tongi vid and can’t wait until another one drops. Yep, he took the win and I’m sure everyone across the country voted for him!!! His soul captivated !! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mauimass]

Back up singers were on point

[@jtafiti]

Kolohe Kai was watching live and was tripping out. I hope you see that one.

[@outandaboutwithme]

I feel you too....what am I gonna do without Tongi vibes!!!

[@gtaylor2389]

That song makes me want to hit the beach right now.....if i was near one😅. God blessed Iam in so many ways. Even through the tears, the young man still finds a way to smile and sing. Truly enjoyed this video....the next one is going to bring me to tears, but its ok. It's Iam Tongi singing what started all of this.....to take a look inside yourself and realize its ok to cry. For myself, ive cried a lot and it was overdue. Losing my mom to dementia last year left me empty inside and numb all over. I can honestly say im beginning to feel better inside and i needed to cry it out. Anyway, next video....

Woohooo i was hoping to hear Iam sing Kolohe Kai, either Cool Down or The Man I Am. Awesome performance😁 The song you remember is Ehu Girl, another great hit and one of my favourites

[@noe_lani_808]

Much Love .&. Aloha to you for always supporting, Iam!! You've gained my Respect from the very beginning of Iam's AI Journey.

[@JodyY808]

This is the original "Cool Down" by Kolohe Kai, the popular classic Jawaiian song Iam grew up with and wanted to sing in the Idol finale. The video is from 11 years ago, so you know Iam has been singing it since he was a small kid. Iam is shining the light on Hawai'i and Pacific Island music and musicians for millions of people around the world! Kolohe Kai - Cool Down (Official Music Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIWYnomei7tnpZo The Iam Effect is shining its light on Hawaiʻi and Island music and the future looks bright!

[@cloudydaez]

These are the songs that I feel Iam really excels in….just that island vibe which is Iam he’s completely comfortable and confident. But I’ve loved every song he’s sung just because he has that beautiful and soulful voice that just melts your heart…beautiful ♥️

Iam Tongi has a God given talent. He touches people's hearts. What's with the conspiracy theories about rigging? Should publish voting results sure will find he won by a landslide. Is in a different league from other contestants talent like his is very rare.
