Iam brings me back home to Guam man. Our family bbq's, the good times, just sitting around a bonfire at the beach and singing, laughing. It's an Islander thing and Iam embodies the soul of the entire Pacific. I am so happy people are starting to now look into the Polynesian, Melanesian and Micronesian artists.

[@stinire6718]

Yessa Iam Please bring us back home to guam 🇬🇺 we love you Iam ❤💯 beautiful reaction guys I love you both ❤

[@Vicious_Species]

yes! It's a Pacific Islander thing coming from a Samoan. Love to you my Guamanian brothers!

[@bobbacon810]

I'M 72 years old, and IAN made me cry for the first time ever by myself, since my DAD died!!😢😢😢😢😢

[@1dash133]

I can't help but wonder what the backup musicians and singers feel about their contribution to the Ian Tongi sensation. For other Idol singers, it's a professional gig for the supporting cast. They do their job professionally and they do it very well, indeed. But for Iam, they can't help but be transported to another level. Not louder or stronger, but supremely sublime. Perfection casts a long shadow.

[@mander40101]

Iam can do no wrong. He takes a classic and makes his own. I cannot get enough of this kid. This is the most he's projected his voice and belted out a song. I'm out of words.

[@yaaleeuce2872]

Everyone was focused on winning, meanwhile Iam is worried about how to say goodbye to the friends he made along the way❤❤

[@tanyabenally8223]

Gotta love Iam ❤️ kid is so humble and he was worried about losing his friends aw! He’s already a winner ✨🏆 #teamIamTongi

[@encydear5693]

I know that's the difference between Iam with the other contestants while they're fighting for a spot Iam wants all his friends to still be in the competition with him....he's so humble 😊💖

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Love this humble talented sweet young man. The other contestants are probably nervous because the crowd knows Iam is the one❤🎉

[@TennesseeYaya]

He is THE ONE!!!! Love Iam even more than before!!!!!! Soul to soul!!! To the whole world!!! Go Iam @wtongi is the American Idol!! Love your reaction!!

[@charmainep1602]

[@1dash133]

Holy Moly! Did you see and hear the crowd reaction to Iam??? It was electric! My how I wish I could be there live, in person, to participate in the celebration! It was like one big party and the guest of honor was Iam Tongi!

[@wilmaalvis2515]

[@a2zme]

Lets go Iam!! Top 10 here we go! Loved the comment about islanders! Although we are separated into many different islands, we are connected by the Pacific Ocean. We are all brothers and sisters in the South Pacific! All love and family! I'm so happy Iam gets to share the island spirt/mana w/ the world!! ❤️🇹🇴🤙🏽

[@emmap1449]

[@ellenfaulkner5070]

I'm so thrilled for him. I've also really enjoyed watching you 2 reacting to his performances along the way, thanks for that. To Iam, "Malo e lelei Misa Sateki. Fiefia ʻaupito ʻiate koe & sio ʻoku ke hu ki ho uiuiʻi. Ngaahi Tapuaki & ʻOfa xo"

[@bonniearagon1332]

Just love u 2! Such joy & enthusiasm for Iam just make me feel so happy for him...he made the top 10, but it was mentioned that he'll be performing tomorrow nite w/the rest of the group...always checking out for your reactions! Love u 2!❤

[@sandraesparza717]

Love love love his renditions to the songs. His connection to his fans renders me speechless.

[@sanadaunauda9620]

A genuine Pacific soul and a blessing to the world! Bring it home toko!! Can't wait to see you at the final!! Blessing. 'Ofa atu

[@JodyY808]

I like Adam Lambert and his talent and performance style for what he does, but Iam Tongi is and never will be a performer like Adam Lambert or Freddie Mercury or Elton John, or even Sam Cook, and I'm glad he's gaining confidence but remaining true to himself and his genuine style of performing music he loves and wants to share with the world. It was also interesting to see the differences in personality and values -- Iam is finding it hard to say goodbye to friends he made on American Idol over the last several months as they are gradually eliminated, while Adam admits he had his "eyes on the prize" and was not in the competition to make friends. This is a very big difference in attitude and behavior and why many of us from Polynesian or island backgrounds prefer Iam's sincerely humble, laid-back, and friendly personality and style which is reflected in his music and on-stage presence. As the judges say, you can't help but love him!

[@charmainep1602]

Yes!!!!! #TeamTongi Top 10 🎤🎶🩴🩴🏝🤙🔥🔥🔥🤙🌟❣️

[@melinalabuguen2821]

[@donald1379]

you guys are so funny really enjoy your reactions...thanks Iam is amazing

[@pahukolofoou]

Iam Tongi is the ONE 😊. You should listen to Eddie Lovette’s Stuck on you 1985 version. It’s been a favourite tune in the Islands growing up.

[@twilyumz]

I was saying that too: Tongi-fied!

[@dianewillson1289]

WOW! Yeah, the man did that song right!

[@fundable1]

Oh WOW, Iam is just awesome, love him so much!!

[@BillTalley-dn7ux]

Game over,bra!!

[@janicewarren3801]

It was said that the audience was the contestants and family only, if so they were probably being directed. I agree it seems the winner has been picked. I would go to hear Iam sing.

[@EsskayBlue3]

Love your guys reaction to the brother Iam tongi. Keep it up all love and aloha 💯🙏🏻

[@flat301]

Great reaction video thank you for sharing

[@hollybrigdes]

I love this young man's voice he very kind and very Love Always Holly Bridges P.S. I just want to hug because he reminds me of my son who died in July 2022

[@skyisthelimit9897]

How bout Iam he pick da right songs! 🤟🏽 love this channel feels like home! Like and subscribed

[@angelo7124]

Tongi is the only one lambert did not give him advice on his deliverances on the song

[@Aidualc68]

I’m waiting for your next reaction! What a wonderful world

[@butterfly808-fq9ms]

Iam is such a caring person and gets along with other contestants he considers his forever friends. He’s having a hard time saying goodbye to all of his friends as they leave the show so he asked Adam Lambert how did he do it. Adam’s response…his eye was on the prize and wasn’t there to make friends. In Iam’s case, he bonds with them recording videos and taught a couple of them a Fijian song which is soooo nice. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpS3iJ6de5yDnKM Iam is so humble…here is the link to an interview he and Oliver Steele did for a Hawaii news channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYDOdZh5msaKna8

[@Laney2b]

Let's go Iam Tongi

[@elizabethavery8766]

Iam sooooo much love from your home state Washington ❤❤❤❤❤❤ takes my breath away every week

[@user-ty5qu6jo7g]

[@wiilli7685]

[@johnhoho6396]

What’s up John X and clueless Sexxy Lulu lot of Hawaiian reggae vibes like your reactions 🤙🏾🤙🏾mahalo !! Lulu link wen you come home 💚💚

[@melyhinojosa9442]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@FarmerNte]

The chanting sounded like I was at a sports arena, chicken skin…yah Iam

[@laladoute1730]

The audience was just waiting on Iam to bring it on to them....Wow, wow, wow! I noticed, maybe just me, but he looked as if his free hand was sort of strumming...just sayin' lol

[@sfomcgee4425]

He the Steph Curry of AI

[@FarmerNte]

Can you guys wait till Ryan Seacrest makes his comments because he’s so funny

[@kolohe4169]

Does he always come out last?

[@ce7768]

They keep him last to ensure the audience watch the show till the end. Same way a big performer is gonna perform in an award show and they put him/her toward at 2 hours 30 mins in a 3 hour show so people are watching the whole damn thing bc that's the main draw. It's done on purpose but i hope they change it up soon.

[@nancy9891]

No. He was not last last week. Putting him last definitely adds pressure to him after hearing all of the talent. A soulful performance that would have Sam Cooke proud. No one like this young man!❤❤

[@josephfronda-]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaTJmXSgm72heKc Iams original song written him

[@josephfronda-]

Please share with your subscribers, not only is he a great singer but a great songwriter. He wrote this song when he was 16 years old kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaTJmXSgm72heKc

[@vee6769]

Make love to the microphone ? Hes a kid. Wth

[@julieoliver8170]

His worst song choice. He sounds bad when he tries to vibrate his voice. Stop that bra

[@dadvsdiabetes4621]

Your deaf bruh

[@mearip6116]

the audience didn't think so🤣

[@lucan76]

Eddie lovette remade it....late 80s early 90s
