Singer/Songwriter reaction to IAM TONGI ON AMERICAN IDOL 2023 - DON'T LET GO - FOR THE FIRST TIME

[@jazzyjk41]

This song is by Spawn Breeze…. A Hawaiian/island Artist. What’s great about Iam on the show is that he is shining light on the amazing Hawaiian/Polynesian artist that exist. Hawaii has its own style of music with artist like Fiji, Maoli, Ekolu, Anuhea, Sammy J, J Boog and much much more. These artist all have amazing voices but for some reason, they can not break into main stream radio. They are all over Polynesian radio stations have have concerts around the globe but we can’t get them on main stream radio. Hopefully, Iam can change that!

As well as Common Kings who was Grammy nominated for Best Reggae Album! There a many amazing Island Reggae artists, but yes I wish they were more main stream. Thankful and proud of Iam for putting us Pacific Islanders out there!!

I love this young man ..he reminds me of the late famous n loved Hawaiian singer IZ. Much blessings to this young man ..

[@lisalogan8587]

Yes, Great song selection. As a former Hawaii residence, but still Hawaiian/Samoan blood, he chose the RIGHT song for his voice. This song is from SpawnBreeze. He can sing Maoli. A great collab would be with Josh Tatofi. I agree, he delivered a CONCERT. 😊

[@dianeritthaler7792]

I love him❤ I hope he wins🎉

[@linda1541]

My favorite of his performances was Sound of silence. This guy is a real singer. I also like Oliver Steel. Especially the way he treated Iam on their duet.

It's done there every year. This year just happens to be a contestant that was from there but now lives in Washington.

[@bobino7386]

One of the Tonga Sisters was seen in the audience. No one has noticed that yet. Also, Tonga Sisters got vocals as well

[@1badhoekaren903]

Wow my man can sing !!! Voting for you

[@ofapesiniua-si1ld]

Go lam Tongi ❤⭐⭐🇹🇴🙏💙😭

[@ce7768]

Allen Stone was on IDOL last night and he was their mentor for the first 13 contestants that performed. Not sure why American Idol didn't include the full clips but some other youtubers posted them. Also, the top 24 perform in Hawaii every year until they get to Top 10 or 12 or something and they get back to Hollywood in front of the live audience.

[@MegzLife]

I didn't kno they go to Hawaii every year for the seasons?

[@LisaD-1969]

I really enjoy your reactions to Iam! Every season the top 26 perform in Hawaii, it’s a 2 night show. Talent KingHD uploads the whole video-the little interview, the contestants meeting with the star mentor-which was Allen Stone Sunday night. American Idol just uploads the contestant singing-so which ever you prefer just thought I’d let you know.
