Tongi is the only one that doesnt sound commercial. He's got a great voice and a atorey telling ability that makes time go by unnoticed . Every song he sang I was there, and it transcended time. And Im a musician so thats not an easy thing to do with me. Tongi all the way

[@justme7255]

This guy is the real deal - no costumes no flashy stage ,choreography. Just Iam and his guitar is enough to fill up any soul. And the music moves him as much as he moves us... there are not artists like him out there and there should be more.

If you listen to the audience after each person sings you dont hear the audience scream their names like they do Iam's. He's the whole package and if people cant see it then they need too take off those blinders that they have on. Go Iam Go!!

When I hear Iam's voice, I instantly get tears in my eyes. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes both. His voice is simply that of an angel. If I had to choose ONE person to sing EVERY song I hear for the rest of my life, I want it to be him. TRULY a blessing that this world doesn't deserve. You can feel the love he radiates through his voice. Hell, you can feel the love through the screen.
