Can you guys imagine the songs he's going to write when he falls deeply in love. When his heart is crushed by her. When he has his first newborn. He gives words and sound to our hearts
While most Idol contestants are focusing on how to impress the judges and the audience (which they should be doing), Iam's voice just cuts through to show us the purity of his heart. One of those rare ones that must never be critiqued... Whenever he sings, even if its not perfect, its simply the most beautiful thing you're ever gonna hear.
I feel the same. When he was being to told to open his eyes more, I thought... dude you should be learning from HIM! He's on another level than the corporate music scene
Only a couple of times have I researched contestants. This young man! Wow! His audition to Idol had me in tears despite no relationship with my father. The song, but most importantly HIS TALENT, captured my heart. I lost my mom, whom I loved dearly. I changed the lyrics to fit my own personal experience and sobbed the entire time his beautiful voice sang. Wishing him the BEST!
You can tell he was MADE to sing, when he's got his headphone and guitar, he looks like a totally different person. Absolute confidence, I can't wait to buy his album.
Even if he doesn’t win American Idol, he will be signed up by local companies if he doesn’t sign with a mainland label. Not just that, but he also already won the hearts of the viewers.
The labels are nothing but leaches. He doesn't need them. He can make piles of money without the discusting rapers and robbers taking and taking u til there's nothing left
We seriously need to vote for this Kid he truly deserves it!! Only a few on that show write the songs They sing this kid is the meaning of a True Pure talent..🙏💓💕💯
You're absolutely correct! I grew up in Samoa and went to high school at Kahuku H.S. Everyone can sing and harmonize. It is part of the culture! We grow up singing with our parents, siblings, school, and church. Good luck to my brother Iam! Making the Polynesians proud!
Yes. It’s in our DNA - music and dance go to together so when Iam busts out the Island reggae vibes, he knows it will get us in groove. Singing is everywhere - in Tonga, go to an athletics carnival? Every single student is singing in HARMONY - you’d think you went to see a choir perform. We feel the music, hear the music, become the music.
Iam said the song is called “Time doesn’t fly” It’s a beautiful song. I lost my best friend, my mother 10 months ago. The lyrics touched me thinking about her. Sorry for your loss my dear. Your father would have been super proud of you. You are truly an amazing person and God bless you on your journey. ❤❤❤
Same here I did exactly the same after hearing him on American idol he's truly amazing and blessed with such a beautiful voice and soul I will always be a forever fan❤️
I still can't sleep,it's been one week.he will be the greatest new sensation .I'm impacted by his style and voice.i feel he should write his own songs.❤❤❤❤
I don’t know what Angels sound like singing, but I definitely feel it in my soul when he sings if I knew what an angel would sound like I would believe with all my heart and soul,He has the voice of an angel, and it doesn’t get any better than that. Good luck God bless, you will go far in life never change who you are.
Came here after your reaction to his audition. The song he sang at the end of this interview is so beautiful! He is amazing! I hope he sings it on Idol.
Aloha and Mahalo my brother. Struggles in life are real. Appreciate you and know that God has put you here for a reason. I lost my Dad when I was 2. I'm 52 now. Keep doing what you're doing bro.
He has truly impacted the world already. I always say he connects us soul to soul! We want him to win so badly. He will make use of his music so he will make the most of it. He would do America proud!! Go Iam!! @wtongi Thank you for this interview.
Iam Tongi. Your are blowing up at such a perfect time in this life. Your voice is so uplifting. You speak straight to the heart and pauses all the chaos. Thank you for being you
I really love the way his voice breaks and the melody is sustained with only the sound of his breath. Maybe it's a bad thing or maybe a good thing.. all I know is that i really like it.
If he don't make the idol It don't matter he gonna be i BIG n Australia n New Zealand and all pacific countries.. can't wait for the concerts.. Maoli, Fiji, Josh Tatofi, Spawnbreezie, Tenelle. etc...
Respect to Rodney for believing in Iam so much he spent the time teaching and he instilled in Iam an ability for me, at least, I wud never do. I sing in the car when I drive alone. 🚗 😄
This young man has stole my heart today and I have cried a lot. His music is pure and Beautiful. Be you, you voice is awesome . Sing and I will listen. Love you
His voice is so sweet and soulful, when he sings it's like he's tapped into my soul and my emotions go all gaga!! Everytime he sings, no matter what song it is, I want it to go on and on and on.. I luv thus young man and I wish him every success❤❤❤❤

LYRICS Stars in the sky, mountains in the winter Cloud in the night It feels like this when im with her and I can’t believe you are not here with me and your smile it feel like the sunrise that’s why I need you by my side and the stars, they shine in your eyes, but time doesn’t fly. It cold outside, it the break of dawn can’t make things right cause you’re already gone and I can’t believe that you’re not here with me, time stop feeling like it’s ever moving forward and your smile feels like the sunrise that’s why I need you by my side and the star they shine in your eyes❤
Let's all pray for him... he must keep that hunger. And he must keep the memory of his dad Rodney in his heart... that's what keeps him going. Best of luck
Aloha brother Iam, besutiful lyrics, melody, love it. Mahalo for shining so bright in a world thatʻs filled with darkness. Give Him the glory 🙌🏼Blessings🕊🤙🏼
I love this song he sang is it sung from anyone or is this a song he wrote? His voice is so soothing,smooth and beautiful. I'm voting all the way for you Iam Tongi
