    He truly is an original. Always moving the judges with pure emotion, crying, on the somber songs then seeing them smile and dance with that Hawaiian vibe when performing island reggae. They always stood up after every performance. His competitors couldn’t take their eyes off of him & were in complete awe of his performances. Not only that, but every single time he performed, he got the audience dancing, screaming and cheering him on every other verse. He is an incredible storyteller. Every song he sings is pure, heartfelt and magical. He is unmatched. So charismatic with Aloha spirit and so talented. There is no one like him. He puts a smile on everyone’s face, he draws a crowd now wherever he goes and not 1 person has said anything negative about him. His parents did so well in raising him and you could feel the love he has for his parents. His dad would be so proud. I would pay to see him perform, buy his whole album and play it on repeat all day and night. He makes you forget your troubles and brings peace to everyone’s heart. God bless you and your family Iam, you deserve the world and infinitely more. Don’t ever change and stay as authentic as you are. I know you will be able to move back to paradise and you make everyone proud. Thank you for putting all his performances together. Great job!

    The season was bittersweet. This was the reason I fell in love with American idol the first season. It felt so real and authentic. As the years passed I lost interest due to the same winners over and over again and I never felt engaged to a certain singer. Then here comes Iam. From his first audition, I never have cried after someone had sung. Kind of like a healing of sadness over my body and it was overwhelming that I had to cry. His music has touched many souls and that’s what true artistry is. Not about Belting the highest notes you can. Amazing job Iam. Amazing job idol. I’m so sad it’s over but I’m so happy for Iam.

    His voice is filled with pain and hope, just as our lives were filled with pain these last three years and now we know hope, once again. His phrasing is superb. He never once used his singing to say - "look at me". He just told stories, many of which originated a half century before he was born. I nominate him for Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

You break through the upper limits, so brilliant voice-wise. Thank you also to the 3 judges, they are amazing, too. Can’t wait for the next season to come. GOD bless.

    Iam Tongi’s soulful singing voice cuts like a knife into the hearts of millions bringing out the humility and humanity of any person who’s deep love to a loved one who has already gone to heaven!!! My wife and I had been residing in Honolulu for over 4 decades and we have been also entwined into Hawaaiian/Reggae/Island Style music and we love it!!! We have supported Iam from his very raw and very emotional audition of James Blunt’s Monsters till the last song he sang!!! We have been listening to his songs he sang on American Idol and we don’t get tired and we are left teary eyed. My wife’s late father and late mother has been gone for so long and my late Papa and my late Mama also have already to heaven, but still, our hearts still llong for their presence in our lives. Iam Tongi’s win is a testament that our hearts still cry out for our lost love ones!!
    Kahuku, his hometown, the city and county of Honolulu and the state of Hawaii are very proud of a local kid who is now the American Idol 2023 winner!!! Congratulations, Iam!!!🤙🤙🤙😎😎😎🌈🌈🌈

Not just by his heartfelt story of losing his father recently, but the love he poors out from his heart to his vocals. Hes so young and has a longtime of great things coming his way. A HUGE congrats to him! Not just family and friends, but i know millions are very proud of him. You got this kid! ❤❤❤
