❤❤shout out to kolohe kai!! This is the kind of music we in Hawaii grew up with!! It's an everyday thing!! Well done Iam!! We living in Hawaii with Aloha and Pride!!😊😊😊😊
I thought this was his best performance of the season. For a couple minutes he turned the show from a competition into a concert. Getting your reaction? Priceless! 🤙🏾
That song was the banger back in the day🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌I was excited to hear Iam sing Cool Down on the stage of American Idol right after they presented his homecoming .Such a perfect song choice for the finale👌🏆🏆thank you for sharing Roman. I’d like to hear you and Iam collaborate soon Aloha❤🤙🏽
So Iam Tongi turning me on to Kolohe Kai was one of my highlights watching from Germany! Great song! Mahalo…by the way I mentioned your song on my channel! …Imua 🌴
Ahh so cool to have representation for poly culture! As an Hawaiian native first time really seeing this in the mainland like that so awesome! What a strength when our Polynesian cultures come together! 💪🏼🔥🤙🏼💙
Yessah🙌🏽 the harmonizing of background singers was on 🔥🔥 Iam did an awesome job- the pidgin language, they were on point-top notch band -stoked to see this and after i heard announced cool down, i said “cool down?” Look back up at the screen “kolohe kai!!” Called my daughter out the room cause Kolohe Kai is her favorite and we just totally soaked up this energy an excitement to be seeing this on national tv.., awesome job Iam and Kolohe Kai cool down was a perfect choice🤙🏽 way to represent Hawaii and give a little showcase of Island Vibes/Poly music 🫶🏽🫶🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I can tell the band and singers really enjoyed singing & playing this music too🎊
I am happy IAM Tongi introduced us with your channel. We enjoyed hearing you sing your song. I do not live near beaches but your song has heart warming and relaxing vibe. We are a ragea fan so it sinks right away.
It's pretty awesome how being a contestant on Idol Iam can get so much exposure and popularity for a couple songs in mainland US. Monsters being known obviously in Europe because the artist is in UK but lots of people had never heard that song before Iam sung it. I never even heard of James Blunt until then. He is the brother of Emily Blount. Didn't know that before either. He changed the spelling of his last name. Iam also sang Cool Down on the show giving the song so much more exposure to those of us that have never heard of that great song as well.
I was stoked when braddah Iam chose that song to perform on a worldwide venue. I got up and started jamming too and I was just super happy. Everybody on stage looked like they were enjoying themselves too and Iam just has great stage presence that sets himself apart from the other contenders. Yessah!
yo thats pretty fcken kool!! honestly about time kolohe kai music gets recognized and performed in front of thousands! well done sir. also wife and I gna be seeing the whole gang Holo holo music fest!!
I have been listening to both Iam's cover and the original ever since he performed it. I never would have found it on my own, and I am so glad I know it now. Quickly becoming one of my favorite songs
Ayeee he saved the best for last!!! And he killed it 🔥🔥 this is beyond the VOTES...every one of his performances got the judges out their seats 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 now THAT says everything 💯 Congrats to Iam and also Congrats to Kolohe Kai & SpawnBreezie ~ take a bow gentlemen ✊🏼
Hawaii, we all need to strap in and buckle up cuz Kolohe Kai & Iam Tongi is going to take us on a world-wide trip with "Cool Down"! Much Alofa & Aloha to these two gifted talent! It takes a village to build original talent!
Fakaue lahi mahaki/thank-you Iam for showcasing our Poly beats to the world and literally singing on our behalf’s. I love this song 😍, cheering from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿
