We were all in a wonderful world during the duration of Iam’s performance❤️You made Braddah Iz proud toko!! You made us here in Hawai’i proud❤️ You making all of our Polynesian culture proud!!❤️
I love how genuine your reaction is. And i 💯 agree with the stroking of the ego comment. He is a humble kid with a tremendous gift, and he won't forget his humble beginnings. Team Iam Tongi
Love your reactions & your honest comments..i can agree to the concern that too much stroking his ego might go to his head. Hopefully Iam stays true to himself & just brings out the joyous vibes w/his voice! Mahalo u 2...you are a delight to watch! Love you Iam! ❤❤
Awwww John you touched my heart wiping your tear away. Iam's voice is so soothing and wonderful that it captures the heart of many. He makes us FEEL him when he is singing.
It showed that Iam was nervous doing this song because of how amazing Iz's rendition is and how big it is in Iam's culture because of it. But I'm so glad he did pick it. I LOVE More than Words and I really want to hear Iam do it, but he needed to step into that spot of light that Iz is shining on him and begin to move out of his shadow and into his own spotlight. He needs to be his own, but he also wants to bring that part of him with him that is the same part that made Iz so unique.
You ,asked about the comments, he was to afraid to sing a song from his Island, but he slammed it, as I said all along, he sounds like Iz, but I am just a follower on his journey. But the other contestants aren't afraid of copying a singer rendition. You asked about a song, how about Sea of Love ❤️ from the 50's ? 😊
He doesn't need to worry about doing it "as well" as IZ. He doesn't need to try and be the next IZ, he needs to be the first Iam, and he's doing that pretty darn well. I'll lose my sh*t if he channels IZ again and does Over the Rainbow.
I honestly love you both. Your reactions are just awesome. Thank you for being yourselves. This was a great reaction to Iam Tongi. One love from Australia
Wrong, Iam! You made the whole Kamakawiwo'ole 'ohana & Hawaiʻi nei proud! Keep your head up high son! I guarantee my cousin was singing with you on stage.
He totally reminded me of Bradda IZ from his Audition, there is no kid from Hawaii who can sing like IAM that could do no harm to this song. CHEEEWHOOO!
Tongi,❤you have torn down my walls that have been using for years to protect me from being hurt again, I understand and I am protective of every little step I have made, I am more than overjoyed to your helping me ❤ I am a throwaway person, no one loves me,and no one wants me,but your music makes feel that I can get up and be strong and weather the ”storms ahead " so I truly tell ty and bless you .❤
Iam Tongi's Audition Is The Most-Viewed Of 2023 Season Tongi's audition has been viewed more than two hundred thousand times on Idol's RUclips and more than 100 million across all of social media.
We love iam,and support him 💯 iam will be iam,his Dad 🙏 spent hours vocalizing with his amazing your man with his God given vocals,talents, Dad knew his son was destined to achieve his dream and mom Lillie, And family support, we thank you for signing your awesome talented young man onto American Idol to share his gift with the world, with all our hearts, thank you 🙏 🎵 Amazing💙
Thanks you guys! I have nothing to say but thanks for support him in your channel. and amazing feedback powerful words to more encourage him never give up his dream.He is on his way even he will not make it to the top another word winner but already a 🌟 Thank you so much for the support ❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔🌟
I hope that ABC airs Iam singing More than Words for Katy. There's a Hawaiian version that I'm absolutely sure Iam would knock out of the park as well.
Itʻs funny how people in the Islands automatically think of Israel Kamakawiwoʻoleʻs iconic rendition, while people not from the Islands think of Louis Armstrongʻs even older and original classic song, and a lot of people are not even aware of the other version. I understand Iamʻs hesitancy to take on Bruddah IZʻs song because so many comparisons are made between them, but I guess itʻs still a good way to share music from Hawaiʻi and classic popular songs that Iam grew up with.

IAM Is Wearing A Aloha Shirt, In Hawaii It’s Called Aloha Shirt It’s Not Called Hawaiian Shirt In Hawaii Ever ! Aloha Shirt ! Mahalo For The Awesome Video ! ❤
"What a wonderful world" is slower than "More than Words". Katy is right that he should still perform MORE THAN WORDS bc that is top 20 best songs of all time especially with those lyrics. I wish he performed that and stuck to his guns and social media is saying the same thing.. However, he nailedt this as usual and it was special, SPECIAL, special like he is.
Fast to react...Yayyyy!! Iam did a Great job combining Louis Armstrong version and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version and creating The Iam version! I love your guys' reaction! Go Iam❤️👍🤙
Izzy the best. But let me introduce you to a Korean vocalist named “ Kim Jin Ho” performing “ family portrait” incredibly impactful and when the camera panned into the audience, there wasn’t a dry eye! And this guys voice with its subtle nuances and celestial qualities will have you hooked from beginning to end. How he despised his mom in the beginning but loved her in the end-knowing she sacrificed everything so he could have a better life. I predict this song and vocalist will become one of you all-time favorites. I’ve watched it several times and each time it impacted me to my core. Everyone I’ve recommended this to, said they spent far to much on Kleenex. Please RUclips the live immortal songs one ( KBC K pop). And so far it’s received over 47 MILLION views!!!!!! You will thank me. He joins Dimash as one of my top 5 male vocalists still performing. Al l love from Miami Beach , Florida, Al
.✨💖✨ Aloha. Enjoy your React videos! I’d like to Add that towards the end of Bruddah IZ’s “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” video, where Friends and Family are gathering in Canoes, Surfboards and Beautiful Leis in the ocean… They are Scattering IZ’s Ashes in the waters of Makaha Beach where IZ Loved So Dearly and spent most of life there. His ashes are in a large Koa bowl. Keep up your Awesome videos! And Hopefully you will come Home from Hawaii’s 9th Island. (Las Vegas) Hawaii has 8 islands Mahalo, Craig 😊💕🤙
"Satiated with Iam"? Or did you intend to say "Infatuated with Iam"? (I don't think that I'll ever be satiated with Iam's performances. I'll always hunger for more.)
I think that he is so over rated...He is a good performer but not extraordinarily so...For me it's all hype because it seems that some people are pushing for him to win. Generally,people often go for the underdog.
It's a wonderful world (if you vote for Tongi!)

Yes! Brother IZ immortalized that song. Iam did it honor though. What a great performance! #Aloha #Hawaii❣
True dat!

Mahalo u 2...you are a delight to watch!
Love you Iam! ❤❤
We don't think iam will go along with any of that, we think iam was raised in a house full of love, and we feel that love and heart ❤️
Lionel did tell IAM at the beginning of this journey…He will fracture souls…and how he has!
He did good!!! Making us so proud!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
I dont know how many times I watch all his songs over and overrrrr again 👌❤️
Especially in your pot cast

I completely agree!

We think iam should be iam 💙 🎵 and IAM is IAM and we just love him 💙
You both do a great job of reacting to Iam's music. You're fun to watch and always nail it.
The world needs a voice and person like bruddah IAM as he is the new amd different this generations IZ
He doesn't need to worry about doing it "as well" as IZ. He doesn't need to try and be the next IZ, he needs to be the first Iam, and he's doing that pretty darn well. I'll lose my sh*t if he channels IZ again and does Over the Rainbow.
Same
Saving it for the finale baby!
Agree

You made the whole Kamakawiwo'ole 'ohana & Hawaiʻi nei proud!
Keep your head up high son!
I guarantee my cousin was singing with you on stage.
He went from traditional to braddah iz then back to traditional, it was amazing and I'm glad he thru that in there.
Agree, iam is iam, and he's absolutely amazing and sharing that amazing talent with the world
The spirit of IZ is in Iam.
hes such an amazing singer....wow
His voice is so soothing ❤🎉
He totally reminded me of Bradda IZ from his Audition, there is no kid from Hawaii who can sing like IAM that could do no harm to this song. CHEEEWHOOO!
Silky smooth, no stress!! I could listen to him all day.
Finally! I been waiting for your reviews 🎉
You been waiting? We can't get it out any faster 😝 Tongi FTW!
Wonderful tribute to Bruddah Iz 🤙🏽
I'll lose it if Iam channels IZ and does Over the Rainbow.
@@mander40101 That's what I'm saying!

IAM IS SO HUMBLE ❤
I hope that ABC airs Iam singing More than Words for Katy. There's a Hawaiian version that I'm absolutely sure Iam would knock out of the park as well.
IAM is already a winner in our books. This young star is a godsend angel. Rendition by IZ is timeless. He’s rocking a nice Aloha shirt. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Itʻs funny how people in the Islands automatically think of Israel Kamakawiwoʻoleʻs iconic rendition, while people not from the Islands think of Louis Armstrongʻs even older and original classic song, and a lot of people are not even aware of the other version.

So true!
Love your reactions. I always tear up! Iam is phenomenal …. Exactly. We need Ian’s calm, sweet spirit… and he touches us soul to soul. Go Iam!!!
Thank you for posting those two songs @Jody Y
Iam should be Iam! And he is doing just wonderful, no negativity please
6:43 “I know your being critical following…” Luke was thinking of saying Israel Kamakawiwo’ole but he said nah Im not even gonna try 😂😂
So funny, I noticed that too!
Exactly what I was thinking too 😂 I admit, if you not from the 808 or Hawaiian, it’s not easy to say like most of our street/City names lol
@@Mahealani-vw1tu yup just like how Jo Koy said it. Don’t ask a local for directions 😂🤣
Well done! Equally very good as IZ rendition. I feel the Hawaiian vibes. Very tropical!!!
This dude makes me feel bad for all the people who are deaf that never get to hear and feel music from people like him.
Iam, don't worry about Armstrong and Iz...you did very well your own distinctive styles as always.
IZ would be proud .
It's a Wonderful World with Iam in it👍👌❤❤❤
Cette chanson et merveilleuse et il a chante avec le cœur et c est magnifique ❤❤ bravo Tongy 👏👏
🎉way to go brah. Keep up the great work! Mahalo
Love you guys ❤
I think he was afraid to not do what a wonderful world justice but also, maybe he doesn’t want to be Brahdah IZ. He wants to be Iam.
Absolutely
Love this couple… 👌❤️ love watching your pot-cast to :-) 👌❤️
IAM Is Wearing A Aloha Shirt, In Hawaii It’s Called Aloha Shirt It’s Not Called Hawaiian Shirt In Hawaii Ever ! Aloha Shirt ! Mahalo For The Awesome Video ! ❤

Aloha shirt
Your right. Judges need to be a little careful. We love Iam!!!!
❤ loved it
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤loved it
BTW, in Hawaii we call them Aloha shirts, not Hawaiian shirts. 🤙
I’m actually hoping he does over the rainbow like IZ
Damn, Iam's voice is out of this world. But yeah, Lulu's nips are wonderful too.
.✨💖✨ Aloha.
Enjoy your React videos!
I’d like to Add that towards the end of Bruddah IZ’s “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” video, where Friends and Family are gathering in Canoes, Surfboards and Beautiful Leis in the ocean…
They are Scattering IZ’s Ashes in the waters of Makaha Beach where IZ Loved So Dearly and spent most of life there.
His ashes are in a large Koa bowl.
Keep up your Awesome videos!
And Hopefully you will come Home from Hawaii’s 9th Island. (Las Vegas)
Hawaii has 8 islands
Mahalo,
Craig
😊💕🤙
You two are beautiful 🙂 But yes, that was awesome.
When the judges all agree he alredy won mic🎤drop
His wearing A Aloha Shirt !
It’s called Aloha Shirt
Classic .
Meet Jack Black is a great love story that will make you cry.
IAM for the win ❤
Yes over da rainbow please
Nailed it🤙!!
❤
You need to watch the movie Meet Jack Black. Iz song is in there and what a great movie it was. Must see
He will stay humble. He doesn’t talk do much
Clueless is so appealing.
"Satiated with Iam"? Or did you intend to say "Infatuated with Iam"?
(I don't think that I'll ever be satiated with Iam's performances. I'll always hunger for more.)
How's only fans
I think that he is so over rated...He is a good performer but not extraordinarily so...For me it's all hype because it seems that some people are pushing for him to win. Generally,people often go for the underdog.
Iam is extraordinary!! You underestimate him but millions of people all over the world agrees he’s a big deal.😳
❤
