First time I heard this song today at American Idol. Its so sad because our dog just died also today, and her name is "Kiki" shes 1 year and 10 months old labrador. Why Kiki? You leave us lonely, you make us so sad.. I will always play this song for you our Kiki😢❤❤❤ Thank you for the time we spend together, your family loves you.
Womp Womp😮💨
A big thank you to Iam’s parents for introducing this amazingly talented young man to the world. R.I.P. Rodney.
God is on your side ❤ He has never left your side ❤❤ your all amazing ❤ Jesus is the answer and can give you peace
Rodney died??????
@@eliluviano9844stop forcing your religion on other people
@@freestyleclipsop8508 his dad dying was the reason he did american idol (and partly why he won)
Rodney would be proud 🙏🕊😌
The chorus to this song has already been stuck in my head for days. I love it
Same❤️
For sure very catchy. Good job Iam.
Love Dancing around the living-room to this song❤
This song been in my head since he dropped the snippet on yt shorts
❤❤❤ON REPEAT❤❤❤
This young man deserves every bit of success.
Yes, he does! He is the real deal !

We all live to die. Every minute in life is precious.
no drugs, cuss words, weapons, 'flexing'.. just straight up wholesome vibes... beautiful too see nowadays
Ur gorgeous
Exactly
But he curses in real life so what’s your point
No he doesn't @@user-ob2pz5co6h
No need to bring up another genre. Theres different life experiences and more importantly levels to the art, just say your positives and move on
This is it... Folks, this is it right here.
Thank you America for getting it right. ❤
Iam is starting the wave for a new Island-Reggae-Country genre! 👏👏👏
Iam is already a legend but Maoli is been on that wave. Love what u doing tho toko keep shinning
@@steezyloh4870fr
Yes mix it up. Music is universal
Darius Rucker did it a few years ago as well with Beers and Sunshine.
His voice is so good, even Kiki wonders why
You win, best comment! I am laughing out loud.
Now I wanna know too, who's kiki? 😢😂
😂😂😂
Why, Kiki?
iam ..i am overweight all of my life and i know the struggle..but we are so much more than that...im so proud of you
This beats is my gym, cleaning & drinking song ❤🔥
You can tell a classic when it gets stuck in your head, 20 years from for no apparent reason, 'Why KiKi' is gonna pop in your head. Such a fun song. Genius double entendre.
If you don't mind please what is the double entendre?
@@aronsportel7366 there is a very popular town/city in Honolulu named Waikiki; pronounced the same as Why Kiki.
People rlly not catching that is funny af@@sallysson
@@41NewVAWE Just when I was learning to be humble ppl make me feel like I'm smarter than everyone else. J/K 😂
No singer has made me smile like this! 🥰
Heartwarming music video! Standing ovation! 👏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is what music used to sound like 10 years ago.
I hope great music makes a comeback like this :)
I CANT NOT BELIEVE IAM TONGI HAS 4.2M VIEWS IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS THAT'S IMPRESSIVE KEEP IT UP CUZ IT REALLY SOUNDS GREAT AND DON'T GIVE UP CUZ UR WORK IS AMAZING ALOHA WAU IA 'OE
This has to go to the radio station seriously!!!!!!❤❤❤
I love when young artists honor their culture. ❤❤
Except when it’s a white male and patriotism
When white people sing about school shootings 💙💙

Man why ppl always gotta ruin the good vibes, never fails ^^^
This song genuinely has such a magical charm to it, mate you're going places for SURE 🚀
Im from miami but there’s something about Hawaii, its magical peace and love to hawaii ❤️
I just watched him on American idol first time. I heard this song and I love him and I love this song. Keep giving me more
Beautiful. Everything about this video is beautiful. The scenery, the colors, the women, their dresses, the dancing, and most of all the sound of your voice. Team Iam. Team Hawaii❤️❤️❤️. Love the song. Love the rhythm of the music. Blessings my son.💕💕💕
This is a beautiful song, lovely voice and the scenic view, outfits and the colors. The entire actors, dancers and their outfits look gorgeous. Best wishes IamTongi
It’s 1am here on the east coast. Instead of sleeping, I’m singing and dancing in the living room with the the cat and dog. I think my husband is pretending to be asleep, so I don’t drag him out here too. LOVE this, Iam!!!
😂😂😂
@@Hoseoked4Life I'm paying for that today, but it was worth it. 😆

Still listening to you in Argentina, lovely song!! God bless you Iam!!
Island culture is humanity’s finest!
Recently went through his whole history on American Idol, and truly I haven't heard such a magical and touching voice in a long long while. You are an angel Iam, we love you man, and your father is proud as a man can be. Keep shining ❤️👑❤️
This song genuinely has such a magical charm to it, mate you're going places for SURE 🚀
I can't get enough of the Country Island Vibes. With love from Big Island ❤
Awesome singing Iam Tongi! 🤙
This needs to be played on country stations.
anyone else getting some Israel Kamakawiwoʻole Vibes from this kid? I remember him from American Idol and am so happy to see him doing well! Song is truly lovely and I hope you take good care of your health son! Would like you to be around long enough to melt my heart some more.
This is a perfect song for the crowd to chime in. I can already see Iam pointing the mike to the crowd for the "why kiki" parts as he sings the rest of the chorus.
Good thing we all supported him🤘🏻🥳 made him famous… and he’s way better than those current pop singers
I've been watching American Idol for as long as I can remember and I've never seen someone as talented as him.
This man here. He brought me to tears on American Idol and now look at him. PROUD OF YOU AND HAPPY FOR YOUR SUCCESS YOU’RE AWESOME!!!
Iam, I have not purchased new music in 20 years. Until yours. I generally only listen to the old music that I grew up on. But I've been cranking "Why Kiki?" on repeat all day.😃
Yessah 🤙🏾 thanks for the support ❤
I just love listening to this wonderful song and to find out that Iam is singing this amazing song on American Idol is just mind blowing in a kind way -Tana Ngakoti from New Zealand
I really hope this man loses a little weight and lives a long healthy life, the world lost IZ too soon and the world deserves as much of Iam Tongi as possible
This needs to be in a Disney movie it gives me positive vibes and it’s a song that all kids will enjoy even adults!
My dad wouldn't stop playing this song in the car !! Now I know why! it's so catchy !! Love this song!!❤❤
This young man will be remembered. His music, his personality, and his background... ideal!
This guy just makes me so happy. His personal story behind his love and passion for music and his talent is just beyond words. And he's not just some typical pop star, he brings so much more to the industry than the ordinary stuff that we see all the time!
GREAT video!!! Your personality just makes this video so special. Like Luke and Katy told you “You don’t have to work hard to go be fake.” They were 100% correct. I am so HAPPY for you! May God continue to bless you and protect you and all your loved ones. 🙏🙏 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 this song !!! ❤ 2:22🎶Why you do me like that?🎶Why you... gotta hurt me so bad?🎶Why you make me so sad?🎶🌺🏝🤙🏼🎶
The world loves this amazing guy and wishing him all the success that comes his way. He deserves it. He is amazingly talented but also worked hard to get where he is now.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
Sole use in Computers 😅
Iam definitely shows all the feeling in his songs, from the audition on American Idol we realized that he would be a great artist, good luck in this new stage
to all who read this, and all who don't...sending you infinite peace, perfect health, abundant wealth, joyous freedom, and unconditional love...
🙏🏽💚💚💚💚💚🙌🏽
Your dad is proud brother much love from the US
This dude deserves it all. Absolutely a good song.
🙏🏾❤
Love, love, love this one. I heard the music and thought "this is a fun song" then heard the lyrics & thought "this is pure Iam...but it's a catchy ballad". Great song! You have such a positive energy radiating off you while performing this one ❤
Thank you Iam for the beauty you bring to this world through your voice and your talent
Much mahalo for the word of encouragement and the gift too ❤️
I just watched the American idol and man. You made me realize how much i appreciate my father and that im gonna cry a ocean of tears after him. Thank you for being born brother, bless you and have a good life.
Congratulations ❤ loving your new song!! Love from Canada ❤️
Yessah Canada in the house 🤙🏾

It's dropped!! Woooooo . Love the song Iam. I am so excited to see how your career progresses. You're amazing. I wish you nothing but the very best.
Thank you so much!!
you got a great voice man keep it going ❤💯
Thank you so much!!
I think you're father would be extremely happy and emotional to see his son being happy to do what you are doing now, magnificent song, comment from France! 🙏👏👏
What a beautiful song. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
I'm the semi old "GET OFF MY LAWN!" who doesn't touch new music and stays listening to stuff I grew up on. For some reason YT put this in my recommendation. This kid's special and I hope he blows up and is around for a long time. Just hearing 1 song you can tell he has it. Love the reggae like chill vibe of the music.
Yes! please bring back this type of songs to the mainstream
Love it, Sounds like Hawaiian and Country music mixed
Same thing I was thinking. Great song!
I remember watching Iam with my mom and the first few notes we heard we knew he was the one. My mom never thought that he would make originals, oh how he has proved us wrong. His voice is just smooth as butter. I love his voice! ❤
Iam sounded so great at his Las Vegas concert last night and he has such a great stage presence. He can just laugh off a mistake in the performance and it will only make it more enjoyable.
I love this ! ☺️ And the fact that you involved your culture and your roots as it is part of yourself, simply beautiful ✨️
Thank you so much!!
I love that he's living his dream for his father I love that and respect him even more as a person
I love your music me and my brother are always singing this song!! We sing it in school at home and even at the night time🤙🏽🤙🏽!! Love your music may god bless you!!!!
Beautiful song and video. Everything Iam does turns to gold. So happy to see him being so successful and enjoying the journey.
Great tune and words! Enjoy hearing you sing, Iam!
Yeah, it's feeeel gooood music! Congratulations to Iam Tongi! 🤙💕👏👏👏
Iam, where did you get this shirt from?
Iam Tongi made me weep as a father with his first audition on American Idol. I am glad he is seeing success. I like this jam. Keep it up Iam.
It’s so beautiful, you’re very talented!!! I’ve been waiting for this since that first short you made, it’s truly amazing!!! This made my week
I'm glad you like it. Sorry it took so long
@@officialiamtongi There’s no need for apologies, it was worth the wait!!!
Thank you Iam for writing and singing my feelings to Kiki👀. Absolutely love it🥰
Its love and warm hugs in auditory form❤️
You are so welcome 😂🤣
@@officialiamtongi wow you replied 😊🎉you read the memo 😂 Keep producing great music brother! God bless you🙌🫶
Ahhh, something new and refreshing…Please keep them coming miss the island music.!!!!
The light will always be with this guy, you will see that I speak the truth, time will prove this. Your unmistakable voice
Love the song!!!
🙏🏾
I love it bro!!!! Super proud!!! My sister , father and myself watched you on idol. You inspired my father after losing his father....you now inspire me even more my father unexpectedly passed July 1,2023. 😭
So sorry for your loss. Hope you find healing ❤❤️🩹
Hawaii needs to adopt this, especially Waikiki. This song captures so well the mood and vibe and gaiety of that city/state. Iam is really selling the world on Hawaii and island singers. So, so proud of this young man!
my man got pied the first 22 seconds of the video😂😂
😂
Iam is like our generation of Israel Kamakawiwo’ole 😭😭 Big ups to you uso nothing but love for your music ❤️❤️❤️
Love the video!!! Had this song stuck in my head all day. Thank you Iam!! Been listening to you daily since your first audition on Idol!!
This man is the missing piece the music industry needed🙏🏽
this song is crazy good, its got the Hawaiian vibe by its structured just like an American country love song. this bruda is really talented much love
Iam does such a wonderful job of highlighting the wonderful hawaiian culture that mainland america has largely brushed to the side. As a fellow indigenous person (although of a different region), this makes me so happy
Waking up and listening to your song will help me to find motivation to get through this rainy day. Thank you from Germany. Beautiful song❤
Thanks for listening
@@officialiamtongi always... I am addicted to your voice...
I'm not an island girl but I can relate to this song because I broke a few hearts back in my day. 😄 But seriously, this is a great song. It has a catchy tune and clever lyrics. It's a song you would expect from a seasoned songwriter, not an 18 year old kid. Well done, my young friend. You've been blessed with an abundance of musical talent. I predict that "Why Kiki?" will be a big hit for you, Iam.
🙏🏾❤
It's been awhile since I've found something truly worthy of a like on RUclips. So blessed to be around to witness a talent such as this! Iam you're awesome brother!
The music video is so beautiful
I have used this on my cafeteria and everyone liked it. Keep it up
Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing ❤️
This man has a really amazing voice! No wonder why I like all his songs!
I think we need to bring you to Nigeria! Much love from Africa
Mahalo nui loa!! Such a great song! I am listening to it every day!
This is a great little jam! I do hope it's not based on a personal experience because, If it is, you deserve way better!
Dude has the best voice I've heard in such a long time. He's so involved with his community and his culture you can't help but be touched by it.
We always say they don't make music like the old days. This made me rethink that. Keep it up Iam 💯🔥
Played everywhere , Even here in Canada .
You're famous Iam Tongi , great to know that fame will not wear out in time . Just getting better farther reach.
Why is this song so good? You are a legend Iam Tongi! ❤
Beautiful song! And I love the play on words for the title!
Iam, this song really makes you "shine" like the star that you are! AMAZING!!
🙏🏾

Looking for any negative comments and after scrolling for over 1.4K comments Tokoua, not surprised that I didn’t find any! That’s what you brought to the world. You brought back light into the music industry that the world needs. No profanity, but yet slaps hard! Good on you Tokoua! Pea fekau a Manakotau ke fksiisii e haua pea alu a o kumi ha mali hehe..
