Ｈi Iam, this is my first time ever gave any feedback on any social media. First of all I want to say thank you for sharing your story n your gift to this fallen world. I am a indigenes Taiwanese (I hope you’ve heard this country), your voice have been waken up n refreshing my soul… I believe God gave you this talent and a good teacher to walk with you-your dad. Just feel like I have to let you know, every time I heard your singing, it encourages and comforts me . Also brought a lot of memories when I was in Vanuatu for a ministry trip. Honestly, it is been tough years for me, I always say to my husband I felt “defeated”… my faith was tested so hard…. But as you came out on the stage with Monsters in one random evening(Taiwan time)…. I felt the touched of God and allowed myself to let my emotion out. You have no idea how I am thankful to God for you.
Remember you can achieve whatever you want walking next to the Lord. And all your wishes can come true next to him. Don't follow the promises of this world. Blessings for you and your family.
I love the fact that you love Jesus. And use your very beautiful voice to tell the world Jesus loves them . I am so happy you won American Idol!!!!! I knew you would. So proud of you.❤🎉
Thank you, God, for blessing us with this phenomenon named Iam Tongi who spreads love, light, peace and camaraderie amongst humanity. God bless you, Iam, and may your gift continue to spread around the world during a time that is much needed. RIP to your father and all the best to your mom and family for raising you as the humble, lovable young man with a magnetic personality that pulls at our heart strings and allows one to reflect on our own experiences of losing a loved one. You help us remember that life is truly precious and how we should shut out all of the negativity, materialism and prejudice, and embrace what really matters, which is our loved ones. Your soothing melodic voice is calming and exudes love, patience and kindness. Mr. "I am", "You are" already a winner to the many who have fallen in love with you and are rooting for you from their living room every week! From an "aunty" originally from Kaneohe, Hawaii, who now lives on the mainland due to being priced out of paradise also, I'm sending warm hugs from afar. Much Aloha!!❤❤
So many of us are pulling for you during this year's American Idol. But even bigger than tha my young brother I hope that you somehow and in some way are able to understand how much of an impact you are having on us out here. You're helping people remember their loved ones who have gone before us. You're helping some of us get back to the reminder that doesn't matter what we're going through that God is so big he can carry us. You're helping people remember their past and their love for music that they have somewhere along the road lost. You're joining American Idol doesn't have to be in the process we don't have to know the outcome but I just want you to know that I desire that you had in your heart to make your dad proud is already happening. Don't stop. God is with you. So is your dad.
Iam, God bless you…I am so sorry about your dear dad. I am thankful that you know Jesus ~ you will see your dad again, in Heaven. What beautiful memories you have with him. Your dad and you are continuing to bless so many through these videos. I wish I could hug you, to let you know how you and your dad have blessed me tonight…bringing me hope, comfort, and joy through your songs. Keep up the great job and your dad’s legacy, through your beautiful voice!❤
@wtongi My goodness. Your cover of the bridge in this song was thee most beautiful thing I've ever heard. This song was performed at my dad's funeral and it makes me cry every time still. Your cover...I have no words. Not sure if you'll do this on Idol, but guaranz peeps going cry too.
Uso You Just Brought Awhole lot Of Memories Back Of Me & My Grandpa, Now I Know Why I Love Music ♥️ Miss You Papa 🙏💪 This Song Just Hits Different, May Your Journey On American Idol Be Prosperous & Happy 🤙 Love From The Usos In Waianae 92‼️ & To Your Dad Ia Maguia Lou Malaga 🙏 Much Love My Tokoua 💯

Continue the healing. Big fan from Jacksonville Florida. Much love💛

@Alenahendrix8966 I'll be praying for You. I lost my Mother on 3/30/20 one week away from Her 96 Birthday. We had Her Funeral on Her Birthday the hardest thing I ever done.🎶🎵 "He (CHRIST) will carry You through."🎵🎶 I could not have made It through without Him.
I don't define myself as a Christian; but this has been one of my favorite songs since I was a child. I'm in my forties, now. And this guy does it complete justice. First came across I AM Tongi's songs on "The Voice", or maybe it was Brittian or America's Got Talent or maybe American Idol. In any case, love your voice man. Keep doing what you do. You're a special salve to peoples' souls.
BEAUTIFUL!! Always sing for the Glory of God! He sings thru you to heal, bless and give ppl hope. When I heard your AI audition, I was blessed and moved. When I heard you sing "SOUND OF SILENCE" at HOLLYWOOD WEEK...I said to myself..."My God...this young man is going to win AMERICAN IDOL"...and you did. I'm so proud of you and I am praying that God's Will will always be done in your life.
Love Iam!!! We want him to win!!! Hubby and I watching from So Cal. It’s his voice and his beautiful heart!! So impactful. God had gifted him and is using Iam to bless others. ❤
I really need to hear that tonight I’m struggling I love depression 74th birthday coming up at the end of the month. Six-year at my husband‘s. Passing middle of next month. Too many tough emotional times right now. Thank you for that I pray that you get blessed beyond measure and let you continue to work at what you love to do the most a Thursday coming up this weekend in Canada anyway, I live far near Vancouver BC not far up from where you are. God bless and I keep praying that things will go well for you.🫶🙏🕊️🇨🇦 Keep your eyes open come on you have to make that I connection with your audience. It’s really important.
Dear Iam, once again you helped me to continue in my healing journey for all the struggles I'm encountering. I will always be grateful for your God-given voice and spirituality. God bless you always.
