    Iam is a story teller, not just your typical beautiful singer (vocal and instrumentally skilled) but he feels what he sings and he puts his soul into each and ever song.

    The only person who should be critiquing an American Idol contestant is another American Idol. Jordan knows exactly the stress and pressure and only pointed out all the good things of the current contestants.

    Jordan and Jasmine Trias are so well spoken… wonder if it’s because they moved to the mainland 😂 jk. Looks like they all have had great careers after Idol even Camile (Eli-Mac)

    • @batmanong

      perhaps they age slow and sing great cause they're filipino 🤔😉 🤙🏽
      like Journey's Arnel Pineda and Broadway/Disney's Lea Salonga to name a few

    • @franky-fr9ow
      @franky-fr9ow ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup they talk so maturely thought they'd talk pidgin like iam. But those 3 jordan, Jasmine & camille they talk so like they are older than they really are maybe cause they are mixed filipino blood.

    Hawaii priced his family out of the home ownership market and now shamelessly claims him as one of its own. Perhaps it is more relevant to celebrate that he is the first Pacific Islander to win.

      Why? He's been singing since he was a kid. Why bring such a subject and or topic that is negative. The kid just won, can't you just celebrate that or are you too concerned about what could or may not happen? 🙄
