Never ever a singer has made me sob like IAM does!It’s not that I feel sorry for him but he sings from the soul and that is powerful.❤️ from Oakey,Australia.
Congratulations Iam Tongi and the Tongi family and community. America loves you Iam, thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us all. It's kind of sad that AI is over but you have fans who will follow you, god bless you on your journey. Ofa atu ❤
Not Hawaiian, but as another Pacific Islander (CHamoru from the island of Guam-Micronesia region)… we wanna CONGRATULATE, che’lu (brother) Iam, his families, & his home state of Hawai’i on becoming our newest AI.

Congratulations from Cambodia! I lived in Hawai'i for 9 years mostly on the Waianae side, but Kahuku, Hauula has a place in my heart too. I stayed at the beach there some of the time when I was homeless and visited again after I published bilingual Hawaii-English books. Wonderful place and so nice to see this celebration.
