Which one was your favorite Iam song? Hey friend :) If you liked this, you'll LOVE these moset VIRAL auditions ever 👉HERE: th-cam.com/video/Mabm75iymGg/w-d-xo.html
Ich könnte diesen jungen Sänger stundenlang zuhören. Einmalig!!Tausend und mehr Dank.Ich liebe ihn jetzt schon.Diese Stimme sagenhaft!!Er hat mein Herz erobert .WEITER SO. !!
To be honest, is quite difficult to choose one song, because this guy is so good, and because I chained memories to some songs. But, for the lyrics I would choose the first one “Monsters way” ? Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to know him.
I'm pushing 50 yrs old and listen to all genres of music... I've never been a fan of folks covering original artists songs but this young man has something special deep inside that grabs my heart and warms it like a double shot of corn liquor..... Right on is all I can say, that and I'd like to thank his parents for giving the world this treasure of a person ❤
I feel the same . I am older and Queen is my ultimate favorite. Sacred. Now this young man comes along with songs that sound like gentle waves lapping on the side of a dock and I am enameled by the sound of them. Yes he is a big man. He is Tongan and proud of it. And inside that young Tongan man beats a heart as big that young man singing next to him. They don’t make men like that anymore. Cindy
Su voz arrulla y a la vez atrapa el corazón como un redomado romántico que como él, canta sus canciones y deja el corazón en cada nota y cada melodía. Qué belleza de voz!
@CreamintheCoffeewish u the best im only 24 almost 25 but regardless wish u the best and i hope u nothing but the best my fathers 56 so ik (well i guess i dont) how hard it is to keep going forwqrd for your family so again i wish u and your family nothing but blessings from one strager to another i love you and wish you the best my friend 🖤 Edit the same goes for you @hillybilly
the James Blunt duet hits just as hard as the first time, love that James helped him along the way to let him recover. Both just put soo much emotion into their singing and I am here for it
@jamess.931 such a good man to help him through that song knowing what it meant to him because he lost his dad. I didn’t think after him singing that song for his audition that it could’ve gotten anymore raw and heartbreaking but damn was I wrong. That duet was incredible.
@@quickdeuceabsolutely. It was beautifully heartbreaking. I lost it all over again when I saw Jellyroll comforting his mama in the crowd. I’ve never seen a more deserving winner on this show in all the years it’s been on. I love how he put his own spin on the songs he did. I found myself excited to see what he was going to sing next. I loved his spin on Lionel’s “Stuck on You”. Can’t wait to see what Iam does in the future!
I honestly think, That song being James Blunts song, he felt just as much raw emotion as Iam did. Iams emotions probably brought James back to the first time he wrote or sang that song.
James blunts ode to his father are some of the truly … most Heart felt lyrics written…. This young man’s recent loss of his own father, his grief, his talent did justice to the meaning this song has for every son when thinking of ‘dad’
Iam Tongi brought this metal head to tears. That audition was some of the most moving music I have ever heard in my life. This man has a gift, and he deserves every single molecule of success.
@@Wolverine.848yeah....fat people have many talents... makes me sick when people have to judge us fatties and assume we can't do anything or have any talent just because the visual doesn't appeal to you.
He didn't need idols.....This is an artist that the world deserves to hear. An angel and a rare talent......May his dad's soul rest in peace. What a talent!
Am a man of 40yrs, that rendition of monsters brought me back to 15 yrs old when I lost my pops, going back, wishing I had that chance to say my proper goodbyes. Thank you for putting that fatherly love front and center... God bless you bro.
I’m so sorry you couldn’t get that time back. This guy alone helped me push through the rough patches my dad and I had. No matter the past, when he passes I’ll be absolutely broken. Thankfully I can say we’re better than ever. I have this special guy to thank for that. May your father rest in peace
I can't believe I just watched this whole thing. I couldn't turn it off. His voice is so beautiful. Just puts you in another world. He's surely blessed.
James Blunt was amazing, singing that beautiful and deeply personal song and still offering comfort whilst emoting his own experience, just stunning! What a legend! ♥️
We love Iam choosing this song, Iam opened this old song and made this rendition of unbelievable beauty and heart and love, thank you Iam, we purchased your amazing song of love to your Father 🙏 you made this song an Iam Tongi legend!! 🎶⭐️
As a truck driver I never to watch tv because i am in bed to early . So it was a true gift to come.across this young men who is truly a gift.of a human being. That James Blunt duet broke me up inside . Wishing him all the success he deserves.
@@theskyisfallingtom I'm sorry he never told, but I don't remember my dad telling me either. It was like you just knew it. I know someone who loves us and his name is Jesus. ❤😊 😂❤❤
My dad shot himself when i was almost 2 years old now im 21 and still think about him alot and get emotional bout alot of songs. So i understand ur pain bro❤
I’m not poly (I’m indigenous Australian) but my best friend is and he recently passed away (moved here when he was younger and would switch back n forth, I had a trip booked to visit him in 2 months💔), sitting round a fold up table in the garage w all the uncles n cousins singing at night is one of the most beautiful n loving experiences in the world. I miss singing every morning with him, every afternoon and then every night on the phone when we got home :’) I’m so proud seeing more poly people being shown with the music that brings us all life, it’s in yalls blood n souls n I’m so glad to see more of it in mainstream media🙏
This young man is the best I've ever heard. Since A.I.winner I haven't stopped listening to him. Over and over and over. God did a fantastic job on this voice. God blessed him. I'm 73 and still have great taste when it comes to voices. The young man is a blessing.
It really doesn't matter the "minutes nor time" nor who's right. This is ALL beautiful that "time" really took us into a quiet mellow,, so to speak,, into a mellow loving peaceful heaven his voice brings into our mind heart and soul in which at same time,, fills the void we all need from within. His voice does what no other singer can nor will- bring. He is singing with a pure gentle loving caring yet hurtful heart. Bless this young man- always. ❤
Omg - I started out crying my eyes out to the first song... And then I couldn't stop listening. This incredible voice gave me this feeling of hope, because this young man has so much love and passion in him and it shines through in every song and with that smooth like velvet voice. Just wow!! ❤
I am crying with tears down my face. It has been almost 20 years since my father passed away and I still miss him. His voice is beautiful. I really liked how James Blunt touched his shoulder to make him feel better. It is hard to lose friends / family etc, but time does help, but it never removes the loss. I guess I will see my Dad once I move on from this world. I hope.
Stay close to the Lord ( Or get close to Him if you aren’t-), and He will open your way to spend an eternity there on the other side!! I, too, cannot wait to join my parents again, sitting around our table there, talking and laughing, and singing, and worshipping the Lord together again! It’s real- you can count on it!! ❤🎉😊 No more tears - no more monsters to chase away- forever!!
I blubbered like a baby the first time I heard him singing Sound of Silence. Love my dad and can’t imagine him leaving too soon. Iam sings from the heart and is what the world needs
I sat here crying through the whole song with Iam singing with James blunt . This is the most heart jerking I've felt from one artist, amazing voice . Favorite artist
I lost both of my parents when I was in college to cancer. That was years ago, and I am just now getting my life together. I will pray for you and yours, but I know that you will be okay.
As a father I'm only crying like a baby ....big up to you brother and your sweet daddy is so proud of you. You are the son every father wishes for ! I love my son and now I love him more so thank you dear boy !
The fact he wiped his face, found his center, released some tension and gave us ALL a performance such as this is beyond the words I've left here today.
Music is the most beautiful gift for humanity. No matter what you are going through, music improves it and inspires us to be humble and thankful for life. THANK YOU for Sharing. IAM TONGI is the rebirth of a great Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.
His mom's face every single performance, is definitely a proud look. Realizing her baby boy is going to be remembered and loved by anyone who hears his song.
Who else, is bawling their eyes out with me??? Iam is absolutely movingly beautiful. Thank you!!! I see you Jelly Roll good for you showing up for the big man, you're just as amazing, great fit!!!!
Iom, I'm Native American Shoshone-Paiute tribes n I'm so very proud of u n it's so beautiful n heartwarming to dedicate every performance to ur dad. Family is so important to all Indigenous ppl n so many of us has lost our parents n siblings at such young ages. I lost my parents n 4 bros by the time I was 25, I was left alone until God saved me. It was heartbreaking to watch my bros grow up without our dad, he was around, but was absent. He was drafted into the Marines in 56 at 17 n was so broken when he returned home. They were ordered to do unimaginable things, taking lives. He became an alcoholic for the rest of his life, we watched him suffer for yrs. I hated that his suffering wasn't ended until 92. It broke my heart when he asked me where my bros were n when I tld him they were all gone, he couldn't remember n it hit him hard. We lost my bros in 80 to 88. Even tho he was an alcoholic, we helped take care of him, respected n loved him. Always be grateful for the time that u were blessed to have had with ur dad, he'll be right beside u always. Ur blessed n gifted with such an amazing n gorgeous voice. Please, always let our loving God guide n lead u, if u sense any kind of danger in ur life, follow God's direction away from it. U make all of us Indigenous ppl very proud❤ God blesses u n ur family❤
Bless him 😢 3:58 nearly broke me, I felt the hopelessness of searching for someone to heal the pain. I only found this man recently through YT because I don't care for television but I only pray things that are good and gracious for all the days of his life. He's made me proud and I do not understand the feeling but I'm here for it 🤧🙏🏽
Judges definitely got this young man right as the winner of 2023. This kid is absolutely fantastic and extremely heartwarming story!!! God bless him and his family!!! ✨️🙏✨️🫶❤️🫶
This song always makes me cry. Beautiful and a very deep song.
ปีที่แล้ว +39
Got me chills and emotional from the first word he sang and his first chord. Simply amazingly talented. I will definitely follow his career. What a voice, what a talent! What a man!
Só pra quem não sabe galera, ele perdeu o pai tipo a umas 2 semanas antes da sua primeira apresentação, então cantou a música "monsters" como homenagem ao seu pai q foi sua grande inspiração..
Ive never known anyone more deserving of this. Brought tears to me. 😢 never stop Iam!!! Nothing but pure talent. No effects but reverb and some eq and compression.
His voice is a liquid gold. and it penetrates ones heart. Can feel the message of his songs entering my heart. I simply love it. Just watch this vid 3x in a row. can watch him all night
Every 🎵 Iam sang was so powerful and made everyone fall in love with our island 🏝 young man! We're so proud of him! I've watched every single song he sang over and over! Katy was right, welcome to paradise Iam! You've earned it! Sharing our island culture and spreading it all over the world! Much love and Aloha Iam!
I love all kinds of music. It's got me through all the hard, sad, lonely times in my life. Music is magical and healing for all!! I have never been to a concert in my whole life but if I were lucky enough to get to see one it would definitely be you. You are so special young man and Rodney is soooo proud of you. He's always watching over you. Bless you
I love this song because it gives me a nostalgic feeling, and it brings back old memories of my late wife. It was her favourite song but I lost her to cancer in 2020.
James Thank you so much for taking the time to send this to me! I will be forever grateful! I am so sorry for your loss! I hope listening to all of Iams songs with his healing voice will help you heal. God bless you! Thanks again!!!
@@valeriebubach682 Thank you for the kind words, i really do appreciate it. I have found comfort listening to his songs, throughout the years although it is not easy to loose a loved one but his songs have helped me a lot. I hope you are doing great? hope to hear from you soon. cheers!
Ich hab es in meinen 40 Jahren noch nie gehabt wenn jemand sing solche Emotionen bei mir auszulösen ,er hat soviel Gefühl in seiner stimme und seine Leidenschaft für die Musik und er gibt es 1 zu1 an die Hörer weiter. Ganz große klasse.
Iam has the rare talent to mend broken relationships, to heal broken souls, to lift up those who have fallen furthest. Let's support this young man as much as we can. I assure you his messages will spread joy and love to so many of those in need. He is without greed, a rarity these days but such a special example for us to follow. Thank you for gifting us with your son, Iam!
Best verstion of sound of silence I have ever heard, Iam's versatility and soulish tenor voice along with masterful guitar playing and a pure heart makes every song he sings magical
I’m absolutely in awe with this young man’s talent! I could watch and listen to him all day and night! I don’t know why his voice is not on the radio and music apps everywhere! His voice is mesmerizing! He is a superstar!! Sending you much love young man!! ❤🎉👏✅💯❤️😎🥰
Thats incredible! Congratulations 🙂 I hope you learn to give yourself a little more credit though! You're beating your addition because of the strength INSIDE of yourself! You are an immensely powerful person and I have so much respect and admiration for you! I'm almost 2 months in, since I quit drinking and It's so awesome to hear how well you've been doing for over a year now! Thanks for the motivation! Keep it up, stay strong, and remember you can do anything! Be proud of YOURSELF :) take care!
When I was a young child i slipped, whilst walkin down the road. I fell to my knees and scraped them up bad enough to leave a lasting scar. At that moment I held back tears, remembering my father and older brothers words, to always be strong. I just cried for the first time since then. I didn't even know the weight I was carrying so long.
I know this is about a father but I never knew mine. This song reminds me of my mother. This year will be 8 years since she left this world. I miss her everyday.
Same for me; however, I did know my “always absent”. So it was my mom who was always there. I lost her in 1995 at 64 years old and it feels like she just died this minute.
As a performer, it really hits different when you relate to the song you sang. The emotion that you were able to convey to alot of people watching you sing is just different. You literally deserve the win.
wow, they both harmonize perfectly together. It's not even the song or the lyrics that made me cry but this emotion that both boys bring up and how they feel it.
I have never cried over a song as much as when he sang about his father. In general, there is a feeling that no matter what he sings, the music will take on a deeper meaning
Which one was your favorite Iam song?

One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard on idol!

better music is crazy, there's some great metal bands like Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult@@PlanetEarth3141

Same. Same anytime he opens his mouth to sing..
His mom's face every single performance, is definitely a proud look. Realizing her baby boy is going to be remembered and loved by anyone who hears his song.
Jelly roll was there comforting her too
James is an absolute sweetheart! Helping this gentleman through the song!
Carried him through it basically
As soon as I heard his very first audition I knew he had already won the show. That's an angel of music right there!!
63 years old.. and I am BLOWN AWAY... Never have I wanted to buy an A-Idol album... and I cannot wait for this.
Wow...
Who else, is bawling their eyes out with me??? Iam is absolutely movingly beautiful. Thank you!!! I see you Jelly Roll good for you showing up for the big man, you're just as amazing, great fit!!!!
It is only because of that lump in my throat .........What else could it be.?
Tears are rolling down my face as I listen to this music!!
I am ugly crying. Very beautiful song.
I've never heard that song but it is freaking awesome.
I am amazed
Iom, I'm Native American Shoshone-Paiute tribes n I'm so very proud of u n it's so beautiful n heartwarming to dedicate every performance to ur dad. Family is so important to all Indigenous ppl n so many of us has lost our parents n siblings at such young ages. I lost my parents n 4 bros by the time I was 25, I was left alone until God saved me. It was heartbreaking to watch my bros grow up without our dad, he was around, but was absent. He was drafted into the Marines in 56 at 17 n was so broken when he returned home. They were ordered to do unimaginable things, taking lives. He became an alcoholic for the rest of his life, we watched him suffer for yrs. I hated that his suffering wasn't ended until 92. It broke my heart when he asked me where my bros were n when I tld him they were all gone, he couldn't remember n it hit him hard. We lost my bros in 80 to 88. Even tho he was an alcoholic, we helped take care of him, respected n loved him.
Always be grateful for the time that u were blessed to have had with ur dad, he'll be right beside u always.
Ur blessed n gifted with such an amazing n gorgeous voice. Please, always let our loving God guide n lead u, if u sense any kind of danger in ur life, follow God's direction away from it. U make all of us Indigenous ppl very proud❤
God blesses u n ur family❤
He reminds me of another Hawaiian who died much too soon. Hope this young man take care of his health. Such a beautiful voice
i think we all know who you are talking about :(
Ize
THE GREAT IZ!
It's almost as if he's a reincarnation of him.
We miss iz
Bless him 😢 3:58 nearly broke me, I felt the hopelessness of searching for someone to heal the pain. I only found this man recently through YT because I don't care for television but I only pray things that are good and gracious for all the days of his life. He's made me proud and I do not understand the feeling but I'm here for it 🤧🙏🏽
Judges definitely got this young man right as the winner of 2023. This kid is absolutely fantastic and extremely heartwarming story!!! God bless him and his family!!! ✨️🙏✨️🫶❤️🫶
This song always makes me cry. Beautiful and a very deep song.
Got me chills and emotional from the first word he sang and his first chord. Simply amazingly talented. I will definitely follow his career. What a voice, what a talent! What a man!
I'm a 60 year old man in tears, this young man has evoked so many emotions in me, thank you and all the best in everything you do Iam 🙏❤
❤
I'm 57 and feel the same
His voice is so strong to be that young and being able to control his runs like that is amazing
what an incredible and beautiful voice, a dream for the music world
He reminds me a lot of the Hawaiian Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
These two are amazing 😃👍
I thought the exact same thing.
Right
Exactly what I thought. Braddah IZ
same here Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was a gentle giant with an amazing voice rip!!
Yes absolutely!!!
Só pra quem não sabe galera, ele perdeu o pai tipo a umas 2 semanas antes da sua primeira apresentação, então cantou a música "monsters" como homenagem ao seu pai q foi sua grande inspiração..
BRABO DEMAIS obrigado pela explicação

His voice is a liquid gold. and it penetrates ones heart. Can feel the message of his songs entering my heart. I simply love it. Just watch this vid 3x in a row. can watch him all night

His voice is therapy..

it's just not a simple song, it's the way he is singing the song, wow.
Watching now in 2024. Iam Tongi conveys true emotion when he sings. I became a fan right away!
I came here by accident and this is amazing. I hope he will bring out an album someday. 🤩
Every 🎵 Iam sang was so powerful and made everyone fall in love with our island 🏝 young man! We're so proud of him! I've watched every single song he sang over and over! Katy was right, welcome to paradise Iam! You've earned it! Sharing our island culture and spreading it all over the world! Much love and Aloha Iam!
Richie is so proud of him, he’s shining while watching him singing
I love all kinds of music. It's got me through all the hard, sad, lonely times in my life. Music is magical and healing for all!! I have never been to a concert in my whole life but if I were lucky enough to get to see one it would definitely be you. You are so special young man and Rodney is soooo proud of you. He's always watching over you. Bless you
I love this song because it gives me a nostalgic feeling, and it brings back old memories of my late wife. It was her favourite song but I lost her to cancer in 2020.
James Thank you so much for taking the time to send this to me! I will be forever grateful! I am so sorry for your loss! I hope listening to all of Iams songs with his healing voice will help you heal. God bless you! Thanks again!!!
@@valeriebubach682 Thank you for the kind words, i really do appreciate it. I have found comfort listening to his songs, throughout the years although it is not easy to loose a loved one but his songs have helped me a lot. I hope you are doing great? hope to hear from you soon. cheers!
Ich hab es in meinen 40 Jahren noch nie gehabt wenn jemand sing solche Emotionen bei mir auszulösen ,er hat soviel Gefühl in seiner stimme und seine Leidenschaft für die Musik und er gibt es 1 zu1 an die Hörer weiter. Ganz große klasse.
Ich stimme dir zu!
der kerl ist gold
Totally agree ❤.
Iam has the rare talent to mend broken relationships, to heal broken souls, to lift up those who have fallen furthest. Let's support this young man as much as we can. I assure you his messages will spread joy and love to so many of those in need. He is without greed, a rarity these days but such a special example for us to follow. Thank you for gifting us with your son, Iam!
Best verstion of sound of silence I have ever heard, Iam's versatility and soulish tenor voice along with masterful guitar playing and a pure heart makes every song he sings magical

Thats incredible! Congratulations 🙂
I hope you learn to give yourself a little more credit though! You're beating your addition because of the strength INSIDE of yourself! You are an immensely powerful person and I have so much respect and admiration for you! I'm almost 2 months in, since I quit drinking and It's so awesome to hear how well you've been doing for over a year now! Thanks for the motivation! Keep it up, stay strong, and remember you can do anything! Be proud of YOURSELF :) take care!
When I was a young child i slipped, whilst walkin down the road. I fell to my knees and scraped them up bad enough to leave a lasting scar. At that moment I held back tears, remembering my father and older brothers words, to always be strong.
I just cried for the first time since then. I didn't even know the weight I was carrying so long.
Let it out brother
Bro tongi u r d best u r God send to d world to make ur co human being happy
I know this is about a father but I never knew mine. This song reminds me of my mother. This year will be 8 years since she left this world. I miss her everyday.
Same for me; however, I did know my “always absent”. So it was my mom who was always there. I lost her in 1995 at 64 years old and it feels like she just died this minute.
I know that feeling Uso stay blessed our Mothers are always watching
keep strong..
be good and do good brooo🤝
Never get tired to hear Iam Tongi! Every song is so beautiful!
As a performer, it really hits different when you relate to the song you sang. The emotion that you were able to convey to alot of people watching you sing is just different. You literally deserve the win.
It's easy to sing a song but being able to share how you feel is on a whole new level
This
When I hear him sing, it brings tears to my eyes.😢
wow, they both harmonize perfectly together. It's not even the song or the lyrics that made me cry but this emotion that both boys bring up and how they feel it.
I have never cried over a song as much as when he sang about his father. In general, there is a feeling that no matter what he sings, the music will take on a deeper meaning
He sings with his heart! I wish all the succes and happiness for him!!!🤞
I could listen to him over and over again!❤
