He "drives" wright in to your soul, body and ❤️ Iam Tonghi I'm 63 you made me cry. I never heard somebody sing so beautifull and deeply touching like you do in my life!!! And you are also a beautifull loving person!! Of course you're daddy is proud!!! Maybe even angels can sing like this.....
OMG he's voice is so beautiful. Heaven heaven sent. Just raw talent. I get goosebumps just listening to him. He sings from his heart. What passion he has he has my vote
Iam, I Love you SO much. You have brought tears and smiles to so many people. You ' WILL ' be successful no matter what happens on Idol. Thank you so much and may GOD bless you, your family, and your future. Roger Crowder in Burnet, Texas
This young man is exactly what this country needs. After losing his father & promising to use that guitar in every performance, he absolutely rose to the occasion. Proud of you Iam and thank you for repping Federal Way HS the way you have. Go Eagles!
IAM... your soul says it all,when u r born with a talent like this it will continue further than u will ever know,bless u sweet boy and dont ever give up❤❤
I think everyone sees the magical connection between Iam & his daddy 🤍 I also see it from his mama’s point of view. I think having a boy of my own makes me see even grown men differently - they were and always will be someone’s baby. Well done Iam & great job mamma & dad ❤
Love this song and absolutely enjoy Iam's version. Reminds me of my childhood, listening to these easy listening classics. My heart is filled with love and joy listening to him sing any song. Iam has a God given talent and we are so blessed to experience it. Thank you Jackson for this video.
Iam’s performances have me hooked from the very first note he sings. Even better, he does it without having to resort to fancy vocal gymnastics. That’s how you know he’s an excellent storyteller. To have that gift at his age is definitely something special.
He does a very good version of this song. As mentioned, Hawaii is blessed with so many talented singers. I have heard several versions of The Sound of Silence on BGT among others since Disturbed did their version that is simply mind blowing. Even Paul Simon loved it and he never likes covers of his music.
It’s really disrespectful in my opinion. I mean to say when the performance is this good anyway. It’s like just ‘shut up and listen. You’re not that important.’
Love his voice could listen to him sing 24 7. One amazing young man
He takes your soul to a musical journey and never brings it back
I cry every time I listen to this song.
He "drives" wright in to your soul, body and ❤️ Iam Tonghi I'm 63 you made me cry.
I never heard somebody sing so beautifull and deeply touching like you do in my life!!!
And you are also a beautifull loving person!!
Of course you're daddy is proud!!!
Maybe even angels can sing like this.....
oh shit 63 and you cried???? no way man!!!
His Daddy with him and his voice and he has a voice of an angel!
I can hear him sing all day long. Its soft, sweet, bittersweet..this guy is tremendous! I want a cd of anything Iam records.
Close your eyes and listen to this voice 👌❤️
💓💓💓💓💓💓
Awww i just like him, he's not over the top, just simple and beautiful
Everytime.he sings I almost cried...full of souls...
I would be thrilled if he won! I will purchase whatever music he creates.
I think Paul would be proud! Absolutely amazing.
His voice gives me goosebumps.
OMG he's voice is so beautiful. Heaven heaven sent. Just raw talent. I get goosebumps just listening to him. He sings from his heart. What passion he has he has my vote
please record this song!! I must have it!!!!!!!! Iam, your voice......speaks to my soul!!!
Yes, want to see what he does with it in its entirety, a favorite song of mine!!!

I like how he changes the cadence in such a subtle and smooth manner, like when he says "cobbelSTONE"
Agreed. He certainly gave his own stamp on this cover.
His voice is a true comfort but yet slightly unpredictable in a beautiful way.incredible voice.
Love Iam Tongi ❤
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
He is absolutely a Mega talent. He moves your soul when he sings.❤❤
The presence of pure emotion in this young man's voice and his ability to bring forth tears is astounding!
Thanks for posting this with no interview. Beautiful song and he does such a great job with it.
This one was my favorite he sang, almost like the song waited decades for him and was made for him to sing.
One of best cover indeed. The slight reggae and a bit of Rnb, oh 👏
Simply beautiful! Mahalo, Iam- you rock!!
Hauntingly Beautiful! Proud of You TokoUso!
Malo toko 🙏
What a touching rendition. His voice is magnificent and so, so touching. What a special young man. ❤
This young man is exactly what this country needs. After losing his father & promising to use that guitar in every performance, he absolutely rose to the occasion. Proud of you Iam and thank you for repping Federal Way HS the way you have. Go Eagles!
He won me totally over on this performance!
This just proves my statement. You don't Hear the Emotion in his voice You FEEL IT.
IAM... your soul says it all,when u r born with a talent like this it will continue further than u will ever know,bless u sweet boy and dont ever give up❤❤
You are killing me man!! Your dad taught you really well!! 🙏🥲
He always sing with full of heart...I love his voice
I am stuck! Nothing else matters as long as this plays. It's just silence and I'm at peace
Maybe he could do also nothing else matters 👍
I love that guy so real cant wait to go to Hawaii to see him my friend he was the winner of all ge deserved it all and more
I think everyone sees the magical connection between Iam & his daddy 🤍 I also see it from his mama’s point of view. I think having a boy of my own makes me see even grown men differently - they were and always will be someone’s baby. Well done Iam & great job mamma & dad ❤
Such a talented young man, a pleasure to listen to him.
Just WOW🎉..shout out to Paul Simon..everlasting lyrics!
That voice BEAUTIFUL
The nuances and range of Iam is out of this world beautiful...I would like to hear him sing and a bagpipe playing...should be magical.
Winner!!!!!
He doesn’t just sing you feel his vibration of emotions go through your body hearing his voice ! I really hope this young man goes far!!!!
He sang with his soul❤❤
I love this song so much and his version is just amazing 🥰 So happy that he won American Idol, he sings from his heart 🥰🥰
It's been over 40 years since a voice has moved me like this...deep from the soul....an art that was forgotten
I keep coming back to this. My body still gets goosebumps
Same!
I love u Iam Tongi u really make my heart and soul cry,GOD BLESS YOU
Iam's singing soothes my soul.
Love love love hearing him sing this song...has a beautiful voice...want to hear him sing full version of this song...I hope fame doesn't change him
When he performs last, once he performs we instantly forget everything that came before him.
This is a SPOT ON explanation of his NATURAL MAGNETISM!!🥰
Good job Tongy bravo.
Teary eyed.. it's soul touching 😢 you're an Idol already in my book 🤗
There is perfection and then we have Mr Iam Tongi. Truly believe Simon and Garfunkle are in envy, wishing this is how they song this.
Beautiful rendition, perfect in every way!💕
He reminds me of Iz the Hawaiian singer.
My favorite performance of his so far. His voice is mesmerizing! ❤
Voice like gold your dad is so proud
Love this song and absolutely enjoy Iam's version. Reminds me of my childhood, listening to these easy listening classics. My heart is filled with love and joy listening to him sing any song. Iam has a God given talent and we are so blessed to experience it. Thank you Jackson for this video.

This is not only music or a song!!
It’s the music with it’s heart ♥

I cant stop listening to him, he is really "heartbreaking also medicine at the same time"

Iam’s performances have me hooked from the very first note he sings. Even better, he does it without having to resort to fancy vocal gymnastics. That’s how you know he’s an excellent storyteller. To have that gift at his age is definitely something special.
He needs to do the full song. I love the way he sings this song. So powerful and emotional. Please record the whole song

Beautiful and haunting. Goosebumps!

Outstanding❤
IAM, you’re the best❤️your voice, your music touches me so much❤️I cry when I listen to you sing❤️It’s a good cry❤️Thank you❤️

Love this versions
❤ our hawaiian islands is full of local talent....check out more of our beautiful voices....Josh tatofi is the guy with the glasses....
I’m hoping he’ll sing this song again without showing the judges talking. Maybe in the finale. ❤
It’s really disrespectful in my opinion. I mean to say when the performance is this good anyway. It’s like just ‘shut up and listen. You’re not that important.’
Should be bought out as the best version ever
