Rodney would be proud 🙏🕊😌
First time I heard this song today at American Idol. Its so sad because our dog just died also today, and her name is "Kiki" shes 1 year and 10 months old labrador. Why Kiki? You leave us lonely, you make us so sad.. I will always play this song for you our Kiki😢❤❤❤ Thank you for the time we spend together, your family loves you.
Womp Womp😮💨
Xoxoxo

For sure very catchy. Good job Iam.
Love Dancing around the living-room to this song❤
This song been in my head since he dropped the snippet on yt shorts

His voice is so good, even Kiki wonders why
You win, best comment! I am laughing out loud.
Now I wanna know too, who's kiki? 😢😂

Super 👍
We all live to die. Every minute in life is precious.
no drugs, cuss words, weapons, 'flexing'.. just straight up wholesome vibes... beautiful too see nowadays
Ur gorgeous
Exactly
But he curses in real life so what’s your point
No he doesn't @@user-ob2pz5co6h
No need to bring up another genre. Theres different life experiences and more importantly levels to the art, just say your positives and move on
This is what music used to sound like 10 years ago.
I hope great music makes a comeback like this :)
Island culture is humanity’s finest!
You can tell a classic when it gets stuck in your head, 20 years from for no apparent reason, 'Why KiKi' is gonna pop in your head. Such a fun song. Genius double entendre.
If you don't mind please what is the double entendre?
@@aronsportel7366 there is a very popular town/city in Honolulu named Waikiki; pronounced the same as Why Kiki.
People rlly not catching that is funny af@@sallysson
@@41NewVAWE Just when I was learning to be humble ppl make me feel like I'm smarter than everyone else. J/K 😂
Iam is starting the wave for a new Island-Reggae-Country genre! 👏👏👏
Iam is already a legend but Maoli is been on that wave. Love what u doing tho toko keep shinning
@@steezyloh4870fr
Yes mix it up. Music is universal
Darius Rucker did it a few years ago as well with Beers and Sunshine.
Recently went through his whole history on American Idol, and truly I haven't heard such a magical and touching voice in a long long while. You are an angel Iam, we love you man, and your father is proud as a man can be. Keep shining ❤️👑❤️
This song genuinely has such a magical charm to it, mate you're going places for SURE 🚀
I CANT NOT BELIEVE IAM TONGI HAS 4.2M VIEWS IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS THAT'S IMPRESSIVE KEEP IT UP CUZ IT REALLY SOUNDS GREAT AND DON'T GIVE UP CUZ UR WORK IS AMAZING ALOHA WAU IA 'OE
I love when young artists honor their culture. ❤❤
Except when it’s a white male and patriotism
When white people sing about school shootings 💙💙
@@touchdown8909or a black man singing about shooting other black men and being high and sippin dat lean
Man why ppl always gotta ruin the good vibes, never fails ^^^
This song genuinely has such a magical charm to it, mate you're going places for SURE 🚀
It’s 1am here on the east coast. Instead of sleeping, I’m singing and dancing in the living room with the the cat and dog. I think my husband is pretending to be asleep, so I don’t drag him out here too. LOVE this, Iam!!!
😂😂😂
@@Hoseoked4Life I'm paying for that today, but it was worth it. 😆

Still listening to you in Argentina, lovely song!! God bless you Iam!!
to all who read this, and all who don't...sending you infinite peace, perfect health, abundant wealth, joyous freedom, and unconditional love...
🙏🏽💚💚💚💚💚🙌🏽
I just watched him on American idol first time. I heard this song and I love him and I love this song. Keep giving me more
Iam, I have not purchased new music in 20 years. Until yours. I generally only listen to the old music that I grew up on. But I've been cranking "Why Kiki?" on repeat all day.😃
Yessah 🤙🏾 thanks for the support ❤
This is a perfect song for the crowd to chime in. I can already see Iam pointing the mike to the crowd for the "why kiki" parts as he sings the rest of the chorus.
I've been watching American Idol for as long as I can remember and I've never seen someone as talented as him.
anyone else getting some Israel Kamakawiwoʻole Vibes from this kid? I remember him from American Idol and am so happy to see him doing well! Song is truly lovely and I hope you take good care of your health son! Would like you to be around long enough to melt my heart some more.
No singer has made me smile like this! 🥰
Heartwarming music video! Standing ovation! 👏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just watched the American idol and man. You made me realize how much i appreciate my father and that im gonna cry a ocean of tears after him. Thank you for being born brother, bless you and have a good life.
Im from miami but there’s something about Hawaii, its magical peace and love to hawaii ❤️
Iam definitely shows all the feeling in his songs, from the audition on American Idol we realized that he would be a great artist, good luck in this new stage
Iam sounded so great at his Las Vegas concert last night and he has such a great stage presence. He can just laugh off a mistake in the performance and it will only make it more enjoyable.
This guy just makes me so happy. His personal story behind his love and passion for music and his talent is just beyond words. And he's not just some typical pop star, he brings so much more to the industry than the ordinary stuff that we see all the time!
Like If Ur a Islander🤙
Im not an islander , but I support you all the way . Gods love and peace be with you all 🙏
Dun burnt down
Born and raised in Hawaii ❤
It's in da Koko dat flows thru my veins! ❤️ Hanapa'a!!
Me
This man is the missing piece the music industry needed🙏🏽
My dad wouldn't stop playing this song in the car !! Now I know why! it's so catchy !! Love this song!!❤❤
Such a beautiful voice. You deserve all the glory that comes your way. So sorry for your loss. God bless you!
This needs to be played on country stations.
I'm the semi old "GET OFF MY LAWN!" who doesn't touch new music and stays listening to stuff I grew up on. For some reason YT put this in my recommendation. This kid's special and I hope he blows up and is around for a long time. Just hearing 1 song you can tell he has it. Love the reggae like chill vibe of the music.
Beautiful. Everything about this video is beautiful. The scenery, the colors, the women, their dresses, the dancing, and most of all the sound of your voice. Team Iam. Team Hawaii❤️❤️❤️. Love the song. Love the rhythm of the music. Blessings my son.💕💕💕
This is a beautiful song, lovely voice and the scenic view, outfits and the colors. The entire actors, dancers and their outfits look gorgeous. Best wishes IamTongi
It's been awhile since I've found something truly worthy of a like on TH-cam. So blessed to be around to witness a talent such as this! Iam you're awesome brother!
You are a special person your soul is felt in every word you sing it feels my heart with happiness thank you 💕
Good thing we all supported him🤘🏻🥳 made him famous… and he’s way better than those current pop singers
This needs to be in a Disney movie it gives me positive vibes and it’s a song that all kids will enjoy even adults!
Ainda bem que conheci vc Iam, cm esse talento e essas musicas incriveis 😍
Love that song in my playlist whole day long...even months now, still my favourite song...the vibe is something else
This has to go to the radio station seriously!!!!!!❤❤❤
I can't get enough of the Country Island Vibes. With love from Big Island ❤

Iam Tongi made me weep as a father with his first audition on American Idol. I am glad he is seeing success. I like this jam. Keep it up Iam.
Stoked you were able to make it home. Excited to see the music you get to make for a long time.
One of the most humble person who had won it in American Idol. The fact that he likes most of the comments in this video shows how he appreciates all the love. Much Love for this guy from Cali. Mosdef got that Cali-Island vibes.
Man i just watched all of your Idol performances and let me just say you touched my heart and I am so proud of you and you have such an amazing and pure soul and keep on chasing this dream. Your dad is so proud of you god bless man❤
Thank you so much. Appreciate you ❤

I remember watching Iam with my mom and the first few notes we heard we knew he was the one. My mom never thought that he would make originals, oh how he has proved us wrong. His voice is just smooth as butter. I love his voice! ❤
Love it! I knew you were going to be huge! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see you on tour! Make sure Charlotte NC is a stop!!! Looking forward to more music! Your dad is looking down saying.. “ that’s my boy”
I've always loved that island vibe! Your father knew you were destined for greatness, and now he's enjoying your success with you from heaven❤

Hawaii needs to adopt this, especially Waikiki. This song captures so well the mood and vibe and gaiety of that city/state. Iam is really selling the world on Hawaii and island singers. So, so proud of this young man!
Came upon this song randomly and I’m so happy I did. Amazing
I just sat down and cried my eyes out watching his American Idol audition 😢
Waking up and listening to your song will help me to find motivation to get through this rainy day. Thank you from Germany. Beautiful song❤
Thanks for listening
