Many people are celebrating Iam Tongi, a top 3 finalist on American Idol, gathered at Turtle Bay for a homecoming concert, as he's set to take to the stage.
You know you’re a big fan when a video of Iam Tongi pops up on your nofication and you’re the first one to view it 😂😂😂 beautiful welcoming for the superstar 😍♥️😍
Amazing turn out! OUT POURING LOVE AND SUPPORT. EVERYONE is so PROUD. LOVE HIS MOM ALWAYS BY HIS SIDE. 🙂🙂🙂🙂❤️👍👍👍👍👍 YOU GOT THIS IAM TONGI. Next American Idol...yes. 🫶
After the Glory, eventually, comes the Duty. A Rastaman from Jamaica faced the same challenge years ago and used his music to give a voice to the voiceless. His music resonates with us to this day and as I see it, Hawaii has embraced his music. One Love from Jamaica
Lillian seems to be a gracious lady. I love how Kahuku’s Community always come together to show their support and love for their own. I’m not a Kahuku resident but love this Community. RR4Life.
@@cupidok2768 Iam visited his grade school music teacher who got him playing the Ukulele. He spoke with the kids while in school. Another clip was as an Honorary graduate of what would have been his High school graduating class had his family NOT been priced out of Paradise and was forced to move out of Hawai’i. This was a school function. I’m not sure what time the parade began but the concert was done after school hours into the evening. But for this Community, they’d take a day off to celebrate one of their own doing well in life. It’s called ALOHA and comes from their hearts.
@@deborahfrielbruns3857 wow he was forced out of hawaii. How horrible. Sounds like ppl that won the lottery and suddenly u have long lost aunties and uncles showing
Home is where you currently live. He isn't being welcomed home, he is being used by the very people who made him and his family leave and move to Seattle. Keep voting blue, love seeing this state burn down
If he doesn't win hope he knows he has won no matter what or how he feels. People will always know him as #1 but when he does win the whole world will be going crazy
Kitv that was terrible coverage and could’ve done better….smdh that kid with the yellow shirt thinks he looks good acting so disrespectful…😳🙄 #GOIAMTONGI #AwesomeSinger #LoveYaIAM……Getm!!!!
Did you not say you do not know who anyone is since you do not watch American idol? Yet, now you say not a real celebration? Pathetic!! You are irrelevant!
I love ❤️❤️💋❤️ Hawaii
💓 The spirit of Hawaiian
Tongan/Samoan....

What an amazing concert tonight!! Didn't want Iam to stop singing! Cried like a baby again when he sang Monsters ❤🔥
It was simply amazing. The welcome home, the support, the cheering, the celebrating, everything. So glad I got to watch this online.
@Antaising Its not a welcome home, if he doesn't even live here. He lives in Seattle thanks to the politicians you likely voted in
How wonderful for Iam - he so deserves this! Yessah!

they dont have work or school? is it a holiday?
@@cupidok2768 People take time off from work. School may have a day off. This is a once in a lifetime event. I would take the day off for this.

Bro, what does Rizz mean? And who came up with this meme?
@@zet- if you know what a lightskin stare is, it exactly like that.
This was ALL set up. Not a real celebration.
Did you not say you do not know who anyone is since you do not watch American idol? Yet, now you say not a real celebration? Pathetic!! You are irrelevant!
Were you there? I was!… of course it had to be planned and organized…
