I'm a Filipino now living in Australia watching this and I am tearing up and missing the islands terriblly. Thank you Iam. Thank you Oahu. Thank you Hawaii!
The word "Aloha" is often difficult to fully define with simple words. You have to experience it to fully understand it. THIS is Aloha. ❤ Thank you Iam for showing the world.
THOUSANDS of happy ppl all in one place says it all. HI did Iam proud in this event. Outstanding job from the parade, the Samoan fire pre-show and concert....and wisely choosing a venue large enough to accommodate the IAM 'tsunami' of fans!
I’m not sure if this video shows it, but there was a moment when he was first introduced that a helicopter fly over and showered all the fans with fresh Hawaiian flowers. It was just gorgeous and mesmerizing. Loved the whole thing. The parade was awesome too.
Iam you’re making the Hawaiian Islands proud! Through your spirit the USA is getting to experience ohana, aloha and local style, we love you...yes sir....
@@irenemichiko1027 Well then… ALOHA to Iam reminding us how love will chase monsters away. ALOHA to the Island celebrating with its unbraided love the boy who has come home. ALOHA to Rodney harmonizing with his son from the heavens that dance the haka.
I've never seen Iam look more confident & comfortable on stage than this. His voice seems bigger, too! He's been singing a long time but you can see his growth in the whole AI experience & combined support of the audience/mentors/close family. So great to see him thrive in the hometown environment! 🌺🌴🌊🤙
I'm a palagi and I had some Tongan friends when I was younger. They were the kindest, happiest, most beautiful, most humble people I've known. Such an amazing culture with a big emphasis on family. Oh and the food was amazing. When I first saw Iam on American Idol I thought this kid could win it all. I'm so happy for him!
You have captured the world Iam with your love, your expression of compassion through song. Your voice is the lullaby that puts all of us at ease, with peace and comfort. Thank you Iam Tongi.
credit to the electric guitar player for carrying this set...Iam literally turned to him for everything until "monsters'". not taking away but that guitar player should be recognized..and actually the whole backing band, even though the drummer seemed to be "eh" but at least the guitar player seemed to care...mahalo
Never taught that tnt was so good i met a girl in tnt an she has the world the whorld whorl every thing smelling tastsing that is whkrld sweet she theworldd

So cool to see Jack duet with Iam. Cool cover of island style for sure.
Iam is such a lovely kid . And a true Superstar! He probably still thinking " am i dreaming ? Life changed totally in a matter of months.
Lionel this song has been sung in the islands for years mahalo bra for the sweetest song!!
The boy is a STAR!!!! Let’s go!
Best video of the homecoming concert!!!
Love the view from within the crowd. Love this clip - can feel the vibes. Feels like Im there
Safe to say I think big homie will be making enough money to move back to hawaii after the show
Amen!!
Hope the label does not roll him over like they have done with others. 😮 Get good lawyers and managers!

Thank you! Your comment was on point ❤️🤙🏽✊🏽👌
I saw a poem on a plaque as a child ' Aloha means hello, Aloha means goodbye, Aloha means until we meet again below the tropic sky' 😍

yeah the whole concert was slapped together in like 2 days so I think most of them have never played with each other before
I moved away from Oahu 2 years ago but Iam’s music brought me back brah. Miss it…
IAM Tongi carries Spirit in that precious voice he shares with us all..with the world.
