Iam said he’s gonna take his time going back to Hawaii for a while because his fathers buried in Seattle. So it’ll take some time. But at least he’s able to go back now.
Private jet and a limousine. And I am not even jealous. This amazing young man deserves to have all his dreams come true. Have a great great great homecoming. The parade and concert should be aired/streamed globally.
i think.....AI producers booked everything (private jet and limo)......I saw the other 2 homecoming, and they arrived in tour bus, or at least Colin did. I am still waiting to find out where in town will some restaurant or Dave Busters will have AI on tv...maybe even Big City Diner!
Iam is a very lucky young man to have had his father and to have his mother in his life. His voice, his storyteller's phrasing, his jovial attitude, and the way everything changes in a room when he sings, are so far beyond what passes as pop these days as to prove the authentic will always be rewarded. I would love to be at the concert. Rock on, Iam. Aloha...
Bless his heart i am so si happy for him i live in Athens Alabama and a was hoping he would win i am so so happy he won love him happy for him and his family god bless them all i hope he can get some rest he need to be careful i hope they do not push him to much praying for him
Can't help but cry for happiness... Iam, you always make us feel that we all are as ONE in color, race...you yourself unites all races in the world! Love you extremely! You are the world's new IDOL of this new generation! God Bless you brother!
Welcome home! I hope his current classmates and the community where he lives now will still vote for him! I'm proud to be Kanaka no matter where I am. (No pun intended.)
My daughter goes to school with him, we all still make sure to vote (even though our local ABC station won’t air American Idol live).. we worry he’s not getting all the votes he should because of them not airing it live. 😕
@@bambam2923 I’m not sure. Many of us have tried to contact ABC & they say it’s up to the local station. I’ve called & sent messages, but never hear anything back. 🤷🏼♀️
He has to be the most leid guy in that high school class! In all serious though, Iam is so talented and has such a wonderful delivery of every song he sings that, no matter what happens in the end results, he will be living out his dreams. I hope he takes up the cause of Hawaiian Independence as Bruddah Iz did. All the best wishes to Bruddah Iam!!!
I'm so happy for IAM TONGI, he's such a good & talented young Man! I know his Dad is smiling big for him from Heaven!! May ALL your success take you far, see you at the top!
Now his whole family can afford to come home to Hawai'i. God bless them.
Yes let’s vote and get him and his family back to their home❤️👍🙏🥰💯🏆🤙🤙🥇🔥🎶🎤🙌❤️❤️ 2:57 Hes absolutely a precious treasure!! So happy for him💯💯💯💯
Iam said he’s gonna take his time going back to Hawaii for a while because his fathers buried in Seattle. So it’ll take some time. But at least he’s able to go back now.
I wish I was there..but got price out. miss my home..😢happy for brother.
We love Iam. Thank you Hawaii for sharing this treasure with the world
HI! English is not my native language... Please explain what does it means hi was 'priced out from Hawaii' in this case...? Blessings 🙏🕊️🌟
@Helen Gren It means it got too expensive to live in Hawaii and had to find a place where it is more affordable.
❤ God bless
Only in Hawaii showing big Aloha even when you leave. We always welcome you back with open arms famous or not🥰🥰
Well deserved Iam, greetings from the Netherlands ❤
And from Canada
