      At 60, he's a new breath of fresh vocals it's an orchestra 🎸 in his throat. I closed my eyes listening in 🎧 headphones no image Yet of iam I awoke agape how young and genuine he looks. Being flanked by the top 20, 12, 8, 4, 3 by 2! I knew he'd win actually from the repetitive a.i. commercial. That rubbing the top of his head, blushing he's arrived. Just you and I us, wait...

    I swear this kid is an old soul with a big heart that’s as pure as spring water. The love for his dad is unwavering. He takes my breath away and stops time dead in its tracks when he sings. I literally stop breathing & cease any movement just to make sure I don’t miss a single verse he sings or a single note he strums on his beautiful guitar. He is truly talented and is an amazing story teller the way he delivers his songs. I would buy his album and pay to see him perform! I hope he takes the #1 spot. He deserves it.

In all seasons watched of A. I., I have never seen or heard such a gifted musician as you, Iam ~ that has moved hearts & touched souls the way that you have :) even though other artists ♥ have finished well on this show, & others done very well this season, which are also very talented, not one of them in my opinion, has ever been so gifted, yet so humble...God has great plans for you, dear Iam. He put you here on planet earth for this very special assignment, and in a way, the experience of A I. for you has been a wonderful 'vehicle' to begin healing from the loss of your dad, & to carry his legacy with you to help others. Please never stop gracing us with your beautiful voice, & I cannot wait to see & hear 😍 💗 what comes next for you. A. I. is just a launching pad Iam...in my opinion, you are already #1 !!! Your dad will always be with you ❤, your #1 fan ;)... . I lost my father & sister at a very young age, and relatively young 😢 💔 for my mom. I am still grieving many losses of friends & family to Covid, Cancer, and multiple friends & family have gone before me. I know we will be reunited with them, and our beloved pets as well. In the meanwhile, we get to be soothed & star kissed with the music of Iam Tongi ! You are the best kiddo, and don't ever forget how special you 💖 are to your worldwide family 💜, O.K. ?!!!

    His voice is so soothing! When I have my Grandkids in the car with me I can play his songs and the kids go to complete silence ! His voice seems to calm them down! Now Iam puts me to sleep at night with his amazing calming voice! We just love him!❤🌻

      Someone said when he sings he has people screaming and smiling in seconds or crying like big babies. And so true. He touches us every time he sings. Great storytellers are very rare. And Iam does it effortlessly. I must have listened to all of his performances too many times already, lol.

Really there's some awesome singers this year but my heart is with Iam. I hope he wins. Just natural talent without all the hype. Reminds me of Stan Walker. Raw pure talent and kind heart that shines through is Iam Tongi 🎉 he's won even if he doesn't win but I hope he does xx

    I'm 63 years old from Indiana and you bring tears to my eyes everytime you sing. Just stay true to yourself enjoy your ride. I believe you're going to go all the way and be the next American idle. By the way you look a lot like my ten-year-old granddaughter. She's had we issues or whole life and feels left out but when she sees you seeing her face lights up and she stands up and she dances and tries to sing with you. Thank you for that.
