Damn kids got an amazing voice.
One of the most magical things i've hear is his voice. He is an angel on earth
He is on Alejandro’s level
Iam Wtongi is a 💎.
Uma forma de cantar diferenciada, emocionante, espetacular, fenomenal, uma raridade, chorei!
Ele canta com alma, sensacional ❤
Omg he is the only reason why I'm excited to watch american idol, I agree with the other good comments, he sees his dad when he sings, because I see my sad when I listen to him sing, omg I feel everyword he sings, just give him the win he that good. Love him
🎉🎉🎉
I’ve teared up 100% of the times I’ve listened to this dude sing lmao
Iam is incredible
That beginning was the best 42 seconds and then they had to ruin it with that back story 🤦🏽♀️ we want to hear Iam 😭
Not many use the gifts God gives them, not only is Iam using his gifts, his gifts are incredibly special. I don't think he understands just how talented he is. Father keep and hold Iam and his family. Protect him from evil, continue to bless him beyond measure. I so look forward to Iam's career. My mother was able to make me feel like this when she sang, but she gave up singing for us kids. She's in heaven now singing for King Jesus!
He makes the original songs sound better. His voice pierces my soul.
This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
He’s sooooo good. He needs to start taking care of himself or he isn’t going to be long for this world.
Your voice Took me to a place call silence ❤
Keinget IZ yg nyanyi somewhere over the rainbow 🙁
Kid has the soul of IZ.
A moving rendition of an iconic song. 1:14 – ‘narrow streets of cobblestone’ is next-level, goosebump-inducing stuff. An unbelievable talent.
EVERY time he sings, goosebumps
For all of us Tongans this is we’re it starts we need to make ourselves shine more show the world that we arent Samoan make them know you true colors
“Hold up let me hold my horses real quick” that was the most countriest thing thing to say😂
🥺🥺🥺
eerie?
O my feeling every words
I don't like how they throw these sad stories in there to try to manipulate us.
A lot of great singers this season but none more genuine than this guy. His versions of Monsters and Sound of Silence are better than the originals. I can’t wait to buy the cover albums and concert tickets!!!
Sweat…niceeee
Wow. One of a kind performance. He needs to be signed no matter what.
Remember Joshua Ledet? Was great every week,and lost, so even though he is great, he may not win,is what makes me so 😡
Clear winner! It hasn't been this clear since Kelly Clarkson!
That the version of Disturbed
He had me speechless ❤
All the feels, friend! ❤
I started watching American Idol again since I heard Ian sing, it touches the heart & lingers, can’t stop tears to fall, impeccable voice , way to go Ian Tongi👏👏👏
he better win has 10x the views of ever other artist
3.3million
Lets Go Nephew 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He took it and made it his own somehow…incredible.
Damn! I don't want to watch your show anymore, I can't stop crying through your soul😢😢😢😢😢❤
When I watch and listen, I think of Iz Kamakawiwo’ole.
❤ beautiful
