Hawai’i loves Iam Tongi @officialiamtongi

It was an unforgettable moment in Kahuku for Iam Tongi. Everyone was choked up and the Kahuku Red Raiders c/o 2023 was singing & swaying with him. 🥲 His ‘Ohana had his back as he sang #monsters by James Blunt beautifully for his dad in heaven. Watch American Idol this Sunday on ABC network.

Please VOTE for one last time to make him our Winner!!

_When was the last time you saw Common Kings as a backing band_ ? That says it all. All the celebrity artists went out of their way to make it all about Iam Tongi. He is so lucky with this kind of support. They are such amazing people. There is no other place in the world you will see this happening.

I love how Jack Johnson and John Cruz look like proud uncles, . Man, this makes me miss home!

The year 2023 when the world got "Iam Tongi Fever" and NOBODY wants it to go away! I know I'm not the only one who sees him accepting Grammys, AMA's and the list goes on and on! Yessah!!

This is so great Kimie, please cut and post Monsters....your video captures the magic of Kahuku's Class of 2023, backing up Iam with their voices (other videos do not capture this). Shout out to the graduates of Kahuku 2023.!!!
