Hawaii boys don’t break. He might dabble in cocaine tho . But we always stay rooted

That's so Iam, the way he responded to the interviewer, that when James Blunt grabbed his arm it made him cry even more. 😂 ❤😊 Those are comments that make him so endearing. ❤️ 🌈

Love Katy, her humor and honesty is what makes this show. Of course love Lionel and Luke also those three are great together. The best so far.

I must admit American Idol was a little dormant for a few years but the Iam phenomenon has brought it back to life. Idol is back.

Leave iam alone about interviews, he is an excited teenager, experience will help him perfect interviewing. His singing is what made him a winner not his interviews. God bless Iam , sweet soul he has.

Love Katy's heart and love this whole team of judges. Their chemistry feels very authentic.

I love Katy! Because she was always a champion. For Iam. These were great kids, and the really neat things is they love each other. The Iam Effect captured us all.

Enjoyed this Season! So much Talent!

Katy is so awesome. She is a real good fair judge. She helps so many of them. It would not be the same without the three of them.

I knew Iam was the winner when he first come out and sang Monster. Congratulations Iam! You so deserve this!

I went to bed with “Monsters” in my head, and kept waking up with the lyrics. Last time that happened it was after I saw Kelly Clarkson’s rendition of “The Dance” and woke up crying. Music just moves you in amazing ways.

Congratulations to Iam Tongi may the most high bless you and your family and bless you on your journey to represent for your people 😊🙏🏽❤️💯

One of the best seasons ever. So happy for Iam and all of the top 12 winner's bc they're all winner's. Looking forward to hearing music from Iam, Megan, Colin, We Ani, Haven, Zachariah, Oliver and all of the many talents.

Best season ever alright! Iam you deserve it all! Keep touching our souls. A blessing you are ❤️

I pray for Iam & the entire top ten that God keeps them & protects them from the evils of the Industry. May God bless & protect them always. They are all amazing but Iam is exceptionally amazing! This season was the best ever!!!

I'm so excited that he won! That was my hope. His voice mezmerizing.. Iam make a Christmas album this Summer!!!

Awesome finalists! Congratulations Iam. ✨✨

I enjoy seeing the mentoring. Beautiful. Voted for the first time for Iam. God bless him and all the amazing talent. Iam brought me to American Idol as I don’t watch tv, but I love so many of the artists who’ve competed through the years. To see Iam win, it said a lot to a lot of different people. It spoke to some of us in ways beyond the talent, the beauty of the soul and heart and community came out through this, in addition to his awesome performances. I will be seeking the music of all these recent top performers. I just gotta say it’s beautiful and refreshing to see this young man win. I value all the top performers and I pray they all can be grateful and earn the success they desire. Ps. I can’t wait to hopefully see Iam perform at The Shell amphitheater in Waikiki 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Cheehoohooo yessir let's go Iam cheehoohooo Yessah congratulations

Ryan is great host. Iam Tonga gives young and old future singers or artists out there a big hope. Always bring it from your good ❤

Katy - just love her - dresses and style. Music is awesome! Lionel has been a fan of mine since the Commodores - Sail on is one of my favorites. Luke is awesome, but i can't buy Two Lane in Pennsylvania😢 and Ryan really enjoys this program and does a great job.

Katy u are an amazingly caring person so refreshing to see a celebrity like you, Lionel, Luke , Ryan nice.

Congratulations Iam. Play his music on the RADIO. Also bring some of the island MUSIC

@@DaSole The voting for the top 3 was on Mother's Day. Bad idea. The adults who love We were busy with family that night and who knows who was voting? I think Iam is a sweet young man and I feel for his loss of his father...but he was not the best singer, everything sounded the same and he has no range. I wasn't shocked he won, I could see he was an emotional choice, but We should have won hands down. The telling will be in record sales.......I'm betting on We to outsell the the top 3 and the winner big time. Her single is unreal and she wrote it herself!

Awesome show this season

We love all the judges

Congrats Iam on winning American Idol! Katy : "You are Iam, but when I look at your name I see I am the next American Idol!" When you win Idol, will you do the song Extreme's "More Than Words?" I guess Iam will have to start working on that song.

Ryan: Yessuah ! LOL

❤ Katy California Girl !!! Great advice from an OGGGG Lionel !! ❤ Ryan was so young when Ruben Was the AI he had long hair lol

Congratulations Iam !!!! ❤

Love Katy, Lionel and Luke. James Blunt was super awesome does he have any new music releases?

Congrats Iam 👏🏼 we loves ya 🇹🇴 🇼🇸 🇮🇪

Congratulations IAM TONGI❤

A gift of God why you win iam you deserved it coz your so humble a simple guy and you have an amazing soft voice which touches the heart of all the people watching you while you are singer, congrats be humble always.

Instead of congratulating Iam some of the haters are giving health advice and saying he lacks talent. 17 million people proved you wrong!😂😂😂 6:45

I can’t stand country music but Megan Danielle has perhaps the best country voice I’ve ever heard on a talent show. She will be a star

He looks so happy that's awesome 👍

Iam put that song Monster's on the map! Nobody I know knew that song & now everybody knows it! Iam is anointed. He is on a whole other level! God bless & protect him all the days of his life.

I love Katy Perry she is so down to earth

I knew Iam was going to win. His audition was Awesome. Megan Danielle's is Awesome to. She will go far.

I remember Katy clearly at the age these young people are. How many kicked her for being a girl on stage,and she stayed who she is through everything. I love her best when she screws up just like we do,and can be honest about it,and laugh at herself. She just stays real about it,and you can't fake that and pull it off,we know better,lol I admire her as a person for perseverance,and being a mentor of you can do it,I did.

Congratulations Iam Tongi 👏👏👏

Kylie Minogue was sooo EPIC beyond words PADAM PADAM 💯🎤👑😍🔥

Katie, if you happen to see this. You are fantastic and don't even think about not coming back.

Well deserved! Praise God!
