American Idol 2023 Winner
A winner was announced for season 21 of American Idol. The winner of “American Idol” was 18-year-old Iam Tongi after a three-hour show that featured live performances.
The native of Hawaii won the judges over right away at his first audition. Tongi got things started with a moving performance on the recent death of his father; after that initial round, he sang from the heart each week and proceeded to dazzle spectators with his beautiful singing.

Tongi stated,
“Honestly, it feels crazy, it feels unreal, and I just love everyone.”
The competition’s runners-up enjoyed their time here. Colin Stough and Megan Danielle both claim to be prepared and optimistic for what lies ahead.
Megan Danielle remarked,
“Some good, heartfelt music and just being myself all the time. I aspire to perform at the Grand Old Opry. So perhaps it will happen.”
“Really, man, I want to have a hit, you know? That’s one of my goals. I want a hit, Stough exclaimed.
The judges are aware that for all of the season’s finalists, this is just the beginning. Leave the tour. Find a huge artist to open for because the more people who see you, the more likely it is that they will remember you, advised Lionel Richie.
Luke Bryan stated,
“I think these kids have a–building blocks and a platform to get going and tackle the world, whether you win or whether you’re in the Top 10.”
Iam makes Katy Perry very happy.
According to Perry,
“I see someone who is born for this,” along with “totally authentic talent, a tremendous heart, and talent.”
Tongi is prepared for what comes next. “I enjoy performing live, so I’ll definitely be doing live shows, concerts, and other things, stated Tongi. I’m going to enjoy myself while doing it.”
The most moving part of the evening occurred when Tongi sobbed during James Blunt and Tongi’s performance of “Monsters” as he remembered his late father.
“I’m singing next to a guy who has the most beautiful voice and wears his heart on his sleeve. I felt just very lucky to be up there with him,” added Blunt.
The “American Idol” journey for this season is completed, but a new one is formally scheduled for 2024.
