In the comments, viewers didn’t hesitate to slam the country singer for announcing the highly anticipated moment before the competition show aired on the West Coast. Someone ranted, ‘West Coast is still watching. Thanks for blowing it.” Another said, ‘I probably should have stayed off social media.’ While a third said, ‘I wish you waited a while to post. We recorded it and couldn’t watch it quite yet tonight.’

In the short clip, he performed onstage in front of a packed audience and strummed his guitar as he sported a lei, known as the necklace of flowers given in Hawaii as a symbol of welcome or farewell. However, viewers and judges appeared ready to pick Iam as the real winner of the show. During Disney Night, Iam honored his late father and performed the Cat Stevens song, Father and Son. 

Following his rendition, Katy who had dressed as an Elastigil from the Incredibles hinted he might be the next winner, stating, ‘I believe it’s written in the stars.’
