[avarenceful]

season 5 episode 7 of scrubs.



[betchofthecentury]

Listen to that majestic beauty! :D He is so underrated.

[ragetti911]

This song is so good no matter how many versions there are.

I first heard this version at the end of 50 First Dates, but that was my first time

hearing the song being done this way.

This song who hear doesn't love this song. I mean it is so happy and soothing.

Now I can sleep well tonight with this song in my head,

It's like a lullaby for people of all ages. And Kris Allen is super hot.

Awesome Clip!

[TheKnicksmelo]

the original is better

[syafie24]

These songs make me uncomfortable!!Love this song..!!

[du1isd1]

I love jason castro's version...more relaxing.

[cooljob9]

[horsegerbil]

Why have I not heard this before?! OMG.

<3

BEAUTIFUL.

Jason and Kris should duet on this song. :D I love their versions.

[piggywifey]

the "church recording bit" might not be entirely accurate. i read elsewhere that this was the song he sang on the second round of hollywood week, when the contestants needed to do the first solo. i don't actually know which one's correct though.

[j1vip]

soo cool ! where can i find it MP3 ?

[bishounenNUSHI]

[BEX9637]

[desigb]

So beautiful,so Kris Allen...Love it

[1majal]

Love Kris singing this song it gives me so much hope. Thank you for sharing.

[franjohnkarl]

can't anyone find a video of this performance? or does one exists?

[ARbornNraised]

I know that he performed it at NLC for Mother's day a few years ago.. i was there! and cried! very touching! I love me some Kris... miss NLC so much!

[NuzhasVlog]

Love him! Oh, I like Jason Castro's version too. <3

[cooljob9]

love it!!

[765lbsquat]

wow he has all the tools of the studio compressing and echoing his voice with many, many takes and he's still out of tune. OUCH!!!! couldn't imagine hearing how much worse it would sound like at a local karaoke bar

[TheRealTwigLA]

@765lbsquat I realize your post to this video is a month old, but surely you read other comments here. This was recorded LIVE at a church event - no 'many takes' or studio magic involved. He's also not 'out of tune' but people with an agenda always choose words like that to try to sway other listeners. It doesn't work.

[stretch46able]

This is fantastic.

[alimar02]

This is a cover of the version by Israel Kamakawiwo

[AtlanticoPBC]

Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' look up this, this is the best version and original

[joseorlando123]

@AtlanticoPBC its actually not the original, im pretty sure the original was sung by Dorothy, but Israel changed the way it was sung to make it a more pleasent song

[AtlanticoPBC]

Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'  this is the original version, it is so much better than all this garbage

[JainaMac10]

@AtlanticoPBC So bc it's the original version no one is allowed to cover it? It's not like he released this as a single lol get over it

[iluvtaylorswift8769]

@AtlanticoPBC I soo agree!

[juanitasousa16]

Parece uma musica de embalar :)

[13jaar]

I love Kris! :D

[heartlessface]

sadly, no studio's version. just live with ukulele

[ibelieveintomorrow]

Have no studio version of this song ???

Love Kris so much, he's great singer so talent & also nice person <3

Anyway this song & Kris's version is AMAZING

[snowvine]

[lexbryan]

[hopewasp]

[cooljob9]

[LatestPopPunk]

[confuuzaled]

Does anyone know where this song came from? Where did he sing it?

I LOVE IT. Just sayin'.

[fuzzywuzzybuzzy26]

[confuuzaled]

@fuzzywuzzybuzzy26 oh, ok. thanks!

[whiteytighty091]

@fuzzywuzzybuzzy26

New life Church in Arkansas

[TheAznkidtvo]

It's from The Wizard of Oz.....I think it's the first song that Dorothy sings

[iluvtaylorswift8769]

@confuuzaled My daycare teacher (from when i was little) know the guy that sings the original. I dont know his name, its hawiian so i cant spell it. haha. but he was my daycare teacher's cousin. He's not alive anymore, very sad. :(

[joseorlando123]

@iluvtaylorswift8769 Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was his name =)

[oo0olegendoo0o]

@confuuzaled this song came from the wizard of oz , 1955 i think. first sang by judy garland :D

[asianswimmer911]

@confuuzaled he actually sang it during his time on american idol

[dnaluvsualways]

Jason Castro has this song no other American idol should do this again because u will always be compared to Jason!!

[itspaigexo]

kristopherneilallen,<333333333­3

[genothelowrider]

Love this song, but IMO, Jason Castro did it the BEST!

--Geno TL

[abmilio]

[gdjaxman]

My new favorite! Sweet melting chocolate brownie fudge voice!!!! lol Go ukulele!

[yaylifeyay]

I love his low notes. I LOVE HIS LOW NOTES. <3_<3

[calarkie]

No Way!... Just my opinion.  Kris has a much richer voice.

[apayagamin]

wow.. this is the version of ysmael...

[calarkie]

Beautiful rendition of this song from beautiful Kris!  This guy is amazing! Sure hope we hear some of these amazing vocals on his upcoming CD. Love U Kris!

[EDGYWiiiTHASMiiiLE]

[rjoyo1]

His voice is soo smoooth! I love it! I wish he sang all the songs in the world!! :P lol. not really, but still, I Love his voice! :)

[fuzzywuzzybuzzy26]

me too

[thibb9]

i picture this song in the backdrop of a happy life insurance commercial.

[raythespian]

His low register seems limitless. I didn't like this much when I heard it early on. But now it sounds wonderful. That's what winning will do for ya, lol

[navarrosgirl]

I love the way he sings this song. Even though iam a huge Adam Lambert fan, Kris really did a amazing job with this. First time i heard it ...I was in love!! lol

[Glambert345]

Beautiful!!! Love Kris!!!

[NancyNyg]

Great tribute to the great "IZ" R.I.P.

[Sshelly34213]

That is some fantastic intonation..

Not necessarily the entire thing, this guy has a difficult voice to work with, but he just has perfect pitch when he does.

[ScarlettAzlynn]

oh and his voice is hella amzing obviously haha =D

[ScarlettAzlynn]

kris allen is literally the most beautiful person I've ever seen. at the ai san diego concert meet and greet, he was literally glowing and his skin is absolutely perfect. like im not just saying that, he is gorgeous. everyone else looked great too but he has like a porcelain complextion. im so jealous of his wife!

[xxox0genuine0xoxx]

yup. his face is just as beautiful as his voice. which is as smooth as butter on this song. i can't help but smiling while listening to this./

[ChristianHeart3]

We just played this song for orchestra! It was really hard but really fun! And Kris Allen is amazing! He sings this really well! Can't wait for his and Adam's CDs! :D

[jeejeejeejeejeee]

Really good version, love it <3

[WartornPIE]

this version is cool

[lucyhero00]

no seriously, where did he sing this??? and How can i get this??

[iLOVELOVELOVEhim]

because when you can make a song like this sound amazing, then you know your good.

[jacwhy94]

keepvid can download videos from youtube. :) Awesome song! Greater Kris Allen!!!!

[xxox0genuine0xoxx]

wow this is beautiful. his voice is so pure and sweet....very pleasing to listen to. i didn't expect it to sound so good. i adore him <3

[jessiicaaa96]

i loooove adam more than anything but this is really good and i'm starting to really like kris.

i love both of them.

BEST top 2 ever<3

[smilingsuzy]

Wow, this one's stunning. I love the sparse arrangement.

[mistikqqman]

Yay the the Bruddah Iz Version

Hawaiian Pride!

[AshleyLowis]

He's so amazing, Kris doesn't even need back-up music to sound good!

[Kirt22]

I love his voice, spectacular. Love with song as well :)

[18BasketballGirl]

wow! at the beginnign i didn't think this would be good, but i really like it!

[isisdagmar]

Where is this recording of Kris from?

[fuzzywuzzybuzzy26]

if im not wrong, he sung this at a church event, or something like that. not very sure.

[ragingraven1974]

KL is indeed the AI!

[ddugonjic13]

RelientKftw.. agree with you couldn't have possibly said it any better. his songs sound so much better if its just him and a light instrument or two nothing too hard

[stickynotesrock]

WHERE CAN I GET THIS SONG! i love it!

[kittehfreak4evur]

wow hes so good even at the simplist of songs and sorry if i dont know how to spell simplist im on a sugar rush hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe­hehehehehehehe

[rabdawg]

Not too bad

[cooljob9]

he has such a beautiful voice and fantastic phrasing!!

[lockandkeygirl]

this is actually pretty good in a really wierd way

[cubsgirl308]

dont like the arrangement but the singing was decent...

[kronos251]

wow, this is actually brilliant

[0blondesurfer09]

i like jason's better.

but kris is still my favorite. (:

god, his wife is so freaking lucky.

[RelientKftw]

oh and this one too

[RelientKftw]

I wouldnt say he has the voice of an angel, mainly cuz im a straight male fan...his voice such a raw quality that needs to be by itself, no back up singers, which is why Heartless was sooo gooooood

[WiLlxSmItHx33]

yeahhh Kris!

[xandermi]

This is the best male version of this song.

[karl1589]

WHAT!!!! not been bad but i take it

u haven heard shayne ward singing

somewhere over the rainbow

[JeriRose2]

Another great performance by Kris. Thanks for posting the full version.

[Razorbackchick101]

[KathyCampbells]

[jonniemike]

[lwn1954]

[dizzlesmuk]

[clarkentismyhero]

It's funny after he auditioned I looked him up on here since he wasn't getting much attention and I listened to this and I said that I think he's going to be the winner, I can't believe I predictied it that early but he really sounds so beautiful singing this song. I'm really glad he won he deserved it.

[hmckick]

I love his voice so fricking much, I cannot wait for his career to really begin

[soccerchic267]

[racrgal3]

[vanecaptures]

This is one of my very beloved songs. I am so that I found this vid. Kris sings it very well. Be still my heart. haha

[soccerchic267]

[XoNikkiGee]

[soccerchic267]

[akuma27199]

[rockerchic013]

THANKYOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for posting the full song of kris allen's version!! :] unike some other jerkholes who only post a minute of it and then advertise their own website

[navarrosgirl]

I am so in love w/ this version of this song...Kris sounds so amazing ..so much better then Jason Castro ..Kris should sing this song for his finally! One of ur biggest fans Kris ...

Rachel ..NYC

[fuzzywuzzybuzzy26]

really? jason castro's version is better?

dude, you really need your ears checked.

(:

[laurencaligirly]

totally agree

[beawasherexox]

agree with jillian842.

[DigiFuYoh]

i damn love dis song..........

[Inxsnut]

Kris Allen is a true artist.

[ketay88]

i agree that castro's version was much better but i think kris could of added his own originality to it and made it amazing

[lovereignnn]

The Adam/Kris brotherhood polish story made the NY post lol: tiny url . com / pg37ys (remove spaces). Here's the original from Kris' site:

bit . ly / 44pde (again, remove spaces)

[lovereignnn]

no.

[swind15]

Just Beautiful...Kris FTW!!!

[partaaayinmypantss]

how can you possibly think that Jason Castro sang better than Kris? reffering to two comments ago. not original but likee, Kris sounds better than the original, lmaoo waaaaaay better than this Jason Castro person..

[jtdfashodawg]

everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[partaaayinmypantss]

who was talking to youuu?

[jaysker33]

ahh.. its good? but like.. jason castro sang the exact same thing. nottt very original..

[mai17l]

it wasn't original with castro either

[Acinom0817]

I thought this was ok, I personally feel that Jason Castro did this version 10 times better.

[STRANGExFAMILIAR]

I hope he sings this in the finale. If he does, it is practically a guaranteed win.

[noowii]

Yep he will win :) <3

[boots1097]

adam is a screamer. go kris!

i love his voice. hes amazing. this song is so awesome, hes wonderful =]

[hsm3rox2]

adam screams in basicly every performance

[apetalxinxthexwind18]

and i love how simon doesnt even say anything about it. how much money do you think lamberts paying him?

[kahv1123]

very true

[lovereignnn]

You need to listen to his studios, they are stunning.

[evarubs]

kris is really awesomely, amazingly great singer.. He deserves to in the final two. Too bad DGookey did not make it... i thought it's d'gookey and kris a in the final 2. They say Lambert is good bec he hits high notes but its not pleasing to my ears thought he screams when he sings....sorry

[firedancerforhim]

Beautiful

[jgrc1996]

win

[sharkster015]

compared to IZ, this sucks

[fieldsofgold51]

This is so beautiful! Kris you are awesome, and I'll be voting for you!

[elkapitankalawit]

with the way they are promoting Adam, its going to be hard for Kris to win. if only he joined last year he could have won it,,

i'm going to buy his album when it comes out..

[kairi77]

God, I love this! It's so amazing! Fourth time listening to it right now, with many more to come. =]

He's amazing!! I hope he wins!! Can't wait for an album though.
