20/20: How Bizarre (Pauly Fuemana)

[kevgonzal85]

@Noorja This song came out in '96 not '07.

[Vimap123]

Rip Pauly! He died and no one told us...how bizzare!

[TheSuperBlackMan]

Is this guy still performing?

[bags64]

Stop with the excuses. This douche got lucky with a stupid song and died of aids obviously. Get over it already

[boxing2012]

just found out he was dead after searching for how bizarre after the song popped into my head for the first time in years. as he said.. how bizarre... rip bro

[noojra]

Mean to say 1997

[noojra]

Omg he died? I remember this song from my visit to the states in 2007 it was always on the radio. To this day it reminds me of my stay in Michigan and the friends I made there...How Bizarre!

[Maethis]

parmesan!

[disperse101]

Legend

[Joker16707]

He kinda resembled the Rock when he was younger

[TheKafi1]

how did he die?

[lamaya43]

@TheKafi1 Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, a neurological diesease which also affected his respiratory system

[Benner86th]

i' ve never met a person who disliked How Bizarre, i hope pauly is on abtter place now

[popadop5]

oh my god, just found out pauly passed away...r i p pauly, i really liked how bizzare, still like it now.

god be with you .

[WildStrawberries]

R.I.P. I'm very sorry about this guy!

[jubmasterflex]

Wow, how tragic, even more so for a one hit wonder (at least stateside)

[dannydel61]

One of the saddest stories I've ever heard. Pauly could have been an actor. His music was infectious. His legacy will be his music and his beautiful family and in the end, he died knowing he was surrounded by love.

[zachariaaaa]

so im reading these comments and its jsut sad... what he couldve contributed to music? are you fucking kidding me!?!?!? he was a one-hit-wonder douche that spent all his cash and fucking died, he peaked years ago.. good riddance to bad rubbish. and you were the biggest song in new Zealand? one of the smallest and newest country's? sad.

[clojap]

@zachariaaaa Why come and spread negativity? the guy has passed away and he has people who are sitll fans that appreciate his contribution to music even if you don't. Why be so heartless? does it make you feel better to be so negative and put down a dead man? are you perfect? I know I'm not and I wouldn't insult someone the way you are, especially if he's not around to defend himself.

[oooooMOEooooo]

@zachariaaaa ur a bad person... no respect 2 u....

[zen465]

love this and pauly so lucy lawless decided to turn up and lend a hand, lucy nice woman but she is best rememberd for swinging a sword in a crap tv series.

[ggootube]

It's the struggle that just touches your heart. Everyone should feel the loss of the music he could have given us.

[nicnac41]

just heard today he died. what a shame. nobody reported bout his death(in germany), what a tragic story. rest in peace pauly. miss ya, yeh lovely bloke

[TY1979KA]

@nicnac41

yeah now word in germany about his death as if he never existed

rip

[sunbieharrell]

What a good man, and this world will miss you. It took me nearly 8 months to learn of Pauly's death in the USA.. Too young to leave us. New Zealand, you lost a shining star..

[zaberachi]

r i p

so very sad

[quig66]

He once took the time to answer an email I had written him years ago. Don't know of too many artists who would do that. RIP Pauly.

[TheWhiteDreamsOfLife]

@quig66 no shit! huh i now have even greater respect for the guy. unfortunately in this video you can already hear that there is something wrong with his voice and the way he conducts himself almost seems like he is in a poor mental state. anyways for a while in his life he had more fame than 99% will ever have, he lived the good life but died in near poverty. he had so much potential, shame it never really worked out for him. RIP Pauly.

[Sojaofdapepo]

looks like hes been in one to many fights or he is an ex addict

[LouieSeafur]

Pauly was a great person- great music that was fun and new. he died way too young..RIP pauly- Ill always spin your album with pride..... big love

[pureluck101]

How disrespectful is that?! I go on here to watch a vid about the late Pauly Fuemana and get a 30 second advertisment stuck in the way!!!

[ExodusPessoa]

Cheap steak come on that's a cheap shot.

[talon115]

Rest in peace.

[uppercutter450]

R.I.P Pauly.

[silikon2]

Rest in Peace Pauly.

[TheOriginalGaryGore]

be well - you will live on every time your music is played!!!!!!

[Thunda1986]

he was way to simple thats why he lost it

[prejiheskyden]

you judge without knowing anything you stupid cunt

[Thunda1986]

[Thunda1986]

[ravensbk]

r.i.p....

[fugazi714]

[Thunda1986]

[Fishercherrlynn]

[francousette]

j'adorais cette chanson, c'est triste, il est mort jeune, en laissant une femme et 5enfants,

[lajoun]

He looks a little bit weird. like he gots cancer or aids or something. no dissrespect.

[thatiamdisco]

I don't know much about this guy but he seems like a decent person. Sucks he died...

[tulaniu]

@nzsodomy he does look a bit wasted, was he really on the P?

[ihinarap]

R.I.P Pauly Fuemana

[PlatinumTubeSpace]

RIP PAULY !

[MrAroha]

R.I.P Mah bro, my hearts with ur whanau....

[MAORIBOY1983]

I love you my bro R.I.P

[lendmeurears]

You get a the distinct impression that he was an asshole in the past and therefore deserves all he's gotten from life up until this point. But you really see that this terrible experience has made him a changed man. Well now he's gone, and it doesn't matter anymore. R.I.P.

[dskret07]

RIP PAULY ! xo

[wilzster]

not even sad. he wasnt even the man. shit song and shit singer. served him right he was a druggie. michael jackson was a sad story. this isnt

[Keysmusic]

@wilzster And Michael Jackson was no druggie??? Come on,man

[mail2jamgem]

This is not okay. You don't have to like him, but a little respect would be right.

This guy died too young, if you like him or not!

[canadaman68]

You are an idiot to say that. Most likely a kid. Jackson touched kids.

[zen465]

what kids, cmon man he touched kids in a good way, u negative peeps are pissing us positive people off.

[Marius9741]

a beautiful person. an inspiring story in humanity. so sad you've left us...

RIP

[joose7five]

Friggin sad, not at all deserved.

Rest In Peace Bro..much love to your famz.

[watersonya]

RIP Pauly, I wish to express empathy to your beautiful family. You will be missed dearly. Your story will live on, as will your spirit. Peace out bro, you did choice x

[007edje]

[botbotdingzip]

Aussie loved your tune, along with the world. Cheers bro, rest easy.

[gsf67]

R I P Pauly, You are going home, Our thoughts are with your lovely wife and children..

[finncira]

Man, that sux. You certainly seem to have lived life hard and fast and no doubt learnt shitloads on the way. My thoughts are with your family Pauly. RIP brada and thank you for the music and memories.

[AkkordionBloke]

He taonga nō te whenua me hoki anō ki te whenua; toitū he whenua, whatungarongaro he tangata.

[KellzMelis]

[GreaserChrist1]

iz pauly tongan

[TSanMig]

that's not the same Lucy Lawless I'm thinking of, is it? she looks great if that's her. and even if it's not and just the same name, she still looks great.

[PhotoUlf]

He's half Maori and half Niuean..

[rok30]

good stuff

[Bartimayus]

havent heard anything from him since this interview.

[JTsweetiez]

wow funny what a million on crack can do!

[syfon33]

HOW BIZARRE LMFAO!

[f00ky3w2oob]

I preferred Stole ma car

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

Lucy Lawless is one sexy woman.

[availabillity1]

that's a really kool song with Xena. I hope it gets popular.

[Thunda1986]

he wason bro town a lil there

[aleonflux1138]

I think Pauly's brother, Phil, had a band called Fuemana and they did a cool version of Rocket Love. It'd be great to see the vid if anyone has it to upload.

[jkdhoward]

A good friend once lost a paper she'd wrote and when I asked if she was bothered she turned and said not really, now I'll write it again, this time better.

[jadedy9]

how bizarre

[willykNZ]

welcome back? he didnbt even make it back idiot

[NiagaraWarrior]

congrats on your return to the music industry pauly, i hope your return gains momentum.

[Thunda1986]

man he sounds and looks fried

[balazsbmw850i]

pauly fuemana !!! best ever

[CrystalPalace2009]

Welcome back OMC.. You were missed!

[nt250934]

pauly keep it up bro

[markx64]

it sounds like that the answer is simple......read and understand what you sign

[KingYiddish]

omg how bizarre ^_^

[15MinutesofLame]

Keep going strong Pauly, keeping it real.

[Prometheus1st]

you all have no idea

If you haven't been thru 30+ and lost some shit.....you don't have any idea.

To have been thru that....and come back to what you want in yourself...is an amazing feat. If you can hold on to that....

Pauly and his protege' have their own.

Welcome back Pauly!!!

[javejj]

what an idiot, i hate how bizarre

[rareskin]

brave heart best wishes pauly

[callmejacko]

man..I hate aging. somebody stopme!

[niueroo]

Pauly the man. No one else has climbed that mountain since. Much respect.

[jpg0572]

what 'mountain'?

[bondhemibond]

you rock Paulie.

[jencomackey]

I love OMC. Love to hear more from them.

[franko161]

how bizarre !

[mudaphucker]

that what money does

[bondhemibond]

money doesnt do it - its what you do with the money that does it. Paulie got fucked over by sophisticated executives wanting more cash.

[snig27]

what bullshit..anyone with any idea of the truth and what went down would tell you that's not what happened at all.

[snig27]

Sorry but that's just bullshit. Anyone who knows anything of what actually happened wouldn't post that. It's nonsense.

[snig27]

posted twice (accidently) to the comment "money doesnt do it - its what you do with the money that does it. Paulie got fucked over by sophisticated executives wanting more cash"

[sterneis1]

how bizarre

[davecarldude]

man with that new zealand accent its really hard to understand

touching story though

[molloyboyzown]

i know his kids they go to my school!!! caesar and angerlo

[harich08]

Your the Man Pauly, a big inspiration to us all because of your success, every star has a successful period, you are still going!! you are the man and GOD bless your family

[2bsure]

What a cool, humble guy. You have everything with a loving wife and your beautiful children. I think he sounded so honest, and I would love to see him do well, great songs

[xyrius]

pauly is the man. the how bizarre album is a real classic.

[tfujiwara1]

...damn, i feel yah bro...cool guy and down to earth like celebs should be...but hey, i'm no one to judge.

peace & much success

[2bjesscool]

hes a great one.

[crozzcity23]

It's so cool to have a great, true artist back. He deserves too have a big Comeback. I will always suport him. big up too pauly.

[cuttee4579]

If he's getting 50k a year from royalties and he owes 90k what's the big deal? Get a job to live on and use the royalties to pay the debt. Gone in two years.

[MacSing59]

My band and I struggled for 18 years and never even came close to any kind of success that Pauly had. If he nevers make it big again, at least he had what he had! But I am sure of it... Pauly will make it big again! GL Pauly!

[Thassrightbaby]

Its a sad story, but its not all bad. He's lost alot, but it would have taught him alot as well. He looks to have a wonderful family, he hasnt lost hope in life, and he's working towards somethin better by taking it one step at a time.

[poorkiwi]

Id love to see this man live

he is the man, and I hope his life changes for the gud

[soccergurl94010]

THIS JOURNALIST=ASSHOLE

[jetertorre]

How many meatheads out there think that they're gonna be a star and never even manage to make a recording. At least this guy had his moment.

[nzgirly01]

Thanks for posting this - was interesting to see. Looks like hes may hav indulged in some hard drugs too, shame, love the song!!

[nzgirly01]

Yes, Lucy Lawless was Xena warrior princess

[freshprince04]

he made a track with lucy lawless, is that the same chick who did xena?

[TheDarkestAbYsS]

How bizarre How bizarre

[ChopSockeyJockey]

You can see the extent of the drink and drugs in his face. He looks beaten. I just hope his life turns around.

[bakismaki]

Boy his accent is thick. Subtitles please.

[LeafsYankeesPatriots]

buddy make good music, grow some hair and stop lookin like a junkie and you'll be fine. I know you'll read this cuz you're a bum with nothing else to do so yeah peace out

[mindtwist13]

So you want him to look like your Nsync/Backstreet Boys CD collection - 50 cent looks like a gorilla/makes shit music and he's a millionaire/Bjork looks mentally retarded - Mill/Manson/

So where does looks help with good music? and how does making good music help, more good music, more money, more drugs.......

[SunnyCool]

man the NZ cop cars look pretty slick... lol

[Mohamed81]

He looks a mess.

[jego38]

thats for sure...but can u imagine how much this guy enjoyed his life after his success??? i feel envy about that

[hottfukc101]

success hardly lasted

[poyntsorrells]

Thank God, passion finds him again.

[WaitingforBud]

KIA ORA BRO! Wish u all the best on ur way! che

[thomieone]

how bizarre!

[stuckIN801]

Is it just me or is the journalist an asshole?

[nzboi]

lol did that presenter say "it's not flash but it's not hory" hahahahahahah

[ggbanini]

haha i know him..he lives down the road from me :)

[YouLube2]

Good to see he's back on track.

[chris832]

nice

[tuakoi]

I like it, although the journalist is somewhat insensitive. I always get excited to see Nesians on tv. I didn't see any Polys on mainstream television until my late teens and I'm 23! New Zealand is great like that!

[chris832]

yeah i know i see Polynesians everywhere on tv, radio, even on my playstation games heck even wall street nah jus kiddin but i see good things for us in future.

[tuakoi]

Luv ya for dat chris-chrispy, its a long road ahead but filled with lush valleys and those beautiful greengreen hillz of home...I'm Tongan-American or like Af-Am, As-Am and even Euro-Ams. Yes I know, Americans have dominated the hyphenated ethnic identity game.

[tuakoi]

As in that old movie from the '40s-50s "Pagan Song" that was set in Tahiti, the beautiful temptress had a Polynesian mother and an American father so they coined her as "Amnesian" - get it, it's like a pun on words, almost sounds like a label you'd put on a person stricken with amnesia heheheh, but dats da kinda movies I had to watch to get some glimpse of something close to home...a home [Tongan islands] that I had just visited 3 years ago!

[tuakoi]

NZ born'n'bred PIs are blessed in that way that our island homes are more accessible to them...FkApApA2 my brotha! :))
