[senorsalvia]

Yay Taimane!! Great rockin' out.. I love it when someone can demonstate the uku is a stand alone musical instrument and not some limited toylike hunk of wood.. Thanks for the vibes....

[patrick20210]

verry verry verry gooood!!verry verry verry cute!!quebec canada.

[MrStablelad]

If You have had a No1 Hit, Taimane, Could Still Show Everyone up.

In her own Field of Strings.

Never Seen Any one Like her. She is Wonderful

[SauronsEye]

This is a slick and tight unit. Nice.

[TapDanceGuy]

I'm blown away. And I have seen Chuck Berry play it.

[14Everaldo]

Really good!!!!!

Congratulations,

a girl playing like never seem before!!!!!

The most musician woman of last 30 years!!!!!

[nostology]

WOW she can rock!

[StaticGypsy]

love Love LOVE this! :)

[HollyJane01]

What an inspiration! Players like this make me glad I'm a uke player :)

[Napolianboo]

Great job. I never noticed that before!

[ToHundreProsent]

Nice!

I also like that every instrument on stage has an abnormal amount of strings.

[Napolianboo]

Thanks!

[samuellaumusic]

wow, im impressed!

[Napolianboo]

ok. :O)

[willariza]

Awesome like always! One complain, though.Almost every time I watch one of your videos I wanna applaud you while alone in front of the PC and at the same time I want to hear if the crowd enjoyed as much as me. Please, leave a few seconds of the crowd cheering so we can be jealous of them !

[schl0tte]

Haha, that was furious :))

You gotta throw a Seymour Duncan pickup in and play through a Tube Screamer into a Fender amp!

[Napolianboo]

@schl0tte

Wow sounds like a lot of stuff.

Not familiar with those things.

mahalo though!

[IWantToKnowChrist]

@Napolianboo i saw your comment, i figured i wshould xplain what they fella meant, a seymour duncan, is a very expensive electric guitar pickup the thing that makes it electric instead of having a hole, a "tube screamer" is talkign about a type of amplifier or basically a gutiar speaker box that hasglass tubes in it instead of microchips it's old style amps, and a fender amp is a guitar amp. just what you plug a guitar into and it has a speaker and knobs, god bless!

[underdogg87]

@IWantToKnowChrist the 'tube screamer' is an effects pedal dude. why would he use two amps?!?

[BravoCharlieTV]

Top, top quality :)

[Napolianboo]

@BravoCharlieTV

Thank you very, very much!

[camabap]

Taimane, You Raaaawwwk Girl! Awesome!

[autumn1792]

wow your incredible....when you coming to guam i would love to hear you play live and meet you...if that is possible!!!!

[toasamoa2000]

GO DIAMOND,, IM CRACKING MY ASS OFF TOO GOOD JOB,,, GOD BLESS

[Davosvid]

You are one of the best music performer i 've ever saw, you completely on the stage and the audience with your presence and confident smile. If you ever planning a tour in Europe please don't miss Hungary we would love to hear you live. I wish I could have you as a friend. Keep up the friendly style and attitude, wish you a happy life.

[Juiceboxbabeee]

You have an incredible gift, and I'm pretty sure you now own the hearts of about two thirds of the males who have watched this or any of your other videos.

[toquegurl56]

holy crap this is awesome. come to canada!

[hongkong007A]

sweet

[oceansach]

hey taimane...y dont you do the complete Johnny B Goode? Because honestly I think your version sounds the best out of all the ones that I've heard so far, but u just sing the one-third! anyway keep rocking us with the ukulele!!

[On3Guy123]

omg your gorgeous and really good;)

[SidneyTurner]

I used to think ukes were a joke back when I played guitar but you prove to me how stupid I was.........AWESOME!

[Napolianboo]

@SidneyTurner

Thanks for taking the time to say that. Yes, some people do not realize the ukulele is an incredible instrument. IN fact, I have seen experienced guitar players blown off the stage in some uke vs guitar contests in Hawaii.

Personally, I love both the guitar and the uke. The uke became my traveling buddy because it is small and easy to carry. I absolutely love the ukulele.

[BUZZUBUZZU]

marry me!

[Napolianboo]

@BUZZUBUZZU

Sorry.

[threedjam]

This is incredible! My jaw is still on the floor!!!!

My thanks to Dona' for this great share.

[Napolianboo]

@threedjam

Thank you very, very much. Comments are so much appreciated!

[tohickon5]

I was told you would wow me and you did that and much more. Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this, dleewhee/Dona

[pastore0506]

Great performance!

My thanks to dleewhee for sharing this video.

[americanclassicg]

Thank you for disproving the theory that pretty girls make less than stellar musicians.

[Napolianboo]

@americanclassicg

That is one theory that is totally unacceptable!

[geoff1945]

This is one fantastic,Lady! I'm burning my uke as I speak!!!!

Thanks for the share Dona.

[Napolianboo]

@geoff1945

don't burn your uke! And, thank you!!

[apeanutforlife]

I dont think you understand. I was quoting a line from "The Hangover" :P

[Napolianboo]

@apeanutforlife

Oh. Thank u. I haven't seen the movie yet.  Have a good weekend.

[apeanutforlife]

"You must get this a lot but, is this the real Caesar's Palace?"

[Napolianboo]

@apeanutforlife

It's the real Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. One of my favorite hotels in the whole world.

thank you.

[zebradolphin69]

That is the greatest cover of Johnny B. Goode I have ever seen!!!

[Napolianboo]

Thank you very much. I use to sing that song on Don Ho's stage every night when I was age 13-18.

[bigwaters06]

Oh my god i think I'm in love. what an awesome preformance.

[Napolianboo]

Mahalo bigwaters06,

hope you can make a live show sometime.

Thanks and have a great new year!

[TraidorLocal]

I wish someone had warned me to put on a helmet before I watched this.. because that just blew my mind.

[Napolianboo]

Aloha TraidorLocal,

hope your head is ok. Thank you for watching.

[ironlegdave]

My eyes popped out of my skull, then my head exploded... just now...

[Napolianboo]

ironlegdave, hope ur head got put back together.  Mahalo for your comment.

[ironlegdave]

Right on, Mahalo to you and Mele Kalikimaka. You are a golden goddess.

[wigandave1988]

thank you so much for that, this is an amazing video! i love the mix of johnny b goode and wipe out :D very very well played im sat here with my ukulele trying to keep up and theres no chance lol. not long had it and originally played bass and used to love playing this tune! where abouts are you from? would love to see you play live! thanks again totally awesome!!!! :D

[SkullakaAce]

Oh my, you are quite good with that thing. May I ask who Don Ho is?

[Napolianboo]

Don HO is one of the greatest men ever, from Hawaii. Google him. He gave me my first job when I was 13 years old. He not only was a great singer and greater entertainmer that last nearly 50 years in the business, he was also the kindest man I ever met.

[Napolianboo]

mahalo plenty!

[Smudgefizz]

how did someone so young aquire such a range of styles & taste in music - Flamenco, Spanish, Baroque, rock, rock n roll,.... ??? & you usually don't see girls playing lead solos like she does, except for jennifer Batten. I heard than Don Ho discovered her playing on the street in Hawaii.

[Napolianboo]

Yes, the Great Don Ho did discover me playing on the streets of Waikiki. He was the kindest and most gentle man I ever met. He taught me so much. I was just lucky to play on his stage.

[aLoHaLeI96]

OMG! i saw her live today at my bro's ukulele performance at the mall. she was unexpected to play but she was wonderin around in the apple store n so she decided to play for us. she's really good!! so fast! i luv it! <3

[Napolianboo]

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to post this nice comment. Thank you so much. I'm glad u were there and enjoyed the performance. It was totally unexpected to see Uncle Roy there and to have him ask me to play.
