[Cmayjalook]

This is one cover that is better than louis armstrong i am sorry but it is beatiful.

[Cmayjalook]

This is Gods Montage.

[Cmayjalook]

This is Gods Montage.

[Dani0kasijo98]

R.I.P IZ

[szwejo1]

Fajna piosenka



[12n1allnet]

i canNOT believe there are dislikes on anyu of these IZ videos:( makes me sad because i love all of his songs... his voice is just so amazingly soothing you can't reject

[vivigood777]

nice voice!

[MusicalCitty]

We Still Love You, In 2012

[MrPresidentJambino]

Another artist similar style?

[MusicalCitty]

@MrPresidentJambino A "pro" website claims these are: deep blue something e-type The Reindeer Section Jake Shimabukuro Last Night's Entertainment Doc Watson Jeremy Moll Chet Atkins But nothing could be ever better

[evlchcang]

How can people dislike his songs? His voice is so angelic and he plays that ukelele like a bad ass! RIP Iz <3

[beybladefan]

He has a beautiful voice!!

[RedRobertify]

oh wait a sec there's only that song right here...

[RedRobertify]

isn't there a single link of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole singing JUST Wonderful world with no Somewhere Over The Rainbow?

[lploverx]

he was one fatass badass ,

RIP AND RESPECT!!!

[hermes2905]

just amazing makes me cry - wish people would listen to the words and change

[Murilo8656]

essa música me encanta !

[TheGJcookie]

This song is amazing, I couldn't stop a few tears coming to my eyes. :) This man had a large heart, and I died a honorable death. Everyone who disliked this video should rethink as to why you did it. If it was about the quality of the video, that's stupid, if it's about his singing, that's just rubbish. There is nothing wrong with this video.

[xAjK23]

@TheGJcookie they just did it to piss people like you off.

[Blackbirdinnight]

I love the song, but you must admit, the video is not that imressive. Thats probably where all the dislikes are coming from.

[MikaGrey]

I love this song personally, loved it before it was done by IZ. I love both the Louis Armstrong and IZ's =D

On a side note not everyone is going to like this song no matter who sings it. People have the right to their opinion just as you have the right to insult them for their not liking a song that you do =P

[kdesurne]

This song is so beautiful.

[mihairoot]

Grt song! RIP, wish u make songs like this now...

[daytyme201]

This man was a true inspiration to peaceful and loving people everywhere

[goinwyr2wyr]

WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT TO ALL!

[aafcfreak]

you will be sorely missed Bruddah Iz. I will see you again one day.

[sirsmokey1984]

A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a "slut", no one knows she was raped at age 14. People call another guy "fat", no one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight. People call an old man "ugly", no one knows he experienced a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 88% of you won't..., yet we should also enjoy the wonderful music.

[FRANKMACALUSO]

@sirsmokey1984 True words .... why are ppl so stupid ?? Is it hereditary ?? I am 12%

[nworthyhands]

Thank God this big bruddah's body wasn't big enough to keep his spirit from overflowing onto all of us! RIP Iz

[MakulettAko]

Yes!

[SuperMamabear2]

What an amazing person his gift to us with his music, voice and his love , the peace his music fills our hearts with is a blessing. RIP IZ, you continue to bless our lives . With much love and respect from El Salvador. , Thank you .

[carsellingfool]

I just discovered this guy's music today. It amazes me that people can still judge people based on their appearance. The Bible says "For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart." I have to imagine when He looked at Israel's heart that he smiled at what he saw. Heaven's choirs now have a sweeter sound to them. Bless you Israel.

[CBJAMPA]

Love this guy's music! His arrangements turn already beautiful songs into absolute bliss. Just got to learn about him this minute, and just totally fell for his magical voice. Absolutely beautiful!!

R.I.P , Israel!

Brazilians would've loved you, too.!

[Phoebes011587]

he may not be thin, he may not even be worth looking at to some.... but who are you to judge him like that? Close your eyes as if you were blind and listen to his heart and his words. He loved music... he loved people.... why do people judge with their eyes first? Open your minds, open your hearts and listen....listen to his love and his heart pouring out to you. Those who judge others before they judge themselves will find in the end they will lose out on a lot. thumbs up if you agree...

[xXxXscreamsXxXx]

@Phoebes011587

[Seem1300]

@FuckManAllGuys Maybe you're right, but this man is dead because of that, and if he could change that (so easily that you're explaining) I'm sure he would have done it, you don't know how he was living. Now if you have too much hatred in your mind, that's only your problem, don't bring it on people who don't asked anything. (Sorry for poor english)

[Seem1300]

@FuckManAllGuys You need to have more respect, peace.

[JorgeDX3]

@FuckManAllGuys He's dead, dude. That's not cool.

[TheHernandez561]

Wish I would've heard of him waaaaaay before.. :/

[nixxx942]

His music makes you feel as if you were in Hawaii, shame he went so early RIP

[nixxx942]

I want to know have a golden voice RIP

[badmonkey711]

his music makes you feel like youre almost in Hawai'i and sitting next to him listening to him its amazing how it brings the music to life! rip you went before your time but God needed you to sing to him :)

[Prologue2113]

@badmonkey711 I had the privilege of meeting IZ when I was a little kid. I moved to the mainland from Kapaa and visited his monument two years ago, and I wish I could have seen him again before he left. But he's in good hands now, and I think we're all reminded through what he's left behind. He opened a door to peace and intense love, and as long as we keep listening to his voice, that door will remain open for ages. Mahalo, Izzy. A hui hou kakou.

[sonofsilence]

brilliant version. I've added this to my FB group page dedicated to cover versions "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version"

[debonlr]

lol love the way all these ppl think he did not cause his own death by being obese lol its a choice not a disease

[America100000able]

@debonlr

No it isn't. He had a thyroid problem you jerk. Look it up on Google.

[debonlr]

@America100000able lol fool no he did not have a thriod problem why dont you look it up on google and wiki fuckface

[MsNewpaz]

I love this version :-)

[emwolbemwolb]

may IZ rest in peace. His beautiful music lives on....Mahalo!!

[deej411]

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS

[xXxAsmodayxXx]

@deej411 You're an ass

[FoxyCowgirl78]

i love his voice

[gisatibi]

nice



[ChronoSeemsFaded1s]

it aint just the person himself to blame for dying coz of his overweight problems or respiratory failure... its life... let it go.. move on... and listen to sum good ass music.

[MrFavorite01]

Why do you guys respond to the idiots? If you KNOW that Israel is awesome, than you know others already share that emotion. No need to show how you get irritated because that'll only make them come back. He's awesome and leave it at that.

RIP man. :')

[America100000able]

@Forgetit675

Stop broadcasting your hate message here. At least this guy did something in his life, and helped millions of people like me go through life. If you have any guts then you won't be say these things, and I know you don't because you are nothing more then some troll who types hate messages through the keyboard.

[Forgetit675]

Guys IZ is dead, hes long gone, Fuck IZ, hes dead and gone, your here now, and you have to make the best of this world, IZ was a moron, he had a disease that he could controlle, Its him to blame. Just stop listening, you got to move on, you listen to this all you life.

[MuzicIzMyDrug1]

@Forgetit675 I got two words for you. Fuck you.

[TheKranski]

wonderful world when a wonderful man sings a wonderful song..need i say any more..i think not.....

[75becassine]

je vous aime I Z!extraordinaire vs allez manquer au beau monde de la musique et à ns encore pluset pour le connard j'ai juste a lui dire casse toi tu pue!

[faqirsilki]

RIP Israel, RIP

[MrLeigh1997]

i find it funny that im 13 and i listen to rap and hardstyle and stuff and yet this song is appealing to me its just a great song thumbs up if you agree

[jeffv5950]

God bless you, Israel! Never had such a love for someone I have never met. I know you are in heaven now, bro.

[jsmalls911]

is this man alive. or has he passed on

[limetang]

@jsmalls911 He has unfortunately passed on.

[pmauleon0347]

@jsmalls911 sadly.... he passed away... RIP to him

[GORILLLLAZ95]

@jsmalls911 Israel sadly passed away on June 26, 1997 at the age of 38

[Bonys03]

We love You!!!!!!!! From Brazil XDDDDDDDDDDD

[grandrapids57]

[TheCassiemc84]

[aPandaInLabor]

[rafahyelo]

Kamakawiwo se fue a volar sobre el ARCO IRIS, con los pajaros de su vos color AZUL!!!!

[jbharuch]

I always pray for Palestine

[mattrulez294]

[SJAAK196]

Rust in Peace dear Israel Kamakawiwo'ole ... ~ We will always love you:'-)

[n8tive076]

22 ppl need to go to hell!!!if u disliked this..than u have no heart....

[bmgb2008]

@n8tive076 Israel was a really good hearted, peaceful and good person, like someone said here, its not the size of the man that matters.. its the size of his heart.. and about that.. this guy had one of the biggest hearts in the world! people who disliked this song have no heart and no brains... bunch of colossal morons.. if you dont like it.. then DONT WATCH can all of you who disliked this song understand that?? or are you that dumb and thick ???

RIP Israel you're being missed everyday

[n8tive076]

@bmgb2008 wow readint this almost made me cry.. :')...well said....

[ShaneRaweewon]

@bmgb2008 Don't worry, I'm sure those 22 people just clicked the wrong button ;)

[MrIbanos]

@bmgb2008 If he wasn't so fat, he'd still be alive.

[miclish]

Iz thiz guy qsing coz he is op

-Miclish

[msgross2010]

The intro and orchestra take away from the genuine spirit of this song...still and excellent song though.

[headslo]

@msgross2010 I agree completely. It sounds like a cheap hollywood mix that totally muffles his real sound which is so much more without these "filler" effects. Just let him and his ukulele alone.

[Jareth1981]

God bless you Israel. I had my honeymoon in Hawaii last year and your music will help me to remember it as the best time of my life. I know you're in heaven now spreading your message up there.

[LaMiGrAFrAnK]

Why was he so fat? Cause he lazy or sick? There is a difference

[lpearson2003]

@LaMiGrAFrAnK - Because where he was from, it didn't matter! He was PROUD of who he was. If that is allyou have to say about a Song, I question your IQ. Why are you so DUMB?

[eggiwegs1]

@LaMiGrAFrAnK i just made a youtube accout to say that you are an idiot....

[msgross2010]

@LaMiGrAFrAnK

Does his weight even matter? His voice and pure spirit overshadows his physical features...

[carbonrocket]

What the hell has been done to this song? I dont remember the start going like that

[LuvCharlie34]

Famous what a lively voice you have Israel. Just loved your music and singing ! xxx

[Hawaiilays3]

Omg, who is the background orchestra that plays in this. pretty cool

[qpmickqp]

amazing !!

i just heared of him ... yeah i know ... what a shame...

but he if F.... amazing

[MsNaturewoman]

Life is so beautiful....

[karthikmmc03]

[kyubaki]

S LA LEY

[HotHawaiianNights808]

I love you Bruddah Iz and what you meant to the people of

Hawaii and around the world. With fame comes jealousy.

I choose to ignore those insignificant life forms here on YouTube that call themselves, "human beings."

You are that angel we all need in our life and continue to

keep in our lives as you inspire us.

You fill my Hawaiian heart and allow my soul to be set free.

Aloha cuz! xoxoxoxo

[AngelaNanie]

I just heard this man's music for the first time on Youtube last week and I am so impressed and his music is so touching and even, inspirational. I love it!!!!

Those negative comments are rude and people have to remember, we are who we are, & some contribute more than others. It is apparent his music touched the hearts & souls of many people along with his passion.

[HotHawaiianNights808]

To have known this great soul leaves me

without words, just emotions.

He is and always will be a great man

with a humble heart and kind soul.

The voice of an angel......... xo

[brianeclus]

I love this song ... by HIM ... he was a gentle giant it seems and god bless him for leaving such a voice to hear

[AuauMesquita]

muito bom,esse cara é dez!!!

[feliciano808]

i love braddah iz bra he sing wit his heart and soul every time i hear his song itz like the old hawaii iz bak itz like he waz da last true hawaiian singer

[quickswitch30]

David13395 do you really nothing better to do then make fun of a legend because he has a disease that he could not control? Go get a life you sick fuck.

[dudemon27]

He died cuz he was too fat to breathe, its not some horrible disease he couldnt control, he was a fatty. But his music is amazing and hes really awesome...

[toobuku76]

@quickswitch30 - It's OK,. because people like IZ know the meaning of life unlike that unfortunate soul : )

[46818]

Helt grym kille trodde inte han skulle sjunga så fantastiskt. ge han en chans trodde alldrig jag skulle bli frälst .... haleluja!!!!!

[halabalo195]

hållkäft -.-

[46818]

Halabalo

Lär dig stava innan du gnäller. Hållkäft skivs med ett mellanslag imellan. typ så här:

HÅLL KÄFT. Men man kan väl inte begära så mycket från en snorig liten kille som du. eller?

[halabalo195]

stop writing in swedish in an english video,

and stop been such a jerk,

now go fuck yourself

[46818]

wooow du kan ju stava och till och med på Engelska, fan va jag blir impad. men ett tips

Yourself ska ha mellanslag mellan your self.

hihi

Och för er som inte kan läsa Svenska don´t read this message it´s only for stupide people like Halabalo.

[GnomelandSecurity]

You know, there are other languages than just English... Just because its English doesnt mean everyone needs to respond in English... Most other countries in the world teach English as a 2nd language... I know in Germany they teach it to kids in elementary (equivalent) and they speak it well enough when they are done.

[halabalo195]

yes i know there are other languages....it IS an english WEBSITE AND an ENGLISH VIDEO so you must speak english as evreyone understands,

i´m from sweden but i don´t speak swedish in a english video because i´m not an asshole

[halabalo195]

du skrev själv fel -.- håll käft jävla skit unge och skaffa ett liv

[chuxe4real]

i watched meet joe black and loved this song as it was played at the end montage...And now I'm just knowing who sang the song..So sad that he has passed on...

[TireX101]

hey come on stop picking on david he could have said it in a nicer way but he is right I love Iz and i was sad to learn that he died so early in life if only he could have controled his over eating he would be here today and what a wonderfull thing that would be merry christmass to all and a werry happy new year

[symphopiano]

Same for me.

I've just watched "finding forrester", with over the rainbow at the end.

But now i discover that he has passed out already ;-(

[dotty1549]

I've just watched the film Joe Black and have just realised how much i like this version of this song and also 'over the rainbow'. I have tracked it down, that is why am here today. I so sad to find he has died when i have just discovered his music. Bless

[david13395]

pa'a ka waha

[caedmeto]

R.I.P. IZ - The big Ukelele...

[hamburgistgut]

why the good humans have to die so young??

[david13395]

Another life cut short by Big Mac's and fries.

[samoansteeler36]

your going to be like that soon so you might want to shut the hell up. show the man respect he deserves it

[david13395]

I don't eat to many coconuts.... His fat ass does

[samoansteeler36]

just show him respect man he is a legend and either way as big as he is or not the guy still would have had a better life than you

[david13395]

[readygo242]

So hes a two hit wonder that covers other peoples music?

[ThatPrettyMuchSucks]

Ya, but he sings with a fat voice which sounds really cool. Too bad he died :(

[jewbagel19]

dont most ppl cover other ppls shit??? thought so this dude was the shit.

[asianboi8585]

if a song is great you don't need fancy musical tools.  just a simple 3 string will do.

[nessy191292]

what a wonderful version!

no that's not a ukulele.

Love  this version like Louis Armstrongs but Israel covers made me sad!

YES..that is a ukulele...!!!! See his other great songs...!!!
