this isn't the Judy Garland version, this is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's cover (or as someone put it 'bro iz the hawaiian guy'?). That's why there's a ukelele (and a bit more fast paced). That and apparently Matthew Morrison auditioned for Glee with this song (this version and all) and the show always tries to incorporate the songs the actors auditioned with into the show.
@Mia1Loves1You It is obvious that they are recreating the cover done by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole but this is only a cover. The actual version, the best one for me personally, is the first version. It was written by E.Y. Harburg and the music was by Harold Arlen. It was made for The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) and its first performer was Judy Garland.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Somewhere Over the rainbow/What a wonderful world is inspirational, to me at least. Sorry glee, maybe you shoulda just used the track for this one, or left it out. I may have faithfully downloaded every one of your other songs, but this one...I think I'll stick to Iz.
@Mia1Loves1You, this may be a little late and you may have already found it but you're thinking of Israel Kamakawiwo' Ole's version of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow.' One of my favorites. Enjoy. <3
@Mia1Loves1You I'm not sure, i think its elvis presley...., t the original doesn't sound like this, the stanza and bridge's tone is not the same as the glee's version... only the chorus
@RobHiroVidsLyrics and @Mia1Loves1You there's a version that was done that is a mix of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and What A Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. It's absolutly gorgeous:)
However I may be wrong on this, but I think it's from the Wizard of Oz:p
@RobHiroVidsLyrics OMG really Elvis Presley?? REALLY!!! its by Judy Garland O_O omg.. seriously.... yall seriously dont know who sings this song originally thats a real shame >_<
The Original singer of this particular version of the song is by a Hawaiian singer named Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole. That song though, is based on the song from the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz".
@Mia1Loves1You I'm sure this is quite late but I actually believe the original was by a man named Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole, not Elvis. It's quite easy to find here on the the tubes ^-^
@Mia1Loves1You the music is by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. It was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz, and was sung by Judy Garland in the movie.
@Mia1Loves1You Hey there, the real verson of Somewhere over the rainbow is from "OFFICIAL Somewhere over the Rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole" First thing u find when u seatch on youtube;b
Actually this song was originally written for a movie back in 1938. It was sung by Judy Garland in the movie "The Wizard of Oz". Music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg.
@Mia1Loves1You The "original" artist who sang this song first was Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz. It was written by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg.
If you are asking who was the one to start this version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, that would be Israel Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and it was a medley with What a Wonderful World.
@Mia1Loves1You it was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz, and was sung by Judy Garland, but one of the most famous version is from Israel karamawawo =)
@Mia1Loves1You It's from The Wizard of Oz, and originally sung by Judy Garland. It's true that a guy made a cover version with a ukulele, but that's not the original :)
@Mia1Loves1You@Mia1Loves1You It's from The Wizard of Oz, and originally sung by Judy Garland. It's true that a guy made a cover version with a ukulele, but that's not the original :)
@Mia1Loves1You Harold Arlen is the original artist...but it's been covered a million times. This version sounds very similar to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole cover of the song. Give it a listen and see what you think.
@Mia1Loves1You The original is from the Wizard of Oz and is sung by Judy Garland, but Eric Clapton's cover is one of the most popular covers of it and might be the one you're thinking of :)
@Mia1Loves1You Do you really not know what to do, to find out who is the original singer? Just write Over the rainbow and the name of the original singer comes up.
@katha17012000 I plan to watch (and listen) to the original version of this song (as well as the original version of "I Want to Hold to Your Hand") because the originals are a helluva lot better than the "Glee" versions.
I also find it frightening that a lot of commenters on this video do not that the original version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was sung by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz".
Awesome song
