jason mraz - rainbow connection

[jssnts740]

PM12345PM

You are an asshole

[hollynn1981]

He has such a beautiful voice but No he's not Kermit

[MarriedToScience]

REPLAY 0:24 (:

[racheldwrigt86]

Im an avid muppet fanatic! I think kermit would be honored.

[JBDanceUntilTomorrow]

Killing It Kermit is better -.-

[jack69ist]

I like this song but it would been great if Kermit join Jason here

[HouseofFlipFlop]

HE LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT LINE IN THE SONG!!! AH!!

First Chorus: "So we've been told and some choose to believe it, but I know they're wrong, wait and see." Without that line the song doesn't make sense. C'mon, for as good of a lyricist as he is this is a big oversight.

And he kinda looks and sounds like he's constipated...

[loveislouder1234]

@Nemisis7293 I really hope you fall in a well and can't get out

[loveislouder1234]

@megagedrits It's not like you could actully do that

[megagerdts]

Just sing the melody, Jason. We know you can sing. Just sing the fucking melody for once.

[Sharp2904]

dont be haters be lovers!!! love this song, jason mraz and kermit and i cant wait till the new muppet movie and yes i am a teen but you can never grow up to slowly.

[wiecek13]

good but the weezer and hayley williams cover is still the best

[disneychika06]

this is my husband. :) lol

[krosUrgewalt]

Too pretentious to be enjoyable

[predoje]

Im not interestin in your talking...next time dont talk, sing!

[Nemesis7293]

A decent vocal performance, but an obscene butchering of the lyrics and structure of the song. If you're not going to "do" the song....why do the song???

[ImagineRevolution64]

@Nemesis7293 That's the point of a cover. You can rearrange, resing, and make it your own.

[Nemesis7293]

@ImagineRevolution64 In other words, a "cover" gives you a license to rape a song? Which is what happened here, lets not kid ourselves.

[ImagineRevolution64]

@Nemesis7293 How was this a rape? He sang it nicely, played wonderfully, and he felt what he was playing. I seriously hate it when people are way to loyal to the original. If you find the original best, don't go and troll covers.

[orangesimmer214]

@Nemesis7293 what i've always heard is that a cover is someone taking a popular song (or unpopular song, for that matter) and changing it a little to fit their style of singing... even if it doesn't say that this is a cover, it's pretty easy to assume seeing how it's not exactly like the song. If you're not going to "appreciate" the song, why listen to it???

[jediewok16]

Mmm...bit breathy, not bad. 

[schclum]

oh wow, i wasnt expecting him to oversing it. (sarcasm)

[clanpsi]

This just isn't the same without a Banjo.

[powermonkey87]

I love thi.. I love jason!

[herokidoa]

To those who hate. The dislike bar is no different than your p.... oh wait, its suppose to be a kiddy song.

[gridbiterr]

...i think it sounds nice.

[creativeusername48]

such a beautiful song :)

[SchmoozyQ88]

This has got to be the smarmiest "Look at me!" cover of this song I've ever seen. Mraz comes off as a total prick performing this. The 30-second talking intro alone made me want to punch him in the face. Now I need to go find a different version just to get this dipwad out of my head.

[suppermick]

@SchmoozyQ88 I agree. Fucked up the chords AND he left out an entire section of the lyrics.

[battuy]

aww he is so cute......

and his voice is so incrediable...!

[Paccei]

You people are crazy. This cover is GREAT. Yeah, maybe he didn't sing the entire song, but it sounds AWESOME.

[bsfilippi]

JASON MRAZ IS A GOOD SINGER

[iloveyou123123412345]

How could people not like this? Like honestly, I love BOTH versions. Kermit will always be the original, but is it so bad for someone to play a cover? Both versions bring different, yet good characteristics to the table. No need to hate!

[shadowlotus91]

IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM SINGING THIS SONG THEN DONT ATCH OR POST A NEGATIVE COMMENT!!!!! GO WATCH MY TRAM EXPERIENCE, I THINK THAT SHE'S YOU'R GRANDMA!!!!! SO BEAT IT!!!!!!

[jrdorsz]

HE DOESNT EVEN SING THE COMPLETE SONG!!!! UGH!

[AngeliniMeataballa]

He has a lovely voice, but I agree that "the frog does it better." XD

[saintsrowboy123]

even though i don't know you i officially hate you..... ONLY KERMIT THE FROG CAN PLAY AND SING THIS SONG! I don't care how good you sing! Whenever you sing this i hate you!

[213andrei]

@saintsrowboy123 he's just trying to revive this song whats ur problem

[m0urningwerw0lf371]

Ok, that was beside the point. I think he did a very good job. It doesn't matter who did it better. This song inspired him, and he's giving back by doing a good cover of it.

[m0urningwerw0lf371]

The background should be a swamp, not random clouds.

[Potts875]

Wonderul, but cut your nails Mr. Mraz!

[WaddleBuff]

@Potts875 Your crazy! You can't fingerpick without long nails! D:

[TomWaggle]

@WaddleBuff dude I do it just fine without nails...I actually hate the feeling of my nails hitting the string

[WaddleBuff]

@TomWaggle Well, every man to himself. I can't imagine fingerpicking without nails. :3

[saintsrowboy123]

@WaddleBuff It isn't as hard as you think... once you get used to it of course! lol

[ddfermaint]

Ditto!

[julianarjun]

I don't think people get it. Jason isn't trying to show he's better or anything then Kermit, he's just trying to show that he respects and loves the song. I love Jason Mraz, Kermit, and this song:D

[Musicpuzzle]

@julianarjun agreed. Sometime a tribute is exactly that, a tribute to the one that inspired "the lovers and dreamers" in all of us.

[JonMichael1087]

Kermit did it wayyy better

[ghrpdx]

I'll have to admit, the frog does it better.

[Rock2112nrollrebel]

Kermit is the only one who should sing this song... sorry Jason

[relix7373]

eh, Kermit's still better

[casalej]

i've never really heard any jason mraz and maybe this is why...he's just not any good

[jhouwen]

One of my favorite songs :)

[BadLuck765]

Agree with the "trying too hard" comments. Mraz, you're a giant D-bag, but usually you can sing well enough. You totally missed the point of this song, though.

[no1cp]

Well... hello 240p, we meet again.

[TuPodcast]

@no1cp oh come on sheldon shut up!

[TheMidnightToker0]

@no1cp well.... hello overused joke, we meet again

[ChurchofPirateology]

Not as good as the frog... sorry Jason but you tried too hard... and ruined it...

[ttintagel]

@ChurchofPirateology Well, nobody's as good as the frog!

[sonofabsting]

i love jason mraz, and i love this song, but i think he is jazzing it up a wee bit too much

[noahnorton92]

His high notes are just perfect :)

[autoclav3]

Mraz trying too hard. i prefer the frog.

[espeonfive]

I love Jason mraz. And I love the muppets. Perfect combination. :)

[Lostinpanama]

KERMIT"S BETTER :<(

[addicted2rtv1]

release this on radio...it's time for rainbow connection to come back :)

[Cesca0408]

I don't really like this song, but Jason brings it to another level. Good job!

[BrothaEsau]

Yo! Thumbs up for jason wearing a pink rick springfield shirt.... lol that just makes this song even more amazing lol

[TheTina508]

Jason did a good job, but Kermit does it better 

[kennylau2010]

Dislike this and you will see a lightsaber.

[A13XR1DDL3]

Jason, you have a lovely voice. But Kermit does it better.

[reheffy]

is it me or is he stoned at the beginning of this?

[glwsn]

it troubles me that this has more views than the original :(

[gski88]

@glwsn who did the original for this song?

[glwsn]

@gski88 omg..

[BrothaEsau]

@gski88 LOL are you serious ? live under a rock? or just a bieber fan?

[kilogre116]

@glwsn I feel your pain.

[chrisvlad2005]

Love Kermit!!!!



[Clare1227]

obbviously he's flying. look at the clouds

[Clare1227]

the clouds are distracting.

[rebornconnection]

I am team Kermit!

[KymKearney]

WOW! Awesome

[hawkesbayboy1]

i have always loved the kermit version but your take on the song was very good too. well done. i wish i could play the guitar.

[cutechloe8]

Why are both top comments by the same person???

[joetri10]

@cutechloe8 why not :3

[peregrinef17]

Beautiful.. But still like Kermit's version.

[WilbertVereAwdry]

Cue a Rainbow Dash reference somewhere.

[uvasvineras]

he looks so high

[ick491]

Hate the sky behind...but LOVEEE HIM!!!!...

[jpbshsu]

Ruins my childhood fav...

[Darrenov]

Take one of the classic songs of all time, copy it, overcook it, wear a hat and make it sound mediocre. Stick to your own stuff son, don't mess with the classics, you aren't ready for that.

[Michelle305786]

I really love this song



[LifeNotRules]

That was an overly aggressive intro for such a chill song.

[greyisokay]

at 1:57, he kind of sounds like the singer of NeverShoutNever

[ucg19]

[Kaytesuperponyclub]

[himynamelscolin]

[GenoCapaldi]

[Pinkstarclan]

your voice....is just......*voice-gasm*

[GypsySoulx]

brought here by the nard dog.. and im glad, badass song

[silenframe]

DOUBLE RAINBOW???? LOL

[CVZemo]

How great is Jason Mraz at every song ever?

I sure hope Jason Segel sings this in the new Muppet Movie!

[SuperHockeygoalie]

I think he did a good job. But kermit the frog didnt give him the rights to anybody to sing this song :/

[scheps10]

he missed a verse and the awesome part after the second chorus. what a faggot.

[fixiemusic]

oh god this song is so beautiful :D

[flowerly23]

beautiful!

[SteinaIcelander]

I thought I was gonna hate this but this is beautiful! Just found my new favourite :)

[edwardconway27]

what a shit man singin' this amazing songs -_-

[bill61570]

I'm speechless....Jason Mraz just always leaves me watching in awe of his amazing talent. He is so poignant and drives the emotion to the max in every song he sings. It's nice to see this song revived and takes me back to when i was 9 and saw The Muppet Movie in the theater and immediately fell in love with this song.

[BlondeBYUBabe]

I love this song so much! And I love this cause this is the first version I've found that didn't sound like a hick singing it. I love this! I also love Jason Mraz's voice in this. I've heard some of his other songs which are good, but in this his voice is a lot more subtle and sweet. He took out a lot of the styling (still had some though) I think overall this was a job well done. Way to go Jason Mraz! :)

[followyourbliss101]

jason must be a rick springfield fan? tshirt.....

[NAIVEPIER]

@TB163: yes

[NAIVEPIER]

nice peter from the vlog of carl shaytard brought me here

[TB163]

@NAIVEPIER That was nice peter playing the guitar and singing at shay's house in yesterday's video? Where he starts with a song about Malachi, the 'big dog'?

[SarahBrookeWilliams]

andy bernard brought me here

[albertaberg]

@SarahBrookeWilliams Me too, not to excited about his falsetto version though...

[luvkeira]

This is a pleasure to my ears.

[bballchey]

anyone eles thinks he is kinda cute

[bballchey]

love this song

[smileitsgudforu]

his voice is sooo hypnotizing

I LUV IT !!

[LaughJay]

His hats are gay

[mortenheide]

@LaughJay how mature...

[solracaraca]

@LaughJay Yet they attract a shitload a girls

[nguyenvung87]

[icetea261291]

[xTogetherInParis]

[AndYouWouldBeWhom]

He has an amazing voice :3

[kikitikiboom]

He's so amazing at singing and so adorably stuttery when talking! Love him love him love him love him love him!

[singingsoul007]

His voice is sooo clean!! i am singing this song at the minute!! <3 Check out my vids on my channel!! x

[Eduardo10390]

i totally expect jason mraz to sing cover songs about pirates and rainbows while wearing a pink shirt

[coexist95]

@Eduardo10390 Pirates?

[mapko217]

Той е много сладък! Дали той гей?

[alfers1985]

Is it me or did he change the lyrics?

[coexist95]

@alfers1985 He left a verse or two out. Didn't change any lyrics.

[bballchey]

[STARRIDERben]

Peaceful



[guhdhoos]

Cute :)

[NoCommentOlivia]

I love Mraz(:

[rdangelo]

Did some producer or manager tell him to smile crookedly or something? Is that supposed to give him character?

[MIRASQWX]

Karen Carpenter's song.

[clloee]

This song is better sung by Kermit T. Frog.

[cleeprevo]

I'm just chillin', listening to the song end and i'm feeling great, then all of a sudden... LOUD RANDOM OUTRO. Total mood killer...

[jiminhno]

Great version of a song I remember as a kid well done mate

[charlibrown87]

[AndThenThereWere11]

@charlibrown87 this is actually a paul williams song

[charlibrown87]

[mhoney72]
