  • This is the best rendition of O holy night...Love the way it is arranged, It just soothes me when I hear it. I agree, I have never heard anyone sing it like Willie K...Just Awesome!!!

  • There are only two songs that have ever moved me to tears. This one by Willie K and "Autumn Leaves" by Amy Hanaiali'i. Absolutely breathtaking. It reminds me of singing with my grandma. Especially in Hawaiian. Talk about a damn meltdown. LMFAO.

  • Thanks Willie, this song help us that have to live away from home. GOD BLISS.

  • Best Christmas song...Period...sorry Nat King Cole...your #2

  • This is the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. I love listening to Celine, Mariah and even Andrea Bocelli's versions, but Uncle Willie has the greatest natural and emotional performance ever recorded. He is a national treasure who has been recognized in Hawaii, but the rest of the country is missing out on one of it's best all round musicians.

  • Uncle Willie's version is so amazing!!! To the Ohana in Hawaii, Mele Kalikimaka! Listening to this song makes me miss home even more. Wishing you all a wonderful holidays!!!

    Love,

    Homesick in Washington

  • proud 2 be HAWAIIAN

  • totally agree with you ulenui808. always turn it up when it comes on the radio and it always brings tears to my eyes. you know he poured his whole heart into this song when he sang it...

  • No words can express what I feel when I hear this song and especially by Willie K...

    Grandious just Grandious...

  • Wille K and Celine Dion singing this song,now that"s X-MAS!!!!!!!!!

  • One of my all time favorite performers, he's brilliant and gifted, and we are blessed to be able to listen to him.

  • Thanks Willie K. Mesmerizing!

  • OMG,,,when he sings this song...gosh...chicken skin...what a wonderful strong voice..god bless him.

  • this is the best version of Oh Holy Night hands down :)

  • love his version of it

  • I first heard him sing this back in 1992-93 on a Christmas dinner cruise on the Stargazer I think, but anyway it touched my heart deeply in a way that I'll never forget.

  • I SAW HI SING THIS SONG IN MY FRIEND CHURCH IT WAS AWSOME NO ONE CAN SING THIS SONG BETTAH THEN HIM

  • I've always said that when God created this song, He had Willie K in mind..........God just let others sing it before him.

  • starker Sänger, starke Musik , auf Hawaii gibt es auch Weihnachten . Einfach Klasse

  • Awesome!

  • Best song ever..

  • he mele nani keia mele. ‘o ko‘u mele melekalikemaka mele punahele. hope that's right...

  • Great Christmas song. Love his strong voice! We'll definitely replay this one this Christmas. Brings joyful Christmas memories of the family here and of those that others that have moved on to live elsewhere with their love ones.  Will miss them this Christmas and esp our beloved ones that have passed... Fr.: Saipan, Northern Marianas

  • Absolutely beautiful. Thanks Willi K. Hopefully I will be back soon to see you on stage in Maui. gc

  • Excellent video. Mahalo nui loa. 

  • No singer in the world sings this song better than Uncle Willie K....NO ONE!!!

  • whenever I hear this rendition, tears roll down my cheeks.

    Willie is, IMHO, the best performer I've ever seen.

  • The first time I heard his rendition it was in person. It was the first time EVER that a song actually brought me to tears. And if you knew me you would know that is saying a LOT. Simply beautiful.

  • Absolutely the best! We are going to hear him sing tonight on da Big Island.

  • Not Generally a big fan of either Xmas songs or Religious Songs, but this version shivers me timbers. It brings me near to tears every time. The album has been out of print since the first year when willie and Kapena had a falling out of some sort. That's a loss to all. It's kind of Exciting to see it here.

  • Brilliant Version, the best tops all others, the guitar picking and ukulele players are brilliant as well...as are all the musos in this one.....If we could give him a medal we would.....

  • Da best rendition of my all-time favorite Christmas song...such an amazing voice!!!

  • are those the right lyrics? for YONDER breaks, not onward breaks, right. this is my favorite rendition, but the words make me stop and wonder......

  • Chicken Skin!

  • As a Christmas Carol this is in the same league as Nat King Cole and Brother Bing. Pavorotti and Domingo Strive for this range....I had a few and I'm a sensitive Haole ...but shit ...Genious.

  • Live in WA state for 3 years, this song always makes me feel like i'm back in Waimanalo during the holidays.

  • Wow! thanks for posting this one... I am liking this artist more and more each time I hear him...........

  • Bra...his voice is amazing...seriously... beautiful

  • To my Love Tissa Babauta she always loved this song

  • Best version of this song Ever! Never heard anyone top Willie K in singing O Holy Night. Singing the Hawaiian Version of this song makes it more spiritual and Awesome!!!!

  • On of my all time favorite songs! I love Willie K! This song soars!

  • decent. better than most other versions out there. it sounds cool in hawaiian, but the best version is the one done by placido domingo

  • love the pix...voice, too...natch!

  • He does, by far, the best version of this song. The Hawaiian version is awesome! Check it out!

  • Ultimately Awesome!!!!!!!

  • Such a pity that one cannot give a 7 star for rating :) I would do that! I listened a few hundred versions of this wonderful Xmas song, but this will be one of my most favourite ones - for sure!

  • Beautiful. thank you

  • I love his christmas album..loved it!

  • most beautiful! my favorite Christmas song...thank you Uncle Willie!

  • I commented on this ahhh...bout a year ago, Willie and Pavarotti would of been great. Listen his voice...tremendous!!! every year he makes me tear up...sister taken to young.

  • Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs - and by Willie K Wow! Wish I were at his concert in Kona tomorrow. Got to hear him live in Hilo though during the presidential campaign in 2008. In addition to some Hawaiian favorites, he sang opera. Amazing voice.

  • oh man i love this version its the best it just gives me chicken skin everytime i listen to it the best ever

  • I Love This Song!!! Especially This Rendition Of It!!! Honestly The Best!!!

  • Nobody can do it better than Uncle Willie!! This song never gets old.

  • beautiful song

    i can listen to it any time of the year

    absolutely breathtaking powerful mahalo for putting it on here

  • Mahalo nui loa...

  • I get goosebumps every time I hear him sing.. my first time hearing Uncle Wille K was at Hapas Brew Haus, probably march or so of 1994 or 1995. I wish I knew where to re-order his CDs, as I have pretty well worn mine out... Thanks for posting this. it brings back AMAZING memories...

  • As great as this studio recording sounds, it doesn't compare to his incredible live performance. His  voice is touched by angels.

  • @kitmangore

    absolutely true!!

  • I was on the big island in April for the first time and fell in love with hawaiian style music. I have always been a big fan of christmas music so this combination is like nirvana to me. Where can I find the lyrics? I sing this in english now and would like to learn this version.

  • No matter how many times I hear this song by Uncle Willie, it gets me every time.

    It brings back memories of my childhood when I'd wake up on Christmas morning and my mom would have this blaring in the stereo. She's long since departed this world, but the memory still lives every time I hear this.

    Mahalo ke Akua. E na po'e o ka honua, e nana ka maka o ke ola hou o Kristo!

    Ae! E hele mai a Iesu!

  • Thanks UleNui. Love Willie K! Willie, along with Iz, Dennis Pavao and Gabby, are my favorite male Hawaiian singers....

    I also like the voice of my grandma's cousin, Alfred Apaka. :)

  • i had the opportunity to hear this live @ turtle bay this past december...he's awesome!

  • He is one of kind. fa sure

  • Why, oh why doesn't the world know about Willie K.?

  • if this doesn't make ya cry, you ain't human. I knew his dad, uncle manu, he was a fine musician also.... BUT THIS IS THE FINEST SONG ABOUT CHRIST I HAVE EVER HEARD, CHRISTMAS OR ANY OTHER DAY PRAISE AKUA

  • Maika'i! 5 stars***** very beautiful.... it moves me everytime..... no matter how many times i listen to it! Aloha!

  • has to be the best christmas song ever Mele Kalikimaka uncle willie

  • unko willie is da real deal kuz.

  • The best version ever. Mahalo Willie. Your song always brings tears to my eyes.

  • Mahalo Nui Loa for adding this!!! I lived there for more than half my life since I was born. Miss it lots, mahalo for this vid. Do you have the whole lyrics for this?

  • MAHALO NUI for this.... i miss Maui...lived ther 6 years on lahainaluna street.

  • Mahalo Nui for posting this song. I saw him perform this live at the Na Leo Christmas concert this past year and I cried when he sang this song because he held nothing back when he sang and it was real deal, the recording is pwerful in itself but to hear it live. . .shi shi your pants kine, and you could feel him sing this song, not just hear but feel what he felt when he sang. Phenominal sogn by a Phenominal singer.

  • greatest chistmas song ever.

    i been searching for this song forever, mahaloz for posting it

  • Aloha Willie K.. when this song came out years ago, it was my favorite Xmas song. My son Isanti would sing it to me every holiday and it would bring tears to my eyes. this is still my favorite Xmas song! Your voice is so powerful! but still the voice of an angel!

    Mahalo!!!!

  • Mahalo for sharing, UleNiu808! I've heard Willie sing this 100+ times, and each time brings chicken skin & tears to my eyes. His true, pure vocal range is incredible. His redition of 'Oh Holy Night' proves to be the best; There are no comparisons. For those who are not familiar with Willie K...if you EVER get the chance to see him in your area (yes, he does visit the Mainland!) please do! His talent is not only in his voice, but his guitar playing will too leave you in awe. Mahalo nui loa!

  • Agree.
