Amazing video! Thanks so much for posting! Jim Henson will alway live within our memory and our imaginations.

[MrJosho428]

Jim Henson was a hero yet a good friend to everyone. His creations like The Muppets and Sam and Friends made a true difference. Jim Henson made a true difference. He was my hero and he made me keep believing. So keep believing and never give up. RIP Jim Henson. He will be truly missed yet loved forever.

[spiderlover678]

Such a great guy...wish he were still alive today.

[animalccf]

[ShumadijskiKonji]

WHAT ??!! 7 PEOPLE HERE IS DEAF OR IDIOTS..?? I CAN BELIEVE THAT IS SOMEONE WHO DISLIKE HENSON AND MUPPETS??/!! MORONS.. UP THE HENSON AND MUPPETS!!! CHEERS EVRYONE!

[allijo514]

Love it....Muppets were a HUGE part of my childhood. I remember being 6 and breaking my mom's heart by asking for a store-bought Kermit and Miss Piggy cake from a local bakery (she'd handmade my cakes up until then). I love the picture of the Electric Mayhem, but the one that still tears me up is the very last one, the B&W silhouette of Jim Henson and Kermit. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

[fredlunau]

Wow - what a fabulous tribute. You did a marvelous vocal and instrumental job!! Thanks - Jim Henson deserved nothing less.

[angiehewerdine]

Thats toutching Jim would of loved it!

[trentwood2000]

@angiehewerdine Thanks! I would like to think so, as well.

[Minna43]

I Love this song by Kermit....lol.... I'm older than dirt but so young at heart....and they say we're as old as we want be and I'm plenty young...lol....I'll always keep believing and dreaming....someday I'll find it, a rainbow connection...=)

[staciejwill]

amazing video! brought me to tears! rip jim.....

[trentwood2000]

@staciejwill Thanks! It was a bit hard to sing at parts just because of my respect for him and the way the song was written. The words really hit home for me.

[WHUFC71]

What an awesome tribute...Fantastic.

[trentwood2000]

@WHUFC71 Thanks!

[puppyluvr10100]

you song just like kermit :)

[greatgentre]

Jim Henson the original Muppet! We miss you!

[EarleyDaysYet]

That's beautiful. I love The Muppets - brings a smile to my face every time.

[kustang99]

i just found out he died now im crying

[ofp857smith]

Fantastic song!

[waxman80014]

If he had only gone to the Dr he might be alive today!

[trentwood2000]

@waxman80014 The saddest thing is that he simply didn't want to be a burden on anyone, which is why he didn't seek medical help. Such a humble individual...

[walkforallseasons1]

@waxman80014 He did go to the doctor. They sent him home.  I believe He died that night.

[ninjaairman11]

The voice is a tad deep but then again only Kermit can do Kermit. This is a darn good tribute.

[trentwood2000]

@ninjaairman11 Thanks!

[noobsaibot25]

to the 7 MORON'S who don't like this .. i've got 2 Word's for U 

GO AWAY !!1

[melanie9800]

i love this!!!! thankx 4 muppets!!!!!!

[TheTobias8]

Thank you Jim Henson!!! U are truly missed!!!!!!

[cha5]

Any Jim Henson fans who are up in NYC really need to go see an essential exibit on Jim and his Muppets at The Museum of The Moving Image up in Queens NYC, It's truly beautiful.

[girgirl99]

i'm only twelve, but my family has grown up with the muppets and classic sesame street. my mother tells me about seeing the original commercials with the first kermit. Rest In Peace, Jim Henson. I hope you're making the angels laugh

[jeffpearljam1976]

What are childhood memories without the muppets.

[leech2008]

@jeffpearljam1976 They're empty is what they are.

[Spockasia]

Really good.

[3Duglydollz]

this made me cry

[DinoJake]

Nice Kermit impression.

[trentwood2000]

@DinoJake Thanks!!

[ShadowDancer00]

I wasn't born when Henson died but I grew up on a lot of old sesame street with kermit and the muppet movies and reruns of the muppet show. Now i'm in college and when I listen to this song I start to cry because I feel like I lost a friend. I know that sounds stupid but there was such an honosty that Jim brought through especially through Kermit that couldn't be replaced.

[madamekelli]

what 2 cruel people would dislike this video

[trentwood2000]

@madamekelli No clue. People are people, I suppose.

[WaldoHandFord]

@madamekelli Waldorf and Stantler. Who else?

[southpark3003]

Am I the only one who tried to hold back from bawling through the entire song?

[KurosakisTwin]

Henson's creations are even inspiring a new generation.

[shanetruth1970]

A Lovely Tribute. We Are ALL Dreamers.......

[SEFYH]

This is probably one of the BEAUTIFUL tributes to Mr. Henson I've seen in a long time. That last last pic really did sum it up best. Jim Henson was the breath, heart and soul of Kermit the frog. I remember when hearing about the passing of Jim Henson. I almost felt that part of Kermit as we knew him died as well. No disrespect to the current voice of Kermit, but it just hasn't been the same since.

God bless you Jim Henson and thanks for sharing your gifts with the world!

[r81557]

very nice you did a great job

[nona2kay8]

WHO DISLIKES THIS?



[hsiunghsd36bcca]

Don't want to leave, but we both know

Sometimes it's better to go.

Somehow I know, we'll meet again,

Not sure quite where and I don't know quite when.

You're in my heart, so until then,

wanna cry...wanna smile...

Saying goodbye... - The Muppets Take Manhattan

[TherealRNO]

@hsiunghsd36bcca: Or use "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" (Sesame Street), "I Will Go Back There Someday" (The Muppet Movie), "Just a Dream Away" (Fraggle Rock), etc.

[Susan8115]

Although Jim is gone, he has left us an unforgettable legacy in the form of Kermit and friends.

[chaosguy29]

"Life is meant to be fun, and joyous, and fulfilling. May each of yours be that - having each of you as a child of mine has certainly been one of the good things in my life. Know that I've always loved each of you with an eternal, bottomless love. A love that has nothing to do with each other, for I feel my love for each of you is total and all-encompassing. Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it." - Jim Henson

[KrisinIA]

Thank you for the lovely tribute. It was just what I needed to see today. Great job!

[trentwood2000]

@KrisinIA Thanks!

[bcoffin12345]

This was just wonderful. In other news, I really, REALLY need to stop watching heart-rending videos about Jim Henson.

[trentwood2000]

@TIMESWORDSMAN Thank You Very Much! I just do what I do and hope it turns out well.

[DannyLovesOregon]

We all miss you Jim Henson

[MasterKittyKat]

I miss him!

[LOLGmod]

That last picture made me cry because Jim Henson was not only an icon, or a master. But also a friend in our heart. RIP

[trentwood2000]

@LOLGmod Yeah... When I was searching for pics to use, that one really got me too.

[LOLGmod]

@trentwood2000 You know what? I didn't like that video at all... I LOVED IT :)

[LOLGmod]

RIP Jim Henson Say hi to Steve Jobs for me :')

[durango2008]

@LOLGmod

I would not compare Jim Henson to Steve Jobs

[ChannelUmptyThree]

Still missed. See you on the other side of the rainbow Jim

[ChannelUmptyThree]

1:14 Is that a young Jim Henson and a young Frank Oz?

[trentwood2000]

@ChannelUmptyThree Why, yes it is!

[EricMontreal22]
