Stan Walker Hallelujah with Judges comments and BIO

[melsolecki]

how can you NOT appreciate this.. legend!!

[kimic127]

I agree with the judges, that low register of his was weirrrrrd i actual thought that someone was being stupid and had slowed down the vid lol BUT before y'all go on hatin on me much love for the man! its awesome that ppl are still talking about this 3 years later :)

@tarangitaupito aloha nui loa ia 'oe e hoahanau no Hawai'i :) malama pono ! aroha nui ki a koe e te kaihana no Hawaiki - tika tonu!

[TheRedParallel]

lol there's been 3 "Hallelujah" performances on ALL international idols. Out of these 3 performances, each performer WON the title of that season haha. Theory: If you sing Hallelujah you have a 100% of winning the competition.

[ZdawgTekaniux]

Stan you are awesome , you have become, my idol , and many others too. ! God Bless <3

Your voice is obviously touched by angels. ya pro. tino ataahua Stan the man Walker<3

Arohanui Cav &Zhontee

[sweetguy814u]

im sorry i misunderstood i never read it properly i admit it was my mistake.

[tarangitaupito]

@sweetguy814u Im sorry I wasn't clear in my comment. and I would like to apologize to any of the kiwi kuzzins who may have gotten offended especially by my recent responses. I gave in to what people say to effect me, in a way that I was not comfortable with..I have much love for our kuzzins from the South of the Pacific....Aloha mai nona mea no apau!

[NkTakZ]

@tarangitaupito much aroha to you kuzz, appreciate the tautoko (support)

[tarangitaupito]

malakhi5 can you delete my comment because everyone is getting confused...Especially when I said from Hawaii..I forget not everyone understands olelo Hawaii...Its our grammer that is stating that the Aloha from Hawaii is being sent to Stanly Walker, not that Stan is from Hawaii, that we in Hawaii are sending Aloha pili mau amau to Stan. so malakhi5 can you please delete the above comment...Thank You and I hope you can understand what im saying.

[sweetguy814u]

@tarangitaupito sorry man didnt mean anything by it i justdidnt understand and must of misread my mistake.

[tarangitaupito]

to malakhi5 who posted this video, i would like to apologize for my offensive replies on here, but some of these guyz can't understand that im sending alohaz to stan, meaning im from hawaii sending alohaz to stan, not that he is from Hawaii, so no offense to you, but to these guyz who are not being cool, they couldn't understand a damn thing i was saying. so big heaps of aloha to malakhi5 for posting this video and to stan much ke aloha nui hoolealea ana mai.

[tarangitaupito]

Its my fault for paying attention to the few...and allowing it to affect me...Sweet Jesus I need your strength to help me not give in to the rudiments of the world... Sorry to anyone who mayget offended by my response to the few...I know he is not from Hawaii, I meant to say the Pili aloha is from Hawaii... That we in Hawaii love Stan too....E kala mai ia'u, E Kala mai oe ia'u.

[sweetguy814u]

your an idiot mate thinking that stan walker comes from hawaii. he come from rotoroa island which is in new zealand that makes him a kiwi maybe u should go back to school and learn about difference between new zealand and hawaii and where they r on the map. he was born in australia

[tarangitaupito]

@sweetguy814u another dumb shit, can't even understand that i've acknowledge him being from new zealand, you are a stupid dip shit, i've been a fan of stan for a long while, to know that he is from new zealand, your an ass hole, go to school and get some damn education.

[tarangitaupito]

@sweetguy814u so if you can't understand im saying aloha from hawaii, to stan from hawaii, not that he is from hawaii, the aloha im giving is coming from hawaii, damn ass hole

[mrbleetbleet]

hahaha hes ma cuzzie

[Pe2ni]

truely god has bleesed him! and all of us with his talent! GB everybody!

[Milkmaul20]

at 2:47 fuck thats amazing. awesome awesome

[Alvie5]

amazing, he would definately top american idol if he was in america. I didnt even like the American Idol this year........great version of a great sonG.

[AngelsEssence777x]

Bro!! That is the meanest ever!! You are awesome!! :)

[Luvisacrime48]

"i dont roll by myself, we roll together" <3

[furiouslyFLY]

wicked shiz!!!! do'z it maori boy

[fob4evas]

this nearly made me cry watching it.you did it so gracefully and im proud of you!

[Imakiwigirlcheeea]

Best cover yet!

[StaceySue61]

I love Bon Jovi's version of this but I have to say, you blew me away! You are amazing!!!!! I look forward to more from you!

[tonyg949]

goose bumps - great voice

[ryanw1pool]

3:30 on is pure genius. Absolutely genius. I have to agree the lower register is just not there but the finish was great

[gangstah321]

if i was in the crowd i woulda told that bald guy to get a haircut .

[Sh0ked]

Awesome guy, Awesome voice

[leoruoska]

Hahaa I didn't know this guy from anywhere else and got youtube suggested to this from watching some guitar stuff. I wasn't paying attention to the guy's name. So when at 6:59 some girl waves a black sign with red text on it, for a moment I thought it read "SATAN SATAN"..

[oscar197205]

i still havent heard any pure genius like stan since his time on idol. Your voice is amazing.

[waimanukartus]

fucking kool mean maori mean

[orangebowl79]

Best version of this song I heard was by lee Dewyze, This guy blows singing this song.

[honeybee027]

because he is christian he changed "well i heard that there was a God above"

to "well i know that there is a God above"

[manydman]

Lol listen to this version from those Scandinavian guys or from the program "De beste zangers van Nederland" by artist Nick

[Joliie]

@manydman I agree, his voice is a bit to dark for this song, the one with the 4 Norwegians is great and have to say the one from Nick isn't bad either. Tina Dico sings it in danish, pretty damn good too ;)

[SutherlandEntCentre]

Stan is headlining the Storylines night at Sutherland Entertainment Centre on Friday 5 August. ph 0295218888 for tickets...he may be doing this very song!

[fourizzy]

love his voice and hes gorgeous!



[loveyoutumblr]

love him , makes nz and all maori proud(: x

[bas5555illing]

2:09 to skip to song ;)

[SaphyrixKaiari]

@bas5555illing No offence...but why would you wanna skip it.....? We find out where our STAN is from..AOTEAROA !!

[jlopianist]

on replay .. im in love ... omg

[jlopianist]

omg im in love with his voice ... amazingly wonderful

[ryanw1pool]

the judges were 100% right about the 1st half, just didnt do it for me but the 2nd half was world class and see why he won it all, way to go man Stan

[hayanne1010]

This stiiiiiiill gives me goosebumps! Gooaaaaaah he's AMAZING!!!!

[saturnthunder]

I usually track back in music when reflecting on my life and usually it is older rather than contemporary artists .Stan Walker is one of those anomalies however, and this song is one of those clear musical memories. Thanks to Australian Idol and Stan of course.

[thagr8one2]

So sad that judge JD died, he definately knew what he was talking about.

[TataBoxes]

Wasn't sure at the beginning... but the first "hallelujah" was hook line and sinker for me...Goosebumps all over.

[cunnamullafalla]

What a gorgeous young man, just so sweet, unaffected and incredibly talented. Good on his parents for raising such an amazing child and may all his dreams in life come true...

[cutephoebe600]

i think im in love....

[raulito1994]

oh and he sounds like Leonard Cohen in the beggening.... but i agree SOUNDS WAY BETTER when he does him. -you could tell from the first hallalujah

[anauland]

farh bro, I'm nothing compared to you :(

Your AMAZING ♥♥

[katielove096]

[jacobianstangirl]

[FetalMunkMusic]

@RANDIMHAVOC2011. Learn your culture. He is a Maori. They are a warrior tribe from New Zealand. You can tell if you watch his audition video. They show him doing the Maori war dance for a couple seconds.

[redhugh123]

he sings low in the first bit cause he is creating dynamics..

[redhugh123]

he sings low in the first bit cause he is creating dynamics..

[oshynsuade]

hahahaha come too nz all the cuzzies hea sound like that.......even the islanders hea are friking great singers



[RANDIMHAVOC2011]

this nigger gots da mad skills gives me goosebumps.

[Limbongsimjun]

Great and well done!!! Like this.... ... And finished with fucking perfect emotion.... :)

[sirsaiyuki7]

mean maori mean

[AazrBro]

i think how he started low was good as it allowed his voice to raise and explode out from that deep place into a high heavenly place. though i do agree that his words are more mumbled down there. best cover i think i've ever heard

[tarangitaupito]

Love you stan, the man, from Hawaii, E pili mau me oe. wish he could have competed in the American Idol, he would have blown them all away, not to offend anyone, thats just my on Humble opinion. he really is gifted. wish he could sing in Hawaii.

[xWiiTNeSs]

[tarangitaupito]

@xWiiTNeSs mahalo for verifying that, I meant to say, much pili mau me oe from Hawaii, not that braddah is from Hawaii, I understand bro is straight from the eyelanz of Aotearoa. much Aloha to Stan From Hawaii, and to you xWiiTNeSs

[GNRJONES]

[yOunOitm8ey]

@GNRJONES You are not reading the comment properly

He is saying

[tarangitaupito]

@yOunOitm8ey, OMG Thanks for understanding what I was saying... my email is getting slammed by the Maori kuzzins...I must be crazy stupid...that no one could understand me...and your just the special few...Im more piss that I allowed it to affect me in a vulgar way...Im speaking like all of them now...damn Sorry Stan...and to Whom ever may get offended...but these kiwi kuzzins are blastin...my email out of this universe...so once again..Mahalo for understanding me...E pili no!

[joshboyle127]

@tarangitaupito fucking idiot hes a new zealander retard

[tarangitaupito]

@joshboyle127 you must be stupid, thats what im saying jack ass i can only be so nice for so long, must be 1 dumb preschooler, who can't even understand what the hell i wrote, dumbass, I know he is not from hawaii, and im happy for that ass hole.

[tarangitaupito]

@joshboyle127 you dumb ass, im a fan from hawaii, who is sending some aloha from hawaii to stan, if you no can understand, if you read more carefully its the aloha that is coming from hawaii to stan not that stan is from hawaii, the aloha is coming from hawaii, to stan, stupid dip shit. i have heaps of aloha for the kuzzies in aotearoa! but dumb asses like you make it hard to keep the aloha real.

[tarangitaupito]

Love you stan, the man, from Hawaii, E pili mau me oe.

[fangs43]

[iClutchYouCry]

[TheSqueakus]

[kurtis1246]

Hes has done this himself, he is a happy guy who enjoys life who has a kind heart and has been singing nearly his whole life god was mearly just watching over him all the sound you hear is from within stan and him believing in himself. Very amazing and unique singer and person.

[FasilDereje10]

15 people are haters.

[jaypee415]

[uwansamoa]

This Stan has got major vocal skills.. Praise Jesus..

[anauland]

@uwansamoa amen. lol

[furiouslyFLY]

@uwansamoa jebbers haha

[mscumback1]

I love the way he lifts his hands to God ....AWESOME

[jawaswotsch]

god bless Elvis and Stan.

[hatzi11]

3.30 - 3.50 wow if GOD had a voice it would sound like that... I'm in awe every time i listen to this song and especially that part. Stan is an angel sent from heaven to free us with his voice! and i am proud to say that i have listened and advise the rest of you to do the same!

[pierre777able]

@hatzi11 ...funny that you should say that... he came to our church yesterday - part of his testimony is that he had God say to him "I will use you to woo people back to me.." and, having heard him live now, I can see that...

[laurynhenry1]

he has the best voice 

[Erika1980galanta]

Try - Takács Nikolas - Tonight is the night, or X-faktor hungary - Takács Nikolas Purple rain, thank you

[GreatBigBagOfDouche]

I like Stan. Hes an amazing singer.

But i really dont like what he did to this song. It loses its spine shivering feeling when you put an RnB twist on it.

[djhyr0]

2:48..butter

[gossipahemxoxo]

Sounds just like the cd. Amazing. Make us maoris proud stan(:

[Erika1980galanta]

Hello, he is great, but click on - hallelujah Nikolas Takacs - he is one of the best!!!!

[johnnyz101]

@Erika1980galanta are u serious? usually i dnt go and waste my time on ppl like u, suggesting others but i thought i'd try... AND HOW SHIT IS THAT GUY! ppl dnt waste your time! U SUK!

[knottyboy20]

[knottyboy20]

glad god blessed such a humble guy with this voice

[leonscorpio19]

[elyankeeponceno07]

HE MAKES ME CRY!! THAT IS WHAT IM CALL A GREAT PERMORMANCE

[skippershand]

i don't like his way he sings the low notes in the start, rest was pure perfection, even though in music no one is perfect..

[bjjpath]

@skippershand I think he pays a nice homeage to Leonard Cohen and then puts his spin on it at 3:15 onward.

[tioirangi]

god hes awesome

[MrLPMarkus]

He sounds like a Maori even though he lived in Oz.

[Ppine321]

thats the best singin i eva heard and i shed a tear listening to that fuk love the shit take that to mah grave

[stanozfan]

eeeaten.....It is not about the religion. It is about relationship. The bad ones are not God but it is our flesh. I have experienced how God is so real. Only when we submit that we can experience. It's sort of a personal experience. And it's sad how mankind kill each other taking the name of God. I choose to believe in HIm or Her (lol). There is nothing to lose but a lot to gain. At least it gives me peace in mind, that I am not all alone in this world. lol.......it's nice to feel that way..xoxo

[eeeaten]

i think i'm the only retardless poster here. why am i here again? oh yes, to tell you there is no god. c'mon people: no santa, no god. it's that simple.

[Leylify]

@eeeaten that might be your opinion, but there are people who believe in god. and if it helps them or if they want to or something, what´s your problem with that? i don´t get the point of you saying that there is no god.

they are not doing wrong to you or somebody else by believing, do they?

just explain to me why you need to convince other people that there is no god. please. i´m interested right now.

[eeeaten]

@Leylify simple: because people kill each other for their religious stupidity, and use it to oppress others. even as a crutch, religion is a delusional path to empty promise land. people need to harden up and accept reality for what it is, and get on with their lives.

[islandhunnay28]

@eeeaten let me rephrase that for you . . . YOU 'ARE' FREAKING RETARDED! maybe satan's 'EEEATEN' your soul..i recommend you visit a temple nearby & let God (the Highest AND only God) rebuke your demoniac soul child..PEACE BE WITH YOU :)

[eeeaten]

@islandhunnay28 hopefully one day you'll be able to read what you just wrote, and go "jesus christ i was really a fruity religo back then!" there's no such thing as god, or satan, or a soul for that matter. oh, there's no santa either. growing up yet?

[islandhunnay28]

@eeeaten i am quite grown up. well guess everyone has their own opinion about life & the after life also the Creator. it was just an advice budy. hopefully i see you in the after life, whether that be hell or paradise..

[eeeaten]

@islandhunnay28 that is true, everyone has their own opnion. opinions aside, there is what is real and what is not real. god falls in the "not real" category, just like santa. i wish there was a god, but there isn't.

[islandhunnay28]

@eeeaten oh well. that's your view to life. but i wish there WAS a santa haha cheers man PEACE :)

[edwardandbellaroks]

he's really good! did he win? if so, good for him!

[honeybee027]

@eeeaten um. you need to focus on yourself before you go making snap judgements on what he believes in. Agreed lose the retardness

[GirlyB923]

Love this!!

[YolandaBru999]

It's Leonards Cohen's Song!!!!!

Only he (Leonard Cohen) can sing this song!

SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rawiniah]

@YolandaBru999 - come on. jesus led the lord's prayer on the mount - does that mean only he can say it!!!

[293Laie]

just seen him with Paramore! awesome guy!!

[Nymphtality]

Love this song

[gilagoldfarb]

very nice

but listen to this guy sings it

you write danny budiski ,he gives it an amazing version

[eeeaten]

there's no god, stan needs to man up and lose the jeebers bullshit.

[WPscarface]

@eeeaten ur a dud. prove theres no god. u cant . nuff sed. lose the retardness.

[ZMR3663]

[Krissi8friends]

maaaaan that was .... sniff * TT^TT amazing !!!!

[vindicatedme]

wow, amazing! I've always been watching american idol but I like him

[tpapscha]

This is the best version that I have heard ever in my life......The best thing about it is that he is "MEAN MAORI MEAN"!!!!!!!! "KA MAU TE WEHI"!!!!!!!

[knottyboy20]

quite honestly, i've watched all the idol contestants on both american, world and australian idol of all series. He is easily the best. He also doesn't sound like any other singer out there.... completely unique and unbelievably talented. God blessed this kid. Just listen to the range and control.

[rawiniah]

@knottyboy20 - have you checked out Stan's Save Me video? pre Idol song

[TwiddleD214]

@knottyboy20 I agree, he is amazing! But Lee DeWyze, Michael Lynche, and Crystal Bowersox are all great too! But this guy definitely needs to get a BIG record deal! But yeah...Love this song! Lee DeWyze did very well on this too!

[ghostofstars]

@knottyboy20 he sounds like a maori with a voice. alot of cuzzys sing with that sound
