YouTube - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' HQ

Dear Friday students,

This is the song we looked at and listened to on Friday....

"Over the Rainbow" is a famous song, first sung by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz"
(Maybe you hate this kind of music... you can tell me in the comments below!)

Here are the lyrics in a little quiz format....

You could open them in a separate window and fill them in as you listen.

This, of course, is my favorite version of the song.... with Israel Kamakawiwo'ole













Here's the original with Judy Garland, in "The Wizard of Oz"!










Here's a slow, romantic version, sung by Leona:

  1. Nice song ^^ The Wizard of Oz version kinda sucks but the two others are quite nice.
    Was Leona really performing for a TV reality show? I hope that one day, our French "La Nouvelle Star" will reach that level of singing, though I'm not really optimistic...

  2. Arg I do not like this one... She sings very well for sur but ... I agree with James : Israel's version is the best one! Very relaxing
