The only song I like is on the CD “Somewhere over the rainbow” is used in 50 Deadline Dates soundtrack. The other songs are boring and the vocals are poor. Rating: 1 / 5

Kamakawiwo’ole was a waste of talent, nobody can deny. But because he was so talented, he seems to CD.La cup that everybody seems to have turned to love this CD, shows better than anything else. The ukulele and the buzz that the “Over The Rainbow Home / Wonderful World” medley are excited about the next perfect record. Iz then begins to sing, and it is clear that he does not know the song. He flayed the lyrics for “Over the Rainbow” so bad they Stop Making Sense. At the end of the song, he falls into a series of grunts that the record show session was a big mistake, he may like songs, but he does not respect enough to apprendre.Le rest of the field, with the exception of his version of “Take Me Home Country Roads”, which is not very good is not at all bad, but nothing on the disc, like the intro to “Over the Rainbow.” Iz and tend to go too far from the utopia that we were all like to think of Hawaii, the ills of civilization (you know, those scourges which are) actually visit us on the islands. I’m going to dock a star for his extraordinary naive Rousseau-inspired chatter wildly. Overall it is a collection agreement, but it could be so much better. Rating: 2 / 5
