IZ’s version is the most heartfelt almost as if he were the composer. Judy Garland is a very close second.

[@Sigma_tbh]

Nothing beats a classic

[@Elwrt455]

IZ has great breath control ( this classic song is in the Key of G major starting with an octave leap)

[@michaelballlenger7614]

Judy takes it ever time with IZ following close by.

[@regannem]

Agree.

[@HaveyoumetKen]

Israel’s version just hits different. Really stirs up the soul. Such a good version

Don’t care I’m biased asf bc I’m Hawaiian and I love iz

I live in the middle of the desert and grew up with Judy Garland's version, but IZ is just objectively better.

[@nvnaland.nanaland]

I literally was just listening to israels it has a otherworldly effect..definitely has the essence of heaven ..whew ..made me tear up smile and think about life

[@DonJuan-ex2id]

Grande's is classy, and Iz's feels like he's abt to tell a hella good story. But with Garland's, u can feel her yearning

[@MikeyTauffasau]

Garland yearns for what's over the rainbow, Iz already knows what's over the rainbow

Lyrics: Somewhere, over the rainbow, Way up high, There’s a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere, Over the rainbow, Bluebirds fly, Birds fly over the rainbow, Why then oh why can’t I.. If happy little bluebirds fly, Beyond the rainbow, Then why oh why can’t I!~

[@ecosmos9]

iz all the way. that song gets me emotional every time. the others dont sing it as emotionally i think

[@dianeandrade7730]

The original with Judy garland is best 💜

[@JeanDupont26]

Israel was my favorite growing up so I'm a huge fan of his I may not be Hawaiian but gosh love the song Orevior.

[@diamondhair11]

Original always...I cry everytimeI hear Judy Garland sing this.

[@kaysimpson38]

Iz definitely touches my heart. I vote for him

[@Rightontime-vs1ns]

IZ ofc rest and peace 🥺😢

Original is nice, but there's just something magical about Iz's version that touches the soul where the other versions don't really reach nearly as well...

The original. I’ve known Judy Garland’s version my entire 68 years. It’s a Master Class in flawless vocal technique. But…I Love IZ’s version. I was so caught off guard when I first heard it, I was moved to tears. He had the voice of an angel.

[@TheActuJosephMother]

I have a lot of respect for Judy Garland but god damn IZ is honestly perfect

[@queensuzanna1031]

The Original is the Best, without a doubt, they don't come close to her Magnificent Voice!

its your opinion but in my personal opinion i like IZ

[@FXXGAMING404]

Kamakawiwoʻole’s was the best, soft and short, but very iconic

Judy Garland from “Wizard of Oz”

[@spotsandstripes2]

Israel’s definitely the most beautiful.. my autistic son was nuts on it and would repeat the video over and over trying to sing with it before he was verbal.. funny thing he could sing before he could talk

[@TheSauxyFxcker]

IZ version is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever listened to. So his version wins for me. But I must also give massive respect to Judy Garland with her original version which is also beautiful. Without her, we have nothing. ❤ RIP to both

Among these covers, the second one is the best, but Ariana sang beautiful renditions of the song at the Lyon and Tokyo shows of her Dangerous Woman Tour in 2017. Those were prolific!! Here, she's just imitating Judy Garland.

Judy’s voice is sweeter sounding than Ariana’s. Israel’s version is iconic and beloved. Hard to pick between Judy and Israel, but if I were to play one to enjoy just as nice background music, Israel wins! :)
