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

[@joshuamelgar6251]

Judy, with one song she encapsulated a post depression era for longing of something more she makes you feel something the other versions can’t and that voice is amazing RIP judy you’ll always be missed

Israel "IZ" k- uh yea his version is the best without even any hesitation.

All are great. Gotta say I'm impressed by how Ariana almost perfectly mirrors Judy's vocals.

This song has no bad version. It's good vibes and simplicity overtake everything!

[@rikaff-drika]

Iz has been a big part of my life and still is even though over the rainbow isn’t my favorite song from him, it still feels so nice and his voice is so pleasant… my favorite song is Kana’i Aupuni if anyone was wondering

[@woodiicycad]

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.

[@charlottebankston4408]

No one does it quite as great as IZ!! ❤❤ RIP my man!!

[@luna254gal5]

IZ made this song a hit and sings it so beautifully

[@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

[@gypsywanders]

IZ knocked it out of the park, especially If you know how it got recorded ❤

[@AN-jw2oe]

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! :)

[@Brotherofthe4thCompany]

I think I’m man enough to admit this, Brudda Iz’s version makes me cry every single time I listen to it.

[@DearDollie-w3r]

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!~

IZ's is still my favorite version. Just amazing!

[@Dabugman02]
