1.0 out of 5 stars Not pono, September 11, 2006

This CD is horrible! Whoever the mystery person(s) are, they need to never think of making a CD again. This DVD is some Japanese hack trying to sing Iz songs. Boy was I ever duped. I thought this was officially sanctioned by the Kamakawiwo`ole family, but it is not. It is not sanctioned by Mountain Apple Records. The Kamakawiwo`ole family gets nothing from this. The songwriters get nothing from this. The people who buy it get nothing but ripped off. For instance, the beautiful song Kaleohano, which was written by Louis "Moon" Kauakahi. It is not only hacked up here, but the CD says it was written by "unknown", which means Moon is getting nothing out of this. Oh my goodness, if you heard how they factured "Henehene Kou Aka". They didn't even try to learn the Hawaiian words and therefore just mumbled a bunch of noise. Please do not waste your money on this. This is not a tribute to Iz, it is a travesty. I gave it one star, because I cannot put zero stars. Please do not buy this. Please write to the publisher and tell them they should go to jail.

1.0 out of 5 stars tribute? What a joke!, November 24, 2006

How can they call this a tribute? It's an INSULT to IZ! It sounds awful! Don't waste your money on these riduculous, amateur vocals. I would also give it zero stars if I could. Your money is much better spent buying an actual IZ CD. I recommend Facing Future.

Disgusting! Yeah, they are IZ's songs, but not his voice. Lousy 'bait and switch' game here!
