I was at Subway having a sandwich for lunch today and heard something scary on the radio. Yes, Kenny G has licensed the classic 1969 Louis Armstrong recording of "What a Wonderful World" and added his syrupy meaningless soprano meanderings to it, thereby creating a "new" track that we will forever be hearing, wherein we get to hear him drizzle the immortal Satchmo with his unique strain of aural garbage.

I believe this event represents the end of western civilization as we know it. I will now grab my orange robe and move to a Tibetan mountaintop where I will contemplate all that is wrong with America.

Kenny G has ruined one of the greatest songs of all time. If he were alive today, Louis Armstrong would never have allowed this travesty to happen. Why couldn't Kenny ruin Streisand songs instead? I'm so sorry, Louis.

This has got to be one of the worst ideas of the 90's. What Kenny G and Arista have done to this song is a total mockery to the memory of one of the greatest musicians of all time. Thumbs down to all involved.

When I heard this, my stomach turned. What a sacriledge to good music. The key difference between Kenny G and talented musicians is that the only time KG is even tolerable is at lousy work parties, brief elevator trips, and when undergoing dental surgery. This is nothing short of blasphemy: a no-talent clown defiling a work from one of America's legends. It's OK to be a cheesy musician, but not if you're going to insult a real musician who isn't alive to defend himself from such filth. I hope that an assortment of cheesy 80s hair bands reunite and release a complete album with Breathless playing in the background.

If Louis Armstrong were alive, he would've NEVER allowed this man to release such a shame.

IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE MOVIE" GOOD MORNING VIETNAM" WHEN ROBIN WILLIAMS WAS WALKING THROUGH THE RICE FIELDS THE ORIGINAL SONG BY LOUIS B. ARMSTRONG PLAYED. THE REMIX WITH KENNY G. IS EXCELLENT IN COMPARISON. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY IF YOU LIKE KENNY G. OR LOUIS B.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the world's greatest song. Mr. G has once again proven himself to be the greatest musician ever born. My hat is off to the master. Long Live Kenny G!!!!!

I heard the Kenny G/Louis Armstrong recording of What a Wonderful World for the first time this evening and I hope to hear it many times over. I think it is a "wonderful" blend of talent. I love it.

This is a superb rendition of this song. Has great feeling and emotion

This is a superb work of modern science.I love it get it today
