I'm a grown ass man and I cry when i hear this version of this fucking song. my friend had the same reaction. it takes me back to drinking orange juice with my granddad, teaching my little sister how to walk and the first time my mom kissed my scraped knee and put a band-aid on it. Tori is an angel come from heaven
Y'all know what I am a 27 years old and I remember the first time I heard this song my brithmama was in the hospital for the big c which did took her life about four years ago but I remember seeing the movie and all and now as grown up and I feel like crying and all because of it😥😩😥😩
I have watched a number of Tori's performances and I believe she has no idea how much talent she has. She sings so beautifully and so effortlessly and seems to have a look of "I can't believe I'm here."
Originally hearing this from Jim Henson "The Muppet Movie" when it was a rerun around 1981 and now seeing this now, with someone else doing Kermit's voice..it..makes me emotional. I can't stop the tears. So many memories with The Muppets movies, The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies..wow!
I love Kermie, but I wish there was a version of just Tori because it would LOVE it. Also I would've burst out laughing when Kermit started to sing along haha his cute weird little voice
Manuel Orozco I like them both too but if I had to pick one, I'd pick tori. And yes I have seen that movie. I love it! And I've actually had the privilege of going to her concert this year. She's amazing! She always gives me goosebumps.
Karishma Lakhram Hard for me to tell what I prefer since I haven't heard enough from Tori. I loved Sing too. I'm going to get plenty of hate for saying this but it's the best animated film I've seen this year tied with Kung Fu Panda 3. Tori's performance of Tell Me About It was a showstopper.
BBWfootLuvr Why would you just assume she wasn't there? I'm honestly wondering because there's no possible way you could know otherwise. Just because some people might lie about this kind of thing doesn't mean everyone will. For all you know, this person could be wildly successful and hasn't been in her mothers basement for years. Don't just assume you know her story based off of one comment on a video.
I love how despite being the singer she is, she fundamentally understands that there's a time and place for errrrthang. Such as not oversinging over Kermit, even tho she very easily could
True. It is a very humble song, in style. She understands that taking it over the top begins to erase the beauty and the message of the song. Typically, her style isn’t really my thing, but this duet is truly beautiful.
[Verse 1] Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong wait and see [Hook] Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me [Verse 2] Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see? [Hook] Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me [Verse 3] All of us under its spell We know that it's probably magic Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors The voice might be one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be
Under rated guitar playing on display. Not easy to do that key change. She mixed in the jazz voicings. Back and forth between strumming and fingerstyle. Very nice playing.
There have been great versions of this song over the years, but this is really up there. It hits the sweet spot of Tori's voice--the part where she's clear as a bell and most beautiful--perfectly.
This was probably one of the last times we heard Steve Whitmire do the voice of Kermit! But on a more positive note, Tori Kelly is incredible! She’s one of my all time favorite singers!
Yeah, honestly, Steve was chosen to be Jim's successor for a very good reason. Sadly, Disney and Jim's Children have treated him wrongly over disagreements of how Kermit should be as a character. Matt Vogel's performance as Kermit just isn't Kermit imo, Steve will be the true Kermit alongside Jim himself. Steve may be gone, but he won't be forgotten
Wow, she was fingerpicking the guitar with only 3 fingers up to @1:30 and then she whipped out the hidden guitar pick from her other two fingers started strumming! How amazing.
That’s her style of playing, her fingerpicking technique has always been 3 fingers bc she hides her pick in her last two fingers. She’s mastered that move and her technique is really good, it’s a shame that she doesn’t think of herself as a good guitar player :(
This song will always be special to me and makes me cry, every time I hear it. My sister was paralyzed during a heart surgery in 1978, at the age of 2, and even though they knew she would never walk again, they tried leg braces and exercises to see if she could at least walk with crutches. As my mom helped my sister, they would listen to this song. The leg braces were painful and would cut into my sister’s skin, so my mom stopped making her wear them. She’s in a wheelchair but that hasn’t stopped her from learning to drive, get married and have three kids and buy her own home. She says that this is her life anthem! 💖💖💖
This a great duet of both Kermit and Tori Kelly. It's always good whenever anyone can sing in place of Kermit's reflection as seen in The Muppet Movie.
I love how Tori stays true to the song and doesn't change the notes because this song is awesome the way it is and since Tori sang in normally her voice fit in to the song beautifully. BEST COVER I HAVE HEARD!!!
This is such an underrated thing. Too many people try to come up with the most creative and flashy runs and it just ruins the song. In terms of talent, she is one of the most talented vocalists you’ll ever hear and to do note for note with just about anybody, but she sings songs the way they were meant to be sung
@@benjaminmahesh2451 I completely agree. Sometimes people do too much and it ruins the song. Many songs have very simple vocals and when you do to much it becomes overwhelming and doesn’t suit the song
Forgive me for misspelling Sarah McLaughlin. Her's will pull at your ❤️. I want it as a funeral song. I was a kid when Kermit sing it originally in The Muppet Movie and have been moved to tears since.
Beautiful duet by Tori & Kermit! He and his Muppet colleagues may be old school but their charm and humor still gets the job done over fifty years later.
I'm almost 49. I just rediscovered this song because of my soon to be ten year old daughter singing this soon in her music class. I've never heard of the woman singing with Kermit, but it's nice to hear someone who can sing and not feel the need to show off. Beautiful.10/10.
I cry every time I listen to rainbow connection. It really puts me in like a happy cry mood, I feel my grandma who passes when I listen to this song. They do a very good version together, I watched this live... And cried, again. Lol
I remember loving this song as a kid when I saw the movie and later when my mother bought me the soundtrack. It's been ages since I heard it and it sounds just as great as it did back then. This is one of those songs that will stand the test of time. ❤❤❤🐸🐸🐸
What a special moment this was. Imagine how wonderful Tori must feel to have had the opportunity to sing a song with such a touching message, especially alongside a deeply loved character like Kermit. I loved every second of this. Thank you, Tori & Kermit.
No dislikes, exactly how it should be with this video! She is beautiful & her voice is irresistibly astounding! She & Kermit sound great together as well. Plus, who doesn't love Kermit the frog?
Wir haben uns das Lied in der Schule mal angehört weil wie es ihn unserem Orchester gespielt haben und wir hatten Gänsehaut pur. Seitdem ist das mein Lieblingslied und immer wenn ich es mir anhöre,werde ich glücklich. Tori Kelly hat eine wahnsinns Stimme... ♡
Especially given this was in the year the first Sing came out, when I’m just listening, not watching, I can’t help but picture Meena singing with Kermit.
Tori has the voice of an angel.. It's crystal clear and pure. I don't even know how else to describe it!
Ikr
I may not be a big fan of her really but you are so right!
i agree sista
She doesn't even need auto tune!!
misssaramariya is right
petition for Disney to hire Tori Kelly as a disney princess
Yeah she can be Princess Swallows from Cumalot
@@UKnowMeIMURDaddy Jesus Christ! It's Disney! Not a slut fest!
Andie Lozano o my God yaaaas
@@UKnowMeIMURDaddy holy shit I wasn't ready for that
Her guitar playing sounds lovely!
"Wow. I wish I could sing like you." ME TOO.
Toraay Kellz RIGHTTTT

Reading your comment and listening to the song was like a flash back to when I was a kid. Thanks for making this grown ass man shed a tear.
This song also makes me cry 😢
aaaww thats a really sweet childhood..💞💞

I have watched a number of Tori's performances and I believe she has no idea how much talent she has. She sings so beautifully and so effortlessly and seems to have a look of "I can't believe I'm here."
I really liked the song
Shes amazing :)
Yeah, she needs to do more music that emphasizes her voice.
In this generation, Tori has the powerfully sweetest voice I ve ever heard.
Fr 🥺
Legitimately an angel resides in her vocal cords.
2nd to Karen Carpenter
why the heck am i emotional listening to this? Absolutely ridiculous.
Don't worry I'm with u 😂
How old are you guys? :)
I'm 20 but after listening to this I feel like a kid. Brings back lots of childhood memories.

weekly raven it reminds me of childhood
"The Muppets aren't for children. They're for the child in all of us."
I hate how underrated she is!
tel me bowt it bey fukn hel
I hate she has never done porn

Voice of an angel.
What about keemit
I love Kermie, but I wish there was a version of just Tori because it would LOVE it.

I like the contrast between Kermit's imperfect singing and her's

I'm still here
Yesss
☕
This song keeps me alive
@@GilangGumilar-v8i me too
i love how crisp her guitar sounds gaaaaaah
Pauline Lauron her tpuch is so soothing and gentle like her singing is angelic
Yeah, Taylors sound so beautiful. My friend has one, and even basic chords sound so damn amazing, it's almost enough to bring a grown man to tears.
happened to know what guitar she was using here? thanks
I agree most of all because hashtag ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈
Tori's voice just born fit with disney songs
I hope the Grammys are regretting giving Meghan that award over Tori
I like Meghan Trainor
Face it, the Grammy's is just a popularity contest. Meghan was popular at the time and she won. Tori is much more talented.
Karishma Lakhram I like them both. You should see Tori as one of the voice stars of Sing.
Manuel Orozco I like them both too but if I had to pick one, I'd pick tori. And yes I have seen that movie. I love it! And I've actually had the privilege of going to her concert this year. She's amazing! She always gives me goosebumps.

I was there when she sang that song and almost cried. Ugh so beautiful.

I don't know how they do it but the rainbow connection song just keeps getting better and better

True. It is a very humble song, in style. She understands that taking it over the top begins to erase the beauty and the message of the song. Typically, her style isn’t really my thing, but this duet is truly beautiful.
Everyone is talking about how good tori is but my man kermit has still got it, this man hasn't aged a day, still warming everyone's souls
👍🏿
[Verse 1]
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see
[Hook]
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
[Verse 2]
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?
[Hook]
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
[Verse 3]
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Because the world is turning gay
that famous chord that she uses in 2:54-3:04 gets me every freaking time.
It’s a Db maj 7 -> Cm7 -> F7
Tori's voice is so pure damn!
Such a soothing voice. Absolutely beautiful! She makes me like every song she covers a lot more than I did before.
I liked her version of Colors of the Wind
Manuel Orozco yes she can sing anything!!
Karishma Lakhram I have heard a few things from her but not a lot
I agree!!! Like King Mitus, everything she touches (sings) turns to GOLD
This was awesome. Tori seems like the type to fan-girl over singing with Kermit the Frog.
So adorable and flawless of course. :)
ahhh, I love you! I see you comment on every Tori Kelly video. I'm so in love with Tori just like you, lol.
+Bria Carter lol thanks. I get that a lot haha
ikr, Kermit is my favorite singer on every song ;)
Under rated guitar playing on display. Not easy to do that key change. She mixed in the jazz voicings. Back and forth between strumming and fingerstyle. Very nice playing.
I'm 68yrs old and have Loved this song since it first came out, Tori sings it beautifully ❤🇬🇧
There have been great versions of this song over the years, but this is really up there. It hits the sweet spot of Tori's voice--the part where she's clear as a bell and most beautiful--perfectly.
Gwen Stefani did a good job on the I Love Disney CD where Tori sang Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas
Tori is a true princess in every way possible. The world should be proud of her. Truly.
I don't think she has royal blood.
This was probably one of the last times we heard Steve Whitmire do the voice of Kermit! But on a more positive note, Tori Kelly is incredible! She’s one of my all time favorite singers!
Yeah, honestly, Steve was chosen to be Jim's successor for a very good reason. Sadly, Disney and Jim's Children have treated him wrongly over disagreements of how Kermit should be as a character. Matt Vogel's performance as Kermit just isn't Kermit imo, Steve will be the true Kermit alongside Jim himself. Steve may be gone, but he won't be forgotten
Nobody:
No one:
Not a soul:
Kermit: YAH
Omg I love this so much
Except he does that in other duets, so a few souls might say "I wonder if Kermit will go 'YAH!' " again in this duet :P
2:27 and 3:03 💀
I literally couldn’t stop laughing when I read this because I didn’t notice he was doing that until now
lololololololol
thats a hard core lol
Who’s here after hearing her sing as the seahorse on “The Masked Singer”
The rainbow frog clue, lol.
Thanks for indirect suggestion
HERE AFTER KERMIT WAS REVEALED HOLY MOLY.

Exactly! and named her Melody,,
It’s 2020 and I’m still waiting 🥴
Tori absolutely needs to record this for an album. Hands down the most beautiful version of Rainbow Connection! Perfection!
She is such a talented singer! Kermit is adorable. This song brings tears to this touching song.
Tori Kelly is just one of the reasons why I'm glad that The Muppets are now part of Disney.
Her voice is amazing!! Beautiful!!

"ya know"
yes I do know Kermit
So good to hear Steve Whitmire as Kermit here, has not been the same since he was replaced.
Especially since this was the last year he was Kermit.
3:03 YAH! (I would break)
bicooo1 I already broke down.
YAH!
IM LAUGHING SO HARD
I am just dying throat the whole video 😂 he says “YAH!” Twice!!! 🤣
I am crying and laughing so hard
Love this song as a kid. If you want a glimpse of Heaven just listen to this Angel Tori Kelly.
Her Voice is liquid Gold. ❤❤❤❤❤
This a great duet of both Kermit and Tori Kelly. It's always good whenever anyone can sing in place of Kermit's reflection as seen in The Muppet Movie.

Tori's voice is absolutely beautiful, and I love how wholesome Kermit sounds here too
I'm sorry even the way she holds a pick while picking then gets it out so fast to strum is amazing haha
Beautiful duet by Tori & Kermit! He and his Muppet colleagues may be old school but their charm and humor still gets the job done over fifty years later.
5 years ago woww!! She still looks same like this today
Chills. Straight chills. Her voice is perfect.
Without a doubt- the most incredible version of Rainbow Connection! Tori is pure heaven to the eyes and ears! ❤️👍🏻
Wow, what pretty voice she has!
Nobody's talking about how Kermit and Tori form a perfect duo
I'm almost 49. I just rediscovered this song because of my soon to be ten year old daughter singing this soon in her music class. I've never heard of the woman singing with Kermit, but it's nice to hear someone who can sing and not feel the need to show off. Beautiful.10/10.
I love Tori's voice..so crystal clear and emotional! Kermits not bad either! I have always loved this tune..great meaning if you look for it...
I like to come back to this one every now and then. Her voice is hypnotizing
Literally one of the best voices I've ever heard. Especially for a live performance, while playing the guitar....
Tori is drop dead gorgeous and her voice is incredible .
Amazing voice of Tori.
Bravo keep on singing for the world who loves such an angelic voice.😮
I cry every time I listen to rainbow connection. It really puts me in like a happy cry mood, I feel my grandma who passes when I listen to this song. They do a very good version together, I watched this live... And cried, again. Lol
It’s 2020 in this pandemic and Kermit hasn’t aged a bit...
And How come Tori is not as famous as Ariana Grande? Talent is beyond compare.
Not Kermit!
How have I NEVER heard of Tori until now!?!?! She needs to be in an animated movie NOW!!
shes in Sing, she's the elephant
Voice of a angel
Kermit’s little voice cracks are heartbreaking…a really touching rendition
Her voice and guitar playing is beautiful and heavenly.
One of my favorite songs growing up. It's a joy to hear Tori's version. She has that angelic voice no doubt.
So cute..beautiful voice..
Oh God, Tori Kelly's voice sounds like it's from the rainbow. So beautiful!

I think Tori has the most beautiful, clear voice I have ever hear. What a talent!
Jim Henson, if ur watching this from ur home in the stars, ur creation is what it is today. Still amazing.
This performance is magic
I love how he plays with the leafs 😂🤪🤣🥹love u Kermit❤🥰
Made me cry. Beautiful, Just Beautiful.

I cried listening to this because it reminded me of when i sang this on stage in 1st grade
