  • Shes just like MJ when he did Gone Too Soon for Ryan White people just cant stand that they care about human rights, and they rip on them for no reasons. Michael gve millions to charity, and ppl used him... GOD BESS GAGA & MJ!!!!!!!!

  • Im really not a fan of lady gaga at all, actually done my share of bashing But i have to give her props. This is a wonderful tribute. I think john was smiling on her that night and yoko was definatly proud. She has helped to pass john's message onto following and his hope's and passions to live on in another generation. Thank you gaga, for leting the message of peace live on... im proud of you : )

  • Sorry,but Gaga has destroyed a classic, no one but JOHN LENNON should sing this beautiful song!!!!

  • If John Lennon were with us today..The renditions he would make of this song 'Imagine' would be endless. In the words that he had provided with this song, to change a few words is definatly not an issue as long as the Meaning of the song stays intact.

  • what did it mean when she said and only matthew in the sky

  • @danielle14151 Matthew was a young gay man who did not repent for his sin of being 'Gay' and was tortured till death because of his strong Heart... he is a Gay Icon and a Symbol of freedom for us all really.. God bless him <3 :( I LOV John and Gaga :)

  • @marcoma103 lolNO. matthew is Jesus, and if your trying to say Jesus was killed for being gay, he was never gay so maybe read the bible before saying this. I am not starting a fight tho cuz gaga and john are singing for peace.

  • @utahzz k k k k i didnt know soz i read it off another comment! soz NO hate just love here i love john and gaga

  • @danielle14151 Matthew Sheppard who was killed by homophobic idiots.

  • Thumbs up if u absolutely love the message and how she changed the melody to speechless at the end!!

  • Gee, another great song ruined, this time by a stupid madonna wannabe.

  • @LordoftheJimmy I have listened to all her tracks on every album. And I haven't heard auto tune, I hear synthesizers sometimes, but for impact in the song. She has an amazing voice, she has been performing all her life. She also makes people love themselves. Something I could never do, until I heard her.

  • idk why but everytime i see or hear somebody doing a John Lennon song it makes me wanna cry

  • Lady Gaga dosen't deserve to sing this song

  • @Atmaismyname Considering all the hard work she went through to get where she is today, and the positive message in all her music, she DEFINITELY deserves to sing this song. Besides, who are you to judge someone and say they don't deserve to sing a song? You're completely contradicting the whole message of the song.

  • @edvega91 What makes you say that? lol I just don't see how people can appreciate her or her music.

  • She is a waste of sperm

  • @morman29 Why are you so filled with hate?

  • COMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMUNIST.

  • Youre no prize yourself Fireflies03.The whole point of saying "imagine theirs no Heaven" is to point out that possibly were all wrong. Do you honestly think that your God is that unforgiving and short sighted? If Im going to hell for being gay than I honestly believe your damned as well for playing judge! I was raised Catholic....re read your book!

  • hello little mosters ... somebody have the lyrics?

  • It's ppl like GAGA who are destroying lives, corrupting the minds of kids, with her songs like vanity, or singing about threesomes, we all know these things are sins, & shes singing about living for the NOW when you should be living for the NOW & FUTURE, your actions effect your future and other people!

  • @fireflies03 We need to live NOW because we dont know what might happen.She is not corruptive, She iS just a living being making a change for GOOD,

  • This is STUPID.. people proud of who they are? Some people are lazy, selfish, corrupt, slutty, whorish, and don't even realize it & GAGA is one of those people. Shes playing 2 guys and wearing underwear in public places being proud of it, HOW IS THIS A ROLE MODEL??

    SAYING GOD DOESN'T EXSIST AND SPREADING THAT MESSAGE IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE SICK IN THE HEAD AND CORRUPT AND EVERYONE IS SUFFERING. OUR LORD IS PURE LOVE, & PEOPLE WHO TRUELY UNDERSTAND KNOW ONLY GOD CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!

  • You commentators on here are fucking crazy, just listen to the damn music. It's her admiration and interpertation of the beautiful song. What good would it be if she were to sing it EXACTLY like John? John is John, it will always be his song, it's not going anywhere. Just appreciate her message here. John would have been all up for this, especially the message he sent through that song. Imagine....

  • fucking shite

  • i hate lady gaga's music, but iv'e allways like'd her Personality. Among all the other pop singers, ive always seen her as a differend person, whit a huge heart..

  • Im 66 years and I just love Lady gaga. This is my most favorite song ever and often cry when I hear it. So sad Lennon's dead. He would have changed the world

  • Lady Gaga and I share John Lennon as the most favorite song writer. Going to watch her TV Special. Imagine that 

  • Poor singing, wrong piano chords, shit version.

  • Comment removed

  • Lady gaga stands for what is wrong with music today.. Fuck listen to some real shit you wannabe trendy hipsters. here's a start BUTHOLE SURFERS!!!!!!

  • AM♥♥

  • No she is good singer but what ever happen too the real musicians that wrote there own songs that changed the world and united everyone? I need a hero!

  • Gaga is a fool..

  • I love Gaga & Lennon A LOT.

    My mom went to see Paul McCartney in concert about 2-3 years ago and she saw John Lennon about 28 years ago, in New York & I went to see Gaga in concert, like 9 months ago and I have to say this is A-W-F-U-L.

    A total wreck. R.I.P Imagine.

  • Only foiled an allusion to John Lennon !!!! John Lennon is fucking genius!!!!

  • i can hear poker face too

  • go gaga go gaga

  • <3

  • I love Lady Gaga but David Archuleta rendition is one of the best I ever heard modesty aside.

  • Gosh, she didn't change the lyrics, it was a tribute to Matthew Sheppard a gay boy who was tortured and murdered near Laramie, Wyoming, in October 1998.

  • So Pround of you Mother Monster

  • HRC=Human Rights Campaign. I don't understand what people who don't believe in human rights are doing listening to this song on this or any other website and--complaining? Because they--didn't understand John Lennon after all? Hmm. You may SAY I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday that you'll join us.

  • Shut up and sing

  • omg stop having a cry you losers, who cares if she changed the lyrics. she is the queen of pop and im sure she doesn't care what u think of her. i have danced for her in many film clips. and she is an amazing kind person. if you actually do your research on her, u might change the way u see her. She is the new revolution of pop music wether u choose to believe it or not. Wake up and smell the music. times have changed cunts. Lastly Gaga is FUCKING AMAZING WOOHOOO

  • If i dont look at video... its ok

  • Lady Gaga is only doing what Madonna, Elvis and everyone else did to stay out..

  • how is this badd?? i love john lennon and i love gaga, i just dont see what all the fighting is about!

  • I have this dog im in love with, we've shared many beautiful nights together,

    now the church and state say we can't marry each other... stop the ban on love!

  • @Meansofviewing Take your misguided homophobia somewhere else please.

  • @bonslywizard It's called beastiallity, and you're being offensive.

  • @Meansofviewing ...and you are not in love with your dog. I asked you nicely to take your homophobia away. Will you do so?

  • @bonslywizard Why?

  • @Meansofviewing Are you not trying to build a point against gay rights?

  • @bonslywizard Ofcourse i am... homosexuals should be able to marry too! Stop the ban on love!

  • @Meansofviewing

    Thats... just... wrong. puff puff joint

  • no puedo crees que cante esta cansion es un insulto para john lennon

  • @federico21071 Lo que si es un insulto para John Lennon es que escribas su nombre con minúsculas.

  • @mariaaa26 callate

  • @federico21071 Creéme que estoy en absoluto silencio. ¿Cómo callas a alguien que ni siquiera ha dicho una palabra?.

  • @mariaaa26 hay no mames

  • @federico21071 Es cierto no??.

  • Fail!

  • Matthew sheppard <3

  • gaga <3

  • Love the way she changed it to Matthew for matthew Shepard:)

  • Lady Gaga is a very unique and creative individual. She is like a chameleon. She can adapt to any style of music that was ever created and make it her own. Gaga has the ability that many musicians don't possess. I wish that there was a word that is more greater than the word "talented". I wish that there was a word that is even greater than the word "excellent". Her ability is indescribable. All I can say is that the word that can really describe the ability of this woman is "Gaga".

  • @TheMikeBlueT but this song she really b-o-m-e-d.

  • @TheMikeBlueT Okay first of all, how the f*ck is Lada Gaga a unique and "talented" individual? She's just as mediocre as any of the other pop singers out there (Katie Perry, Rhianna, Kesha, even Rebecca Black) She's Madonna 2.0. And you're gonna call her Unique in the company of John F*cking Lennon?

    Lady Gaga is a generic mediocre pop artist and let her be happy with that.

  • @LordoftheJimmy Listen, that is your opinion sweety. Does Lady Gaga sing better than all of the women that you mentioned including Madonna? YES! Does she dance better than Madonna? No! Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Lady Gaga may have inspirations but she shows her own style through her performances. If Gaga is generic then so is Elton John. He doesn't even write his own songs. NEVER did. Gaga writes ALL of her songs.

  • @TheMikeBlueT How does she sing better than all those other girls? She uses auto-tune just as the others do (actually Madonna didn't use auto-tune so she's got it over her). Gaga writes all her songs, so does Katy Perry (it's easy when you're writing crap).

    What the fuck are you talking about Elton John doesn't write his own songs? He's written almost every song he ever played (REALLY great songs mind you; Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Levon, etc)

    And what's this "Sweety" shit?

  • @LordoftheJimmy Wow, now you're just being dishonest. There is no denying Gaga's vocal abilities.

  • @edvega91 Really? Why don't you take a listen to Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and Chaka Khan and then tell me how great a singer Lady Gaga is.

    If she's such a great singer, why does she use auto-tune? Explain that?

  • @LordoftheJimmy Those are all amazing singers, I never said otherwise. Plus she does not rely on auto-tune. If she ever uses it, it is only as a tool to create a sound that complements the elctric sonics of certain songs. She even said in an interview that she didn't really use it on Born This Way as she wanted a more raw sound. Do more reseach next time.

  • @edvega91 Define "Didn't really use it"? I'm work a producer for a living. I can recognize auto-tune anytime I hear it, and it's on the majority of "Born this Way." There are different degrees of it, but it's still used. Gaga can say all she wants about not really using it on Born this way, but believe me, someone at some point, maybe even when Gaga was out of the room, put auto-tune on the song. Just because someone says it doesn't make it true.

  • @edvega91 Even IF there's little auto-tune on the song (which I won't disagree with) would you really pin "Born this Way" up against "Natural Woman" or "Proud Mary" or "White Rabbit?" I wouldn't, and I don't know anybody else who would.

    Listen, I'll level with you, Lady Gaga is good for what she does: generic pop music. However I'll guarentee you in five years time, nobody will even know who Lady Gaga is.

  • @LordoftheJimmy It s been alredy 4 years of Lady Gaga. People will not forget her next year ;)

  • @LordoftheJimmy Bernie Taupin wrote Tiny Dancer, Elton did write Rocket Man with the help from Bernie Taupin, and Bernie Taupin wrote Levon.

    Ooops you dropped somethins...You're face!

    Also, Madonna did use auto-tune in some of her songs. So did Gaga but I don't care because she sings great LIVE unlike Madonna, Katy, Rihanna, and Rebecca.

    Please get your facts straight. Thank you and have nice day. Not. :)

  • @TheMikeBlueT Bernie Taupin is a lyricist, Elton wrote the tunes. I own a copy of MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER (which includes "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon"): All songs by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Get YOUR fucking facts straight. Still don't believe me, look it up on Wikipedia.

    If Gaga is such a great singer, then why does she use auto-tune? Makes no sense to me. Why don't you listen to Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner and then tell me how great Gaga is.

    Have a nice day...

  • I got the biggest goose bumps listening to her sing.

  • just enjoying the song ! (not me fav song but hey oh 0)

  • She's singing the anarchy song, eh? Why am I not surprised?

  • I think its sad how everyone just misses what this is all about. Yeah she changed some lyrics she changed it to something that she is trying to change and get ppl to believe in NOW. And weather u like her or not isnt important. The message she is sharing is beautiful. I applaud u Gaga for playing this song AND changing the lyrics to fit today and what u believe in. Thank u for the beautiful cover. <3

    And everyone who is hating on her check yourself and try and remember what this song is saying.

  • I liked it till she added her own shitty lyrics into it which unfortunately means i dislike this....as a bad joke

  • Comment removed

  • EVERY SINGLE ONE WHO COMMENTS NEEDS TO REMEMBER THE TRUE MEANING OF THE SONG...it doesn't matter about anything else- it's the MESSAGE that Shes trying to spread. The message Lennon was tryin to spread. That obviously some people either aren't smart enough or don't care enough to comprehend!

  • @h34th3n don't I what? I am someone who appreciates all music and this covet is the best imagine cover I've heard because lady gaga feels it, she is actually playing the piano quite beautifully, and she makes it her own a little and I appreciate that. John Lennon was a great artist and if he where alive today he probably would've been friends with gaga considering in the generation gap- he was just as rebellious, outspoken, and radical as she is today. People also need to STOP saying stuff abou

  • By the way, for the Beatles fans out there, Lady Gaga's session drummer in the studio version of Speechless is Abe Laboriel, the current drummer for Paul McCartney in his concert tours since 2002.

  • From 5:12 to 5:45, Lady Gaga grafted her song Speechless into Imagine.

  • I like Lady Gaga but this sucks.. Just keepin it real.. This does not do one of the greatest songs of all time any justice..

  • I don't know if Lady Gaga had memorized the original chords for the song, but she also changed the first few chords of the chorus and the bridge. I'm perfectly ok with chord substitutions and stuff, but Gaga's chord changes did not go well with her melody on top of those chords. The chord changes were also a bit inconsistent. The changes starting at 2:48, 3:27 and 3:48 can be ignored, but 4:41 to 4:45 and onwards is a mess. The changes in 3:41 and 3:54 are great, though.

  • You say she sings it well???? You honestly cant tell pitch. Go troll elsewhere we all know she sucks and her fans will defend her no matter what. Beatles were better than this shit.

  • This is a beautiful cover, if anyone can cover John Lennon, it's this girl. Some of you people just don't get it, go show your ignorance somewhere else.

  • @gnarlycorinne !!! ??? YOU'RE KIDDING, DON'T YOU?

  • @gnarlycorinne !!! ??? YOU'RE KIDDING, DON'T YOU?

  • Who's Matthew?? ...in the sky..

  • @misscarly12 Matthew Shepard was a gay college student who was killed because of his sexual orientation.

  • Lady Gaga Suck's.

    But this song is brilliant !

  • you go gaga your fan lisa1975100

  • This Biotch Lady Caca and Krusty the Clown are so alike... Nothing but jokes!

  • @LALOMAN18 Was that a joke? Because all I saw was a pathetic attempt at one.

  • @bitbit15 Yes it was faggot,,,, now go to sleep and get off my nuts biotech! "hey, hey, hey iiiiiiisssssss Kusty!"

  • @LALOMAN18 You still are not funny. Please log off and think of your actions. Thank you.

  • This is such an amazing cover, like what DEARPRUDENCE5678 says. If artists of today never did covers of songs from decades ago, they'd be forgotten. This is amazing, Lady Gaga is AMAZING. John Lennon and Paul McCartney went to the same middle school as me :) I live right by Penny Lane :) LONG LIVE THE BEATLES.

  • So far Obama has killed 3 top terrorists, provided health care for me a disabled person and tried to heal the wounds of both the Clinton and Bush administrations fuck ups, so I don't wanna hear any negativity from anyone who might have overheard their mommy and Daddy talking about, before they were tucked in their cozy little bed in the U.S.A. He is trying people, give peace and change a chance so that ignorance will not prevail and Jeez she's just singing a fuckin song :D

  • @Gr8fulrocker Obama killed no one. It was seal team six. And Omama cannot provide you health care. He steals the money from others and it is they who are forced to provide it. You are a free loader.

  • whollllllllly crap @infammotoben that was verry well said

  • Love this version!

    Please chekc out my cover of Imagine!

    I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

    thanks,

    Miss Mia<3

  • John Lennon admitted that he regretted doing his peace crusade, and supported Conservative President Ronald Reagan. He didn't tell anyone except one of his managers I think. The guy John told admitted it only recently.

  • You may think she ruined the song, and John would be disappointed and crap - but give her this: She, like us, like many people, admires John Lennon very much and loves this song to the point where she would take the guts and perform a legendary song.

  • @LatasianDevil He not she and still she should just fucking die

  • @LatasianDevil I think honestly John would be giving her a stand ovation for this make of his song. Not only did she do it well but the meaning behind it. She get alot a crap from a lot of people, but she is like all of us human. Is stands against everyone and says it like it is. Kiddos to a job well done Gaga. And thank you for always supporting human rights. You have made the GLBT community proud.

  • @LatasianDevil lady gaga corrupted our generation. She may be singing this song, but she doesn't live by it -- did you not see how sick and corrupted all her music videos are? She is plain "UNWORTHY" to sing this song! It's like hearing a hypocrite preaching and you saying, "I'm sure the one who wrote this beautiful speech is so happy to see a hypocrite preaching it." I love this song and the meaning of it, but it is impossible to change some people, like lady gaga!

  • @23parkour23 I don't think John would ever approve of you saying that there is anyone unworthy of singing his song. If anyone sings any song by any artist, it's a sign of admiration. There is no such thing as worthiness to sing a song. And I don't know what music videos you're talking about. All of her music videos have messages in it, they're visual piece for pointing out political problems, visual arts, or simply for fun. So far in her videos, I see nothing hypocritical.

  • @LatasianDevil Ok i get everyone has their own right to sing a song , but this song is about the world trying to be peice and i dont think lady gaga is very pieceful since she was having a concert somewhere ( i forgot the country ) and she started saying bad things about russian , polish and lithuanian people wich is not very peiceful i think. But im just saying what i think. Im not saying your comment is stupid or anything because i think that is very true. ( ignore the spelling mistakes ) :)

  • @Missfunkyxxxfresh I don't know where you heard that. I, like many other Monsters (and the media in general), would know Gaga that never said anything bad about anyone at all. That sounds like some rumor someone started to make her look bad.

    Last time I remembered Gaga said something about Russia, she was there and she thought the police called her a whore - but she loved the country nonetheless.

    Lady Gaga is very peaceful human being, and she promotes peace.

  • @23parkour23

    How can you say that she has corrupted our generation? Because of her people are proud of being who they are. They find comfort in a pop sensation that can and is making a difference for them. She is singing the song and she DOES live by it. Who are you to judge someone's views on the world and say what they do or don't live by. And, you saying that she is a hypocrite is completely untrue. She accepts any race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. So, enlighten me on how she is.

  • 750 people just don't fucking get it. 

  • lol@ the gaga fans who think she wrote this song.. lmfao fail guys. this song was written by the greatest musical genius ever to walk the planet

  • @gux290 *Looks down and shakes head*

  • @gux290 I feel very sorry for you...

  • I like this video, but I disagree with Obama being "historic" and "legendary". Of course, does she still feel that way today?

  • Lady , lass das John's sache bleiben ..

    erst covern und dann auch noch schlecht, nee!

    den text von so einen wunderschönen lied zu verändern, das ist unterste schublade!

    bleib bei deinem stil oder hör auf , mir egal ,nur lass die finger von etwas so anspruchsvollem

    peace John♥

  • WTF?????

    

  • Nossa! Ela canta d+!!!! LADY GAGA URRUL!

  • I wish she would have sung the entire thing the whole way through like she did at the end.

  • so fucking great i can't stop watching this. THIS is why i love her

  • does she say "bless God and bless the gays" in this video? it said she did on wikipedia and i can't find it

  • she is so stupid mentaly retard bitch!!!!!

  • @Ida906 no, that's what you are, so stfu

  • @Ida906 I sense some jealousy here...

  • @Ida906 ya stfu idiot!

  • @Ida906

    Learn how to spell and use proper grammar before you try to insult someone.

  • uh hello, gaga performed with yoko ono. obviously she's not disgracing the beatles.

  • Gaga is a special young gal, she lives following her heart, pursuing her dream with her great talent! she is a lucky soul !

  • this is so beautiful. i cry whenever i hear her sing this. i'm so proud to be a gaga fan. doesn't matter that people call me gay even though i'm straight, my parents think i'm a freak. no matter, i love her.

  • Now, yes... it is one thing to cover a song that has a good message and she has good intentions with it. But it's another to do it, and change the lyrics. I don't like it when artists change lyrics to already dope songs. Thanks just my take.

  • Very bad try. Sometimes it's even sounds awful.

  • I loved how she used a white piano <3 Great job Gaga, you're one of the only great artists these days.

  • Good in her own way Lady G, but I don't think anyone should even attempt to cover this. This song WAS John Lennon and 36 years later it is still played and will be forever because sadly his dreams will never be realised on this planet.

  • The singer included the song in her set as a tribute to gay college student Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in 1998.

  • I'm actually really surprised at how well this cover was done <33 Good job, Gaga :)

  • @iiLoveTheBeatles Nope, but your comment is disgraceful.

  • The song actually starts at 1:54. just for your information

  • @lolzter97 And you're telling me this because? O_o

  • @Sebizzar because she took forever to get to the song and you can't really understand what she's saying.

  • @lolzter97 Still don't get why that was directed to me, i was replying to iiLoveTheBeatles.

  • cheesy

    

  • Comment removed

  • People are so quick to judge GaGa as attention starving and just always doing something "weird", but its when you see her doing intimate concerts like these that you realize she's more than that.

  • Just be grateful that someone who CAN sing is capable of delivering the beautiful message of this song. Would you prefer Miley Cyrus to sing this instead?

  • get ready haters because this woman is about to change the world.

  • Man I love this woman and its not even funny people are starting to call me gay O-o

  • This is the only thing, I think, which Gaga sung good.

  • @Beatlescanner sang!!**

  • @MultiKimimaro

    Sorry ;) I`m not the best in english. ^^

  • @Beatlescanner sorry i didn't know 

  • so much hate on a video of a song about the complete opposite

    clearly everyone is always missing the point

    imagine.

  • @textvsromance i have noticed so much in the comments racism, of all types. i can't believe that so many would still feel this way. i really thought has a nation that we were past all that ugliness.

  • @textvsromance

    yeah but she's not the kind of people whoi suppose to do that

  • Why do you guys need to hate Lagy Gaga? She is just being her self. If you dislike her do not listen to her its as simple as that but respect. And honestly all this fighting is going against John's message. Support the gays regardless of religion also. And all due respect christains u say you would never discriminate people because i go by Jesus's foot steps well would Jesus walk around and say you are going to hell? No he gives love to everyone. So DO NOT say they will go to hell! Give themlove

  • i believe matthew is in the sky ...

  • TODAY, MARRIAGE EQUALITY WAS PASSED IN NEW YORK. AND IT IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE LADY GAGA AND OTHER, ALL WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR THIS WONDERFUL DAY TO ARRIVE.

  • @denissegiron Yeah...Soon it wont be a crime or even "weird" to see your neighbor dick his cat....Wonderful
