Avril Lavigne singing "Imagine" + interview for Amnesty

[hwoarangsaga]

why is everyone saying mean comments? that's a beautiful song and many people should listen it, Avril is a good singer and i dont think that jhon lennon will be upset for sing his songs.

She have a beautifull voice, and he will be proud that young people listen to his songs.

listen the song, learn about the lyrics.

[OzTwanger]

John Lennon spinning in his grave.

[lukeBAM]

@OzTwanger .. at the thought that some of his fans wont even let a decent girl cover his songs without criticsizing them.

[OzTwanger]

@lukeBAM No mate. Spinning cuz his eardrums are bleeding listening to talentless gorm absolutley butchering a song AND making money out of it. LOL

[lukeBAM]

@OzTwanger she's a good singer, that's how she got signed and how she's still big today. she's not one of them jokes who lip sync. just because she's a mainstream artist it doesn't mean she can't sing.. she can cover his song if she wants too. how is making money a bad thing btw? that's like telling someone not to get a job because it's bad to make money... makes no sense.

[jx14aby]

She does have a beautiful voice. But I think this song is made for crowds.

[hanijak]

she can´t sing this song

[LegendaryMoment]

For all the people who say that Avril sucks.. why on earth are you watching this video? This video is about Avril and the song called 'Imagine'. That song is about everyone getting along, no matter what people look like, sound like, or where they're from or what they believe in.

So why come here and comment saying that someone else you don't know suck? She's the one singing an awesome song, she's the one getting millions of people involved for a good cause.

If you don't like her, then leave.

[CalloohCallayRunAway]

@LegendaryMoment

Because she's singing a song that isn't hers which was written by someone that her little bubblegum wannabe punk self will never live up to. The only reason why she & a bunch of other 'hipster' generation singers were picked to do songs like this for the Instant Karma album is so they could appeal to younger generations who can't be happy with the original song, so they need some moron blonde to dumb it down & make it 'cool' for them to listen to. =/

[CalloohCallayRunAway]

@LegendaryMoment

They picked her because it's about making money off of her NAME. They know little teen twats from younger generations will see her name associated with this on iTunes & they'll buy the song because ITS LYKE OMG BYE HERRRRRR!!! We're allowed to have opinions, too. Just because you feel like playing an internet white knight doesn't mean that we need to stop posting. We're the audience; we make or break these artists careers. So, kindly, shut the fuck up.

[LegendaryMoment]

@CalloohCallayRunAway

You're exactly right, everyone does have opinions. Everyone is equal. You are equal to me, we are equal to Avril, and we are all equal to the man who wrote the song 'Imagine'.

And so therefore I won't 'shut the fuck up'. Yes they're trying to make money by using her to get younger people listening - but if they succeed to get younger people listening, then they will promote the song further. More people need to hear this song, young or old, because it has a good meaning.

[TheBohemianTenor]

to all the haters: I don't see you doing anything to help raise awareness of human rights. it may not be the greatest version, certainly not better than original (like that was even the intention!), but for somebody of such a high profile to try and raise awareness of such a wonderful cause is fantastic!

[kablamo9999]

The funny thing is that I don't think John Lennon would hate people for singing a song.

[fullofhearts100]

AMAZING job Avril :)

[katerinaside]

avril sucksss!!

[TheBohemianTenor]

@katerinaside so why are you here?

[katerinaside]

@TheBohemianTenor

because i wanted to listen how bad can she sing this epic song.

[enemyworld360Lp]

WTF? She made a cover of all the legend songs and she ruined it all ugh I hate this bitch why u sung that song bitchy whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?WTF

[Carlyyyish]

she butchered that song..

[Mumbles80725]

all you people posting mean comments about her are making the world worse

[Mumbles80725]

she did a great job all the people who do this song rock

[TheKatao]

John has this voice, particular voice, that makes it sound emotional. it is supposed to make people realize how they are fucking our world up. when avril sings it like it is just a money maker. nobody can compare to john

[thenowuk]

Awful-sounds like an x-factor contestant,with the same amount of soul and passion too-she's a plastic rock star,a very watered down and dilluted version of the real thing

[ivegotanaddiction]

i dont like avril but seriously john lennon was a great man and just having other people sing his songs would make him happy. so all of u should be quiet :]

[MrOhyeahbaby]

she totally fucked up the most beautiful song in the world. John Lennon would NOT approve.

[guitarraespadita]

acaba de arruinar la canción!! puta madre

[Edea161090]

long live John Lennon!!!

[SeraphimSadie]

Avril,

If you want to be a respected artist, know what you are singing about. Your thoughts on Imagine sound like your in 3rd grade, "with countries as such as" please, don't disrespect John Lennon with your ignorance.

[sk8ertomboychick]

everyone sayin mean comments all the time what as the world come too -___-

[MindBlankk]

Her forehead is alarmingly large.

[gettofab72]

shes so stupid. she talkin bout being nice to people but shes hatin on britney. btw she sucks at singin this song

[TheMoveMakesTheMan]

.... being nice to pple isn't sticking up a smile to every whore you see

[theeternalsinner]

For countries of the 1st world, Avril, the whole world is suffering. I don't know what the hell is she talking about. She's so far of being true and honest.

The cover is such a crap. There's a lot of people that could do it better. Alanis Morissette is one of them. But the best version of this beautiful song was made by Maynard James Keenan when he was in APC. It has too much feeling. Like John's version, but in a differente way.

That's true and honest.

[IrOtOiReS]

omg does any agree with me here? She kinda looks like heidi montag but avril rules conpared to her

[WurdNerd]

you should hear david archuleta singing this song! its AMAZING

[iamavril]

wtf, she doesn't know what she's talking about.

She is so insincere too. Look at the way her eyes keep rolling about and she keeps looking down, then forcing a smile at the wrong time.

Kind of pathetic that as a celebrity, she hasn't even mastered how to look like she's interested in what she's selling..

Also kind of pathetic that she needs a sheet with the lyrics on it..

On a lighter note, it sounded like there was a cuckoo clock going off at around 1.16, 1.21 lol

[IROCKYOURMAMA]

Lol, you're even more pathetic by saying all this (: .

[iamavril]

OR.. not? It's called having an opinion and expressing it. Most people think it's more pathetic that people like you are sticking up for such a pathetic pop singer.

Casually expressing an opinion one day is one thing, the complete mess she makes of everything she does, and the shallow 'performer' she is, is quite another level of patheticness.

[jakeissexy1]

is dosent believe in this kind of stuff

her voice wanted me not 2 hear music ever again

[championschica]

i know most people dont think she did a good job singing, but the originals are almost always better, and you have to reacognize the REASON why she redid this song...

[rareu4532]

no one will sing it better like, john did! hehe..

[xxxMegGgiExxx]

she's pretty there :)

[nowheregurl34]

Female artists DON'T cover Imagine. NO ONE covers Imagine. Especially not female artists.

The message JOHN LENNON made with that song was wonderful, but avril completely mangled it.

[x0LiveLaughLove0x]

lol. I dont know. Im sure a female artist somewhere out there could do it justice. Just not Avril. She butchered it. Imagine is an one of those songs that should never be covered by anyone. No one can do it justice. Its too simple and absolutely perfect.

[nowheregurl34]

perhaps...i'm not quite buying that...but at least someone agrees that avril killed this song...

so thanx :)

[EmmaEarthquake]

I agree.

why Avril??

[jkkiddle4]

Eva cassidy did

[LeonkaStar]

AVRIL LAVIGNE IS THE BEST.. i dont know where is problem.. i love her :)

[Weirfan69]

It's crazy that such a short interview messes with my opinion of her, but I thought she was a bit more articulate/passionate/better singer than this. it's the blonde hair. :P

(kidding guys, kidding...)

[spedzer998]

she ruined the song.this is not a song u can cover and did a crime to music by doing so

[lafffaire92]

That could of been her first time singing it.

[Tibbon]

Ok, this puts her back on the list of people that need to ... well never sing another note again.

She needed a LYRIC sheet for the song? Who the hell needs a lyric sheet for this?

[Apple0192]

seriously dude good point its like in the key of C pretty much no sharps or flats haha.

[Buttermilks]

Wow, I got negative one. Someone must be very uninformed or naive. She is a natural blonde. Go research before proving me wrong.

Her sister and mom are both blondes and before Avril debuted she was a dirty blonde.

So, it was dumb saying she dyed her eyebrows.

[Buttermilks]

You people are stupid.

She's a natural blonde.

[MexicansforMike]

Huckbee for El Presidente, when he wins and gives AMNESTY to all of the undocumented Mexican people in America we will be a force this country has never seen. Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo will not be elected as dogcatcher and we will throw their racist ass out of OUR country that was stolid from the Mexican people.

[Alexx011x]

is this song ever gonna come out??like as not on a cd but before she makes another another cd cuz i think she does it amazingly!

[nowellian]

Imagine 20 million people in the streets demanding a war to Bush's illegal war. Vote Dennis Kucinich!

[shiguojingqian]

I love this song and I think it's great that she tries to get involved in stuff like amnesty international, warchild...

[ilovehim31092]

im sorry to all of you avril fans...

but way to screw up a perfect John Lennon song there!

[DazedSpaz]

she sounds like she has no idea what she's talking about. It really annoys me when people talk about things that they don't know anything about. "i think that imagine was an anthem for peace and for being kin to your neighbor" what in the world!!!

[DazedSpaz]

atleast come up with something meaningful to say. i mean come on youre covering a JOHN LENNON song. frankly i'm not a 'hater" i actually own two of her CDs the old ones obviously.her new glam cd or whatever it is, it's repulsive.

[DazedSpaz]

whatever she sings the song well. although it lacks emotion just as out president and government lack brains.

end rant

[orangecow965]

Woo hoo! I second that!

[SirTwistopher]

She was paid to say that anyway...

if she could say what she REALLY though it would be 'Well The song is quite well known and people don't really listen to the message of the song, just how the melody goes, and uh... I'll probably make some more money for myself anyway! *giggle*'

Stupid Avril

[haloalek]

good avril! I love you

[AvrilRocksAndYouSuck]

LOVE AVRIL x DONT HATE

[ldesaes]

She doesn't sound very spontaneous. My guess is she couldn't care less about Darfur or Amnesty international.

[DazedSpaz]

agreed

[MelisSsSsS2]

she doesnt look good with blonde hair ..:S

[gongw]

avril rox

[KittyRush]

so.. who told the bitch to dye her eyebrows blonde too? XD

[florrrrrrrravril]

[AvrilLavigneFan8776]

AVRIL ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[dejv]

[pinkandlimegreen]

[awakatej]

I love this song in APC version.. the best version ever.

[crazygirl22]

Avril Lavigne is a good singer, but her voice doesn't match with that song...because only John Lennon could sing that song better!!!

[makinmoremoviesnow]

Only John Lennon could sing that song better. Avril Lavingne and the beatles are my favorite!!! It sounded awesome and amazing!!!!!

[marykraw]

i just... hate her hat xD but i love her voice!! the best voice ever!

[Jen6767]

Avril Rocks.

[Avrillina]

avril sei grande!!!mi emozioni sempre di più

[Brendon3]

i love her voice.. she's the best damn singer!

[Justanothertomm]

she said the same things once, and it was because they edited it like that.

[humantoy09]

why does she repeat the same shit a thousand times? lol
