@vitorbastos123 at least i think it's george sitting down.... and thanks! that always bothers me when i see this video... >.< i hate not knowing these things.....
Amazing impression of John and his voice and mannerisms and everything. Love this video alot and thanks Stevie for posting it. God Bless you for loving the Beatles as much as I do.
I stumbled upon Stevie Riks tonight. What a talented guy! I mean watch him do The Monkeys, Bowie, The Beatles, Queen et all. Great! Keep on doing this, Stevie!
OMG - how can people be so negative - Stevie Riks is showing his tribute to the genius John Lennon - Stevie Riks is the next best thing to JohnLennon so if you dont like him - dont comment!!
There was some real fancy editing and mixing in this one. Too bad it wasn't possible to insert Stevie in with the Threatles. That would have been something else. He does a good John, both voice wise and looks.
@TheFlickreaper To echo the words of dw909, All the voices are done by Stevie, in fact I believe all the instrumetation is doen by him as well. Help us here Stevie, it's all you correct?
I love his Paul McCartney - it's so accurate - from the rised eyebrows to the bobbing head, he looks just like him! I couldn't really believe his Ringo though, too much of a parody - and that nose!
impressionist dont get a look in unless its taking off politians or some footballer, this good stuff is relegated to end of pier career, sad but true.
I Keep watching this and cannot see why youtube and all the big tv company's do not grab Stevie and make him a tv star??
He as it all!! Of all the crap that is on tv at the moment and here is an all in one entertainer being missed !!!! Don't the talent scouts or what ever you want to call them look at youtube for source of who is entertaining ?? look at the veiws Stevie has had on his site does that not tell you he is liked?? That many people cannot be wrong! Lets get Stevie On TV NOW
Wonderful video and song and impression of John Stevie. Thanks for the wonderful post and hard work here on this great video. Love this very much. God Bless
I can't view a Beatles or Freddie Mercury video without this Shit Comedian Stevie Riks Cheap Shit flooding youtube like a Virus. GET OFF YOUTUBE you cheap fool !!!!
So what if im Gay, Im very proud to BE Gay thanks.
Ive seen Stevie Riks the "Great" Comedy Talent, smirk Homophobic fun at Freddy Mercury and others. It aint funny Missy , but revoltingly sad and miserable ... a bit like YOU Dear !!!!!!
If Steve Riks is homophobic then Freddie & Queen were redneck racists - remember when they played Sun City ? Still most Yanks are still redneck racists , guess youre just another
Hey... most of us "Yanks" are not redneck racists. Most of us are just regular people not wanting to hurt or bother anybody. Don't make the same mistake of judging us all by the actions of a few.
Fuck !! How many accounts does this Dude Stevie Ricks actually have.... maybe a 1000 me guessing.... ALLhim and ALL him commenting on them. Its cheap , unfunny, and very tacky.....stick to American Comedy Dude s. Avoid this man like the Plague....kiss kiss honies !!!
Excellent song and Stevie your voice is beautiful and you look and sound just like John. I love the footage of the 3 surviving Beatles here as well. It shows how much you love them and the respect you have for their work and how talented they were. What a gifted and talented guy you are. God Bless You
First, Stevie didn't record this as part of a "reunion" tribute, but given the song was used by the Beatles as a reunion song, I spliced in his recording. Second, if you really listen to the nuances of the singing and performance you'd realise this is no lip synch on the part of Stevie Riks - it's his own backing and vocals, which by varispeeding the video of the Threetles Real Love videos I managed to get to fit Stevie's backing. The fact you thought it was lip synch shows you rate his singing!
its a pity people have to have a go at artistes who really shine and stand out in this business. its very hard these days to be inventive due to manufactured crap on tv these days, etc big brother, x factor, need i say more.stop being negative give positive feedback. no wonder he gives you negative feedback in your emails. if anyone is an artist/performer in this game then you know what i'm talking about. if you're not in showbusiness then you can't comment until you are! keep it up stevie!
Well after John died the remaining three Beatles were commonly referred to as "The Threetles". I applied the same logic as "Beetles" being changed to "Beatles" with the "a" and so changed "Threetles" to be "Threatles" :-)
If its any consolation, your video editing is very good. Have you been doing it long? I'd like to see more of your work. As long as this Riks dude isn't in it.
Not been doing video editing long myself, nor do I tend to really do it - that said I did used to give technical support to video editors in my first job around 10 years ago. I am curious why you say you don't like Mr Riks, when I saw on your youtube channel you had clearly sent him a message saying how much you liked him and received two channel posts back from him only yesterday thanking you?
For the record, I am in no way associated with Stevie. I merely saw his rendition of the song and decided to create this video. Subsequently to that I actually got a very nice email from Stevie.
If you don't like the artist concerned, why did you bother to even watch the video I produced?

Stevie Riks isn't a very nice person at all. I am a female and he did the exact same thing to me. I left a comment about one of his videos and he contacted me immediately afterwards in my inbox and he was very insulting. I then received several comments from 2 of his other youtube usernames.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ah yes sorry you're referring to my comment in this page 4 weeks ago. Well like I say it wasn't recently. I'll never be a fan of Stevie Riks after what he did to me but I don't plan on spamming all his clips with negative comments. Others are starting to experience what I experienced so there's no need for me to say anymore about it. The truth always comes out in the end.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I guarantee he will demand that you remove my comment - he doesn't like free speech or negative comments. He might even threaten you into it using about 6 different accounts. He is famous for that.
Ok can you prove that then. I'd like too see that myself!
I think he's brill weather he comments himself on his own videos or not.Either way His's fucking talent shows, plus his HOT .. :P
But you have the right to not lick him dude, that's every one's right. There's just a large % of ppl who does not agree with you and the smaller % of guys like you...
I dare you to convince me and increase that small % ... if you can ..

I left a contructive comment on one of his vids suggesting he thank people on his utube pages OCCASIONALLY. There's no excuse for not responding at all. He didn't approve my comment to be posted on his page. Instead he sent me an abusive email. Then I received several follow up abusive mails from other 'utubers' claiming to have seen the comment. What Mr Riks has forgotten is that he didn't approve my comment so in reality no-one saw my message but him. He was obviously behind the other mails.
