  • Mejor que Jhon Lelo

  • OMFG ! THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL *..*

  • I love lennon. but this is really good

  • :D

  • this is such a bullshit song, its nice and everything, but even Lennon said it wasn't meant to be taken lteraly.

  • you tube

    ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD | OFFICIAL RELEASE | 2011

  • i'M a BeTteR DrEAmer!!!

  • Who the fuck is this girl?

    John Lennon forever

  • an angel's voice :}

  • @eyjjekaj1521 I couldn't even make it halfway through this abomination of a classic song. I admit, I do have personal reasons for wanting her to die but I won't talk about that here.

  • @pipin2putri Why is it retards like you get so offended at the truth. Avril is the best at what? Sucking ass?

  • Wish she sang like this more often

  • i love imagine period

    its a wonderful song :)

  • Avril needs to fucking die

  • @dancamden1 why are you even listening to this song if you just want someone to die.

  • @dancamden1 I think its u who need fucking die ! why u not cutting ur tongue and shut up !!!? Avril is the best, not like u ! loser !

  • seriously? avril lavigne? now thats just not right.

  • hêhé_Í_fÊél_s0_loNelY_tòdãý

  • boooring version, my mining

  • This is my favorite Cover of this song. I love Avril and John. ♥

  • WOW!!! MUUUUCH better than Madonna!!! didn't expect her to sing this well...

    Well, of course, John Lennon is better - no doubt!!! but good job, Avril ;)

  • i remeber the first time i herd this song, i felt so peaceful...

    love it<3

    Peace

  • she kinda relaxes this song... like i feel calm when she sings it. But that might just be because she didn't sing it with emotion.

    lol

    good job avril!

  • OMG! In 2:46 Avril is like Samara Morgan!!! :O

  • Imagine, a great song!

    Avril Lavigne, the best singer!

  • Thank God there is a dislike option but I gotta say that I've heard even worse covers so...

  • I LOVE MADONNA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • much better than madonna version

  • At one time, it was believed nothing the Beatles did, as Beatles or singly, ever should or even could be covered. I doubt John Lennon was of that camp. If he heard this sincere, sweet version, made to raise funds for such a loving cause, he would know we had heard the song, and were living it. Making this fundraising copy, Ms. Lavigne is living the words, and telling us beautifully in actions and music. Thanks! <3

  • oh Avril ♥

  • Nice  job Avril

  • i really enjoyed this version, i mean i hate most of her songs, but her voice really comes troughout then song perfectly. people lets just judge with our ears and hearts!!

    its a good cover

  • Its not like she wants to do it better, she's making a tribute

  • i like this one better one

  • I don't know why y'all dislike this so much, I mean, it really IS NOT that different from the original. It's like as if a girl posted a video on here of her singing this song, it's the exact same concept, it's just a cover, do you know what a cover is? It's another artist giving tribute to those before them who've inspired them. This and Green Day's cover of 'Working Class Hero' are both perfect examples of this. Seriously, the song is about peace, just go with it.

  • I'll stick to the original thank you. Why would I settle for second rate?

  • its good!

    

  • what bullshit

  • eeew.

  • This is the only song where her voice actually hasn't annoyed me!

    John's version is still better, but hey, that's a given, right.

  • suck my dick fuckin pussy

  • @deskisiadoasg you are irrelevent!

  • She makes a legendary song.. another girlie song.. pfff

  • Amazing. <3

  • Disgusting.

  • this is an amazing cover! it is on my ipod and i love it!!!

  • great cover.

    beats her version of chop suey! anyways haha

  • Great song that I never get tired to listen to! I think Avril does a pretty good job here because she really has a soft and clear voice.

    And I like your vid.

  • i love this song!!!!!!!!!

  • aw this is so beautiful love the lyrics

  • if you dont like the song y listen to it or if u dnt like avril rlli y do u listen to it if you dont like her and your just gonna leave bad comments theres no point and i know people have diffrent tastes but if you dont like it you dont have to leave a bad comment

  • How much did GnR ruin Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door? I've heard some bad covers and believe me Avril is far from the worst. Anyway it's more the words of the song to consider not the voice of the performer. I lived in the world filled with so much hate and apathy that Lennon and his fellow band members wrote about when he was with the Fab Four.

  • this is a good cover....for me to poop on

  • stop being hypocrites. for goodness sake what did she ever do to you? if you don't like her then you don't (period). you don't need to say bad things just because you don't like her or the way she made the cover.

    grow up jeez...

  • da da daddaadadadaaaad lalalalaa

    musiccccc I can sing my own So000oong

    just likkke HeeeeEER looo0o0o0o000ol

    i like listening to the audio preview

    when i right these things rofl

    oh yeah good song. i guess

  • i like apc's cover better...

  • die....die now.....

  • my friend sings this a lot and she thinks she si a good singer and now it's really getting old and dumb

    but i like the song AVRIL really i love.

    she just sings it so often and she is really dumB!!!!!

    she thinks she is all that

  • hearing her voice singing this song angers me greatly.

  • I love her voice it sounds good with this song.

  • wow nice song....

  • she has no buisness covering a song way out of here leauge avril lavigne is fake and john lennon is a amazing songwriter and avril cant write a song for shit and john lennon is the real deal and she should not cover bob dylan and bob dylan is the best out of any songwriter and avril covering there songs is like throwing poop at a beautiful dozen roses

  • and by that you mean you're the poop right.

  • what the fuck is that supposed to mean anyways no effense but are you one of those poseur avril fans not to put her or the fans down just saying so no effense but avril lavigne cant cover john lennon cause she will never be as good as john lennon she will always be a "the poop" in my mind beside your statement was dumb it sounded like it came out of the mouth of 5 year old so im just saying WTF lol

  • i guess you need to listen again to the words of this song cause i think u didn't understand anything about it. it's a peace song that she sung as everyone else could do. knock it off to being stupid. grow up.

  • yeah, I for one think your being petty, she did a good version I think tbh

  • haha i wasn't even trying to be serious.. i thought it just sounded funny. I'm not a big Avril fan as much as i was when i was like 10 but whatever. This version isn't the best but i see she tried and that's all that matters dude. And yeah everyone knows that no ones gonna be able to measure up to Lennon so what's the point of all these arguments?

  • haha yea i know.. im just a rude person thats all im rude to alot of people so shut up =P. i knew you were kiddin ;) . i used to be a avril fan when i was 10 but know she is gross haha. i dunno i just thought if lennon was alive he would curse avril =( i wasnt trying to be rude sorry i sounded rude i knew u were kidding i was just pissed that day thats all haha i know im such a dork

  • i love lennon but she shouldnt be redoing all these songs like this and knocking on heavens door her fans dont know where those songs really come from

  • thats not avril singing !

  • not bad but...its John Lennon,he will always rock from the great gig in the sky!

    R.I.P

  • itz an awsome vidio........................

  • usually not a fan of covers of anything one of the Beatles touched but but this is not a bad cover of a great John Lennon song

  • if you dont like this song, dont comment jeez.

    if you like this song means you ARE LOOKING FOR PEACE, so just shut up and stop sending negativity through the world.

  • @LessThanEmpty666 Negativity in a constructive manner should always be welcome! why is it up to you to say what is or isnt allowed to be said!! This is a public forum! I do personally really like this version yet wouldnt stop anyone else expressing their opinions! PEACE!!!

  • i honestly think this is better than johns.. i know old stuff is generally better than new, but i think avrils version is more clear..

  • not bad at all. but johns is better.

  • It's not horrible ... nothing can come close to Lennon's original, but it's not like this one sucks.

  • so ture

  • k horrible canta¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ y dejenme decirles k sera muy avril lavigne pero este cover deverdad k si es un asco, claro a mi punto de vista y creo k deberia dedicarse solo a lo que canta y no a destrozar canciones tan buenas como esta .

  • My first reaction to this video title was "Is it really john Lennon's Imagine???" then comes the confirmation.. "Oh crap! no!"

    John moved in his grave!

  • just curious, are u related to John Lennon?

  • even mark david chapman thinks that was a slaughter of john lennon

  • could someone be so nice that would sent me this??

  • why does she do covers of EVERYTHING???

  • i've always loved this song, i like this version even more. avril rox!!!

  • dude you've got problems.

  • aw come on man...listen...she'e doing all-right

  • this is really good but the version of John Lennon is still the best. It's his song and none else!!!

  • FINALLY A NEW SONG

  • NEW???? This song isn't new!!!

  • if u hate avril, keep the mean comments 2 urself, u'll do nth except 4 hurtin the fans' feeling. B considerate! Pls! Im 11. N pls, i noe ur all older then me. B a gud example!

  • do u even knw whats the song meaning?!

    Imagine there's no countries

    It isn't hard to do

    Nothing to kill or die for

    And "NO RELIGION" too

    Imagine all the people

    Living life in peace...

  • Ok, really? We can all hear the lyrics. And there's no reason to put unnecessary emphasis on parts that you don't like. Who cares if 'no religion' is in the song? If you don't want to hear about it, then don't listen to the song.

  • I hope that your spelling is indicative only of the Internet and not the education you received. If so, please study on your own time. Your written word will have a great impact on your future life as an adult. It may seem inconsequential now, but if you have poor habits of writing they can stay with you.

  • I think she tarnished this song~

    More importantly,shes changed a lot.

    She used to do well in pop rock,but now shes wearing like a bitch,and shes always pretending that she knows a lot...

    Its tragic that shes crazy rich but without undergoing higher level education,that she turned to this way...shes destroying herself......

  • I wish she was dead. She doesn't even get the message of this song. Stupid bitch

  • If youre wishing her to death, i'm pretty sure you don't get the meaning of this song either...

  • I'm surprised, she didn't do too bad. I didn't expect it to be anywhere near this good, although it could have been a lot better.

  • HEY,

    AMANDA SAYS SHE LOVES AVRIL!

    So be nice :)

  • Why Is she still making music?? Awful cover

  • this is awful on every level

  • I really agree. She has no idea what the message of the song is. She just wants to use a popular classic to make green.

  • The song was recorded for use on a charitable album. Read the video description.

  • nice attentions but.. it's like smelling plastic flowers

  • Personally, I like Johns original version better.

    Peace :]

  • This is an interesting twist on a great song. I liked A Perfect Circle's cover better though.

  • even though i don't lick Avril, i have to say she did a good job at covering this song.

  • 我根本不想理你们讲她什么什么的,总之一句话,她唱的好听,又感­觉,我爱AvrilLavigne

  • Decent cover of an amazing song. Parts were a bit screwy, but really not that bad, obviously not even close to Lennon.

  • It's beautiful

    Lovely

    great!

    her voice is like an angel's voice praying to God...

    Hating her is preposterous!

  • Imagine there's no heaven...

    No religion too.

  • The lyrics are talking about exactly what everyone here is argueing about. Its talking about no hate...peace between all people.

    "Imagine all the people living life in peace."

    "The world will be as one."

    Get over yourselves people. This is a beautiful cover of this amazing song.

  • sempre MITIKA..

  • Avril has covered it Greaaat!!..And you all should treat her better! And still have respect for her because she is still the sam great person..she is  just older and she Is all great but not a Bitch!!!...I dont know why you guys are so bad to avril!! All the good things that she did and that she still does! I can't understand why guys dont Realize it and don't worth it....Avril!!Your my girl!!

  • sooo many people are covering this song and its wrong thing to say that exactly this cover has "destroyed" it. in that case this song was destroyed long time ago.

  • lol!! i wanna imagine Heaven but i wont imagine hell

  • david archuleta didnt butcher it

  • I threw up in my mouth a little bit *blehhh* oh, wait, nevermind I actually threw up just now. Absolutely no one can sing this song except John Lennon without butchering it. But That being said, you have to give her credit for staying true to the simplicity of the song; it was much better than David Archuleta's rendition of it. I wanted to cut off my ears when I heard him sing it. He completely destroys the song by putting all those ornamentations on the melody.

  • this is amazing

  • you're obviously not very musically informed. or your just an obsessed avril lavigne fan, meaning you are about 11 years old and female, in which case i don't blame you for knowing absolutley NOTHING about music!!!!

  • She ruins one of the greatest songs in history god damnit! Am I the only one who hears that this is the definition of sabotage!? I'm crying...

  • I could not agree anymore

  • The problem is that we can't compare people to Lennon because he was a complete genius. Avril tried and that's what counts I guess

  • I totally agree with you.

    I mean,

    'Imagine' is one of those songs you should be put in jail for covering

  • ok,thats a bit harsh dude. i mean yea, this is no lennon but its a rly good cover compared to others. at least shes not destroying it. but still i agree,this isnt a good cong to cover,cuz john lennon was a musical genius and no one can compare to him.

  • I think that this "brain"thing of yours isnt working properly. You should get it checked as soon as posible.

    SHE DID DESTROY IT

    and you're a little indecisive aren't you?

    Either that or you're just a fanboy, trying to tell yourself that she didnt just do something horrible.

  • WELL YEA,I AM INDECISIVE!ITS PART OF MY ACTUAL PERSONALITYbut im seroius.she could have made it alot worse. other people butcherd it without mercey,so its not as bad as others before she made this. o yea,and about the "fanboy" comment, i wouldnt be saying MY brain isnt working right, cuz IM A GIRL!

  • Fine! be a Fangirl! Whatever help you sleep at night.

    I used to have respect for Avril Lavigne, but then she became a material Bitch and dyed her hair blond.

    And the worst thing about her covering this song, is that since she used to be a talented artist, she KNOWS that 'Imagine' is like stairway to heaven, a song you just CANT cover.

  • i dont like comment fights. i really dont want this to turn into one. sorry if its one now i agree with u on nearly everything u say but im NO fangirl i also lost respect wen she went material girl on us and it WAS stupid to cover this song cuz people rly just cant. what im trying to say and have TRIED to say is that other people have destroyed classics like this song alot worse then she did this one i dislike this song but its better then worse cover attempts. everthing else im with u on this.

  • Doe mij maar gewoon john lennon

  • i love this song, its amazing..

  • i luv this song (L)

  • She sings this amazing, she should sing songs more with a tone like this (Much like her song "When your gone") because its much better than her ahem "Girlfriend" stuff.

  • avril's good but she's better off with her own songs.

  • the point of this song is social equilibrium without any religion or allegiances to countries

  • zum träumen schön :D

  • By principle, I usually don't even care about what Avril Lavigne does...

    But sometimes she strikes gold.

    Her "Imagine" cover is her striking gold.

  • tell me about it....i normally don't care for her but this is pretty

  • it's not bad, but it's not amazing

  • I dance and I have a lyrical solo and this is it

  • I like this song!!!!

  • i love this song, i start loving it when david archuleta sings this

  • I like this version. But no one can beat John's.

  • I think this is a fairly good cover. It's hard to cover Lennon, his songs really are uniquely his. It's nice to hear Avril singing, instead of shouting.

  • she gay

  • the only good cover of imagine is neil youngs

  • my insticts says that I have to kill this woman

  • i like it. i dont love it.

  • it sucks.

    the original is way better.

    she sounds like she is doing karaoke

  • makes me sad.

    she shouldn't cover a song a true artist wrote with all his heart.

    she has no motive, no views, no heart like him.

    also no talent. Noone should sing something that was written by lennon's soul.

    just when i thought i couldn't hate her any more.

  • i second this

  • A good attempt at covering a great song. No one will ever be able to top John Lennon when it comes to this song.

  • she covers variety songs that can move our hearts

  • It's a great song to cover, but only if it's for Youtube! Too many singers think they can do this song like John, and they can't. I'm glad they like the song, but they really need to leave it alone.

  • dosent matter how good the singer is, this is 1 one of those songs no1 should touch

  • Exactly! this song should never have been redone. EVER. this version sucks too. like it could be good if certain people did it but not her.

  • I like Avril and I think she is super, but I am not sure this song is a good idea for her to cover.

  • YAWK! YAWK! YAWK! YAWK! >:D

  • I forgot about this. I've never heard it but it's awesome!

  • Man I've had it. It should pretty much be illegal to cover Beatles songs or songs of any member of the Beatles in their solo careers, i.e. this one.

  • Sounds strange... hmmmmm

  • That's Great..: )

    Avril Sounds Good As Always.. i Didn't Like Her Much intill i Heared Her Singing THe Cover Of "Imagine".. its An Amazing Song.. And Avril Sounds Amazing in it..!!: )

    its a Really Hard Song To Sing.. i Should Know Me And My 3rd Best Mate Are Doing a Duet Of it in a Concert..: )

    Thank You For Doing This..: )

  • cool video dude xD and avril sounds good same as always !

  • ok ppl she sang to help a fund raiser, maybe she isnt as good as john, but its still a good song

    so stop critizing and just think of what this song really means

  • this version is not so avril but i like it!!!
