  • Number two behind John Lennon as far as this song goes. She also nailed The man who sold the world!!

  • Jordis you are amazzzzzzzzzzzzzing!! luv u~!!!!

  • Jordis you are amazzzzzzzzzzzzzing!! luv u~!!!!

  • Why not? She would do any record company proud. GET HER A CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She has amazing power in her voice. This is my favorite song from her. Why doesnt she have a record deal yet?

  • In my opinion, Jordis and Suzy McNeil were the best two performers on Rock Star INXS, but it was obvious they wanted the best male contestant. I have no problem with that because Jordis and Suzy did not fit as the lead singer for the group. I am glad they opened the show to female singers because we got to see a lot of great female talent.

  • really miss out jordis

  • Sorry Mr Ray Charles, but she sings by far the best cover version of this excellent song! :)

  • easily the best version ive ever heard of this song

  • She was by far the most talented of the contest-but not for the band. Where's the record Dave Navarro promised to play on!!!! I have waited for years for an album! Music industry is nuts to let this talent go by unnoticed! Raise your voices to them and tell them!

  • SHE'S AMAZING! GORGEOUS W/A PRICELESS VOICE..I WOULD SO BUY HER ALBUM OVER BEYONCE N LADY GAGA..MAN WHY IS'NT SHE BIG YET! I MEAN SHE IS..BUT I MEAN REALLY BIG! JUS DONT SELL UR SOUL!

  • Un-fricking-believable!! if that dont give u goosebumps when she hits those high notes then u must be retarded!

  • How could you possibly dislike this.

  • would like to see more of her, watch her on rock star inxs and she was the best voice on there.

  • great rendition of this song! What is she doing now and where is she? Her voice is amazing!

  • The old guy is Jordis's dad...

  • HALF TONGANs always holdin it down..

  • Comment removed

  • Aside from John Lennon, I have never like any cover of this song until I heard Jordis sing it. Just Beautiful

  • She is amazing

  • Where is she?

    

  • I can't believe this young lady hasn't struck a major recording contract.

  • the old guy in the audience at 1:48 must be her grandpa or uncle or something! you can see him busting a move on stage (pretty good, too!) at her brother's concert!! check it out by looking up: More Than Lights - Fun's On Our Team EP Release Show

    PS-her brother's band, More Than Ligts may very well be the next big thing, too! They really put on a show! (see if you can tell which one is Jordis' brother!)

  • wait, who won on this show?

  • shes beautiful

  • GTFo she can neveeer sing this song like John Lennon even if she tries. fucking gay  knock off cheezy copying

  • MARTY & JORDIS!!! <3 <3

  • can't believe it was 30 years! thought i'd post her version to my fb cause she was amazing and should have won..also she's obsessed with prince too!!

  • They wanted a man to front the band, The great Jordis performances show it every last one of them.

  • She is so beautiful!

  • I watched this when it was on and this made me cry. My all-time favorite song and she nailed it!

  • Damn girlfriend you should've won hands down, why are you not famous, your beautiful and your soulful pure voice is amazing, and yes imagine all the people, cheering for you, you rock !!!

  • damn everything about Jordis is striking. such a beautiful woman and voice.

  • She did a great job, I still like Lennon version better

  • Wow, what a voice, and she sang it with her heart fully in it love her version!

  • 70th b'day..... cant even imagine that for john lennon..... his memories will always live on.... peace.

  • On this, the celebration of Lennon's 70th birthday I had to come back here and listen to Jordis's version of his famous sound. It still gives me a chill when she sings it. ROCK ON JORDIS!!!

  • On this, the celebration of Lennon's 70th birthday I had to come back here and listen to Jordis's version of his famous sound. It still gives me a chill when she sings it. ROCK ON JORDIS!!!

  • love her version

  • is her voice really ecxellent?

    

  • Big Fan of Jordia and I am glad she did not win just because I think if someone would sign her she will have an amazing career as a solo artist. Cause lets see where is INXS now, no where further then before the show, but at least I got a chance to hear Jordis's beautiful voice from the show

  • Look I loved Jordis- she was great but there is no way she should have won- the guys picked the right person.

    I saw INXS with JD in memphis and it was FANTASTIC!!!

    I am a hugh INXS fan and never expected to love these guys with JD however they were great together

  • this song vaguely discribes communism

  • John Lennon Whitney Houston style? NO!

  • this woman should have won this job she was the best i love her version of this song

  • The Best remake of "Imagine" I have ever heard.

  • what key is this in?

  • without a doubt, the veery best cover of John's song

    Jordis is amazing

    I share this video with as many people as i can

  • I WAS NOT A BIG FAN OF THE JOHN VERSION,, BUT THIS VERSION,,OMG JORDIS YOU ARE AWESOME

  • WOW!!!! How can she not be a household name!? What is wrong with the music world!? PURE BEAUTY!!!

  • she as a really really great voice

    and my mom thinks she does too and i we would just like to say we love her you's

    fantastic voice

  • I LOVED Her on this short lived "Reality" show,

    and I'm kinda Shocked (and Sad for Her)

    that She hasn't made it Big time yet.

    (After All..She;s

    better than any "ANY!" "American Idol" Winner!)

  • she should have won, even though the winner was really good but she would have lasted

  • Did James Hetfield Judge here?! if not., then can you please tell me who the judges were?! Thanks a lot.. :-)

  • @aaronbryan

    The judges were the members of inxs. And they picked wrong, as they now kicked out their choice. She had a better voice and personality on stage.

  • Rockin voice and hot to boot

  • This is the best damn cover of this song EVER! The inflections in her voice are outstanding.

  • Just feel so peaceful everytime after listening to this song.. wonderful cover. Brings a smile to my face. :)

  • John would love this...

  • this performance actually landed her in the bottom 3. She was largely hated this week for not being in the bottom three of the past episode after a bad performance of "Dream On" by Aerosmith. She ended up fifth, I think.

  • Best version of this song ever!

  • BEST. VERSION. EVER. John Lennon would be proud.

  • Of course this is better, this is the best version I've heard! She was brilliant, every performance was rock solid and improvised, I was shocked and shattered when she didn't win but I guess they were looking for a male vocalist but didn't wanna say it aloud.

  • I know and what did that get them! Everyone that watched this show knew that she was the best. It is weird that they did not see the same thing! Maybe because they knew she would upstage them all!

  • I know man!

  • @yuklz I thought it was better that she didn't win because she can make music truly her own. But she was the best vocalist and performer on that show. I can't wait what she'll do next! :D

  • I love Jordis!!!!! Beautiful voice, yup she's way to good for inxs. Favorite version of this song by far. Has she come out with an album??

  • come on, shes brilliant, im a fellow musician in the uk, listen to how she cuts off the notes at the end of each phrase, no fancy vocal runs, the song would be spoiled, band a little to full on just strings and bass needed 1st time round. good girl..

  • OmyGOSH! I'm sooooo in love and why is there only 149,988+ views?

  • Best Version I have ever heard hands down

  • Best version of this song Ive heard in a very long time, great post

  • I am so crying. I don't know who this chick is but i gotta get her CD. Such a stunning version of this song.

  • I usually hate it when ppl cover legendary songs by legendary ppl....but WOW she blew me away....I like this rendition better than alot of other "Imagine" covers

  • is it just me, or is this version almost better than john lennons?

  • Oh yeah ..FUCK INXS.. I Hope some day I will meet YOU !!!!

  • When John Lennon sang this it was probably untouchable as far as heartfealt emotions go...that being said...with Jordis Unga covering this untouchable masterpiece..she has brought tears to my eyes..her sincerity is undeniable...her voice is like an angel crying from the Heavens ..and the purity of the delivery is unmatched in any realm...THANK YOU JORDIS UNGA...your beauty is only surpassed by the undeniable greatness of this vocal performance !!!

  • Very very beautiful. She sings well too! Haha..but really she is overall an amazing vocalist and performer. She was too good for INXS

  • She even brings herself to tears!

  • THIS was truly the best performance of "IMAGINE" I have ever heard. Still brings tears to my eyes. Jordis Unga has an amazing voice. No, she was not fit for INXS but is amazing on her own. Rock on!

  • very beautiful

  • Jordis rock! AMD <33

  • stapes you a fucken homo

  • Best cover of Imagine i've heard. I watched the show and she destroyed any INXS songs she sang - it was like she gave up at the end - too bad she was the most talented.

  • What a talent!!! She has an incredible gift. Where is she now? I believe she was the most talented singer on that show but her style was not suited for INXS.

  • She and three other female singers formed a rock-pop-gothic band called "Angels of Modern Destruction" or AMD! :D They have a MySpace-page!

  • Bewegend

  • she's a cutie just like Jessica Alba :P

  • i have no words she is stunning

  • malo aupito,tamnnnnnn.jordis is fareal reppin her dads side of the fam with this voice.=]

  • I'm speechless! Her voice is hauntingly beautiful. Exquisite.

  • how could she not have won with this performance or voice..her voice just blows me away. Does anyone know if she has released a solo album???

  • Jordis should have won that . Stunning voice . xxx

  • You are so right! This girl is very talented ... Gives me goose bumps!!

  • We sang this song at the march to overturn prop 8 (: it was so sweet. All these couples were holding hands, people were waving candles and cell phones and everything. Its so true to. "..And the world will live as one.." (':

  • I march in LA for Prop 8...good for you!!!

  • This was a great performance, I wish she'd won.

  • This performance gives me the chills.

  • i think even lennons smiling down on this, a young musician generations after him totaly getting his song!!!!!!!!!!!

    what a delivery smooth,emotional and shes really good looking too

  • my favourite version of "imagine" ever....

  • I was so excited when Jordis got to sing this, I knew she would do it justice. She nailed it, my second fav Jordis performance, and my fav song ever. Nothing but love for this.

  • better than lennon. thats saying something. house band shithot too

  • my favourite version of "imagine" ever....

  • Snappety-snap :)

  • i could not agree more!

  • mY FAVOURITE PART IS AT 1:32

  • MOE 'AU!

  • Omg, I remember when I first heard this! Jordis should've won.

    I really loved her version of 'Man Who Sold the World' too. :]

  • Should still be a great recording artist. Hope she is still at it.

  • gorgeous voice!!!

  • Perfectly executed vocals. Send chills down my spine.

  • I think Jordis is the best singer to ever come to American Idol! She has an amazing voice and more range than anyone. And by range I mean this. She can sing anything from Nirvana to John Lennon to INXS to Eric Clapton to Guns N Roses! You show me show me someone else who can do that and with as much talent as she did!

  • Good thing this isn't American Idol then, right?

    But I agree with the sentiment. Her voice is ridiculously amazing.

  • I hope your kidding with American Idol, Jordis, just do yout thing.

  • I CANT BELIEVE I LIVE IN HER TOWN!!! loland they should really keep a version of this background music i want to sing this in the talent show this year and i cant sing as high as the normal version and can sing this version perfectly so if anyone can plz find out how to get a version without word i would GREATLY appreciate it! THANKS!

  • Jorids, where are you? You are one of the most amazing female vocalists I have ever heard. I love your arrangements and your unique style.  Let us hear more from you!

  • I just heard she is leading a all girl group called: Angels of Modern Destruction

  • Amazing rendition! Love it!

  • Do you hear that french horn at 2:00?! My goodness, that's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard! I remember watching this on tv... I thought, "Oh no, she's singing Imagine?!.. nobody can sing that!".. and I stood speechless as the tears welled up in my eyes when she sang it. I will forever admit that only John Lennon and Jordis Unga can sing this song.

  • :) I agree it was absolutely a gorgeous addition, Elton John did a wonderful version of it as well.

  • really she deseved to win infact she should have well i dont know why inxs choose that shithead she is simply awesome

  • Somebody write this girl some songs and sign her, she's absolutly great!!!!!! I would buy that CD!

  • canta increible, me enkanto, Very Very GooD!!

  • Omg She's TONGAN!! i didnt even know

  • The accompanying band is awesome.. that french horn sounds amazing. This is perfect.

  • I LOOOVEEEEE JORDIS!!! SEE HAS AN UNBELIEVABLE VOICE...We loved her when she was on rock star INXS..Come Out with a CD I wanna buy it!! YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!

  • Her runs, octave change, strength, originality..omg..why the hell does she not have a cd..I would soo buy that shit! And go to every show..

  • congrats jordis, you are an awesome artist... I never liked inxs anyway...

  • 1:32 to 1:35 is simply ASTOUNDING.

    made me cry xD

  • awesome just awesome

  • i love her

  • shes awesome

  • beautiful

  • this reminds me alot of mr hollands opus

  • this song is awesome.Cool dudu.Let's pray to lennon.Amen....

  • imagine no religion... the world would live as one.

    damn religions!

  • jasilverstone, by consistent, do you mean, "Sounds exactly the same every time?" Jordis is improvising and making each song her own, something Archuleta is incapable of doing. I will agree with you that he does have a smooth voice and makes all the little girls wet, which is what Idol is looking for, but no one wants to hear someone sing someone else's song and make it sound exactly the same - that's boring as hell! Only cover bands and little fruity popstar wannabees do that.

  • Very nice

  • I just listened to David A's version. He's not even close to this. I don't even like this song but Jordis is way better on this one.

  • Shut the fuck up pussy.

  • haha

  • this is perfect

  • I love the way she sounds on this! She is awesome and very cute!! Go girl!!

  • Wow! Get the chills at every "you-oh may say..." especially at 2:40! Beautiful!

  • ditto. happened during the show for a lot of people.

  • I think there is a truly 'magical' quality to that part... I'm a 47 yr old man and this performance (of a song I never really cared much for) brings tears to my eyes every time I see/hear it. I'll take this rendition over Lennon's any day of the week.

  • Jordis is fantastic on this song Imagine. Shouldn't even mention David A's version in the same breath. Not even close. Jordis you are awesome.

  • I think Jordis sounds great but John Lennon is my fav!

  • Way better than Archuleta

  • david A's version sucked so bad

  • Love Jordis.

  • did jordis ever release an album after the show? why isnt she famous now??

  • I agree. I also think Jordis's version of Imagine is way better than Archuleta's.

  • i agree 100%

    she makes it sound raw and real

  • I disagree. David is still green, and it showed when he sang this song. He doesn't get across the powerful emotions that this song invoke. He is talented, but still has alot of growing to do, both as a person and an artist.

  • so disagree i think jordis sang this song much better then david
