  • Better than many people's covers. I have to give her that. Although, John's was best. I mean, who performs songs better than their composers?

  • everything madonna do is amazing.

  • Maddona sings great. maybe the sound is not awesome. But Maddona did it good.

  • POWERFUL !!

  • John Lennon > Madonna

    John Lennon > Lady Gaga

    John Lennon > Cee Lo Green

    John Lennon > Celine Dion

    John Lennon = One of the greatest, if not THE greatest recording artist of all time. It utterly disgusts me that people are actually comparing these hacks to a true legend.

  • @hj7397 Everyone has an opinion and different tastes. Learn it, or bite your tongue. PS, I'm not a Madonna, Gaga, Cee Lo, or Dion fan.

  • Say what you will about Madonna, she doesn't make a meal of this song like Celine, Christina and GaGa do. She keeps it simple because she appreciates what a beautiful song it is, for which her lovely tones suits perfectly.

  • Plz do not do a vibrato. Your poor would can't take. It. Ps her voice is really not that great. Yea its ok but eh.

  • goosebumbs!

  • Bad cover...pfff

  • Gaga > Madonna

  • You can say everything you want, but from women singer versions of this great song i prefer only Madonna, no gaga, no Avril Lavigne, no Aguilera, but only Madonna! Have a nice day everyone!!!

  • she could help more if not were a fuckin bitch wearing FUR

  • pasmieux k'elton john

  • this is the best cover, not just becouse is the queen, this is really the best cover

  • Imagine's Cover ... GAGA>Madonna>X-tina

  • @ErtiAmaterasu For loads of reasons why hades is wildly improbable try Richard Dawkins, Robert M. Price, Kenneth Humphreys, John W. Loftus, Valerie Tarico, Dan Barker, Victor J Stenger, David Mills, Tentmaker777. Anyway a loving good God would either take people to heaven or let them cease to exist. Gods are a failed hypothesis. We evolved.

  • This put tears in my eyes, just sayin'

  • You have to admit, she did a great job here.

  • i think "Imagine" by Emmanuel Kelly on The X Factor 2011 version might be pretty good too

  • Guys. You say you like Gaga's version better but you don't seem to remember that even Gaga's was a cover. The very very best version was the original by a hero. John Lennon R.I.P

  • i don´t like madonna voice!! lady gaga´s version is the better!!

  • @hidalgo699 - True. I read or heard somewhere that Gaga sort of copied one of M's songs, and that she's run out of ideas for songs already. It doesn't surprise me. She had a lot of tracks on her latest album.

  • @RadioactiveValium Yes :D

  • Jesus, this cover is shit.

  • NUNCA VAN A PODER IGUALAR A LENNON , LENNON FOREVER.

  • Gaga? Madonna? I don't know about you guys, but, I like Lennon's-- after all, there would be no Gaga version or Madonna version if he hadn't written it and sang it in the first place. No one can sing a song like the writer can.

  • rubbish

  • Madonna, imagine you supporting the occupy movement!!thats what Lennon would have done.

  • prefiro cantado por glee

    obs: não vão entender o que eu escrevi, mas pra que serve o google tradutor né ?beijos do Brasil !

    =)

  • Madonna Amazing Voz

  • Not her best - flat and boring. Looks like she's really struggling here. some of her low notes are really bad

  • @kanIamm - Amen. Not a good choice of song for her vocal range. 

  • @tamay1794 Lmao ur real dumb. Gaga has 1 million more views then this crap. She is too flat.

  • @KimberlyLovesYa - Amen, my sista from a notha motha.

  • elegancia se llama..........fantastica!

  • @tamay1794 the Gaga's version has more views than this shit so.............

  • @mrduffos just because is a video from technology era and because all of you that maintain her finger on f5, don't be ridiculous

  • @tamay1794 yeah, that must be the reason..... hahahahahahaha loser!

  • I like more christina aguilera version

  • love madonna

  • Her voice really is average... O_o I thought she was better. Lady Gaga's cover is a billion times better, her voice is intimate during the song, and then it gets very powerful at the end. And she plays the piano too.

  • she sings it good, better than christina aglera

  • God bless gaga , who is this girl singing?

  • this si horrible..she cant sing...she needs to not thinka bout how to sing it best when sh'es singing but feel the song..the only way to be able to sing is to do it from your herat..her singing is just so..calculated..and bad...i'm sorry she has some great songs of her own but sh'e a bad singer anyone with an ear for music will see that..but her die hard fans are so dellued that thet'll like her no matter what)

  • Terrible. 

  • oh noooooooo

  • SHE SOUNDS LIKE TRASH

  • Why is it not as Seen as Lady Gaga's song??? What's the FUCK??

  • perhaps one of the best covers of imagine...

  • @abhikoolblue agree and mage is an underrated vocalist live

  • The original is unreachable, but this version is very good. Madonna has courage, she's the best!!!!!

    

  • @lisaap768

    Than she must speak the words,... and not sing them, than she show's really respect

  • i like the instrumental backing to this cover :D n she did good

  • Lennon is Legend Madonna is a wannabe

  • @estelle1321 - M's singing voice has it's good moments, but this was not one of them. I just got done watching Lady Gaga sing this same song, and it was effortless for her. M one the other hand has a hard time with carrying long notes, and her voice is not as pure as Lady Gaga's.

  • @estelle1321 Oh...

  • @estelle1321 Who's lady gaga? I'd say the original is the best.

  • she just sing this song to help supporting the project to help the tsunami-victims

  • Her voice isn't that great...

  • the singing wasn't remarkable, but it wasn't bad.

    however, the instrumental accompaniment was TERRIBLE!  way to ruin it!

  • she is too frozen for this song

  • Queen??? OMG we need to understand that we only call her Queen beacuase she's alive, when she's gone , shw will be a legend like aretha, she is the best selling female artist ever, she break every records.....but lennon it's a legend, let's just enjoy the cover ;;P

  • stop compare madonna and lennon,listen this version and stop,don't break the balls

    

  • wooooo

  • Love it :)

  • YOU CANT COMPARE A QUEEN WITH A LEYEND(god of music)

  • Madonna is beutiful.

  • If anyone had to be picked to cover this, I'd rather it be Madonna than say, Justin Bieber or whatever his name is.

    Everyone complaining needs to get off of their high horses. Music is all about interpretation and rebirth. At least this song is living on you know?

  • She is the Queen of Pop, but what the heck is she doing singing a John LEGEND song?

  • God Save The Queen Of Pop .... it's the best recovery, i love ...

  • @djlamota13 i dont think god save her she solld her soul to the devil it was probably the devil who save her!

  • When this first aired, I was waiting for her to fall off that chair Lol! I adore Madonna, but this re-make is 100% bad.

  • Don't get me wrong, Madonna has a reasonable voice, but she sings this with absolutely no feeling. I don't think the backing music really did this any favours either. I need to listen to the orgininal now or I won't be able to sleep tonight!

  • She sang this a lot better live on her tour watch?v=EP5OhMXd8S4

  •  Legend?!!!

    he's the part of Legend - the Beatles

  • This was nice. Her voice is great

  • Queen's version of this is 10x better and in my opinion the only one that does John justice

  • I love this song. She delivered the song and that's good. She has an excellent voice. Wish all you haters just leave this page if you really dislike this version of the song. Hell, I don't like any of Lady Gaga's songs. Do you see me take the effort to go troll and express hate on her YouTube pages? No. Seriously guys. Enough is enough!

  • Madonna, you ain't worth the sweat off John Lennon's nuts

  • @777jimmyxxx you "aint" worth fly's shit with an attitiude like yours so why even come on here to speak hatred. John Lennon wrote a song about love and how wars are based on hatred and here you are speaking like a hateful prick. Im at the point where after reading some of you comments, you all act like such big fans of J. L.'s but obviously almost all of you have NO real idea what he was talking about based on your comments. He'd be ashamed to hear u talk about another human being the way u do!

  • @lightyears1981 he used to piss off the balcony on the nuns heads in Hamburg!!! Look, I know later in life he was into peace and all that, but don't make him out to be a saint!!! He'd be the first one to laugh at you!!!!

  • Hes A POS

  • Whatever you think of her the fact is this was horribly soulless!! If there was not video and a studio she would be out of work. Thank the heavens she does not sing live! Give me Kylie Minogue any day!

  • @pinudown1984 yes you are right there - i like madge but this was deffo one to put into her cellar and never be heard again

  • @pinudown1984 Actually Madonna ALWAYS sings live unless its a challenging dance routine. And btw, if it werent for Madonna, thered be NO Kylie to speak of! Madonna paved the way for women in music to have such careers. She's the original Queen of Pop for a reason, so you can hate all you want but theres no challenging the sales she's had with her LPs, singles, tours, and side projects.

  • She's great but i prefer Alex Korvis's singer version. ;))))

  • she sang it beautiful and wonderful she is the best fuck the rest shut the fuck up you all get jealous stupid idiot pigs

  • i get so sick and tired of how so many people say Madonna cant sing! She is an average singer. I'd like to see some of those who bash her try to sing a song! She has a limited range but what she has done with it throughout her career is wonderful.. Most pop singers do not change there style of singing on every album they way Madonna has.. John Lennon wasnt a great singer so I really dont thing she basterized the song.

  • THE WENCH IS BUTCHERING THIS SONG AND SHOULD BE *#!*!#%&##

  • She butchered the song

  • No this is great!! I love her just singing, connected to the song, and her lower register is so rich!

  • the most amazing thing about modonna is how little talent she has.shes done fine without it.but doing this song kindda UNDERLINES it.

  • @roman14032 lol i found that funy i love madonna but yea she does not get a A+ n having talent but i think she gets like a c+ or B-

  • @tsharrod i'll give her a B ,i'm generous.she deserves some compensation for lady gaga stealing her act

  • Comment removed

  • Two things Madonna cannot do 1) Play guitar & 2) Sing Imagine.

  • @JacktheDragon10 i hope some day you´ll join us.....peace :)

  • Imagine This sense

    MU S.O.S The World

  • She has such a deep voice. Is it because of her old age?

  • Good or not good, is a good cause!!

  • Hermosa cancion, y para nada que ver con la destruccion de un tsunami, es un mensaje que debemos entender... somos uno solo!!!

  • well i think anyone can sing this song and it would always sound beautiful

  • JUST PERFECT !!!!

  • What is this fuckery?!

  • Doesn't sound bad at all!

  • She's better than Lady Gaga, so who cares. Still a good song, she sang it nicely.

  • The world living as one, whilst you have more of the earth’s recourses than most people in the world. Would you really like to live as one? Share everything equally? Or is this song just an image building exercise that increases your wealth even more, at the expense of less wealthy people?

  • Well, i like... it's no more than her style

  • as much as i love madaonne... can we say that this = FAIL ?

  • @FaceTune how is this a fail?

  • @plamenlesev because she is no where near as good as John Lennnon was. I love Madonna but I agree with FaceTune.

  • LOL!!! 1-800-HELP NOW IS RIGHT!!!

  • Madonna has officially destroyed now two of the best songs in the history of music. American Pie and Imagine. Oh well, at least she tried.

  • why is everybody comparing Lady gaga to Madonna? hello madonna is unique, have a better voice and is original. Lady gaga is copying every other singer... like bjork, grace jones, cher and madonna. so... stop comparing Lady gaga (pure shit) and Madonna!! =D

  • Comment removed

  • @rehtafsedaj777 It's pretty hypocrite when someone like Madonna sings this song!

  • she sux gaga did better and at least gaga can play the piano and sing at same time and madonna? she think that she can play the guitar xD

  • Gaga is better. So much better

  • and when there are awful things happening to the world,like the tsunami in a country that is very poor the voice of an artist (who sings TO HELP)should be the last thing to pay attention

  • you people shouldn't talk about Madonna because i don't think that you can sing at all.especially better than her.she has a very good voice and she sings with her own style and has her own style.that is what people see in her these 3 decades .she's different and that's what people like.unfortunately some other people don't seem to like this .they envy her and the only thing that they can do is judge her...

  • DONT DARE TO TOUTCH THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!! RESPECT!

  • Listen to Alex Korvis "imagine" , he's much better then Madonna. :-)

  • good ole madonna. everything she touches turns to......well it doesn't smell like music anymore. Best cover of imagine? Neil young's.

  • People is so evil with this woman. I dont know why

    Maybe because she has been popular for around 3 decades.

    She did a great job here, she sings great. But her voice is darker and deeper than John Lennon´s.

  • @pablorubiolugo no. it's because never before someone who cannot sing for shit has become famous for 3 decades. this is absolute crap and her fans are at the stage where she can fart and they think its brilliant. in years to come people will be trying to work out how she could be famous for so long with low to average talent.

  • dude, cannot sing for a shit????

    You must be angry with her. I would say "cannot sing for a shit" with other people, but this woman has good vocals. Not perfect, but who has??

  • @pablorubiolugo

    Celine Does! She has PERFECT VOCALS!!!!!!

  • Celine Dion´s voice is very beautiful and has a big range, but that doesnt mean Madonna is a bad singer

  • @pablorubiolugo

    Madonna is a good performer. I cant say she has the best vocals out of all the singers out there...but thats not always what counts in becoming famous.

  • At least Madonna can say that she has performed twice in Academy Awards, in several grammy ceremonies and events her ballads.

    She got a paper in a musical, and won a golden globe for that. And she has used her voice for orchestal and classical music.

    She is better than all today trashy singers.

  • MADONNA IS BETTER THAN EVERYONE ... !!! 

  • I like this version =) ♥

    MADONNA is MADONNA. ;D

  • New song hear...

  • =)

  • She's not trying to make this song better than John Lennon. She is singing this for a reason, and giving this song more recognition to a younger audience thats doenst know the great work of Lennon. If you wanna talk about covers, she's actually better than most that have tried: Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera. They all have great voices but Madonna sings this better than their covers. Check it out for yourself.

  • Stop comparing Madonna with John Lennon, please.

    He is Untouchable. Unreachable. He's a fucking Legend!

  • @BrunoSantosOrg

    you're right man ! John Lennon was the best !

    She's not good for this song.

  • @BrunoSantosOrg it is not a comparison between them,she's doing a tribute.also it was for charity....sucker...

  • @BrunoSantosOrg i heard madonna is quite the effing legend herself, altho, i have to admit, of an entirely different kind. LOL!

  • @BrunoSantosOrg I think Madonna is also a fucking Legend ;)

    Just tell me someone who don't know Madonna !

  • @BrunoSantosOrg Madonna should be banned from covering ALL TIME CLASSICS. This is simply atrocious!!!!!

  • Uhm... well, she didn't sing it bad, but when it comes to the music I'd definitely stay with the original!

  • ADOPT ME PLEASE ! <3 5/5

  • shes is terrible just terrible... American boys and girls, poor minds.... Have no idea about Celine Dion Aretha Franklin Whitney Houston

  • i think declan galbraith sings this song the best. look him up. =]

  • suck better JHON LENNON

  • I think she did a good job, but i prefer the original one :)

  • LOVE IT :D

  • who originally sang this song?

  • @shuttakid Nigga, stop trollin'.

  • @DanDoesThat how am i trolln cunt ? all i asked was who orginally sang it. u fucking dumb?

  • @DanDoesThat brainwashed mother fucking fagget hoe disease

  • I'm a huge fan of Madonna, but she does not have the voice for this

  • Why are you complaining? She did a good job here!

  • Perfect. If there's one person in the world that can sing this song besides John Lennon, that's Madonna. It makes sense. Besides, she does a beautiful beautiful performance. Heavenly.

  • @NocturneSoul Hell No! You must be kidding right?

  • @kreeepyy No I'm not kidding. I mean it. Madonna not only sings this song like an angel, it really makes sense her singing this song, with all the philanthropic and humanitarian work she has done all these years and with all the messages of peace, love, brotherhood, justice and unity she has delivered in many of her songs. she is a warrior when it comes to be a peace maker, you know what i mean, she's awesome and I think she's perfect for this song.

  • your videos are amazing you should make a movie

  • cool video

  • Maddona,,, I love you but you just don't the soul to do this song! Good try, but not really!

  • Madonna sang this song to help the tsumamu's victims in 2004.She haven't time to prepare the show.And Imagine has great lyrics but the melody is quite a boring

  • madonna id rather eat my dogs crap than listen to this once.

  • love yah Madonna, but sorry girl you KILLED this song!

  • Awesome song!! I just did a cover of it. May John rest in peace. <3  Michaela

  • Das Arrangement ist in ordnung. Aber stimmlich, sagen wir ziemlich gewöhnungsbedürftig!

  • dreeeemaaar!!!
