CEE LO GREEN BUTCHERS JOHN LENNON'S IMAGINE (NEW YEARS EVE 2012) TIMES SQUARE NY

[HaloFreak2323]

@tricksterD8 dude, stop prophetizing. it makes you sound arrogant and does the exact opposite of what youre aiming to do.

[rocketman5989]

Cool

[deadaerith]

@savannah: There wasn't an "uproar" when Lennon first sang it. Atheists make up over 10% of this country. And that's just ones open enough to admit it on a census. I'm not a fan of editing paintings to suit some crybaby religious nut and I'm sure as hell not a fan of editing song lyrics to cater to hypersensitive nuts either. Fact is, religious divisiveness causes a lot of the problems in the world and THAT's what Lennon was singing about. What they should have done was another song.

[mastersackie]

i learned this song in the 8th grade

[loveruleshate]

BOYCOTT Cee LoW Green!!!!

His idiotic BASTARDIZATION of John Lennon's immortal song, is more than an insult to the mans memory, it's an insult to the intelligence of the masses. John Lennon was voicing what we all know... That more Wars have been waged in the name of Idiotic, Nonsensical RELIGIONS than for any other reason! 4Q Cee LoW Green in your Pimp outfit you were wearing that night while trying to sound so spiritual. I for one have trashed all of your crap.

[TimW405]

To those saying that it's not a big deal that he changed such a small part of the lyrics: You do realize that the new lyrics do not make sense to the rest of the song, right?

[tricksterD8]

Imagine...God has said the fool has put in his heart there is no God. Jesus Christ is the Truth. and he loves you all just as much as he does anyone. so come to Christ and repent of sin (breaken Gods law) we all have at least once done that. repent means change you're mind of thinking. and turn from sin to look at Jesus Christ and ask for forgivness. he died on the cross for ALL men and wemon. so He could free us when we ask. God Bless friends.

[rednecktrucker1969]

@tricksterD8 jesus also said, anyone who calls a man a fool is going to hell....lmao.

[tricksterD8]

@rednecktrucker1969 no...he didnt say that. fool is just someone that has placed in their heart that there is no God. thats all. does not mean they are stupid or bad...nothing like that at all. just means they are telling themself there is no God. thats all man. this is what God's word teaches on fool.

[rednecktrucker1969]

@tricksterD8 yes he did say that, your ignorance of your religious texy is not a valid excuse.

[tricksterD8]

@rednecktrucker1969 No he did not. dude you don't know the Bible. I think ppl would like to go by what the Bible said. not what you think. also I'm not in a religion bud. I have a relationship. so please go lie some other place. we dont want to hear you're stupid lies dude.....God bless.

[rednecktrucker1969]

@tricksterD8 Your inability to read your own book is amazing, but then again, i have read the bible cover to cover 2 times, and am well versed with the garbage it contains. You will go on blissfully ignorant of what you claim to believe. I lie to no one, you however, lie to the only person that matters to you....yourself. Good luck with that.

May god-be-less to you too. :)

[tricksterD8]

@rednecktrucker1969 Just BC you say you have read the Bible front to back does not mean you get it....things of the Bible are foolish to the sinful man. over talking to you man. i got better things to be doing. like talking to ppl about the good news of Christ. who really want to hear it. you are just fighting you're own bad conscience. talk to God about it. he rote the Bible. God bless

[RawrJumping]

@tricksterD8 Because the bible can be interpreted to match your current beliefs or whatever else you may choose to believe on a particular day, right?

[tricksterD8]

@RawrJumping Its not about what I WANT to believe. its about what is right. and true. Thats the real Jesus Christ. not this fake religous Jesus the world talks about. no one likes religion man. I know I dont.

[19mg94]

damn niggers

[TheHyperHobo]

Wrong words aside, he fucking ruined the song. Horrible.

[Afbmikey]

i think he did well

[Jakerboy11]

I dont really care if he changed the words, he did a great job singin imagine. I love that song and i love the beatles and john lennon, but i dont see why people would be mad over something stupid like that. Im tired of people that think that john lennon is jesus christ.

[owasso8775]

Curse me, hate me, e-mail me with your hate mail. I still believe, and so do billions of other people.

[owasso8775]

Thousands of years from now after all you athiests are gone to dust. PEOPLE WILL STILL BELIEVE IN GOD.

[bqm777]

he cant sing swear to god

[imjustbryan1]

Man who cares? I was more unhappy with his singing voice than the fact that he altered another singers lyrics. This happens every day. Who cares if it's John Lennon? May John RIP but this is some silly bullspit. Many people didn't even KNOW this song existed before Cee Lo sang it. Cee Lo doesn't care of your bad opinions of him anyhow. Most of the ones hating aren't his fans in the first place. Get a grip people. NOBODY'S lyrics are above being altered by another artist for whatever reason.

[jackbauer12321]

I COMPLETELY agree with your remarks... the whole point of that song is to imagine a world without countries, religion and heaven/hell. seriously, that lyric is literally the premise of the entire song.

[PKZillah]

5:37 of blua blua blua blua blua blua blua blua blua blua blua blua (blablabla in a NYC accent)

[keybobrob]

.all these assholes gettin bent out of shape cuz he altered some lyrics..So where was the F%#$KING OUTRAGE from ALL these complainers when the technique of digital SAMPLING became more and more acceptable in the music world. A lot of Sampling is nothing more than STEALING or ALTERING sumone elses "creative works"&calling it ur own! Artist got so used to doing it, they really believed that it was their OWN creation...Totally skewed thinking. How dare he change the Lennon Bible!!..Aww geta life!

[Salafi4us]

OK, John Lennon was atheist, so to say "no religion" would be wrong for someone who knows there is a God. I believe that's why Cee Lo Green changed the words. I'm sorry, but I don't worship John Lennon, he was just a man that has his affairs with God now! No heaven or Hell, right.

[jakeyw11]

@Salafi4us I know for a fact that John Lennon existed and when you consider that much of his work is still having an impact on earth today in a way he still exists... You can't make that same claim about God.

[smokey11able]

DngerousRadical well that is one thing that he has. his own music.

[smokey11able]

DngerousRadical you right dude

[smokey11able]

randomkidzgonewild i agree with.

[smokey11able]

cityducky i agree

[DngerousRadical]

Fucking fat fuck, what the hell is wrong with this fat faggot?

[dasherb11]

Ceelo Green FUCKED UP this song hard. Not only did he change the lyrics, he changed the meaning. If Cee lo had a problem with it he should have not sung it.

[NeedNineNamesNow]

hi nice review, but imagine is not about hitting the notes either.... its about coming from the right heart. the songs cee lo green sings do not make him a john lennon type of singer. in fact none of the pop singers i know from the last decade or 2011 have the right to sing imagine. John lennon was all about equality and having power to people. do you know anyone who sings about that stuff? now its just sucking up to MTV and justin bieber crap. Again its not about hitting the note. bye. :)

[southpore1]

CUDOS TO CEE LO GREEN! HE HAS RESTARTED HIS CAREER! CEE HAS MORE FANS THAN EVER! FUCK JOHN LENNON THE ATHEIST!

[Bigtender]

@southpore1 love thy neighbor

[southpore1]

@Bigtender SUCK IT!

[SykoKid75]

@southpore1 So what your saying is, you worship every religion....

[southpore1]

@SykoKid75 I respect all religions. John Lennon was an atheist libtard.

Go back to your NASCAR racing, Goober.

[anx1106]

i thought his voice was good but the lyrics surrised us all but he did good.... ppl need to stop gettin there panties in a bunch ppl make mistakes...

[BadVoodo0]

eventhough i believen god, you dont do that, if your going to sing a song you didnt write "good or bad" you DONT disrespect the song by changing the lyrics, you sing it as it is

No Religion No Heaven No Hell, i believen god but you dont do that

[smokey11able]

please some shoot ceelo green why do fools have to fuck up good music.

[smokey11able]

fucking so pathtic this man has no talent why do fools have fuck with lennons legecy.

[southpore1]

@smokey11able LENNON = LIBTARD

[VidsJEM]

Finally someone brings religion into music and ignores the no religion crap people say. He sings the songs he can do whatever he wants and I respect that

[doubledeeder]

i dont care how bad he screwed it up....i just cant believe I missed this. the one year where i fall asleep, a lennon song is on. EF!

[flynstl1]

@cityducky yeah, he should be. Not because of the lyrics, but because little fucktards like you took it upon yourselves the interpret his music and get it so fucking wrong that you even knowing how to read and write shocking.

[randomkidzgonewild]

wrong artist to sing imagine...that song is a worldwide classic....you CANNOT go round changing the lyrics to a John Lennon song....he is a poet

[ThePistolero909]

@randomkidzgonewild what about apc?

[dutch04]

As a huge Beatles/Lennon fan I say go ahead and change the lyrics. I'm not sure why people think Imagine is such a great Lennon song. He did so much better stuff. The lyrics really kind of say nothing anyway.........Nothing to live or die for..........no heaven or hell........no religions or possesions. Why do people think that is so wonderful? It's communist utopia crap! Again I'm a huge Lennon fan and have had his poster on my wall for over 30 years but Imagine just aint that great a song!

[SunglassesAtNite1]

John had it right.

[cityducky]

John Lennon should be rolling in his grave!!!!

[deadaerith]

Fuck the singing. HE BUTCHERED THE LYRICS. It's Imagine NO religion. NO heaven. NO hell.

[southpore1]

@deadaerith FUCK JOHN LENNON! HE WAS AN ATHEIST PIECE OF SHIT.

[savannahbarsotti]

@deadaerith You realize that he didn't butcher them (and I'm not at all saying I was pissed as hell that they edited the lyrics) but there is no way among all the Christians in this world that they were going to let him say and no religion too. =[ There would be an uproar

[turkybaconsandwish]

@deadaerith fuk you cee lo sings it way beta

[loubo02]

Yea he just can't actually sing. He might be a le to in a studio because the tech behind it but when it comes to actually singing he's clueless

[smokey11able]

@loubo02 that is why they call them no talent hacks.

[chekal122]

he really fuc*ed up this time

[Monieeclip]

He should stick to his own music! This sucks.
