  • total abomination, especially the carrie underwood part..

  • UGH!!! I just don't understand why people do this crap! Sgt. Pepper's is my ALL TIME FAVORITE album from the Fab Four and this was the most HORRIBLE display of "covers"! This ranks right up there with the Flaming Lips version of I Am The Walrus.....PITIFUL...JUST PITIFUL!

  • Okay, this isn't THAT bad. It's not good, but, it's not bad. It would have been better to hear a friendly voice singing like Paul or Ringo. But Joe Perry on guitar, that was pretty good.

  • Obviously Underwood was the best. After season 4, the show should've ended. They found the American Idol.

  • Talk about a complete abortion from start to finish.

  • Kelly Clarkson lyrics fail at 1.14

  • well this is my opinion about this: U COULD HAVE HIRED RINGO OR PAUL! OR YOU COULD ATLEST STOP SAYING ITS A TRIBUTE! AND OMG U ARE DESTROYING THE BEST SONG ABOUT A DAY EVER!! REALLY ITS A MASTER PEACE!!! AND OMG U CAN SING ALOT OF THINGS AND YOU ARE GOOD BUT THE PERSON WHO SINGS LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS NEED TO BE ON DRUGS OR JUST HAVE A VOICE THAT SOUNDS SO!! i dont even wanna comment with a little help from my friends.im okay so that and u can dislike as much as u want.

  • She didn't know the words

  • BOOOOOO!!!>:(

  • very bad!

    

  • Comments section for this video = Troll paradise

  • @SebastianOliva14 I was joking. I didnt come off right.

  • @SebastianOliva14 Really??? Sexist pig!!! The Paul and Ringo obviously don't care.

  • americans should not be allowed to sing Beatles songs. Saying that the vast majority of these people should not be allowed to sing full stop.

  • @SharkTheBruce That's extremely ignorant, especially considering that The Beatles were mainly influenced by American artists such as Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc. and viewed English artists as shit. Lennon even moved to the USA in the 70s because he hated England.

  • @rjkahlon Ahh, Elvis, Chuck Berry, yeah and many many more. America truly has given us some musical geniuses. And we go and give you one right back in John Lennon.......and you shot him. Cheers.

  • @rjkahlon Ahh, Elvis, Chuck Berry, yeah and many many more. America truly has given us some musical geniuses. And we go and give you one right back in John Lennon.......and you shot him. Cheers.

  • @SharkTheBruce And you stabbed George Harrison?. Great argument. Really shows the poor quality of England's education. What are you doing watching American Idol if you dislike American so much.

  • @rjkahlon Ah, 1-1. Paul or Ringo. Decisions decisions. 

  • @SharkTheBruce you are so ignorant. You are obviously not a true beatles fan. If you knew one bit about the beatles, they wanted they music to be spread, they wanted to be in america, that's why they came here. John Lennon wouldn't say, even accept the comment "american shouldn't be allowed to sing beatles song". Peace and love, i think it's beautiful that the Beatles music still thrives in the music industry today EVERYWHERE and so would they!

  • I think Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood were the best performances!

  • so baaaad,who likes this piece of crap?

  • THIS IS SO AWESOME.

  • joe perry is what you call a whore. i never liked his talent, hes very generic and will do anything including fuckin american idol to make a few bucks wow

  • me encanta kelly clarkson puede cantar todo le sobra voz

  • I fell in love with Kelly Clarkson

  • Can anyone ever cover a song with out adding syllables. "About a ma-ean whoooooo made ......... the GREA-ea-ea-ea-ea-deeeeee!"

  • Kelly Clarkson butchering lyrics totally destroyed this...

  • how can you have a girl start off this song? the way that the beatles start it off is too amazing to change

  • I appriciate this beautifull medley of The Beatles "Sgt-Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band"

  • Did no one notice at the very beginning she fucked up? She said sit b- were hope you will enjoy the show.

  • Lol Taylor's face 2:10

  • John Lennon and George Harrison whould be turning in their graves

  • @TheQouz I'd actually think they'd be pretty damn happy considering songs that they wrote 50 years ago are still very relevant in popular culture.

  • oh well I did enjoy those legs

  • WTFwa f'aerobjw iefgpwsdflhn sdzf g

    KRAMER

  • Why does every cover of With a little help from my friends turn into this whole gospel sounding thing, the beauty of the song is how simple the melody is and how in control the vocals are, not sounding like the backing vocals are trying to outdue the the lead like it is here.

  • these people dont care about the lyrics there singing, all they care about is looking good

  • can everyone understand that beatle songs can only be sang by beatles themselves.. all these people does is pay tribute to great legends, and it doesnt mean that they sing bad! just beacuse they sang it in their OWN WAY, beatles is proud for sure coz their songs can stands the test of time.. and stop hateing american idols, specially kelly and carrie is well knowned for their enormous VOCAL RANGES..

  • Ruben has the the best voice :)

  • Oh America.. why?

  • Fail.

  • carrie,,, you're so amazing!!!! from indonesia

  • Shit covers

  • I WOULD call this the worst Beatles cover ever,but I already heard The Jonas Brothers rendition of Hello Goodbye.

  • this is definitly opposite of the Beatles. Adam Lambert could have done WAY better than all of them. Plus Taylor Hicks looks like a rapist or at least a pedo-singer.

  • Comment removed

  • @Msemospongebob do you no who that guitarist is?

  • @rugbychick1 no, but i'm not saying he totally blew it and i never want to hear that noise again, im saying he's never gonna compare to THE George Harrison.

  • @Msemospongebob anywho its joe perry from aerosmith, i think he no's his shit lol, but i guess if your a huge beatles fan, some fans can't accept another person doing a cover for some reason. it's not the original, everyone knows that. but i think it's still entertaining.

  • @rugbychick1 yes exactly. I still think its entertaining, just not as good.

  • @Msemospongebob You know that guitarist is Joe Perry, right?

  • @TuckerswordsINC i just went through this. read some of the recent comments, some are mine and this other guy and he said the same exact thing you did. So shut up...

  • What a disgrace to the legacy of the Beatles. John Lennon would have no part of this shart if he was still living.

  • this is the opposite of The Beatles

  • At least "She's Leaving Home" was good :)

  • The Beatles are the greatest band ever but they ruin all the songs just like MTV

  • Sgt Pepper does not approve

  • john lennon and george harrison just rolled over in their graves. terrible, just terrible. whoever that first chick was, she has no business wearing a belly shirt.

  • Comment removed

  • whos the first guitar player

  • @ejlarsonstratford Joe Perry

  • They should learn the words before singing the song.

  • they could have called ringo or paul

  • @bluoggie ringo or paul wouldn't bother showing up on a pos like that. well, maybe ringo.

  • 6:55 it's hurley

  • Who's made the grade?

    No it's who made the grade.

    Seriously you sound like your singing Gospel too

    Jesus, Taylor Hicks screwed an amazing song up

  • I dont understand, where is Sgt. Pepper

    This dosent sound anything like

  • This is what you called , The Beatles ruined

  • Everyone is so mad that Kelly Clarkson is the queen.

  • *throws up on computer monitor*

  • How the heck Taylor Hicks won american idol, il never know. Kelly was the best, although carrie and rueben did well.

  • WOW Carrie! Carrie was incredible!!!!! Sheshez

  • best finale cause there was no fantasia.

  • sorry but i have to say it. FAIL.

  • Well she butchered the melody on Sgt Pepper's. I mean nice singing, but she took way too many liberties with the melody.

    Young kids got no respect for the classics. She probably didn't even know the song existed.

  • who is the girl with the british accent at the start?

  • As a mature Beatles fan, this is fantastic!!!. The singers do a awesome job, the band's fabalous.

    Great singers, super arrangement and timeless songs.

    :):):)

  • I loved the guitar playing by Joe Perry at the beginning. Great job Joe :D

  • I betcha 90% of the people who watched were wondering who they were singing lol

  • kelly is by far the best

  • is that Joe Perry from Aerosmith?

  • @MisterTomServo yes it is

  • @MisterTomServo

    Yup! That most certainly is Mr. Joe fuckin' Perry :D

  • Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds . . . . beautiful job.

  • Carrie is the best!!!!

  • whoever is at 7:30 makes me wanna smack her for some reason lol

    but overall I liked Kelly, she has an amazing voice.

    :)Gotta love the Beatles.

  • shes leaving home is the best cover :)

  • Wow the cover for A day in the Life Sucked...

  • Whiny female pop star vocals/ country men with grey hair who can't get the lyrics right sustaining the notes for too long are NOT NOT NOT meant to do Beatles covers. THANK YOU. Oh and also the guitar player does suck.

  • @SweetChick10101 >:U Be nice to Taylor hicks. He is more soul that country anyways

  • Woah, family show. Dont say "High with alittle help from my friends". *sarcasim*

  • Thank goodness this ain't 1967 with The Doors on Ed Sullivan!

  • joe perry's a good guitarist, but he played badly here

  • i thought a day in the life sounded good, still a very americanised version though

  • Well...they are Americans so I guess that makes sense!

  • loved "she's leaving home"

    lucy sucks LOL

  • horrible

  • Lucy in the sky with diamonds mode N sync xdddd

  • this is horrible

  • it makes me laugh so much when I see Beatles' fans who get so pissed when others sing their songs... it's amazing how a band like the Beatles came out during the 60's and were all about peace and love.... yet their fans are probably the cruelest and rude people ever... my God, yes the Beatles sing their songs the best but that doesn't mean that the Idol winners didn't sing them well... OH and just for the record didn't Kelly beat one of the Beatles records on the charts??? Just saying

  • @IdolReady So she's better than the Beatles because she beat ONE of their records on the charts?! HAHAHAHA!! Back in Black is the greatest selling rock album of all time but that doesn't make AC/DC the greatest rock band ever. Michael Jackson has the greatest selling album off all time, is he now better than your fat whore Clarkson? You gotta be a fucking retarded if you think album sales = talent, dude... Just saying

  • Comment removed

  • @IdolReady Oh, do I fit that description of a Beatles fan now? Well you'll have to excuse me for making fun of someone stupid enough to compare Kelly Clarkson to The Beatles. Shit, you'd figure if she was "just as succeeding in the business" as the Beatles, she'd have a hugely successful career. Clarkson was no more than a fad, an artist who was popular only for a little while and then faded into obscurity. In 50 years, no one's gonna remember her nor will anyone care except you and her cult.

  • @IdolReady She didn't even know the lyrics to Sgt. Pepper! That shows that she doesn't even listen to The Beatles. I guarantee you she never even heard that song before and had to memorize them before she went on. If you honestly think she's as good as The Beatles, then you've got a LOT to learn about music, kid.

  • Comment removed

  • @IdolReady Yes, I am an asshole, lol. I admit it. It's called trolling, meaning I enjoy bothering gullible idiots like you because it makes you mad, which amuses me. Welcome to the internet, dude.

  • Comment removed

  • @IdolReady Eh, regardless if you're mad or not, you're still responding to my comments and your responses are still amusing, nonetheless. And I said shitty cover, not any male singer cover. And I know how appreciate covers too, some guy on American Idol did an excellent cover of Dream On by Aersomith. Hell, even the Jonas Brothers did a good cover of Drive My Car by the Beatles. Not that that changes my opinion on them. I just don't like these song covers because...well, they suck lol.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheTruMetal whatever dude... this whole thing has been incredibly dumb and I'm sorry we disagree.. good luck and have a nice life

  • @IdolReady Y4h, U 2 uиk□wи bяudd4h!!! ;D

  • @IdolReady But in all seriousness, you can't blame fans of the Beatles for being outraged by these pop singers butchering classics, can you? If some talentless male singer went and didm a shitty cover of your favorite Kelly Clarkson song and everyone loved it, I guarantee you'd be freaking out over it if you're as passionate about Clarkson as you make yourself out to be.

  • @TheTruMetal I completely agree. I have pretty much given up trying to reason with people these days about how little album sales has to do with real talent or longevity. There are artists who made some of the most incredible music ever and you never hear it on the radio because of the influx of whatever is popular at the moment. The Beatles and a few other bands are the exception as they topped every chart and were still incredibly brilliant young men with immense talent.

  • the singers nowadays have no uniqueness no more all their singin style are all the same. they can never achieve the power of the beatles..

  • i think its fun that the best band in the world is been covered so mych times!! , i dont think its bad , its fantastic how beatles still is the biggest and best band in the worldf !! but, beatles do their song the best way, no one can make them better than themselves.

  • man, kelly nailed it

  • Not bad, if you consider the beatles greatness compared to modern stuff...

  • Dude, A Day In The Life is not supposed to be sung like gospel.

    Keep that shit at church.

  • @Beatleboy62  forget him, sorry john lennon for that cover... ok?

  • @Beatleboy62 there can be crossover of genres, but this particular song was a fail.

  • @Beatleboy62 - i actually like what taylor hicks did with his bit. he was feeling it. there's a difference between being a real beatles fan, and being so up their butts that you automatically reject anything remotely different from the original interpretation. And you're talking to the biggest beatles fan in the world.

  • @Archaebob I agree, I loved Taylor Hicks' interpretation. That's what artists do, interpret the songs, not just parrot them. I am a huge Beatles fan as well and think this was a great production. Carrie sounded amazing as well.

  • That was fucking horrible...

  • A Toad373 said beatles covers sucks. Some on youtube are good.

    The problem is American Idol and all these fuckings idiots, put their on twist in it. Doing all these vocal techinques, and unnecessary soloing. Keep it straight as you possibly to the song, not be a douche by doing high pitch squeals. With a little help from my friends.

  • go carrie!:)

  • its nice to remember The Beatles music- but they need to pick who's allowed to compete more carefully- some of the people competing are awful! osme people like David Archuleta and Katherine McPhee are actually decent though

  • 1:14 = lyrics fail!

  • @ruskybalboa I know, I cringed at that part. I bet she never even heard that song before and had to memorize the lyrics before she went on. Goes to show you that the chicken shit pop and hip-hop musicians don't know a damn thing about real music, let alone the Beatles.

  • @xRockandMetalx HA... actually Kelly has admitted in interviews that she does listen to the Beatles and probably knew the lyrics before she was ever asked to do this medley... Kelly is an incredible musician but you wouldn't know that because you are too busy trying to sit on the same pedestal as the Beatles to realize that Kelly actually more talent in one little pinky then you do in your whole body... just because she is a contemporary singer does not make her any less of a musician

  • @IdolReady Lol, pump the brakes a little there, dude. No need to get pissed off and start crying just because I insulted your idol. Listen, I've got better things to do than to fight with pop-obsessed children like yourself so I'm dropping this right now. A little word of advice: everyone has their own opinion and shouldn't matter to you if it disagrees with yours so going off on them for it just makes you look like a jackass. Good day to you, sir.

  • @xRockandMetalx ...... yeah I am the jackass.... because looking at a video that is obviously something you weren't going to enjoy and taking the time to insult the singers in multiple posts makes you any less of a jackass then me... so go ahead and drop it... it's only cause I am right.... PS, I am not a child, in fact I am not even that much younger then you... just because you listen to music from the 60's, doesn't make you any more mature then me

  • @ruskybalboa Lol, even Joe Perry looked over at that point and was like, "What the fuck are you doing?"

  • Joe perryyyyyyyy:O:O!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god...:'(

  • Paul McCartney is still alive....

  • With a little help from my friends was the best one, and i like Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Sgt Peppers, A day in the life and She's leaving home FAIL.

  • DAMN!!! There's so much hate in this YouTube video!

    Why can't we all get along?

    Besides, this was just a TRIBUTE! I'm pretty sure you would like to sing a Beatles' song too just to express your affection towards them, even if you suck horribly! It has nothing to do with showing them up, it is just to show love for them. So stop hating, and criticizing.

    I don't see you singing up there on TV like they are, so shush your faces!

    Plus, Kelly and Carrie rocked! At least they sing in tune!

  • @FRED542789 Wow, haha you're right, i like the way you think (:

  • @AldoSting There was a rumor going around the time Sgt. Pepper's album came out that paul was dead. Only true beatles fans knew that, and now you do too. So welcome to the club! :-D

  • @powerphillg5 wtf only true retards would believe that shit

  • Comment removed

  • rueben was painfull.

  • someone help! what is the title of the song taylor hicks sang..?

  • 1:15 "Sit hope that you enjoy the show"? Oops...

  • this was good.

  • I'd rather listen to a guy speaking danish than the girl at the start. not the song. the girl who is speaking like 5 seconds.

  • This is why I don't watch american idol.

  • she has nice hips.

  • to all the "there were only two" there was a conspiracy that paul had died in 1967 in a car wreck so .... you guys suck XD

  • the snotty beatles fans here should stifle their whining.

  • Terrible. I want to shoot them.

  • @pyromaggot91 wipe the snot from your nose.

  • @j1train Thanks man never would have noticed it was there if it wasn't for you. Godsend.

  • I saw Carrie in concert about a week ago, and she is so AMAZING in person. Her and Kelly, the BEST Idols EVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Toady373 I know exactly what you mean! What has the world come to? Bieber and Miley out the making 'careers' out of their rubbish!

  • @Wade3Brad6 I know, I want to become famous by actually having talent, not famous dads or voice editing software. They don't write their songs which is stupid and they don't do the beat in the background. Music today sucks.

  • @Toady373 I so agree about everything you said rofl im 14 too and the latest music i like is alice n chains and nirvana but i also love the beatles

  • @Toady373 Actually some of them did know the lyrics of the songs, im sure. I am 15, a die hard beatles fan, and I think It was sweet to see a Beatles trib on American Idol. BTW Dont forget that the beatles themselves recreated tons of songs as well... =_ =

  • @Toady373 People like you who don't know a thing about music but still pretend to really piss me off. You clearly don't understand anything about what the Beatles are all about. The genius of the Beatles WASN'T that the band members were incredible at the instruments they played. The genius was in the songs they wrote! The combination of instrumental proficiency with these incredible songs is what makes many beatles covers great! These ones aren't good, but you can't say all beatles covers suck.

  • @Toady373 Coudnt agree more, and it wouldnt surprise me also if they didnt know the songs before they did this. I maybe just say that cause im a hardcore beatles fan but if someone there actually was a beatles fan i think they should be able to to a Beatles cover, if not, just dont do it..

  • @Toady373 Don't be an ignorant fuck. If people didn't cover beatles songs like this, their music would probably die. You should be spreading their music. All four of the beatles would be ashamed to have you as a fan. Thanks to this (albeit crappy) performance, maybe another thousand people fell in love with the beatles. It's people like you that give older music a bad name. Teaching is always better than rejecting.

  • carrie was the best

  • @powerphillg5, you are mistaken, two are alive Paul and Ringo.

  • THIS IS VERY UPSETTING!!
