  • This really touched me, I'm not gunna lie. <3 :')

  • this was so beautiful!

  • AVRIL WAS BETTER..

  • Pretty much the only artist in the Pop world I have any respect for.

  • Je suis vraiment fan d'elle !!

  • MOTHER MONSTER I LOVE YOU AND YOU UNDERSTAND US ALL WITH PEACE I TRULY LOVE YOU

  • How many times can I dislike a video? Unfortunately--- too little.

  • Amazing, i think John would be proud of this version of the song.

  • Great. But. I think she didn't have to change so many words... The song is already great.

  • I agree; I believe the reference is to Matthew Shepard, the young man who was tortured and left to die of his head injuries on a cold night in Wyoming by strangers who acted out their fear and ignorance and inhumanity, seeing him as their natural prey because of his sexual orientation.

  • Sub-Par

  • How can ANYONE not LOVE THIS? Homophobia has to stop! I have a gay daughter, and my husband cannot accept this, and it is destroying my family! But I will NOT give up that God will open up his heart to love.

  • id rather go to hell with all the gays then be in heaven with everyone else

  • @TheGfierce

    My Gosh,

    You have no idea what you've just wished for. I'm talking to you as a human being with a soul--- you have no IDEA what horror lies there. Demons, death, torture, fear, pain---- and all for ALL ETERNITY... NO ESCAPE.

    My Gosh,

    YOU MUST TAKE THOSE WORDS BACK.

  • @ThisMyUsernayme I hope your kidding. Please get over yourself.

  • @ThisMyUsernayme I agree with you, he's such an idiot...

  • I'm going to hell because I support gay rights... Well I was born in hell... Plus there's more evidence that there is such thing as the iluminatti than there is..your contradicting bible.

  • oh dear...

  • This woman is just... awesome. God bless her.

  • Wuv it! You have to love this! and her!

  • She changed it to sound like speechless?=D love you mother monster!=D

  • I'm a metal fan amongst other things but i have to admit, I like this girls style. not entirely to my taste but the music is good, she's thoughtful, shows talent, she's provocative and is a very good writer. yes ok this is a cover but its not because shes lazy and cant write her own stuff or anything. it was apt for the situation, another mark of a good musician. pop stars generally make my stomach turn but lady gaga, i have to admit, has impressed me. much respect for the crazy lady ^^

  • You are not God so don't say gays will go to hell you have no right to judge let me repeat no right. I support gays and i feel they deserve respect and not discrimination. Thank you GaGa for supporting gays. And plus there is no proof of a heaven or a hell. So i don't believe

  • I adore that woman - so beautiful outside and inside! What a blessing for the cause!

  • go gaga! did an awesome job. To all you trolls out there, if you really have nothing to do with your life but sit on a computer trolling pro gay videos, I feel pity for you.

    For the rest, not all of us christians are like that ;D (especially when you work in the arts!!!)

  • Starting to love her..I love you Gaga.

  • PREACH IT, SISTER.

  • CRAZY PEOPLE! You're all insane. Stop watching Lady GAGA, she doesnt want haters like you watching her.... if you hate gay pple (like the people below), then you can go hear something else. Go burn in your "hell" alone, thankyou, no one cares about your pathetic "opinions" we all know its HATE.

  • Gaga spoke with Yoko Ono about changing the lyrics and adding onto the song! It was alright for her lyrical changes and her addition to the song.

    Also: 'Matthew' is Matthew Shepard, who was a 21-year old college student. He was murdered and tortured because he was a homosexual... This world is disgraceful, everyone should follow John's message: To live as one, in peace and harmony: No wars, no violence: Only serenity and peace.

  • @einsatzdeath I don't appreciate the word faggot or the abbreviation of "fag". Please don't use it...

  • @einsatzdeath @FaithLynnGriffin I'm curious, do you think you'll avoid hell with that sort of hate in your soul?

  • @HereticalMartian You're the hater. You think that it's hateful to warn people that their sins are taking them to Hell, but the Bible says that is exactly what it means to not hate. If you had any love for humanity, you would shout out loud that fags are going to Hell if the don't repent. You have nothing but hate, and you're headed for Hell.

  • @einsatzdeath yet you shout out loud about how fags are gonna burn in hell. Ever read the 10 commandments? i dont believe any of them go along the lines of "dont bum fags" not even a little ps: at the bottom of the second stone.

  • @Fanglespangle There's more commandments than just 10, Bible-illiterate. Leviticus 18:22, for instance.

  • @einsatzdeath I'm aware of that. but the funny thing is these other commandments were not written on the stones. now i wonder why that could be hmm? i guess there is no room in this entire set of circumstances for Moses to interject his own personal beliefs. I mean, some guy who claims God had a chat with him wrote it down. this is surely infallible evidence! If this happened today, people would laugh at him and your own church would deem the guy a heretic!

  • @einsatzdeath last one cos this doesnt support a very good character limit and i dont want to spam this damn thing. Everything we are is by Gods own design. also he says to love one another and to forgive others of their sins. not that he forgave Cain but anyone who can claim the bible is consistant is a bit batty round the edges anyway. The one thing it does do its hardest to teach is to love one another, and to forgive. ever hear about the Westboro baptist church? cos they missed the point.

  • @Fanglespangle No, you missed the point. If you love someone, you will rebuke them for their sins to keep them from going to Hell (Leviticus 19:17). That's what love is. If you say, 'it's ok to be gay' then you hate them and are telling them lies which will damn their souls forever. We are all of God's design, but God is clear that he doesn't make everyone into honor. God makes many of his creations to destroy them (Romans 9:11-23). Only the repentent sinners -who stop- will be forgiven.

  • I am moved beyond words, she bought tears to my eyes.

  • I adore how she added the tune of Speechless in there :)

  • so beautiful and touching♥ brought tears to my eyes, Gaga sang this with such passion!!!

  • @sunedaze11 Shut Up.

  • Comment removed

  • @rap.; Imabristolbabe94 This song was written by John Lennon not lady gaga. Imagine is the most beautiful song written. Lady gaga has no right to change or add anything to this amazing tune..She brings nothing to the Lennon's classic words & what she added is needless crap. Imagine already says it all and is timeless!

  • for all you lady gaga haters listen to this song!

  • you idiot, John Lennon did covers of other peoples songs such as Ben E King and Buddy Holly, and put his own swing of things. Music is music, what you need to know is everyone respects what artists right doing a cover and changing a couple of words doesnt put it to shame. Learn music and do research. Lennon though Buddy Holly was the greatest and tried to sing and sound like him in alot f his songs

  • for all you lady gaga haters listen to this song!

  • she looks like Marilyn Manson

  • <3 :'D

    we love u Gaga

    truly and forever

  • @unlikeanyotherhuman hmm thanks

  • @unlikeanyotherhuman you good sir have coaxed me

  • damn you gaga you make this pop music that i hate then you do this how that you actually are a talented musician now i dont know what to think of u :l

  • Althought I hate her, I do believe that if she would try to make some songs with more quality, she could change the whole music industry. I mean, those last 12-15 years are the worst of music history! Imagine a Lady Gaga singing and creating those kind of songs, wouldn't she be wonderful? She has gain enough money and fame, its high time she do something about humanity, just like John did, she can do it.

  • @Koudounistis There is nothing wrong with the quality of her songs. She's amazingly talented, and shows it in every piece whether it's hers or someone else's.

  • "i'm not going to play one of my songs tonight, because tonight is not about me, tonight is about you"

  • Well done. Give the girl credit for stepping out to make a positive contribution.

  • Weak... I'll take the original John Lennon version anyday over this

  • ok... i love this song, lady gaga, and the gay movement... but she fucked the 1st and last couple of verses and kinda went off key a few times... like i said, im not bein rude, but she just fucked up a great LENNON song... she needs to make her own beat and create her OWN song called "Imagine", not desecrate on a fantastic John Lennon song....

  • 15 people dont understand music

  • Bellissimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • i like how she put part of speechless in there haha love her :)

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

  • visit us to see EVERY SINGLE LADY GAGA VIDEO AND SONG EVER MADE, ever, i promise. love, benji

  • y did she say mathew??

  • @sasafraz11 For matthew shepard.

  • i love this world :)... ecept all the killing, war and serpertetion fighting this world has came through if tat was allaway this world would b so nice

  • This is beautiful. She is so talented yet so humble. Her cover is straight from the heart.

  • O.M.G I REALLY LOVE GAGA. SHE IS THE BEST, AND SHE REALLY LOVE HER MUSIC AND OTHERS MUSIC. SHE SOUNDS AMAZING.

    LOVE HER ! <3

  • hold the cam still!

  • Shes like David Bowie and Madonna rolled into one.

  • @cyrenicteam I hope she doesn't pop out with some bullshit English accent in about 10 years or so. I remember the first time I heard Maddy do that; it was this tv show she'd done where she and Rupert Everett were driving around NYC and Jersey talking about "back in the day", and she was sitting there talking about being from Jersey while assuming that crazy Anglo accent, and it was just ridicu-silly. I don't know how Rupert Everett dealt with that. Glad it's gotten a bit relaxed over the years.

  • Shes like David Bowie and Madonna rolled into one

  • ......And Tyler in the sky.....

  • In this speech, not in all her speeches, she sounds really awkward, lol.

  • @stahlbaum11 lol she does sound awkward but not as awkard as my math teacher trying to teach a lessom.

  • she's just awesome, i love her

  • "& only Matthew in the sky" referring to Dada :) Cute.

    She's so damn gifted. Gaga I LOVE YOU O.O <333

  • I thought she was referring to Matthew Sheppard. The gay man who was murdered in Laramie Wyoming and tied to a fence because of his sexuality. Considering the event and her speech, this makes much more sense.

  • @Lasher820 yes this is refering to the death of matthew :(

  • @Lasher820 she was

  • Gaga sucks at talking :\ cocaine is a hell of a drug...

  • @holyhellbombsfromshi She doesn't do cocaine anymore...

  • Speechless!!! gaga is unique

  • this is really a good cover and the cause that she was there for it's realy worth fighting for,so she may be the queen of the mainstream but if she's doing all this i don't have anything else to say but respect!

  • IT´S GOOD, I LIKED HER ARRANGE... BUT NOT THE NEW LYRICS... NO NO...

  • I liked that she changed it up. Makes it so much more meaningful because its personal to her. Makes me feel her and her point of view

  • i like it

    but she shouldnt have changed it.

  • 100percentgamer

    can i just say you need too calm down and maybe get some anger managment you seen crazyy and even if your a big john lennon fan i still dont understand i think john lennon was an amazing singer and songwriter and seemed like an amazing person im not a huge fan but i have to say i am a huge gaga fan and if when she dies someone sang one her songs changing a few lines or whatever that well i wouldnt even care u need help !

    u crazzyyyyybitchhhh ..

  • Lady Gaga you are my new hero!

  • Oh no, eight people went to hit the "like" button and missed. Oh well.

  • Lady Gaga is a very unique and creative individual. She is like a chameleon. She can adapt to any style of music that was ever created and make it her own. Gaga has the ability that many musicians don't possess. I wish that there was a word that is more greater than the word "talented". I wish that there was a word that is even greater than the word "excellent". Her ability is indescribable. All I can say is that the word that can really describe the ability of this woman is "Gaga".

  • @TheMikeblue77 Thats why I think she should do something no other performance artist dares to do----create an album---where all songs are from a different genre of music. Cuz I know whatever she creates, whatever she sings, it will be OUTSTANDING!!! She IS a chameleon----SHE CAN DO IT ALL! I Totally believe that!

    (: Tina Marie :)

  • @PrincessLibra16 that's actually exactly what I wanted to do... Make a real album, from the heart, that speaks to the whole world about different problems, being accepted for who you are etc... I know it's a one in a million thing... but I do. I want to become like her, to inspire, to help. And every song have its own genre, as to the emotion of it.

  • @TheMikeblue77 you are so totally right! she is GAGA! X

  • @TheMikeblue77 Wow, that really made me smile (: i totally agree with you (: she is amazing.

  • @anth993 Aww thank you. Thats really means a lot. Yes she is so amazing! :)

  • This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Mama Monster.

  • @McHarrLennStarr Ummm, you're joking right? John lennon is in the dictionary. Lady Gaga is not and never will be. Period.

  • @bradass100 You're a rucking tard! Lady Gaga is just as legendary

  • @STshizuma Yeah, okay, just keep telling yourself that. And squirrels shit gold nuggets too.

  • @bradass100 who are you to say what will be or not, get some humility.

  • Dear Haters,

    I hope some day that you'll join us (Little Monsters) and the world will live as one.

    :)

  • im suprised gaga!I take back what i said of you not having talent.But i have a question,why write such"music"when you can preform such art?I would love to listen to you if you wrote more songs with the piano,guitar,so on!And im not saying that just because im neoclassical,those instuments are real tests of someones talent,and people coulden't dog you if you wrote and preformed with real instuments.I would realy like to sit down and talk to GAGA,because i see you'r not just another brainless girl

  • @daftmastercheifpunk From the interview w/ Show Studio (2/13)...

    "I resigned myself to make the kind of music that I wanted to listen to...What I thought was great, what I thought could be ground-breaking where I was living-- which was an area where indy music was much more popular, & pop music was considered to be annoying or corporate or unimportant-- so I decided, in true GaGa fashion, to be revolutionary, & go against the grain, & make pop music in a town where there was none." :)

  • @daftmastercheifpunk It's really a great interview, and it's on Youtube in 13 parts (eek!). You will marvel at this womans brain when you're done. She is so smart and amazing. :)

  • @daftmastercheifpunk she used to write this kind of music all the time, just look at some of her older stuff, but she completely changed her style to dance pop because thats what 60% of people want, also, radios play that kind of music, not this... sad :( because i really love this side of her :)

  • This brought tears to my eyes being a young bisexual man this really touched me. This woman is the most amazing, loving, and kindhearted person to come into this snake pit called the music industry.

  • amazing. thats it all.

  • The verses Lennon missed when he wrote Imagine, Lady Gaga added:

    Imagine all the people

    could love equally

    Imagine all the people

    Sharing all the world

    With nothing to hate

    And nothing to think

    Just people who love and

    Friends to have praise

  • shes an incredible person and an amazing performer. she loves people for who they are and thats what is most incredible about her. love you gaga

  • She is an AMAZING musician. Classically trained and all, I wish she would play better music to show her talents.

  • Even original artists that wrote their songs, and those whom cover them, will or will not do improv during live performances. In this instant, she chose a very famous song to parallel the reason for their assembly at that particular event. Hasn't Bono changed some of his lyrics to pay tribute to some or to bring up valid points? He does it quite often. It's music and art, let it go. The examples of others are numerous. I'm not arguing for anything, just wanted to point out the obvious.

  • John Lennon would most certainly be honored by this. Her rendition epitomizes all of the meaning he intended with the original.

  • @bradass100 she didnt steal! she borrowed!

  • @bradass100 She said who it's originally by, she stated that she changed the words and melodies, it's not like she said, "I'm GaGa I WROTE THIS SONG," she always gives credit where it's due. This version gives me so many more emotions than the original. There is room for all versions! I wouldn't want to hear what you have to say about A Perfect Circles rendition of the song!

  • I'm not crazy about her rendition, but she's channeling John Lennon's spirit, activism, and the energy & sentiment of the song; I think John would be pleased.

  • I ACTUALLY LOVE HER SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! You are incredible!! Your Voice is AMAZING!! I Love You So Much, Thanyou for setting me Free!! I Will Be one of your Little Monsters Forever <3 Mother Monster <3 XxXx

  • Oh my god , Matthew in the sky???:( that part was just amazing, brought me to tears instantly...

    Gaga you amazing human being:) thany you so so so so ....much.

  • Alright, everyone chill the fuck out. Sure, John Lennon did a better song, because he KNEW the song. he WAS the song. You can obviously tell she's nervous as a motherfuck. If you don't respect her version of the song, you don't respect john lennon. She's simply expressing his views through her own style. Chill. The. Fuck. Out.

  • Why did she change the lyrics????? "Imagine" is a legendary song, not her own song. And her version sucks, it's a peaceful song, she didn't sing it softly enough.

  • @EtoileLituanienne when people do cover songs they sometimes alter lyrics. She changed it for that performance. Also its a cover song she's wasnt going to do it exactly the same. But give her some credit she did pretty good. I love the beatles and i think this would have made john proud.

  • @AwesomeNessie I don't love The Beatles so I can be more objective than you :P No, she was horrible, I don't like her version at all. And I wish she hadn't changed the lyrics.

  • @EtoileLituanienne lol you have a point you can be more objective.

  • @EtoileLituanienne She changed the lyrics in order to fit the context of equal rights. When John Lennon wrote "Imagine," he was writing it during the Vietnam war. He wrote it at a time when we were fighting each other. I'm sure that if equality for people who are homosexual was something talked about when he wrote this song, there's a good chance he would've wrote it for them. In regards to her singing, you can't expect her to sing exactly like John Lennon. Lennon was Lennon, Gaga is Gaga.

  • @spieljawsfan You are so right : ) I wish people can understand that Im a huge Lennon Fan But Also gaga n,n

  • @luisangelmurr16 I'm not much of a Gaga fan, but I know talent when I hear it, and she has it.

  • @spieljawsfan Agree with you : )

  • @EtoileLituanienne She was simply showcasing her talents with her big voice, she didn't exactly start rapping about drugs and fucking here there and everywhere.

    I'm not trying to cause an argument, I'm just stating views.

  • Why does she have to mention the president and change?

    what change? zero...!

    Her singing of this song sounds flat to me more talking than singing she revs it up right at the end but not enough for me I will say she is good with her own sound, for me this sound doesn't work with her voice... This song that is of timeless beauty by a beautiful man.

  • she brings tears to these jaded eyes. imagine that. i love you, gaga, with all my heart.

  • Lady gaga performs Just as elton john would plays a piano and sings beautiful melodies...that is what a performer does and we should all be happy that she exists in a time where 99 percent of the supposed "performers" can't even do that...she has to "sell out" to an extent...duh she's in the commercial mainstream music world...she's not an underground artist ...why cuz she was that for years so she sould make it big...why? To earn a living doing something she enjoys which is what a career is.

  • she brought me to tears.. religion is poison to the human spirit..

  • I'm not a Gaga fan but she did a damn good job so I show her props because of so.

  • @beatleholic13  It's depressing to see people bash her in comments. I agree that people can get beyond her public image and listen to the music. I did. Thank you for listening to her voice and getting her messgae, you don't have to be a fan to give her credit. Obviously, you heard about the piano situation?

  • @marawantsluke yes, that's why I listened to this. I mean, sure she was inappropriate but is it necessary to talk bad about her? We're all sinners.

  • She looks like a cartoon character from the 70's I know she has the money to do what she wants,but she is dippy broad!!

  • no one likes john lennon???? ummmm....he is EXTREMELY loved and is legendary....like the rest of the beatles...sorry, that was just a wtf mate comment...not being rude...just saying.. O_o

  • Sorry for sounding stupid, or simply out of the loop, but who is the Matthew she is referring to?

  • @talksalot1825 she mentions Matthew Shepard, a victim of an anti-LGBT hate crime.

  • @nikosslvr  Rest in peace, Matthew.

  • @talksalot1825 i was wondering that too.......

  • @Crimsonphilosophy For that to be true, wouldn't the record execs have to have made the assumption that her gay fans are also fans of the Beatles? And what (besides Gaga herself) is the "product" she's pushing? And she writes her own music, so what's this stuff about the record company telling her what to write? Where are you getting your facts from? Are they facts at all? Enlighten me, please. I would so love to "wake up".

  • @Crimsonphilosophy I couldn't agree more!

  • I live in japan, so I didn't knwo about Matthew, still I don't understand what's happend well.

    I like Lady gaga, that's why now I could have a chance to serch about Matthew Shepard. I wish more people know this and try to start thinking.

    Thank you for uploading this video. You gave me a chance to think about those things.

  • very nice! i don't use to listen to her songs, but my girlfriend goes crazy for her ^^

    but this cover is a really nice work! :-)

  • Too amazing!

  • his is 1 woman who is a gift to earth by god! she'll bring equality!!!
