  • Gay..

  • howcan he do this on guitar,

  • If you can't imagine all those things, you'll never get to another (possibly better) view.

  • jack is a genius xoxoxoxoxooxox

  • I prefer jack johnson's version than that of lennon, 'cause i really love the guitar arrangement

  • the best imagine cover ever!!! we love you Jack <3 !!!

  • This is so amazing. Jack Johnson did a beautiful cover of this song, the best.

  • speechless :)

  • I wasn't able to feel the true essence of Imagine until I heard it from Jack Johnson..

  • This is my favorite song of all time! (John Lennons version of course) but I love that people still cover this song and that its just as meaningful today to a new group of young people....I hope this song lasts forever and that someday we can actually have peace. Beautiful cover by Jack Johnson though.

  • Lennon and Jack Johnson.. both inspiring creative artists. Have to love them<3

  • Ole Jack Jhonson!

  • did any of you guys see Jack Johnson's new hairstyle?

    It's sorta weird, but he's still awesome. :D

  • This man can really do no wrong. He's so naturally gifted that this doesn't come off as an imitation or a butchering, but a quality cover. :)

  • This makes him 10 times better. This song is amazing, and once again he NAILS it. BRAVO!

  • WOW!

  • this dude sings imagine way better then bowie does and ounds almost if not better then john lennon

  • i hate rascisme and discrimination. it makes me just wanna end my life :,(

    Why are so manny humans evil...

  • jack, marry me

  • so so so so... great and much better as the also great original

  • nice cover

  • JACK JOHNSON FTW

  • I'm in utter disbelief that people are arguing and insulting eachother commenting about THIS song. Of all songs, THIS song! It represents the complete opposite of what you people are doing over the internet. It's sad, pathetic and most of all, pretty damn ironic.

  • i hate it when people do that, its like "DUDE! DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE SONG?" ^.^ not fightin, i always feel so hipeyish after listenin to it its like "HUG ME!" <3

  • Wow, what a great cover! Saying I love the original version would be an understatement, but I gotta give it Jack Johnson (my future husband lol), this is so different and awesome!

  • Brilliant cover

  • Imagine is a beautiful song, it reminds me of the movie zeitgeist.

  • Great movie!!

  • this is beautiful.

    Chanell Heeter [:

  • This is a fantastic cover of an amazing song.

    I heard this last night set to a latin beat, it was just brilliant.

  • I think its good. If you cover a song you may as well do it a little differently otherwise there isnt too much point. If one prefers the Lennon version then go listen to that. . simple!

  • why are you comparing these songs

    the 2 of them are good

    enjoy both sides...

    fuck, don't fight !!!

  • this one is simpler with just the guitar and i really like it

  • i love it :)

  • its good but no1 can make it better than lennon

  • its for charity people!!

  • Lennon and jack johnson are amazing

  • very nice video , very well realized graphics!

  • its on limewire

  • Yes!!! Found the whole version on iTunes everybody

  • i need the long version, i've been looking for it all over!

  • I got it from limewire

  • i just laughed a little bit. Jack Johnson is good..but...Lennon is considered the most influential and talented song writer of all time..

  • haha i had the same reaction

    not bad but not lennon

    those that think otherwise need to be educated

  • well jack johnson is a talented songwriter and musician, and if Lennon had covered one of his songs Johnsons would have been better. but if you write a song, you have a connection with what you should feel when you sing it, which is why covers are usually not as good. Lennon was an awesome songwriter, with so much emotion in his songs that its near to impossible to cover them properly.

  • Hahahahahahahaha...You must be joking right?? John Lennon is the greatest musician who has ever lived...Jack Johnson is great in his own respect...But he is not even in the conversation of being better than Lennon in any aspect of music...I hope you were just trying to get a rise out of people and weren't serious.

  • I realize your comment is 1 month old, but I cannot help but tell you how ignorant you are.

  • there's no such thing as best. and there's no such thing as an objective better. except when it comes to basshunter. everythings "better" than basshunter.

  • i agree with you ... sound wise but lennon created the lyrics and hes pretty amazing too

  • needs the piano

  • The original is the best but Jack Johnson's is really really good :)

  • when did they release the album.???

  • oh this is so amazing!!

  • Bull Shit this Is Way To Short!! Too Short!!!!

  • where can if find the longer version?

  • 1.Cubra sua boca com a mão

    2. Faça um desejo

    3.Feche sua mão (punho)

    4.Ponha sua mão no coração durante 5 segundos

    5. Envie isto para mais 3 vídeos

  • He does the Beatles proud fershure.

    Love Jack (:

  • wow beatles fans are tough, but they have to admite that johnson´s voice is prettier and more meaningful, If i was Lennon i´d be proud of this version

  • lennon must be smiling to hear his song improved by johnson

  • the song was perfect before johnson. don't be mistaken.

  • This is such a great cover. It bugs me when people bitch at each other in comments of Jack Johnson vids, it's the opposite of what his music is about.

  • everyone has their own opinion

    everyone has their own taste in music

    the dipshit is the one who doesn't understand that

  • jack wins this round i think

    lennons still the man though

  • I think jacks version is more musical and more songlike while lennons is more a peaceful deal

    I dont know how to explain it :P

  • Who cares which version is better? It's the message that counts.

  • I think this is better than Lennon's... :/

  • incorrect my friend, not that good

  • nobody does the song better than Mr. John Lennon

  • WAY BETTER THAN JOHN LENNON

  • and you should listen to yourself.... if you knew anything about what the song even meant dipshit

  • lennon is way better than jack johnson in every way dipshit lol thats funny i havent heard that term since i was 8.

  • This is an awesome version of this song. and I'm a major fan of the original, so...

  • all the other artists sung this song on their own way but i think jj`s is really good and made it his own

  • wow im a beatle fan an he did good for a John Lennon song!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG.

  • oh my god, i love him!

    and i love this!

    amazing combination

    jack johnson+imagine=love!!!!

  • :D NICE

  • my heart clenched when I heard this,

    Lennon would be proud Mr Johnson,

    now to buy the album. . .

  • this clip is amazing..

  • i love this guy!

  • Nuuuuu I wanted to hear the WHOLE song!

  • iTunes fucking sucks!!!!

  • at least it goes to a good casue

  • Where can i get the whole song, i need it, it is so genious

  • Legally? iTunes has it for 99 cents.

  • i wish it was the whole song

  • I hope i dont get banned for this but I would like to say that Jack in the Lennon of the new era! This man is simply brilliant there is no other way to put it.

  • i agree :)

  • yea you should be banned

  • I love Jack Johnson but Eva Cassidy's version is heads and shoulders better.

  • i like this version much more... jack johnson perfoms it great

  • this would be such a great song if that guy didnt say anything and it was the full song

  • people are gonna hate me for saying this but, i like this version better than the original. : /

  • wow..great ;)...I love this Song..

  • i like the lennon version more but this is very good too.

  • you make me happy jack i love you!!

  • Comment removed

  • Jack Johnson

  • WOW!!!This is soooo great!!!

  • So many people cover this song and ruin it. Infact everyone who covers it ruins it. But jack johnson has got it spot on. This is definatly on par with Lennon's orginal

  • i love this song

    especially this version but also the john lennon version.

    im doing a lyrical dance to this song with 3 other people. :D

  • most amazing song ever no shit

  • omg, that is so amazing.

    artists cover songs of my ultimate music hero for a good cause.

    <33333

  • People look to into the song, He only said "Imagine". Take a piece of the pie and make the world better.

    And we are all Dick head at times in real life.

  • Comment removed

  • I dont realy agree with the words of this song.

    If all people didint believe in the afterlife every single person on the world would only b looking after themeselfes.

    Crimes like rape and drug dealing would b rampint becuse no 1 would think of the idea of there being an after life.

    The main thing that keeps sosiety intakt is the consept of religion.

    Soz abput my spelling i h8 gwamer!

  • Where's the evidence to your suggestion? The areas where faith in the afterlife, in Religion, are highest are the scariest places in the world. Where genocide and war are part of a daily routine and women are brutally treated and rape because of how their Religion has been skewed to dominent males. The message is imagine a world without that, society doesn't need Religion to be moral. Morality has very little to do with faith and more to do with the person themselves.

  • Unfortunitly that is a problem with some religions.

    However sosiety without religion would resolt in higher crime rates.

    Allso i should say that i am against islam (not the islamic comunity but there religion)

    And allso soz about my spelling.

  • Don't worry about your spelling.

    You still haven't provided any evidence that society would resort to crime. I think it'd be benifical for you to ask the preacher/person/whoever told you, for hard evidence and statistics to back this point up.

    And that is the problem with ALL religions. Not just Islam. All religions can be taken to extremes.

  • I have not borowed or stolen this opinion.

    My opinion comes from looking at crime rates in suberbs without religions such as christianity.

    Saying this ofcorse i do not have the figures at the moment. However saying all this i'm not saying that a christian or budist does not comit crimes.

  • hmm, i don't agree, im an atheist and i don't commit crimes or am i violent :P, and so what you're saying is that people don't commit crimes because they fear that they'll go to hell..wow that's not a good way to live

  • I believe that all people have some fear of going to hell or know that there is some form of after life.

    Otherwise why would most religions (not all) mention an afterlife of some sort.

  • because we're afraid of death

  • Tobi, I'm sure John Lennon would love you for saying that. Swearing at people for remixing the song doesn't make you a loyal John Lennon fan, dear.

  • Wonderful song being performed by amazing Performers. The song and each performance are symbols of the world and that we can exist as one. The song is kinda like the Heartbeat no matter how different two people's heart may sound and to what beat they pump blood, those people are equals, the same being, different in so many small ways but the same in so many huge ways. this is a MUST SUPPORT CAUSE

  • beautiful

  • dam great

  • Some of these comments hurt its an amazing cause, jack does so much good. As a musician, i believe, if i wrote a song with so much beauty and a message, that it would inspire later popular artist such as jack to cover them whether or not he chose to i would be honored whether or not it is a good cover. So what Jack did the song differently its still beautiful. Save Darfur

  • meme pas foutu d'entendre la toune au complet sacrament

  • WOW I am surprised how many people can say so many hateful things about such a peaceful song. I mean just think about what the song means and what it is saying. Maybe JJ is just trying to get in touch with a new generation and trying to expose them to a new and caring world. Just think andImagine!

  • I want to hear the whole thing. D:

  • this video's really pretty and nice and calming.

    i love jack johnsonn :)

  • starbucks artist, go jack

  • I don't think Jack meant to be better than Lennon my any means, he just wanted to help the cause, and with that, he was probably asked to do this song.

  • Jack Johnson is god

  • Dude are you a homo or what ?

  • I only see one person that sucks, it's you ¬¬

  • hey...

    fuck you

  • are you fuckin retarted jack johnson is amazing so is lennon

  • snake. wtf is wrong with you you're the biggest idiot ive ever seen on youtube... well at least youre UP THERE (on the idiot list). this is a great cover btw...

  • One of the best covers that i've ever heard

  • to whom may wish a lesson for this song(Jack Johnson Version)Im happy to post 1 up for you guys, Just waiting for my new Cole Clark Guitar to arrive, shouldn't be too long now, about 2 weeks, so Subscribe if you wish to see this posted along with other jack lessons, including ALL AT ONCE.. or you can contact me thru message, if you after a lesson!!! cheers zac (JackJohnsonGuitarist)

  • I love this cover by the way. Simply Amazing.

  • fuck you.

  • fuck u

  • stfu its none of ur buisness. scamper off

  • I love this!!!!!!!!!

  • John Lennnon is a genius, good "cover" of the amazing song of John Lennon.

    Peace to everybody!!!

  • this is a really nice version of it..of course john lennon will always be the orginal and the best..but doesn't stop this from being pretty amazing as well :)

  • i love jack johnson but lennon is wayy better.

  • whats up with all the noobs saying lennons is better ? whats better ? your going to tell me that he has a betetr voice than jack johnson? no, its not better the only thing better is that lennon is the writer.

  • Please point out the statement where JJ is somewhat throwing down a pissing contest for best song version. Read the description fuckturd.

  • If it was charity and millions of dollars went to help in Darfur.... I don't think I'd care. The person could have done a crap version to my song and I still would be happy that it did some people good. I think Lennon would be happy to know his music is still leaving a legacy today.

  • sactly... but i think Jack did an excellent job on this song (and im a HUGE Beatles fan), and i think John would think the same... although, i cant know for sure...

  • LOlololOLOL jack johnson is VERY GOOD but john lennon is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

  • you are on fucking crack if you think this is better then john lennons. John Lennon is one of the best artist ever.

  • i still like john lennon's version

  • wow, Jack Johnson beats John Lennon by a mile. haha
