  • I'm writing a paper on this song vs. John Lennon's original. At first I was kind of annoyed she was redoing John Lennon's song, but once I did more research I'm thankful and inspired for what she, and the other artistis on the "instantkarma" cd have done. Go Avril!

  • haha.. agree lol

  • i love Avril forever full much!

  • u r stupid

  • The clip or better the ambitious content made me cry...can´t write anything else right now.

  • I love how the world has gotten so pathetic. Avril changes her style and the world is gonna end...*rolls eyes* Its not up to the world how Avril runs her life, and besides, I think the critisim(sp?) on the change is stupid. It's like saying that you want someone to be miserable instead of happy.

  • CuteSinger:

    Didn't you know, you are never allowed to change your opinion in this country. If you're a politician and you change your opinion, you become a flip-flopper. If you're just a regular person and you change your opinion, you become an idiot. If you support something that is not the typical opinion, you are an idiot.

  • its so true pple dont undertand wat u want they only c thurr troubles or flawes but nothin else well uess wat pple i used to b emo but now im werein pink wit a french nails but i still listen to mrc n red jumpsuit n soad n i play wow

  • gymnastics:

    I think some people just don't realize that changing views are natural. If we all had one set of views/opinions that we were stuck with for life, we would accomplish nothing. I'm glad you're no longer emo. People need some happiness in their lives.

  • its true if u ive da sae way everyday thin it gets bring try knew hings u mite ikeit better

  • Check out my new video!please subscribe to me and please don't post bad comments

  • YOUR MOTHER IS UGLY

    AVRIL IS HOT

  • ma va là!!!!!!!!!

  • r u talkin bout urself again???

  • avril rules and so do the beatles. go suck some eggs if you have nothing else better to do than make stupid comments!

  • [ilovesamanthapines] you suck

  • She is an airhead, what do you except.

  • noo she always looks down when she talks 'yu fake bitc'

  • well, i think this is not a song about "anti-religion" at all. It's actually a new religion called "John Lennon". Human being should never be and can never be completely free from religion, blindly attitute, or other bias against other people. Because human being normally, as most of us, are weak. But we are 100% free to imagine. This is what John Lennon tried to tell us. Be strong enough to see "above us only sky".

    This is nothing to do with "human rights" btw.

  • You need serious professional help.

  • you do know that most of the time artist read it because its harder to accidently get lost

    right?

  • coz its a song they wanted her to sing for the rights thingy

  • Agreed.

  • Esta canción esta genial ^^, y Avril la canta muy bien también!

  • She just rephrased "Everybody should be involved with human rights" when she talked, but eh, at least she tried. :p At least the song was great with her singing it. :)

  • Look up the lyrics.

    It's about communism.

    Lennon himself said that it's anti-Religion.

  • anti-religion doesn't equal communism . . .

  • In the book "Lennon in America" Lennon said himself that the song was an anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, and anti-capitalistic song but because it's sugar-coated, it's accepted.

  • Religion causes a lot of conflicts around the world. An example of this is the Israelis and Arabs.

  • Im a Christian but i love this song godbless u all! ^^_^^

  • i love that avril is taking part in something like this its really inspiering

  • so pretty

  • Rest In Peace John Lennon

    1940-1980

  • this version is beautiful.... I just love her voice.... Avril 4ever

  • save Darfur!

  • God? Or your imaginary friend? Read the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, it refutes every possible argument for organised religion and 'God'. Now quit preaching and let people get on with trying to make the world a better place without irrationality or radicalism. It'd be nice if radicals stopped blowing the world up in the name of various 'Gods' too...Just a thought.

  • Hmm, it seems to me you're just avoiding reality. I think you have the wrong messages. That book doesn't refute ANYTHING. Read it again, it's just one man's view on our existence and the mysteries of the universe. So, in the mean time, keep your idiotic thoughts to yourself. If not, have a nice time in hell.

  • I agree with you Ghidget, but do not be so offensive. God wants us to love one another, of all religions, no matter where they go, that is they're fait, not yours. But, agree with your views none the less. God bless you all..

  • Oh yes I'm sure John Lennon wanted peace on earth because of some fake prophecy in the Bible. Thank you for sharing this disturbing and most likely untrue information with us but please, we do not want to hear about how you think John Lennon is a satanist nor how you think peace is wrong and war is right. I thought senseless war was also against the religion of Christianity? I wouldn't know because I'm not a Christian and I don't spread religious nonsense on John Lennon videos on Youtube.

  • and also .. what ?

  • I love how somebody singing ONE song causes so much controversy. But the funny thing is, people will always either love it or hate it. I don't see anybody in between. If you hate it, you're obviously not getting John Lennon's "message" if you're going around on YouTube calling people bitches and saying that they ruined songs. You're just being exactly the opposite of peaceful- spiteful, hateful, and truly annoying.

    I for one think that Avril did an amazing job. Peace out, girl scout.

  • Yeah, big issue....:)

  • i think this is beautiful . I love her voice its amazing

  • guys... Avril's a talented singer, and the point isn't "is she intelligent or not" or how much she repeats herself, but the fact that she has good intentions and is supporting civil rights across the world. As long as she knows what she's doing, she deserves some respect for her actions. And she did do a great job with a song. Maybe she didn't make it as powerful as John Lennon did, but it was still beautiful and her voice suited the song quite well.

  • god damn it! "don't watch it if you don't like it"

    how can i know if i like it if i don't watch it=))) u're saying nonsense...

    She kinda lost the atmosphere of the song, but i appreciate her efforts anyway. It's just a tribute. It doesn't have to be as good as the original or so... She just gave it a shot:D Not very successful thou:P

  • is it just me or deos she keep repeating herself?

  • it's not just you... she repeats herself a lot:D Perhaps is not the most intelligent girl on earth:D

    Avril, try harder!

  • she looks horrible with that hat on take it off plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol

  • I think this song should have been left untouched by Avril Lavigne - she's too pretentious and doesn't seem to grasp the full meaning of this wonderful song.

  • For Avril, she sang well; but for the song- she can't do it justice.  She needs to stick to her poser punk and let all the 13 year olds defend her shit.

  • No one that sings this song will ever know the meaning of the song or be able to sing it like John but Avril did a good job!!

  • HEY if u dunt like what avril is ding then dont watch her vids about it ... reli...simple as that....

    shes a great woment tht wants to help the world and so on and so forth

    so all the people tht disgaree with what she is doing.....keep your thoughts and comments to yourself

    honestly..avrils a babe!

  • Avril Rocks!

    I hate people who hates Avril!

    Avril is the best!

    That's ALL!

  • shut up h8rs!!well dont watch it if u dont lik her!! btw she rox and is da best and will stay da best

  • avril lavigne is the best!!!!!! she is really kind people.She's beautiful,her songs are perfect,her movies are very good so she's fabulous!!!!!!!she's honest i think.AVRIL ROCKS!

  • shut up! if you're gonna take the mickey then dont bother commenting or do you not have anything better to do with your life? avril rocks!

  • What an idiot. Avril singing "Imagine" should be illegal. Not only did she totally butcher the song, it's also obvious that she has no clue what Lennon stood for. That was so horrible I need to take a shower!

  • my sentiments exactly !, this is not just a 'peace song' it's a peace trough socialism song !

  • Of course you were going to say she butchered the song before you even heard her sing it, right? Yeah, I thought so.

  • why did she get married in a catholic church if she knows what "imagine" really means.

  • i agree with rjkahlon.

    avril doesn't understand the message of jhon.

    and i think that only a few singers can sing it.

    avril, you suck.

  • Ha, there goes her 'I'm the oh so bad punk chick that has a lack of everything and everyone'. She wanted to be oh so damn different, but she's just the same as anyone else. Fake bitch!!!

  • "being kind to your neighbor?" Isn't that a little too biblical for a song that says "imagine no religion"?

  • Unhonest

  • Oh ich lieb sie hehe sie ist meine großes vorbild ^^

  • this was an OKAY cover at best, nothing special, kind of bland though

  • i hope everyone realizes she was asked to sing a cover for one of john lennon's songs for the CD "instant karma".

  • I always reserve a healthy dose of skepticism for such things, but trust me when I say I did try very hard to see the sincerity in all this; sadly, I don't. And that frustrates me more than the cover itself, which I actually found rather decent, however bland.

  • neolithics

    i kinda agree.

    except i really like the way she sang it but when she was talking about huuman rights it just felt like she was reading of off a script. quite upseting because i LOVE avril and John lennon. i just thought that maybe she would actually care about what she was doing. it seems to me she just did it for the attention. however i do REALLY like the way she sang it.

  • ive noticed a lot of people in this page love to diss others , why dont you just enjoy the song for what it is ... r.i.p. lennon

  • avril=peng as

  • John lennon is really really better than her!!!!

  • Don't like the uglt thing on her head :P But I do like her voice!

    avril4ever!

  • at least she's behind the message in john's song ;)

  • She doesn't understand the message of the song. She is a fake bitch.

  • So she's not John Lennon but she still made a really good cover. And I think you've confused her with Britney or Christina because Avril is actually a different type of singer. Anyways, to you hardcore Lennon people, Lennon WAS amazing, but seriously OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO SING THE FUCKING SONG. At least Avril supports the cause and shes doing something unlike you fat fuck sitting on your fatass watching youtube all day.

  • Avril is the funking same as Britney or Christina, she is just another POP shill. Funk me if she (or the powers to be) didn't think she could extend her worthless courier by an extra 5 minutes she would have never done this!

  • Right on nipples404

  • She doesn't support shit. Angelina Jolie supports the cause, Avril supports the money-making cause. Simple as. Especially since she turned blonde and aimed her music at the 10-15 year olds, when before that she was aiming at 17-20 year olds. It's so fucking obvious, and it's sad that people like you actually buy into this shit.

  • I agree with you thAchauffeur.

    I miss the old Avril that wasn't accused of plagiarism and didn't write songs that mean absolutely nothing to her. e.g: girlfriend.

  • I agree,though I kinda like her new stuff too, but I do miss the old avril.

  • Others are allowed to sing the song but they shouldn't out of respect for John Lennon and his beliefs. I mean if anyone should sing this song, it should be Bob Dylan or someone else who understands the message. And those who are saying that Avril is not a teen singer and is actually serious, heres a quote from one of her latest songs "Hey Hey, You You, I Don't Like Your Girlfriend. No Way No Way, I think you need a new one" yeah thats serious singing

  • man, shut up.. and plz stop calling her bitch.. she is a cool girl, and she has a great voice!

    u just don't have life for her..

  • Shut up! no she didn't she is way better then you could ever be. and she isn't a slut she not brittney and you are a slut bitch!

  • I love Avril..Avril is the best!!!MUCK

  • I LOVE AVRIL LAVIGNE! SHE ROCKS!

  • i love her voice its amazing

  • Well....we're from Brazil...isn't so easy to speak english.....why don't YOU try to sing in Portuguese??? so i'll see if you will not sing wrong too!!! asshole

  • She sings the song well, but wow, she sounded EXTREMELY uninformed and redundant when she was discussing the song.  I still don't get the impression that she has really "grown up".

  • avril is numer 1 i love her she is so cute beautiful and her voise...o my god her voise is incredible

  • could she care less??

  • poor.

  • Avril Lavigne is the best!! I love her too much!!

  • i think she did really good. her voice was good with it.

  • You idiots run out of things to say.

    So you're like the idiot below making fun of her eyebrows

    get a life.

  • What the fuck is this no talent cunt doing a cover of imagine for? This skank needs to learn her place.

  • She has talent, but what's with her eyebrows? Their like ginger, eurghh...

  • i can tell you hate avril lavigne,if u really hate her then dnt watch her videos

  • jaja italiana, non si dice "you is the best"

    si dice "you are the best"

    n hell yeah, she's da motherfuckin princess!!!!!!

  • I'm italian

    avril ...sei semplicemente divina

    you is the best

  • PS, love her hat

  • Shes so sincere about everything she does, People try to spread such BS about her(ie:doesnt write her own songs) but they always end up looking like douchebags because they have less credibility than she does. Avril is also a supporter of Warchild, The universal message of her music is to be strong, be yourself, don't worry about what other people think, and for women, not to take shit from guys (like me), and anyone who doesn't like

    that, can go straight to Hell.

  • i love it when she sings this.

    but i cant find the cover anywhere.

  • Its on the Instant Karma CD, The campaign to save Darfur, the same one that has Greenday's Working Class Hero

  • ppl plz view my channel.

  • Anyone who disses this video needs to talk to me come to my channel

  • Avril ROCKS, and , fro those who say that she is a selfish b*tch and stuff like that, well, whty did you even watch this video, if you hate her so much you people are so mean, if you dont have anything good to say, don't say anything at all , you jerks!

  • Yeah you rock!!!Bud id liked the lowtone voice more..and you know what for this kinds of things no artist gets paid! seriously so...If you dont like her you dont but its not that she gets paid for this

  • gooo avril i love u woooooooooo u rox and all those people who say you sux its not true u rule rox on

  • she c0vered this song really well! i loved it! and 2 u h8rs: All jelus bi*ches, nun ya have half her talent, and she says everything she means, and means everything she says...so, SUCK THAT U H8RS!

  • yea shut your fuckin hole if u dont anything nice to say,how can u say she cant sing wtf shes only had the most number 1 top 40 hits in the last decade ad 30 mill cds.yeah she cant sing, eat shit haters, AVRIL RULES SHES THE BEST DAMM THING YOUR EYES HAVE EVER SINE

  • fuck those who hates avril.!!! if u don't care then just shut up.! why do you have to leave comments like that...they are not nice...so vulgar... why don't you just try to appreciate her...be appreciative like you do to others....you don't have ETIQUETTE.!!

    P.S.

    AVRIL is the BEST.... NO ONE CAN BEAT HER>...

    SHUT UP to those HATERS.!!!

  • Wow, Avril, I can't belive that you are capable of reading off of cue cards! BIG GIRL!!! Someone should bake you a cake, you little selfish bi*ch. If you cared at all about John, you NEVER would have put out this song. We all know you trashed it. Leave the music buisness and geta job where you belong...McDonalds.

  • lol

  • lsn i know you hate avril, i understand that and im not telling you to like her or anything and i dnt want to start a fight,but can you tell me one thing? why do you watch her videos if you hate her so much?

  • so true. what is the reason to hate on her when they continue to watch her videos and place negative comments.

  • i just love her

  • no talent but she has a very pretty face

  • I hate her so much, people like her don't care, she just gets paid.

  • blah blah blah.. press whore. She could care less. It's just for good pub, dumb whore. DIE NOW! I hate you!

  • She looks so serious compared to the other interview but she is right at all.

  • she is so right woooo hoooo avril!

  • i think she as well as john lennon are inspirational!

  • I think John Lennon has a little more musical credibility than Avril Lavigne.

    Just a little.

  • Comparing John Lennon and Avril Lavigne's musical careers is like comparing Leonardo Da Vinci to Tommy in seat 5 of Mrs. Smith's fingerpainting class.

  • erm i don't think it's just a little, John Lennon had much more than Avril!

  • no, REALLY? John lennon had more success, or at least as much as Paul mccartney, even if he was singing those songs that critisized governments and talking about current issues (that havent changed much over the past few decades) while paul was still singing other songs about love and those kind of things that songs were usually about... Of course John Lennon has more credibility than Avril Lavigne, you can't compare the two

  • well, she looks like a doll :/

    but what she said is great :)
