  • MsJen58: Not only would John Lennon approve - he'd have wept - on his knees - at her feet. Just like most of us.

  • 2:57 to 3:00, don't try that at home. Her singing talent was quite extraordinary.

  • A sweet voice, perfectly matched to the sadly romantic theme of the words. Long live John Lennon.

  • This song is about all the excuses people make to hate each other. Its about setting aside excuses and differences to treat each other with love and respect.

  • she was an awesome singer..... and you did her version of imagine proud! good job!

  • MAGIC

  • Her voice gives me goosebumps...so sweet!

  • Eva's singing is just perfection and so full of emotion.It never fails to bring tears to my eyes to just hear her beautiful voice.No one will ever sing Imagine better than this sadly missed lady.

  • oh my gosh...she was and is beautiful.

  • Voz celestial! me emociona hasta las lágrimas; lástima que nos haya dejado...

  • I Imagine...people commenting on the artistry instead of using this venue for political commentary. Imagine...

  • Lennon had a doctrine of no mind

    He was the humanist of humanists

  • She was just Wonderfull !

  • everything is easy when you imagining.. Do you really believe that when theres no religion, country, race etc etc people will live in peace? Come on. the only thing we need to get rid off is our own ego, our own hatred among others. We need to respect others, help them and live together. Im sorry. The only thing that killed us is our own ego. That;s the truth.

  • No religion too!

  • @paobologna do you not believe in God?

  • she had such a soul full voice :)

  • la mejor version de la cancion mejor que la original

  • imagine es una cancion preciosa,pero si es cantada por eva cassidy,es musica celestial.

    adoro a eva y a lennon.

  • Eva's voice will live on forever .

  • Whoever disliked this either had a seizure, got attacked by a ninja, sneezed, was possessed by a demon,had a shoe thrown at their head, or other equally devastating or more hurtful object before pressing the like button and clicked dislike by mistake, or is just tone death, retarted, unliked by humanity, a half-wit idiot with no sense of what is true talent, or all of the above.

  • @bakahitsuji stop being a top comment whore and just enjoy the song.

  • @NextGenRev U JELLY? *insert troll face here*

  • @bakahitsuji am i jealous? about what?

  • i always wonder what she would have become if she was still alive 

  • @20Danibee I figure she would have become like Loreena McKennitt, who is amazing

  • I hope you are singing this along side John - where ever you are Eva

  • I prefer this version

  • Oooohhh.... *seelisch leide*...wie schööööön...*schluchz*

  • John Lennon would approve.

  • @MsJen58 They're singing it together! Heavenly music for all the angels!

  • beautifully put Mr Z

    

  • beautifully put Mr Z

  • Sensual Eargasm

  • Rest easy, Lady Angel. Taken from us far too early :'(

  • RIP my angel

  • already in <3 with this song..

  • I recently discovered this beautiful woman's voice and to say the least, I'm in awe. The raw emotions her voice contains just hits you right there at the core. The soul or what ever you wanna call it. We all know that theres a place within us that just wants to transcend above and beyond all the evil and bad in this world and this kind of music and this kind of emotion displayed in this song, does exactly that for you.

  • Comment removed

  • WWJD! What would John do? and Eva, she does a fine job, If this doesn't say it, then let the asteroid hit my house first!

  • Why can't people just enjoy the song without puttin in their 2 cents worth. It's a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful person Just listen and enjoy, there are other forums for preaching

  • I'm proud to be the 1000th Like !! Beautiful !!!

  • 25 people who dislike is no taste at all!!!

    RIP EVA

    You're the best forever.

  • 25 people who dislike is no taste at all!!!

    RIP EVA

    You're the best forever.

  • Eva is super singer !!

  • Imagine a duet John Lennon and Eva Cassidy singing this in heaven Absolute beautiful. Two extra ordinary humans with extra ordinary gifts taken from us way to soon. They will be missed but never forgotten. thankyou for this post

  • john lennons version find ich besser ! :)

  • Imagine a world of acceptance and peace, one of the main things that would be missing would be religion. I believe in God, but I can understand how it can separate us all into groups and factions. This song is beautiful, no matter who's singing it, it just sounds that much better when Eva is singing it. :)

  • You will remain forever in our hearts Princess

  • Why in the world did she sing this song if she was a christian??? well, i love her anyway.... I dont like this song though =(

  • @siracvsanv This song is about peace, love, brotherhood of man, anti-materialism and love. All that religions claim to promote.  But in actually religions are often very devisive, and are used to promote hate, violence and elitism. That is what the song is intending to convey, it is not against the good values of religion, just the hate it can excite.

  • @songsfor2

    Religion is man made so with that comes the trappings of man, namely ego. That is what more fights are about than anything. God says to love him above all else that is foremost, secondly to love your neighbour as you love yourself. I am a Christian and that is so much more than religious. I don't let the rest of the static interfer with my love of God.

  • I love Eva Cassidy!! It's a pitty she's no longer with us! RIP Eva! take care of Michael in heaven! <3

  • Beautiful! I love this song. Please everyone watch my cover of one of her songs :) thankyou hope you enjoy xx

  • She's probably playing the guitar on this too. A wonderful guitar player. An incredible singer. God I miss her.

  • A wonderful song, and I love Eva, but unfortunately this is a great example of how to ruin a perfect song. It sounds like Val Doonican singing AC/DC

  • Great cover! I love her voice, please check out my first youtube video, Thankyou hope you enjoy x

  • Much love for Eva Cassidy and John Lennon...

  • เป็นเพลงที่ดี และไพเราะ^^

  • Hello everyone, music is for the soul, God gave us both and Eva

  • God has her now.

  • @aharz1 It's like you're scared to even think about it! If you have ever had anyone touched by cancer in your life, you owe it to them (and yourself) to learn what thousands of people already know. You know, both you and that other ignorant fuck are from the United Kingdom. I love all humans of earth. You 2 are representing your culture and intelligence on the global arena. Don't sound like a bunch of dark age idiots. You want to know cancer cures, search: naturalcures ? if not fuck off.

  • @PriestofUR tell you what mate...when someone you know and love gets cancer and trys everything to fight it but still ends up loosing that battle come back and tell me how effective your 50c worth of minerals are. Untill then your an absolute cock sucker and totally retarded if you think your comment wouldnt offend those that have lost there loved ones to cancer. Your talking about us brits but omg you have TOTALLY lived up to the stereotypical DUMB OBNOXIOUS AMERICAN.

  • @jimsjoy0 Totally agree mate 50c cures, he's a fuckin arsewipe, and i for one was very offended.

  • @jimsjoy0 I hear you bro. I'm sorry if what I shared triggerred you. It was not my intention to offend you. I have had cancer touch my life; and you know what? I didn't get mad at the source for REAL cures for cancer as well as depression and most all illnesses known to man. Instead I felt burnt that I had not come across this information sooner. THAT weighs hard on the heart. If anything I was pissed that the pharmeceutical industry knows about these cures yet have swept it under the carpet.

  • @jimsjoy0 Totally agree wtih you and your comments about uneducated Yanks!

  • @jimsjoy It is obvious that by your posts you have shared, there is some pain in your heart mind and life. Try NOT going around cyber space spreading your viral bullshit. I would say fuck you but you blatantly already have enough problems.

    All the best

  • @PriestofUR . Your a arsehole. How can you even consider you have a sane mind, when if you had any sense you would not have made the post that basically says " its your own fault if you die of cancer, cause me and Robert Barefoot know a cure that costs 50c). Your a Prick.

  • @jimsjoy lol! Obviously this is your issue not mine. lol

    If you seriously want to know the cure for cancer investigate Robert Barefoot and his over 30 years of surpressed scientific studies. Tried, tested and true. Thousands of people who have tried this 50 cent a day rememdy (as well as nutritional health) have COMPLETELY cured themselves of cancer. Whether or no YOU want to believe it, it is true and righht at YOUR fingertips.

  • @PriestofUR , Biggest load of shit ive ever heard, So your telling me that even though people are dying all over the world to cancer. You and Robert Barefoot know a cure that costs 50c a day. Do you realise how absurd that is.

  • I love that her spirit lives in all off us.

  • I used to believe that there were songs by original bands that people could/should not cover. Imagine was one of those songs, timeless, simple, beautifully crafted and child like? imagine no countries, religion etc, simple but true! I honestly believe this lady had a voice that would turn heads! this song just shows me that you can cover a song like this but!!!!! you have to be a very gifted artist to not only put your own stamp on it but, make it believeable!!! she did it with bells on!!!!

  • You know, I have just been introduced to Eva tonight. What a beautiful voice and great version of Imagine.

    The fact here is that there is a way to beat cancer. It's with 3 natural minerals and vitamin that cost a few cents a day. Nobody has to die from cancer. If you do your research you'll find it.

  • @PriestofUR . Are you seriously suggesting that YOU have found a cure for cancer?? Please enlighten me shithead. That is the most absurd sentence i have ever read in my life. Why dont you share your knowledge with the world. You fuckin retard.

  • @PriestofUR Go spread your nasty cruel lies elsewhere you parasite.

  • @GriefTourist , WTF are you smoking mate, i suppose lennon is still alive,l Biggie an tupac aswell? Lets not get started on Elvis and maybe it was the best tactic for Jacko to rid himself of the nonce label too??? Go and tell Eva's parents she's sitting in a studio you moronic prick. In fact hang yourself.

  • Ethalinia:  Lovely comment.

  • 'Imagine there's no heaven'...

    If there is no heaven, where did her voice came from then?

  • not good as john lennon, but really good!

  • No I can't imagine there's no Heaven. It's all I have to make it through this life. What would there be without hope...?

  • @Pamelina11 Life is to be enjoyed. "Imagine all the people living for today." You shouldn't only live your life in hope for death. Make this world heaven.

  • @rentamobtv That was beautifully said.

  • if just everyone could respect eachother for who they really are....

  • Wow; *(yes - Imagine - and then do), *(join us and the World will live as one), *(Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland Lit on December 8, 2010{30th}, ~ God, Life, All, Reality, Consciousness, what ever, let us try to be as if this moment of Life on Earth is the only Reality We have and live it with the utmost love, reverence, and questing to be God, oops, I mean good.

  • :D

  • Well, if I ever heard a song that celebrated the idea that there is no God, it's this song. It's actually quite easy to find happiness with out a god. I do it every day, thank you very much. Just a load of superstitious nonsense. And Eva Cassidy's version of this song is just wonderful.

  • Who wants to imagine there's no heaven?

    Especially while listening to Eva's golden voice.

    It's impossible!

  • @badman2252 , In your mind it sound as secular but in the core of the song or interior message is "living in life in peace," a happiness with God. And Peace is a person that is God. And the song composer was not drunk when he compose this song. It was a desire in his heart that was aching for God, which made him to put down what he feel about his life. The composer is trying to explain his hunger or longing for something to fulfill his unlimited desire for God.

  • It's very beautiful. I love and miss her very much

  • if u dont like the talent in front of u , why freaking post on this page trolls be gone. take ur crap some where else plz !! leave this channel to the dreamers. mybe we can be as 1 when we get to share the world x maybe ull all join me :)

  • @willmymon Ill Join you! Her music lives on in all of us, and will never perish.

  • @tangu12 with a voice like that and the song's she has sang know way her voice will ever be lost again rip eva <3

  • So he absolutley asks you to renounce Christ in his openin line?

  • awakens old memories ... : ')

  • Personally I came here to listen to the song and not get hung up on the message within the song. However you interpret the lyrics written by Lennon this is a great song sung by a female vocalist the likes of which will never be seen again so just enjoy :)

    @philbill43 young sarah has a lovely voice thanks for the suggestion brought a tear to my eye

  • @susan78able - " so hard " comment

  • Awesome rendition...love her voice and sad too to hear shes passed, just as the original author. Nice to see you here Bill!

  • I love this song, but what's so funny is it is about atheism and communisim, but most peple just stupidly sway and sing this not realizing it is a complete athemn against the free world.

  • @tresjbenet Capitalism is not the free world, organised religion is not the free world. They have both always been used as oppressive systems in one way or another. He's clearly singing about freedom from these things. Don't mistake that for a specific concept of communism or atheism. I think people join with the good intent of this mind expanding song.

    I just mean, maybe people hear a slightly different message to the one you're hearing and maybe there's a chance they're not wrong.

  • Well, shes not as beautiful as Katie Melua, but you can turn on her songs while doing Katie :p

  • i love her voice and i love the song but i only like her version. the original one i didn´t like so much.

  • i love her voice  and i love this song but i only like her version not the original one.

  • LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • God haters, religion haters, christ lovers, bible thumpers, christ lovers of hating religion haters and vice versa. Listen up busters and listen up good. The truth is, there is no heaven or hell, that is all just your silly brains playing around. Jesus Christ!!!!

  • @Nobachmn , you can say whatever you want, it doesn't change the whole truth about this life. Your life is like a puff of smoke that appears briefly and disappears in a blink of an eye. If you don't believe that there is hell, just wait until your arrival. You'll see it with your own two eyeballs, and the devil will say to you, "you are miinnee" , mine forever.

  • @2750valio Fear isn't a reason to believe in something. If you know the truth then get on with living it, instead of inflicting pain on others with your judgement. If you believe in god then god will do the judging, right? If you believe in god then you believe in good will toward men, right? Try living by your beliefs. Be humble enough to not constantly insult people. Pretty sure your religion goes along those lines.

  • @potentperson I think you got it wrong, and here is my answer, I am not inflicting a pain on others, but show them the pain of the fear of unknown and consequences of ignorance. Secondly, if you insult the people who are doing the good work to save soul, that is a sin. But if you insult some one doing something that is killing himself, by believing some thing that is not true, is not a sin.

  • @2750valio Right, except that trying to scare people by telling them the devil will say "you are miiine forever" when they die, isn't going to work. If someone doesn't believe in the devil, then they will just think you are inventing a story about their future, which you cannot know, using fictional characters. If you're really interested in helping people see the light, I suspect you'll have to be more convincing than that.

  • @potentperson , Okay, Devi is evil not by condition, but by choice. He chose not to serve his own creator. And God creates out of nothing who is the perfect one. In his creation it is very complex and beautiful. And When Satan refuse to serve God, by his own will he became the most ugliest of all the creatures of God. His true color is Gray, a mixture of black and white color. God can't save you without your cooperation. Without God you can't, but without you, God won't.

  • @potentperson, The word of God, is like a two edge sword, and it has positive and negative. It can cut both ways -- up and down or sideways. Jesus also condemned the Pharisees and Scribes for their hardness of heart. Sometimes it is very hard to explain something to a hard headed person, like atheist. But is better to him hard, that he may be able to feel the pain of the truth.

  • @2750valio What knowledge do you have access to that is not available to those who disagree with you about hell?

  • @XforeverlongingX ,It is a divine knowledge that has been revealed to us by God who made you. God the Son of God, whom you don’t see has revealed himself with humiliation by his love, took a human form like us to redeem our sins by shedding his blood, that we may have life in him by falling in love with him. This divine knowledge is a gift of God, which is the grace of God through his love. So by the gift of the grace of God, we can comprehend what the human mind can't comprehends.

  • @Nobachmn , You cannot escape from God, if you think it's a folly, do you suppose you can escape from death? I don't think so, you can't do that. And He said, " I am the alpha and the omega", which means He is beginning of your life and the ending of your life.

  • @2750valio Hey kid. Go preach in your basement or your blindly driven church. Don't ruin the only place free from your religious fiction bull crap.

  • @floopsie666 Well said. I am sick of people coming on here to preach their superstitious rubbish.

  • @floopsie666, you can't be free without God. You can't be free with hunger and thirst, misery and all the problems in this life. But only in God, you will find true freedom and true happiness. Don't forget the first approach or response to the truth is anger, and we all know it. Because of our pride that make us so stupid animals.

  • I hope you guys realize that john despised Christianity? Please, keep your religious beliefs to yourself on here. Religion is half the reason why the world is the way it is today. A hell hole.

  • @AdyinH0bo If you truly believe that, than you are an idiot.

  • Melanoma Kills!!

    Eva Now Sings in GOD's Choir!!!!!!

  • fillol. Music isn't about religion in most cases. To me it's about believing in the heart and soul and allowing it to lift you or make you look at your life, for a;; others it is personal to them! What you do from there is up to u?

  • Blowing off the religons dicussion, I hope there is an afterlife because I would love to hear her and Lennon sign this in a Duet. Two incredible people taken from our world way too early.

  • @dallimar77 Yes there is, at the end you face two faces, either a merciful face of Jesus, or the Horrible face of the DEVIL.

  • @2750valio

    You are mentally sick. And i'm not joking.

  • @mrface19 Come on boy, what is it that I did struck it , that turn you upside down? And now you are going with that word "mentally sick" in your heart without knowing the best answer to your problem. If I can help you then speak it, into words, if you don't mind. I am willing to be come wounded with you and cope with your wounded heart. Don't be afraid and the truth will set you free.

  • @dallimar77 all you'll be hearing them do is weep, wail and gnash their teeth.

  • this is the best imagine cover i heard

  • This reminds me that angels still walk the earth... at least in song. Truly in a class of her own, within her music, Eva never stopped singing from her soul. She pushes the song beyond expectation - it is just undeniably beautiful.

  • i just found this wonderful woman tonite. . . .have cried to know she is no longer here.

  • I suppose she was a God-hater like John Lennon.

  • @filoIII How so? This song says nothing about hating God...It's saying, "Imagine what it would be like if there was no fighting...if people didn't hate each other just because they are of a different race, or have different beliefs...imagine what it would be like if no one was dying for want of good food, water, clothing, and shelter, or because of a more powerful person's greed..." If you can't hear THAT and think it is beautiful, then you may well be the saddest person I've ever heard of.

  • @siberluv325 lennon and harrison were God-haters. you can't deny that. if you can't tell this song is anti-God, pro-communism, you're blind.

  • @filoIII yup.. definitely pro-communism.. perhaps anti-religion, not anti-god..

  • @filoIII And you are a....bible beater? To each, their own...respect all paths to the divine....and since you do believe in God, how do you think he and his son Jesus would feel about you spreading negative energy on the page and song of someone as precious as eva cassidy? So...if God is your thing...maybe try being more "christ-like". Not just you, but everyone. That, to me, was the message John Lennon was trying to get out to the people. Go in peace filolll .

  • @roz59 "respect all paths to the divine" Jn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. --man, you peace pushers got a surprise coming to you when Jesus dropkicks you into the eternal lake of fire  Mt 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.----is that the Christ you want me to be more like? or how bout the Jesus who preached more on hell than heaven? That one?

  • @filoIII - Hey there...hope your day is a blessed one. Whoever you are, I wish you the best. You need to know that I was raised by a man of the cloth...a man that was very Christ like...and I have learned much from him...and from many others...one of those things would be that the teachings and writings of the bible have been changed over time...how can you not have done your homework on this...I suggest you do...however I respect whatever works for you...Jesus never dropkicks anyone..peace 2 u

  • @roz59 I absolutely love that quote - "Jesus never dropkicks anyone". Thanks for brightening my day! :)

  • @filoIII I think this is song is for God, the Lover of all mankind. How can a man who is God hater compose a song like this one? Let's theorize its so meaningful message at core of this song. Look at that phrase, " Living life in Peace." Living life in peace = living life in God. God is Peace. When Jesus rose from the death, he said to his disciple, "peace be with you, my peace, I give you."

  • @2750valio Lennon despised Christ and Christianity. this "peace" is a world w/out religion, referring to new age philosophies. I used to listen to the Beatles as a lost man. Are you not aware of the relationships between G. Harrison and hinduism, or the Beatles w/ Aleister Crowley?

  • @filoIII I am sorry if I did stir a little bit confusion about this song. But if you just look at my comment and while listening to this video you can fill how it connects to my comments. I also tried to listen to it while looking at your response to my comment it doesn't seem make any sense at all. But while listening to this song you don't take it literally, but just "imagine" with it.

  • @filoIII ~ What pisses me off is when idiots put words & ideas in the mouths of dead celebrities as if thats important.

    As if you know what Lennon liked & disliked. Yeah I can see how awesome your wonderful new world is without God, Christ. Just because religion sucks ass, doesnt mean there is no God u fucking imbecile. . It just means that mankind are mostly morons, many of us evil, manipulative morons. I can see you are carrying the flag with your spreading of this "wonderful truth"

  • @2750valio Please do not insult John Lennon's memory with such rubbish. "And no religion too".... THEN we can live life in peace.

  • @2750valio This is rediculous. Lennon despised oragnazied religion, specifically Christianity and dreamed of Cuban Castro like model for the world

  • @tresjbenet , It is okay I don't mind to comment what you're saying because we cannot talk to the death and we have to die in order to communicate with the death.

  • @tresjbenet The word is spelled "ridiculous". John Lennon never mentioned his ideal for the world being an authoritarian regime like Cuba under Castro. He makes it pretty clear he wasn't a fan of communism with The Beatles song, Revolution.

  • Ficou linda na voz de Eva Cassidy... belíssima canção!!!!

  • beautifull

  • IMAGINE EVA AND JOHN IN HEAVEN?

  • @PUBSHAMROCKS you got the wrong place

  • gone for 14 years... still sorely missed and greatly admired. excluding john's original version, this is by far the best version of this song!

  • THE BEST BLUES ON EARTH.

  • Best Version out there !!!!

  • Just found Eva Cassidy yesterday. Oh my God, what talent. Her voice so pure and her style so sincere. So sad that she is gone. A tragedy that she isn't around now to put out beautiful quality music, compared to what sells nowadays. If the saying the good die young is true...........

    Go listen to her live performance of Over The Rainbow. I am a music nut and guitar player and I don't believe there is a better performance of anything anywhere than that video.

  • I love eva cassidy, she was first introduced to me by my mother in law who sadly died of cancer, and I have marveled at the beautiful rich tones and clarity in her voice ever since. Had Eva not died so young of cancer herself I have no doubt she would be one of todays superstar female vocalists. @philbill43 sarah billington has a simply stuning voice for 15, thanks for the tip.

  • If music be the food of love, dream on!

  • Great cover.

  • How is it that I could live half my life and not know this magnificent voice? How is it that such an immense power could come and go and I not know? Tonight I have immersed myself in her music .. in her spirit and her soul and I am grateful. I thank all of you who have shared.

  • Eva, I loved you then and I love you still now... I know you are listening, your spirit and the love for you rmusic, art and brilliance of life lives on in your music.. Angel, yes indeed....

  • Beautiful music and video*****
