Bowie and Lennon collaborated on some tracks on American girl, I think Fame was the result of a jam session between the two. I'd say that made them friends. I'd say that earns Bowie the right to honor his late friend by singing one of his beautiful songs. So haters, f'in relax and realize you're arguing over one of the greatest songs about peace ever written.
mmm, a bit disrespectful, or is it just ignorance, to label the song "beatles" if you ask me... wich leads me to wonder why you uploaded in the first place...?
David Bowie dedicated the song to John Lennon's memory before he started singing. You called someone a twat without reason. The person who uploaded this video deserves an apology.
Sorry, are you referring to the fact that it says "Beatles" on the video, when it was not the Beatles that created this, but John Lennon alone? If that's the case, you might want to clarify it...
@35hankypanky Just beacuse he doesn't sound like john lennon, doesn't mean it is bad. I acctually think this is the best tribute as he does it so modistly, yes there is only one john lennon, but there is also only one david bowie
oh my god...i love this song, and this cover is one of my favourites, mainly because i grew up listening to great artists like david bowie, queen and guns n roses
Religion and politics prevent the world from 'living as one'-I don't see any of the political borders that we see on the map when I view the photos of Earth taken from outerspace-man created them.
Man created a 'complicated world'(checkout my channel for this video).
it was 1983! Serious Moonlight Tour! :) I can tell by his voice and i've found out from other places! I LOVE HIS VOICE! It changes just a little bit thoughout the years but has the same relaxing effect and oh so LOVELY!
This makes me cry, I wasn't around for either of there prime but I love John Lennon and David Bowie. David has such feeling and John is a legend! Love them both!
I TOTALLY agree! <3 I was only 10 when he did the Reality Tour! LOL! And Both Bowie and Lennon have an AMAZING Passion for music and are Geniouses! and Bowie is GORGIOUS! <3 <3 <3
Imagine no Religion.. Imagine no heaven/hell Image no possessions.
Imagine communism...?
