Cee Lo Green ruining the song "Imagine" (John Lennon) live on new years eve in New York.
Also notice him saying "and all religion is true" instead of the original "And no religion too".

Original songtext from John Lennon:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

I do not own any rights on the shown CNN program, the music or the lyrics.

  • Even if didn't change the lyrics, it still would have been a horrible interpretation of that song.

  • Suppose a non-religious singer was hired to sing "God Bless America" at a World Series game but changed the worrds to "God hates America" or "Godless America" instead. Religious people would be outraged, and they'd be right. What Green did is just as bad. He should have had the guts to say that he didn't agree with the words to "Imagine" and so he wouldn't sing the song. But he didn't.

  • Not as bad as Justin bieber ruining Let it Be

  • I think he did good! What are you guys saying he ruined it, it is just a different style of singing!

  • Wrong words aside, he fucking ruined this song. Terrible.

  • @Alexdurrant and @dlrice don't make me call Jerry Springer

  • @Alexdurrant7 maybe now you can get a clue.

    NAWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • @dlrice How kind of you to arrange your adjectives in alphabetical order for me. Cute.

  • @Alexdurrant7 What an absurd, foolish, balmy, brainless, bubbleheaded, cockeyed, crackpot, crazy, cuckoo, daffy, daft, dippy, dotty, fatuous, featherheaded, fool, half-baked, harebrained, half-witted, inept, insane, jerky, kooky, looney, lunkheaded, mad, nonsensical, nutty, preposterous, sappy, screwball, senseless, silly, simpleminded, stupid, unwise, wacky, weak-minded, witless comment.

  • @dlrice Asinine? You clearly don't know the meaning of the word, or else you would have chosen one that was actually relevant.

  • @iGiveHope Not true. There are plenty of singers I can name from that era and before who didn't use autotune, yet still sound amazing. The fact is that they were mediocre singers even by the standards of their time.
