Imagine if Julian had sung it.

I agree, he, with the Beatles changed the world in a positive way. He continues to influence my life and many others!!

I was devastated when John died. We got robbed of so much music and insight.

Right there w/ya bro'. Though born and (still am so far) a yank I first saw the Beatles first TV appearance (Ed Sullivan) at 12 at a all male private British military school (in Canada). Whole village there was Brit and with the (very) English headmaster were the masters (teachers) who were all Brit, too. Scottish, English, Ausie, and even New Zealand sent them. So I got a more British take on the Beatles (Village and staff wise) which was mixed but not much different than down here across the border except for that (touch) of English pride. Didn't much matter to us inmates (who all felt like orphans) since in about a month or two all of us (tried desperately) to have Beatle haircuts and getting some punitive reaction for having done so. My punishment (being so young) was to carry a chord of firewood across the campus grounds to the school wood furnace (basement) one arm load at a time. The pain wasn't sweet (but made me a better rugby player). Guessing 'sure as shit' brought me closer to the Beatles and felt like John was saying to me to tell them to take that wood and SHOVE IT ! John L. seemed to be the leader and could talk to me (even then) and same deal, though I am not a 'fan' kind of guy, when ever John had something to say (words of wisdom or w/song lyric) I instinctively listened. Talk about a moment when you remember exactly where you were; was John's murder (which did feel like an assassination). I had just recently moved to my new country home. Was eating dinner on a TV tray (while watching TV) and 'it' came on,... a special bulletin,.... and with out even realizing it the TV tray and dinner (somehow) flew all the way across the living room and splattered against the wall. The only time I felt that kind of passion, despair (and rage) for someone I never actually met (personally). It felt like the beginning of the end as was a couple of years of weirdness followed. (As for instance) I am driving home and coming down a hill and witness what looked like an atomic detonation off in the distant south Cascade Mt. range and before realizing (one of my favorite haunts) Mt. St. Helens had just sent it's top to the moon and my favorite lake (Spirit) had just swallowed the rest along w/an old buddy (Harry Truman and his lodge). Such like events as the Beatles, Kennedy, Monroe back then, all at once. Makes you wonder about (those) stars popping out of alignment from time to time (and holding on to your hat)! Maybe we're there again or soon enough (?). With John Lennon; is it amazing (or expected) that after the reach of time soooo many of us still mourn (and) celebrate the one who only once sang he was 'just a jealous guy'. 'Just another bloke like you'....... (Maybe not).

I hear you brother he was one of my stepfather's.. the Beatles were something profound. The kind if thing that only happens once in a hundred years and they will leave their legacy for a thousand years. John was a messenger from God Almighty. He fought the good fight. John knew the value of truth and love. May his eternal soul continue to shine on.. and on and on and on.. RIP John. I listened. I heard the truth. God have mercy on you brother..🙏❤

I was in college at the time and I had to get the news from Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football. I didnt react at all. the next day i bought a gallon of wine and drank myself into a stupor. If I ever see Chapman on the street he'll wish his parents never met.

for me,,,its was so sad when he was murdered,,,,but i wouldnt change my life in the 60 and 70 for anything,,,there will never be anything like it again,,,we grew up with the greatest music the world has ever heard

@@jpayne7759 A beautiful and moving comment.

A new generation of shit musicians. Craig David ffs lol.

nos habrá pasado a muchos !!pues yo también acabo de encontrarlo y es una maravilla uno mejor que otro ...todo espléndido !!gracias por mostrarnos !!

Gifted, yes, but not the most gifted!

Who was the most gifted? Lennon or McCartney? The one thing that we can be unanimous about is that their partnership changed the world for the better. The Lennon/McCartney partnership was certainly the most influential influence on Western society post World War 2.

And in 3023 the Beatles' music will still be played on the interplanetary shuttles. By 4023, the Beatles' music would be part of the microchip implant for new-born primate babies (and probably other similar Genuses discovered on other planets that can carry longitudinal waves too).

@@cdenhub Okay Millennial.

paul is better so far !

And she picked one of the better Beatles tunes.

Mário Barreto so agree she nailed it. Kevin Spacey was a pleasant surprise as was Sean Lennon

@@dannykane3068 Sean's vocal range on This Boy, was off the charts. His old man would be proud.

Alanis, Kevin Spacey and Marc Anthony covers are my favourites.

The cover should be on Apple Music/Spotify

I'm so glad!

Recommended: his movie Beyond The Sea, he sings a lot of Bobby Darin songs. He also directed the film.

Pls check your ears, man, he was out of tune alltime...

@@33soren you're clearly tone deaf mate.

Across the Universe was probably the Beatles greatest song. It sounded like it came from another universe. So totally original. Awesome song

John and Paul were very different but brilliant in their own way. Paul was the melody guy and lyrics were simple and story telling whereas John was more the lyricist with his clever words and political phrases. He was more interested in what he wanted to say and if he could make a difference in the world. It's a very effective political platform is music. Merry Christmas (war is over... if you want it) was about stopping the Vietnam war....and it certainly helped.

Sean and Julian together for their grandmother... Julia.

Julian should've been there

A nice thought about Juiian. however, as soon as I saw that Julian was not in the lineup (rather conspicuous by his absence) while Sean was featured in songs and photos, I immediately thought that the negative relationship with Yoko had something to do with it, unfortunately IMO. If you read through all the credits, you`ll see that Yoko produced it. i had noticed her face in many clips, in this show, as well as in several others, while Julian is nowhere to be seen. That, together with the fact that reportedly he was sh ut

Jillian Lennon should have sang those songs that Shaun sang p.s. good people do good things yoko

creo que seguiré escuchando musica de los Beatles hasta después de esta vida..insuperable maravillosa !!Jhon pol York Ringp

Very sad that such a great talent was lost

Absolutamente cierto

J Payne, “War is over if you want it. Make love not war. Love is all you need, all you need is Love”. From Russia with love (to John L.)

That's what Jesus says also.

Beautiful comment, thank you!

The guy on the bass played Paul's lines. Great!!

I thought so too

How to learn all performrrs' names & songs they sang?

@@kathleenwright4826 tap the heading under the screen or little arrow pointing downward and the name of performers and songs will appear as well as other info too. I don't know if your asking that or not or just making a comment. 😃

Yep

The lyric is “nothing to kill or die for”. Why did she change it? And the last line, “And the world will live as one”… not “be as one”. It’s a tribute. Stay faithful to Lennon’s lyrics. Thumbs down for that.

@@Timhisattva I know she probably got a little crossed up on those two lines. I never caught it, but otherwise it wasn't too bad, I'd give her a b, b+ still for her efforts.

I was floored too. Amazing Performance

Who knew he could actually sing, and very well?!

Chill.....We just wanna have fun

Didn't know Kevin Spacey sang. What a performance.!!

It was Lennon/McCartney. Would either have been so big or would the Beatles have even been born. Credit goes to all for members including Sir George Martin.

Almost!

It wasn't. And her quaky narcissistic wail was a bore...

Check out Doug Parkinson's version...

she's always had a great band behind her

Kevin Spacey was impressive as host and singing mind games.

Totally agree. Will last forever. Not like the music from today especially that Rap shit

Mario, he certainly was .. no one comes close to John Lennon .. they never will ...

Without McCartney there's no Beatles. Without Lennon there's no Beatles It was Lennon and McCartney.

She's got a knack for nailing whatever she tries.

Yes

Yes loved that bit

I thought so until I heard Shelby's cover of Mother.

If she released this cover of Dear Prudence, it would be a hit today. It was made for her.

sorry to burst your bubble but Elvis wasn't a songwriter. look it up. if you were a songwriter and you wanted elvis to sing your song and was any good, you'd have to put his name as songwriter (of your song) and gets credits, royalties etc.

He never had enough time to really grow and develop. Was definitely a power house of writing ✍️.

@Wayne Pitty George and his wife were brutally attacked as well and almost killed as well in 1999.

@Johnny RoadTrain what are you some saint? no ones perfect...

@@meanmistermustard2485 So true. It was the unknown writers who didn't sing who got shafted. But singer/songwriters like Buddy Holly were given credit when Elvis covered their song

He was ahead of his time.

No truer words spoken...

That was my favorite performance!❤

... and listen to that bass!

I'mma glad somebody thinks so... she was just copying another more original and more interesting singer/artist named Siouxsie Sioux from the 80s band Siouxsie and the Banshees.

@@johnhenni2808 Nope, she didn't copy anyone.

Yes, I have watched it before but came back to listen to Alanis' contribution again - very well done. It would be interesting to hear her do some of John's other songs, like Across The Universe.

RIP Beautiful Soul John Lennon ❤❤❤❤❤❤💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

couldn't agree more! You are a persy with taste, heart and soul mm xx

I love you Cyndi lauper fantastic rendition

Listen to Cyndi Lauper's cover of Joni Mitchell's Carey from a tribute concert to Joni Mitchell. Cyndi nails it.

She was fantastic! And great choice of setting, in Central Park, by the Imagine mosaic. Beautiful.

I am sure he is smiling from heaven.

Yes.

Shelby Lynne 😍hits out of the park. Best version IMO.

Such a emotional yet beautiful song, such deep lyrics too.

It's a great tribute. All Lennon's songs are wonderful, I really enjoy each performance. Thanks so much. John will live in my heart forever.

Thank you too!
