the most brilliant version of john lennon's imagine:

I'd have to instantly cut my throat and throw myself off a bridge if I was ever to watch another segment of American Idol.

I'd rather sit here, and enjoy my beer and King Crimson.

 

I don't understand why some people have to be SO dramatic about it, I mean if you don't like something, fine, but geez, it's just a tv show.

 

watching that show is like swimming in a pool of dirty needles

 

It's a TV show that destroying good music by making SHIT popular.

 

People treat music like garbage these days. I would rather see beatles songs used in Milk commercials, like Ode to joy was.

 

i don't fucking care. i liked the little kids version of imagine. john lennon worship is stupid.

 

Now THAT I can drink to!

Which album?

 

People actually watch American Idol?

 

this is our first year. we LOVE it.

 

hahaha I actually saw that.. my roommate was watching.. and I cannot believe Simon said it was great.. like.. he had to be sarcastic.. I thought Simon would point it out that he completely ruinned the song! Simon probably hates John Lennon.

 

it's a total shameless pleasure for us now. we never watched it. now we've even VOTED. it's such a hoot.

 

Went from "In the Court of the Crimson King" into "Lizard" over the day.

 

I don't know man that kid didn't do too bad with "Imagine" but nobody sings it as good as Lennon. Now don't get me wrong I've got no problem with gay people in general but that gay kid scares me alot, man. He just don't act right. Even for a gay cat.
(Shudder) It's like he took Elvis' ol' hip shake an' transformed it into the new gay man romp, with a shitload more pomp.

 

Indy Hippy, I believe it's an actual law that if you post comments about "American Idol" you have to immediately relinquish all claim to the word "Indy". lol

I think I'm in love with that gay kid, whats-his-name. His song last night was the gayest thing I've ever seen. (And I've seen two gay guys having sex!) I'm just amazed that he's managed to get himself to a place where he can utterly vamp all over the place in front of the entire country. He makes me wish I was a guy so I could go gay for him. I voted for him like ten times. I bet he made the entire Midwest feel really uncomfortable.

 

he reminds me of my little sister when she's trying to hard. i don't like him. it's old and been done too much. the kid's a charicature. but he's set out to be an entertainer. that's cool.

his version of tainted love was crappy, though his voice was good at the end.

 

Yeah, I didn't think the song itself was good either. I just think he's so far out there, it's hilarious.

Best performances of the night were definitely Dread Boy (who would've guessed we'd someday hear a Leonard Cohen song on Idol? Is this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?) and Chikezie, who still rocks my vagina.

 

can i take a minute to point out that john lennon's original version of imagine, while musically pretty good, was rather inconsistant with lennon's life? i mean....

"imagine no possessions," come on!

heres one of john lennon's mansions:


and another...


i think you get the idea....

either way, while i think he was a decent musician, i think his best stuff was with the beatles, hands down. imagine is ok, but its really not breathtaking by any stretch, and just because people sort of like the ideas in it they seem to think he must have been some amazing person.....

he was just a regular person when all things are said and done...

i dont see why so many people make him out to be some kind of god or incredibly wonderful guy or something....i don't know...

i just dont really have much appreciation for him outside of his work with the beatles.

and paul mccartney has turned into a total douchebag, and his last album is pure garbage.

 

i really hate that rocker guy, but his "hello," which i also always hated, was pretty flawless. taht annoyed me.

 

that beautiful dread boy offends me on sheer principal: he's flawlessly beautiful, probably really nice, probably paints like a master and is likely breezing through a phd whist completely stoned, because he's sickeningly perfect. he's a perfect person. i hate him. i voted for him.

 

Nesta, why do you dislike Paul McCartney?
