i always wonder why everyone is hating this act - everyone hate it but no one tell why? its because its atheistic song and religious people hate it? I understand Ben Shapiro hate it but what about other seems to non religious people? wtf?

I think it’s because most of the people in that video are singing off key and out of tune.

Howdareyouism is the new religion.

That’s a part of it as well. I’ve heard some people say, in all seriousness, that no one but John Lennon should ever sing ‘Imagine’, which is pretty stupid.

Howdareyouism is the angry challenging of anything that is "acceptable". I hear it a lot when I point out that one of my cousins has said something benthicly stupid.

Haven't seen the singing or any backlash. Must not be that big of a deal.

Here’s the original celebrity version alongside a musical transcription. This should give you a clue:





It’s a very simple song, and most of these celebrities are fucking it up. No unity of tempo, the key changes with damn near every new voice, some of them can barely keep to the 12-tone scale (and bizarrely, Professional singer Norah Jones is one of the biggest offenders in this regard.) Maybe if they had someone make a backing track, it might have created enough discipline to help keep the song fairly decent.

There’s also the standard problems people have been seeing since people noticed it was a multi-millionaire who talked about imagining no possessions, but, frankly, listening to Ben Shapiro play the devil’s advocate and failing miserably really helps put Lennon’s original message into perspective.

Is this for some "good" cause? Or is it the usual celebrities can't handle the boredom of lockdown so they want to do something stupid? Zzzzzz...

Imagine all the people, sharing all the world. People, are the problem. They are a truly wretched species.

Because they're tone deaf ultra wealthy people trying to relate to people living paycheck to paycheck. It was condescending and stupid.
