Yes John Lennon was one in a million. He was one of the founding members of The Beatles who are arguably the greatest music group of all time. This song has such a wonderful and yet controversial message to it. Really pay attention to the lyrics. You will understand why this song will forever stand the test of time.
"A new artist we've never heard, John Lennon..." Oh, how nice for him! He has so much to listen to for the first time, and a lifetime to learn what it really means.
I agree that every person has value, but I do not support John Lennon's naive utopian interpretation (tribute) of communism. Song's message is Anti God, Anti Religion, Anti Society and Anti Family. These messages couched in flowery phrases within an enchanted melody. "Propaganda" at its' very best! Idealology that this song disavows is exactly the beliefs and behaviors that will positively effect the manner in which we engage with others.
My brother: John Lennon was the founding member of The Beatles. And if you say you've never heard of them before, I'm changing the channel in a hurry. The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time. They not only changed music, they changed history. The Beatles have sold more records than anybody in music history. By a BIG margin. They have sold over 1.3 billion records. 1.3 BILLION!
Correction, the Beatles sold a 'claimed' 600 million, the same as Elvis. Given that Elvis was at his best in a far less affluent world, based on sales I would put him way ahead. Outright lies are never a good idea.
@@paulsullivan1650 As I said before, the sold a claimed 600 million with certified sales of 283.4 million. Go look up the official figures instead of telling stupid, provable lies.
@@mohammadhifzan747 No John was playing in a "Scuffle Group" with Stuart Sudcliff when Paul went to see them play. in the mid 1950s..... Though it was Paul who "introduced" George to John, but it took a little convicing to let Geoge into their new group. "The Quarey Men..
Let me tell you this my friend: You've got plenty to catch up onto. John Lennon was a member of the Beatles and pls don't say you never heard of them. The group of 4 split in 1970 & each had a career of his own. The other 3 were Paul MacCartney, George Harrisson & Ringo Starr (ex-drummer). John was shot in early 80's while George died of cancer much later. 2 John Lennon songs I would recommend: "Instant Karma" and "Give peace a chance".
This song is iconic and was an anthem for John and Yokos beliefs of the world it was very forward thinking and just another great song from one half of the Lennon McCartney epic song writing duo from the Beatles so yes you should recognize his voice
My uncle once told me it was his favorite song. At his funeral I played and sang it. The response was amazing. So many people never heard this song. I am blessed to share it with everyone.
Amazing that whole generations of people have never heard of John Lennon, the most famous member of the most famous band ever. And this is the most iconic song of the most iconic musician singer ever... still means you got a lot of great music to catch up on...
Throughout the world lost havent heard of George Washington but certainly know John Lennon.Must go because he's just a dumb little twit and he'll spoil the best song ever written.
I agreed wit you, this guys are reacting to music and stuff... therefore they are into music... why they dont know know about Lennon? or Pink Floyd? and its not about age! its about knowledge, specially if you have a platform.
You've definitely been living under a rock. I have been watching your vids for a little over an hour now and you don't seem to know any of the most famous, iconic groups and artists of all time. I'm happy to see you exploring everything you have missed by previously locking yourself into one genre. Look up some of the artists you like, their stories will amaze you and turn you into a real music lover.
My favorite song by John Lennon, have loved him since the British Invasion of 1963 when he & The Beatles changed the world of music and drove fans crazy with what was called Beatlemania 😁 John,Paul,George & Ringo woke the world up with their music 💕
This is one of those songs that you shouldn't just get lost in the sound, but you should listen to the lyrics. His message when they came out with the song was profound, and is still relevant to this day.
John also has a great rock and roll voice! Instant Karma, Whatever Gets You Through the Night, Power to the People. There are so many! Now that you’ve discovered him, your journey is just beginning.
kinda sad that their are adults alive who somehow have never heard of John Lennon. only the singer of the Beatles, one of the best,most influential voices, songwriter of all time. most successful too.
We would not have the diversity of music without the Beatles and there wouldn’t have been the Beatles without John Lennon. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the Beatles-their music was that monumental for the time. Sparked a musical revolution
Don't even think I can Imagine someone never having heard this...pun intended. John Lennon, one of the Beatles....boggles my mind that he could not have heard this. Is he an Alien from outer space?
John Lennon's first US was with the Beatles. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" hit #1 on Feb 1, 1964. They had 7 #1 hits in 1964. They are 1960s popular rock-n-roll. Aug 20, 1969 is the last time they were in the studio together. Big drama. They are the best selling music act of all time with 600 million units sold. And they have the most Billboard #1 hits in the US & UK. "Imagine" is from 1971.
Why are people being so judgy? I find it crazy that he’d never heard of John Lennon but that just makes it sweeter that he has now. You can’t help not having been exposed to certain things & not knowing they exist but trying to expand your horizons is pretty cool. More people should try it.
Songs did pass the test of time with their lyrics, when you think about it, how much have we really changed over the last 40 years. This song is from the 1980s you can take it and bring it forward all the way to 2020
I find it hard to believe there's anyone on the planet that's never heard the Beatles. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since this was his solo work
Dude. Lennon is a legend. Gimme Some Truth, Instant Karma, Cold Turkey, How Do You Sleep?, Jealous Guy, Mother, Beautiful Boy, Isolation. So many solo bangers and that's not even including his Beatles stuff. Definitely worth listening to more of his songs. ✌️❤️
@love layne Then your FBI bosses must love you for posting their tightly kept secrets in UA-cam comments.😂🤣😂🤣 It's especially interesting, considering that there were no US armed conflicts going on in 1980, when Lennon was shot by the deranged Mark David Chapman. So I'm not sure exactly what John Lennon would have been doing protesting a non-existent war. And especially because he had just finished recording and releasing his album, Double Fantasy, very shortly before his death. Even on the day of the murder he was in the a recording studio.
@@jamierobertson2018 No Jamie. Anyone who thinks any other group come close to them is just ignorant of the facts. It's like Bob Marley and the Wailers. They are not one of the best Reggae groups ever. They are far and away the best reggae group ever.
Lennon is one of the greats, and it's great that you appreciate the subtleties of his performance, but I think the most important part of this song is the message. It's probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
THE LATE: MR. LENNON FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE #BEATLES SINGER SONGWRITER PRODUCER, CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST & MORE.. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. THANK YOU FOR SELECTING #ICON JOHN LENNON, FOR YOUR RV.
John Lennon was a founding member of The Beatles, a Band that has inspired countless musicians.... Even Kurt Cobain of Nirvana is quoted as saying the Beatles were his favorite band. Personally, I've never really cared for most of the solo music the members of The Beatles made after the band broke up. But I will forever remain a Beatles fan! Ps. John Lennon was assassinated on December 8th 1980 by a fan... so sad
John Lennon? I think I've heard of him. Love it, this is a genuine reaction. This is why I watch. Should definitely do more of him. Take care be safe keep up the journey
Imagine. Imagine never hearing "Imagine". Imagine not knowing who John Lennon is. Imagine not knowing about The Beatles. I imagine I must be getting pretty old.
I cannot believe you never heard of The Beatles. This band is iconic. He was part of it, John Lennon. And I believe you are unaware of what songs they have written and sung. Its phenomenal. Please school yourself to what accomplishments they have achieved. You will be surprise; who influenced them, Americans, especially black music/artists. Plus, they are part of the 'British Invasion' in music history(1960's). Glad you enjoyed this tune. You are in for a treat and adventure, when it comes to John Lennon and others in this music history genre. Get ready to open your ears, eyes and mind. You will be pleasantly surprised. BTW this song is one of my favorite songs and many others.
I have watched 4 of your reactions. I can understand you not knowing Hank Williams jr but Led zepplin and The Beatles(John Lennon) are 2 of the 3 biggest rock bands of all times. Do you know Paul McCartney?
Have you ever heard about The Beatles? Just a little band from Liverpool, considered the greatest band in history. This song is the biggest peace anthem ever written.
John could have a soft voice but he could also belt them sounds out with the best of them. There will never be another John Lennon. I recommend you listen to Working Class Hero. John was a rebel.
No, he isn't always this smooth. 😀 He was the leader of the Beatles. He can do loud, soft, mellow, romantic, raspy, whiny, weird and everything in between. Recorded with a band and solo for 18 years.
@RomeLifeReactions, I just subscribed today, nice to see a new "reactor" in the scene, you're doing great so far. Is there any way you can make the music seem a little less "tinny"? It seems like they've been stripped of any base or mids whatsoever. I'm not sure how you would setup your equipment, but I know a lot of people doing react videos have figured it out.

Oh wow - you will be blown away by the music history behind this man who started with the most famous rock band of all time, The Beatles. WIll look forward to watching you watch them for the first time!
John Lennon is my favorite singer/song writer and the Beatles are my favorite band. I'm subscribing after seeing you do this reaction. He has a very smooth voice but he is actually a rock and roller.
Your reaction is the best advertisement for doing research on someone before you do a reaction. I understand that you are young and you may not necessarily be familiar with John Lennon or the Beatles. But just a brief google search for a bit of info wouldn't have taken away from your very first time hearing a song by them. John was a really good singer, but this song is ALL about the lyrics are what John was saying in them. Peace to you!
How about actually listen to the words he was singing? The "smoothness" of John Lennon's voice is the last thing John would have wanted you to take from this song. I think you missed the whole point of Imagine.
It doesn't matter when you were born, I can't even imagine how you could NOT know who John Lennon is (was). It boggles my mind
I agree with you.
Sad really. All music pre 70s will die out.
boggles my mind. exactly. to not know he was one of the beatles. the most popular band in the world. wow

THAT'S for sure!
Nevertheless, the song concept was largely her creation. She was, and is a conceptual artist, not a singer, but rock fans don't get this at all.
I have never known ANYONE to not know of John Lennon. Boggles my mind. He is fantastic.
One of the GREATEST SONGS EVER. World Wide Love. John Lennon was Magic.

He was a brilliant lyricist and poet
Imagine most people missing the point of the song

@@devigaliher9766 Yes, amongst a society that promotes profit over people, and " might makes right " ideologies.

Amen to you my fellow Beatles historian, you and i are among millions so glad you let our novice listener in on the world wide FAB4
Jealous Guy is also great.
Beautiful Boy.... I sang this song to my boys when they were little
"Watchin' the Wheels" is a must to listen to, and "Woman"
Always love to see new people discovering new music outside of their box. Another really good one from John Lennon is "Mother".
This song is iconic and was an anthem for John and Yokos beliefs of the world it was very forward thinking and just another great song from one half of the Lennon McCartney epic song writing duo from the Beatles so yes you should recognize his voice
sometimes julian lennon songs come on and i confuse them with his dad's

Another Masterpiece by the and/or a Beatle(s)!
Check out his "Watching the Wheels" or "Woman" or "No 9 Dream." Or "Across the Universe" Or the entire Beatles catalog...
The most perfect message presented in possibly the greatest song ever written!!

You should listen to "In My Life". John with Paul McCartney had the most incredible voices together in hamony.
I have those lyrics tattooed on me 🥰 One of the favorites of me and my moms
This guy's awesome for playing this song it's better late than never. .
Seems like this guy was in a group at one time.....

But just a brief google search for a bit of info wouldn't have taken away from your very first time hearing a song by them. John was a really good singer, but this song is ALL about the lyrics are what John was saying in them. Peace to you!
i agree, his reaction and comments were cringeworthy.
This is more than just a song, for many it's a Mantra, for others it's an Anthem.
John Lennon didn’t always sound this smooth, no. Check out “Twist & Shout” by the Beatles, lol.
You're the first reactor I've seen not to freak out about the ideas in the song.
It doesn’t seem like he heard the lyrics.
How about actually listen to the words he was singing? The "smoothness" of John Lennon's voice is the last thing John would have wanted you to take from this song. I think you missed the whole point of Imagine.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
