Javier 100% hands down. Had met John and spoke to him personally, up close. I've seen them all. Most impersonates are awesome though. However, I'm an older man, been to real Beatle concerts, have every album, 100's of Beatle magazine, followed many avenues of all this. Been to Liverpool many times. Seen many of the tribute Beatles, all over the world. Javier's looks, mannerisms, and of course voice, nails it. Yes, someone mentioned his Argentina accent filtering in, yes, very mildly.
Javier parisi is approved by john lennons family (sister, closest friend an Julian lennon) as the real john lennons impersonator. Must see his official channel. I assume he isnt in Fav Four right now cause he is not from England. Julian lennon choose him to represent his father in a biopic. Thats says something. You know....
All of them have John's look down very well, but none of them have that slightly raspy, lower-pitched Scouse accent that John had. That, plus John's sharp-edged wit between songs.
I like all 3 of them, but I think Gary is getting on a little bit. I love Javier, but over all I think if you want looks and a voice at a good age, I would say Adam would be the best choice (in my opinion)
John Lemon Adam is good but his hair color is too light, he really needs it a little darker,I do think Javier look a lot more and sounds a lot more like Lennon though , but he cant play the piano .
To be honest I choose Adam Hastings because: he not only looks like John Lennon but he sounds just like him. When I met him he talked exactly like John did and he can do every move that John does for every bootleg Beatles show and fab four show. He also is funny during the shows just like John. Gary Gibson was a great john too but he is older now and he doesn't really look like john anymore. Javier is also a great john, but just in looks in my opinion he doesn't really sing like him. Just my opinion.
Gary was on Stars In Their Eyes and he was the spitting image of Lennon. Couldn't look any closer. Even Adam Hastings doesn't come as close as Gary did in the mid 90s. In terms of sound, I don't think anyone tops Eddie McClaine of the Cavern Beatles. Not the strongest musician, but his vocals were spot on. Wish there were more videos of him around
None of them really. Some of them really look like Lennon, but none of them have the voice on a consistent basis. Some songs are okay, here and there but it sounds so artifical. I have always maintained that John Lennon had the most difficult voice to duplicate. Its not like These imitators...This guy sounds 90 percent like Robert Plant ua-cam.com/video/5smb6LOrleE/v-deo.html the next guy sounds almost exactly like Freddie Mercury ua-cam.com/video/QkCxE2Lh458/v-deo.html There are guys who can come close to a lot of guys, except John Lennon.
Lana Jenkins Entertainment At 2:03 is Javier Parisi , I think he is a clone of Lennon, sound and looks exactly like him , just can't play a piano or he would probably be in Fab Four
In a business capacity I've worked with most of these guys and they're really dedicated to their craft, I'll say that much. The only problem is that most of them actually think they're living conduits for Lennon. That's where they usually part company with reality and an obsession with plastic surgery to try and become the living physical embodiment of John Lennon takes over. They can often be seen frequenting the Lennon tourist hotspots and they make people smile too, but when you peel back the layers it's a bit creepy that they think that they're perceived as actually being Lennon himself.
Adam Hastings and Javier Parisi are both amazing. It’s difficult to choose but I might have to go with Adam Hastings because he sounds more like Lennon. But I might have to go with Javier for looks, although Adam already looks a lot like John
Gary Gibson may have the look, but he doesn't have the sound. Javier Parisi is better in both but not quite there. But in my book it is, and always will be, the winner hands down is Adam Hastings. The video here does not do him justice. Check out more recent videos of him with the Fab Four. Not only is he a dead ringer for Lennon, he sounds more like Lennon than not only either of these guys, but any other Lennon tribute artist you can name (and there are many).
the bish Yes, he had a good run but his run is over. I have to agree that Adam Hastings is the best one out there now. There was a reason that Ron McNeil chose him as his replacement, especially considering all the John Lennon tribute artists there are out there.
GARY GIBSON crushed it, in spite of the first impersonator taking a 1/3 of the video. Gary's look was better and his voice was spot on. The first one didn't have the tone or roughness, or attitude.
Gibson looked good..but doesn't sound that great..and he is too old now. Javier's expressions look unnatural and wooden...and to top it all, his Spanish accent comes in here & there. There can be only one...ex Bootleg Beatles..and now with The Fab Four..Adam Hastings.
They are okay, I heard even better Gary Gibson-Lennons, Rick Alan is also very good. But the point is: This is one surprisingly hard to copy voice, if you really go into the details.
Gary is pretty trash Javier is a great Lennon but his original accent kinda ruins it Adam is definitely the best the way he acts on stage is spot on his voice is amazing and he looks exactly like John
Wait I want to clarify something I don’t think Gary is trash what I meant to say was that Gary has gotten holder and that has affected him when he was younger he was great he still is a very good impersonator but he’s no the best. Javier is also definitely one of my favorite Lennon impersonators I love him and what he does so much they only thing that affects his impersonation is his native accent but he does do a good John voice. I still believe Adam is the best John Lennon the way he acts is perfect he has the mannerisms down to the smallest thing huge respect for him Javier and gary
Adam Hastings has improved his performance lately... he has set a step down a tone on his voice level and this has made him sounds closer to John's voice..
My new channel ua-cam.com/channels/FWwjsWu3JEwFeXD-7aAPNQ.html
I heard there is a better impersonator, he’s called John Lennon.
never heard of him, is he Irish?
Hmmm
@@natalie-cu3to i heard he was German 🤔
Or his 2 sons
thought he was scottish
Gary would be a great young John, Adam would be a great sgt pepper era John, and Javier would be a great later John.
Astrosynical Gary is in his 60s. I don’t think he’d be a young John now. In his heyday he was great as John mid 1960s.
See Mark Staycer
Javier 100% hands down. Had met John and spoke to him personally, up close. I've seen them all. Most impersonates are awesome though.

In my opinion, Adam Hastings SOUNDS like John Lennon, Javier Parisi LOOKS like him.
God’s just running out of ideas on making people huh
No
LENN JOHNSTON IS THE JOHN LENNON MASTER !
Javier parisi is approved by john lennons family (sister, closest friend an Julian lennon) as the real john lennons impersonator. Must see his official channel. I assume he isnt in Fav Four right now cause he is not from England. Julian lennon choose him to represent his father in a biopic. Thats says something. You know....
what a load of bullshit
Javier sounds nothing like John in Imagine. I can't even understand some of the words he sings.
I love Javier, too. He's - since John - the best I've ever heard and seen.
@@Arwen1964 and he´s improving each and every day. for his lovers and haters
@@javicvic6626 I don't get how someone can hate him. That's jealousy, I guess.
The guy who sang Imagine was pretty convincing to me!
Julian and Sean are both the best.
Gary Gibson. Hands down.
😂😂😂😂
All of them have John's look down very well, but none of them have that slightly raspy, lower-pitched Scouse accent that John had. That, plus John's sharp-edged wit between songs.
Javier Parisi is perfection. ❤❤❤
Adam Hastings, with Javier a close second
Javier Parisi from Argentina does a very good job of impersonating John.
Tied Between Gary Gibson and Javier Paris I✌✌
Liam Gallagher 😂
Biblical
1:16 best paul impersonator
0:12 that is really John Lennon. I have seen the video. It’s from a concert he held in New York.
In looks, sound, and mannerisms without a doubt, It's Adam Hastings!
Kevin Toler
but his hair is too light
All the guys who replaced him after 1966. OK, the new character was created.
I like all 3 of them, but I think Gary is getting on a little bit. I love Javier, but over all I think if you want looks and a voice at a good age, I would say Adam would be the best choice (in my opinion)

Javier Parisi!!
In my opinion they are all number one
Gary was on Stars In Their Eyes and he was the spitting image of Lennon. Couldn't look any closer. Even Adam Hastings doesn't come as close as Gary did in the mid 90s.

Javier Parise os the New John Lennon...
He is come from argentine...
You missed out the UK's current top John Lennon tribute, Gaz Keenan!
I thought Gary Gibson however the little I saw of Javier parisi was very WOW. would love to see more of him
...Ian Hart...he doesn't look like him but he captures the essence so much...
None of them really. Some of them really look like Lennon, but none of them have the voice on a consistent basis. Some songs are okay, here and there but it sounds so artifical. I have always maintained that John Lennon had the most difficult voice to duplicate. Its not like These imitators...This guy sounds 90 percent like Robert Plant
ua-cam.com/video/5smb6LOrleE/v-deo.html
the next guy sounds almost exactly like Freddie Mercury
ua-cam.com/video/QkCxE2Lh458/v-deo.html
There are guys who can come close to a lot of guys, except John Lennon.
Ron McNeil the Fab Four he is the best
i agree
Gary Gibson has my vote
Adam Hastings is the best John Lennon impersonator. The second best is Tyson Kelly.
I agree with you! Tyson and Adam are the best in the business.
Mark Benson {1964 The Tribute} singing This Boy - nothing better!
Mark Staycer cause hes literally John
Javier Parisi
Who else notice that Paul impersenator at 1:19?
I have to say he's the best
2:03 isn’t that really John Lennon? Or is that an impersonator?!? I gotta know! My gosh!
Lana Jenkins Entertainment
At 2:03 is Javier Parisi , I think he is a clone of Lennon, sound and looks exactly like him , just can't play a piano or he would probably be in Fab Four
@@ekim10191 YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS
mark staycer, Gary Gibson , and Adam Hastings 👍
Look up a group called The Fab Four. There you will see a Good John Lennon.. Your Welcome
In a business capacity I've worked with most of these guys and they're really dedicated to their craft, I'll say that much. The only problem is that most of them actually think they're living conduits for Lennon.

Gary Gibson forever
Gary for sure
Search diego perez of the beats.
Es genial ese Lennon
Gary Gibson
Gary Gibson and Javier Parisi
Wow
For a young version my choice is Gary Gibson.
For an old Lennon.,as he would look today , had he lived......Mark Staycer (scary)
Adam look like john 1964
gary look like John between 1965-1980
javier is1971
Javier with that face can be the 1967 lennon with mustache/pepper era
Like in 1:59 mark
Adam Hastings and Javier Parisi are both amazing. It’s difficult to choose but I might have to go with Adam Hastings because he sounds more like Lennon. But I might have to go with Javier for looks, although Adam already looks a lot like John
TheMusicalGenius
Adams hair is too light though
First and last ones
Gary Gibson may have the look, but he doesn't have the sound.
Javier Parisi is better in both but not quite there.

7JANEWAY I like all 3, but Gary Gibson is the best.
Jonathan Stein Far from it for the reasons I stated.
the bish Doesn’t have the look or the sound. There’s a reason he wasn’t one of the choices.
@the bish Ron is semi retired now..and getting too old.
the bish Yes, he had a good run but his run is over.
I have to agree that Adam Hastings is the best one out there now. There was a reason that Ron McNeil chose him as his replacement, especially considering all the John Lennon tribute artists there are out there.

in my opinion Javier Parisi is the best
adam has the look
gary has the moves
javier has the voice
it’s clearly aaron
Adam Hastings is my pick. Gary is good, but he’s starting to look less like Lennon. Javier kinda sucks in my opinion.
Atlantic Coast Railfanner Javier is the best one. I’m just saying
@@pooker1574 yes yes YES I agree
Gibson and Parisi
Javier prisi
Mi primo... El primero.
aaron johnson
Adam Hastings
For me it's either aaron or javier.
Neil Innes
Gary...no doubt
Not Javier, but he Garry Gibson
Mark Staycer
Anyone know any good Paul impersonators?
Gary Gibson is the best john lennon impersonator.
Gabe Newell
Where was Sean for all this???
Javier Parisi is
Gibson looked good..but doesn't sound that great..and he is too old now. Javier's expressions look unnatural and wooden...and to top it all, his Spanish accent comes in here & there. There can be only one...ex Bootleg Beatles..and now with The Fab Four..Adam Hastings.
JAVIER PARISI
Tyson Kelly.
Gotta be noel galleghar
gary gibson
The BEST is Javier Parisi. Arggy Parisi is John lemon
The clip of Adam here sounds nothing like John
Adam hastings
Yeah I read about Gibson, had a nose job like John's done he said.
Buddy Holly
Is Javier Parise the best
Your going by looks not sound .
If you split this into 2 categories
I’d have a chance as a sound alike
Surely..gary gibson n farisi
Gary Gibson end of.
PARISI is the great one
el mejor lennon soy yo boludo
GARY IS JOHNS SON?
For me Gary Gibson is the Best...
The bootleg Beatles john sounds best
And was Adam who impersonated John Lennon... playing for The Bootleg
1:18 paul McCartney impersonator?
Gary is john
They are okay, I heard even better Gary Gibson-Lennons, Rick Alan is also very good. But the point is: This is one surprisingly hard to copy voice, if you really go into the details.
Adam Hastings is for sure the best, then Gary and Javier is not very good though he looks like John a lot
Gary is pretty trash Javier is a great Lennon but his original accent kinda ruins it Adam is definitely the best the way he acts on stage is spot on his voice is amazing and he looks exactly like John

Perhaps his son?
javier parisi
Adam Hastings has improved his performance lately... he has set a step down a tone on his voice level and this has made him sounds closer to John's voice..
Down a tone? What does that mean? Musically, " down a tone" means dropping the key of the music...and he certainly has not done that.
@@realdiamondshow Apologize for my misunderdtanding, you're right ...what I meant was to go down one pitch on the musical scale...
