I had no idea Kevin could hit notes like that! Beatboxing, cello, songwriting, singing… he's the epitome of musical talent
Elia Hope Kevin is just about as close to perfect as you can get!
Elia Hope AND HE WENT TO YALE!!!
Elia Hope And he plays the saxophone
Doesn't he also speak Chinese?
So glad Kevin decided to derail his medical career. This is where he belongs.
AVI AND KEVIN EACH HAVE THE VOICES OF AN ANGEL
Brenna Smith Mitch's solo 😭👌🏼
Brenna Smith Ikr? I loved their parts!
And they barely have their solo parts
I wish they could get more solos. I always see fawning over Scott, Kristin, and more than anyone else, Mitch, and I'm always thinking "did you NOT hear that drop/beat box combo?"
I'm fully aware they coordinate these songs and its not a competition, and I don't see how I was being disrespectful in the slightest. Rather, I'd think, ignoring members of the group instead of realizing they ALL need to work together and that all of their contributions are important is worse. They all deserve praise. Honestly, the fact that you put fans in quotations as if I'm insincere about my love for any of them is kind of insulting. All I said is I enjoy seeing those two get time to shine since it seems they're often overlooked if you ever scroll through the comments. I think every member of the group is amazingly talented, and I support every one of them. Maybe you read my original comment wrong, but hopefully this clears thing up as a genuine fan.
I am 68 years old, in tears from my soul having been touched so deep. Thank you & God bless you all! 🙏🌟✨💫 Absolute Stars💖
Pareil
Why have I never heard of this group before. They are brilliant.
You MUST hear them sing "Hallelujah"!❤
I understand everyone is talking about the meaning of the song in the comments but DAMN KEVIN HIT THAT NOTE!
I sense of a Jason Derulo high note. But yeah, Kevin. Dang. :O
Aaron Canchola ya
Aaron Canchola chills and jaw drop.
Aaron Canchola true though!
literally shook
1M in a single day. Boom
C.R. Shipman in 16 hours only. LEGENDS❤
That's not a lot.
Childhood Obesity & Soda are u demented of course it's a lot
C.R. Shipman that's that power of Pentatonix
C.R. Shipman Hallelujah had 12 million within 7 hours😭
The fact Scott met the love of his life right after filming this video makes me so emotional
Wow, the identity cards is such a powerful moment in the performance. This is in addition to the melodies of their amazing acapella.
No era actuación
It raped the song.
@@Esico6 you raped the song
Those cards MADE the song even more powerful to me that the original. It's inspired!
@@Esico6 so you two learned nothing from this song
"Imagine there's no heaven..."
But--if there's no heaven, how did these five angels get here?
Kathy Washburn Bunn "imagine no possession ", but mitch, I want you
Kathy Washburn Bunn yes yes yes yes yes
Hahaha! Now Bathilda, let's not get possessive... ;)
Kathy Washburn Bunn ikr
Well, when a Mummy and a Daddy love eachother very much...
i love how avi looks so much shorter than everyone but kirstie is wearing like 6 inch platforms
Well shoot. I didnt even notice that🤣
@@JaviaMusic Me neither, until I took a look at them...🤣🤣🤣
@@sorabuntz905 thats gotta hurt
How do her feet not hurt?
right? that needed rearranged...positioning is everything....lol, but nothing stops the amazement that they bring!
This music video is actually important, even in 2023.
Man this is six years old already?!?!?! I remember when it came out...cried as hard then as I did now
I cried wtf, why are their voices so beautiful?
Erika Chan yeah so am I
Erika Chan oof I cried too. Those harmonies got me😭
Erika Chan Helps that John wrote bitching lyrics.
i cried on the part where there are words written..
mee too
KEVIN WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HOLDING OUT ON US YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN, YOU
Katie Sullivan KEVIN IS AMAZING
This is my fave comment on youtube.
Dragana Radi
How many divas in this band ??!!
Forgive the length but bear with me? This group makes beautiful, pure, honest music. Ive been a fan since I first heard them. I'm 61 years old and was raised in a different time but I had awesome parents and I was raised to accept people for who they are. Even so, I had a little trouble with LGBTQ+ not because I didn't think they have a right to live their lives for themselves, as themselves, but because I had a problem of understanding. LGBT I got but I didn't understand Q+. I talked to my oldest granddaughter, who knows I'm probably the most accepting old fart in the world, about my confusion and she got frustrated with me because I just wasn't getting it. I got home and did what I do. Researched it. I was reminded of something my Aunt told me when I was younger. She was a descendant of the Seneca tribe in New York. There was a term that was used and I can't remember the native word but it roughly translates to person of two spirits. Gender fluid or pansexual I guess they'd be called today. These people weren't ostracized. They were held in high regard. Your tribe was considered blessed if you had a person of two spirits that lived among you. They were actually quite high the tribe and were asked to be counselors. They settled disputes between husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. They were involved in peace talks. They didn't live as man or woman but as both and as neither. And that's when it hit me and I finally understood at least a little better. My granddaughter said it wasn't perfect understanding but she was proud of me for it. To see this group of people together making such beautiful music does my heart good. If everyone could live their lives like this, accepting others for who they are, the world would be a much better place. To all the members of the LGBTQ+ community, I'm sorry for my ignorance but I am trying. And I am learning. I wish nothing more than for you to feel safe and happy with who you are and if that's the case, then I'm happy for you. And please remember, not all of us boomers are locked in the old mindset. Much love to all who've put up with my rambling. lol
I love that!
Thank you. Please keep sticking up for us! We need more people like you in this world🙏
Thank you for your patience and understanding of the community, yes it's a bit confusing most of the time but to read what you wrote here about how you feel about the community it makes me smile to know that there are folks from the older generations that actually have a good heart. I'm appreciative for you to be able to open your mind and heart to see that we are all human and have a right to be who we are. I've struggled with my identity a good long while, afraid to open up and let the truth about myself be in the light of others. There's so much more than what is on the outside, we are all human and have feelings as well. I am one they would possibly consider of two spirits, and I was told this by a Apache chief and elders when I was younger. When they told me about this even the Cherokee elders agreed and told me I was a butterfly by heart of one and a wolf by second. They told me that I was of the mother Earth and that I had two spirit animals. One of which was the butterfly because I was expecting more change in my life and of the wolf because I was going to be able to teach others about different situations in life and how to handle them. I have been told that I have the love for others like the Great Spirit has for his children and his creations. I'm very protective of the ones who are my new family, and the one who is my soulmate. He is of two spirits himself, and he just needs a little help with understanding of the situation. He is as protective as a bear and as brave as an eagle, but he teaches new ways as an alpha Wolf. Sorry I didn't mean to get off on a rambling spree lol all I am saying is thank you for having such an open mind and heart about how some people are. I'm considered bi sexual in the eyes of man. But I proudly accept who I am because God made me the way he seen before I was born. He sees how open hearted and open minded I am towards everyone in this world. I see the good in people even if they don't see it in themselves. But as I said earlier thank you for your kindness and patience with trying to properly understand the community. God bless you and your family ❤❤❤❤
Мда... Ты дурак!! Ведомый!!! Как вам всем через СМИ промывают мозги))) вот ты олень)))
Don't be so harsh on yourself, there are some of us (me, for instance) that don't even understand ourselves. Trying to understand the other is a great quality and you're doing it.
"Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people. Living life in peace." No one, no group of people should fear for their own life by simply wanting to live in peace with their family.
this hits different during these quarantine days
ADashOfMark did you see the celebrities cover this song? It was horrendous 😂
PTX is one of the things getting me through this quarantine, I've pretty much been bingewatching them on youtube
For real lmao. I just imagine there will be a day we can come out of our shelters and truly make a world as described in this song
charles connell actually made a backing track to the celebrity cover and made it kind of tolerable with like 23487 key changes lol
I think it's beautiful🙏♥️
I just realized this was one of Avi's last songs with them, the year that he left. What a killer to go out on, man.
I'm new to Pentatonix, which one is Avi?
@@erinmayo5170 the deep voiced guy with the beard
Why did he leave
- Esma Now he is going his own music, go check it out!
He simply IMAGINEd Pentatonix without himself.
I think they genuinely elevated this song to gospel. It hits me differently than John’s version, which is beautiful in its stark arrangement, straightforward performance, and simple, delightful melody.
This is more like a hymn. Both impossible to improve on. Perfect things.
1. Why is gospel "above" the original?
2. Ironic calling a song that imagines a world without religion "gospel" haha
@@Egalitarian917whoa. Where’d you come from with that incisive and important commentary? Thanks for pointing that out! I think you just made me a better person, and the Internet a safer place for the children. We are truly a brotherhood of man here on RUclips. Have a blessed day!
@@ScottMCohn I'm happy to hear that! Have a godless day, I guess?
avi's high note around the beginning was so satisfying to hear
Can we appreciate the notes that Kevin hit. Or is it just me?
Edit: I only just came back to this comment recently, I didn't expect 900+ likes. Now it's 1500! Thanks people
All of them!! Who knew he could go sooo high?!
Amen😂
@@melodyyoung5293 I can
Lego: hehehehehe
YES! His high notes are beautiful! 😇
a.rob.productions 1 listen to the note that avi hit at like 3:45
I'm a 73 year old grandmother and I am crying listening to this song. I have seen it all. I lived in a neighborhood of Jewish people, and I saw the tattoos on their arms, people hating each other so viciously is heartbreaking. I dream of us all being respectful of each other, enjoying our differences instead of being afraid of each other.
bless you 💛
susan severson Aww...this comment tore me up just thinking of it.
beautifully said
Bless you Susan. Much love.
Youre a legend grandma! See you in heaven
Have been listening to this cut for years; still one of the very best renditions of Imagine.
Yep, same here.... over and over
And for the people voicing hate for the placards, I think John Lennon would absolutely applaud this performance! One world, one people, equal for all. Understanding for all. It's kinda the whole point of the song.
Yooooo Kevin's voice thoughhhhh
the most amazing thing in the world. He stole the show in this. Every freaking time he opens his mouth to sing, I can't help but cry. It's such a pleasure to hear him sing like this...it's precious
Reuben Au Kevin's high notes tho!!! 💛
Jas Singh And why?
Jas Singh your comment should be eliminated
Reuben Au ikr😍😭
I know y'all can hear Kevin hitting those high notes.😭
Shayne Kendric That's because he's singing
Caya Bennett oh I know! But from 3:33-3:53 his notes are crazy.
Caya Bennett I appreciate your factual statement. Thank you.
Shayne Kendric I might cry it was beautiful
Shayne Kendric He is amazing,they must let him sing more❤❤
The best ever cover of John Lennon's song with a powerful, unmistakably clear message, No matter who you are, where you are from, what you believe - we are all the same - Humans. Stop the hate, stop the division - come together as brothers and sisters in peace and love.
Dot From The UK
Thank you, I am a white straight female widow and 73, and that is the most beautiful rendition of John Lennon's song I have ever heard. The message was heard loud and clear and brought a tear to my eyes. You are all so beautiful and your harmonies are faultless. Found you by accident on RUclips, so glad I did and I want to hear more of your fabulous voices. Peace, love and happiness always and stay safe, all my love Dot xxx.
When they started passing the signs to each other, it made me realise just how diverse this group is. Men and women. Whites and blacks. Jews and Aryans. Christians and LGBT+. With five members, so much diversity is embedded into this group. And once the signs went down, they started harmonising to represent their unity as human beings.
This video is magnificent. Thank you Pentatonix for being the kind and accepting people that you are.
Left handers and right handers
Sick with healthy. So much diversity so much love.
There aren't any muslims or hindis. What, they couldn't be bothered to include 30% of the human race!?
Novem Ber There is nothing wrong with LGBTQ+ people. They are people just like everyone else, and It's not hurting anybody to be LGBTQ+. Let people be happy
Danny T truer words have never been spoken until now. Preach man :)
Avi's voice brought me tears
Kevin's high notes made me want to do something with my life
Mitch's voice made me smile so much
Scott's voice melted my heart
Kirstie's voice made my mind calm
Pentaholics unite!
Lambkins 18 cringe
Yasssssssss
Lambkins 18 omg Same
almondlowe why do you cringe by the comment that comment is amazing it's showing that lambkins 18 likes the song and video he is supporting pentatonix
Is it weird that I watched this video like 10 times already
What a wonderful and glorious example of inclusively, equality and diversity. Pentatonic you are exceptional and grossly underrated 😊
If anyone is still listening to them in 2021. They did John Lennon proud when they sang his beautiful song.
Duh
@@nadinehoogenboezem4798 That wasn't a nice thing to say.
Sorry, I meant it was true what you said
@@nadinehoogenboezem4798 I apologize for putting my comment that way.
Am listening in 2022
I got chills when Kevin sang
William Akita IKR!!!!!
William Akita me too!
*William Akita* OML SAAAAAAME
_SUHLAY KEVIN_
I'm feelin ya
William Akita me too
THERE IS HEAVEN, ITS AVI SINGING SOLO AT THE START OF A SONG IM DEAD
Yeah I love when he gets his shot at the lead part. But he is so wonderful on the bass/rhythm parts I get torn...
You know he has songs in which he solos right? Nevertheless, Avi slayed 😍
I love how they manage to awaken so many emotions in such a short time
John Lennon would be blown away by these beautiful vocals singing his song in a way never done before. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents!
ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT KEVIN'S HIGH NOTE??
Destmond Lorenzo incredible!
Destmond Lorenzo I died a little when I heard it😭
Destmond Lorenzo I was like "omg I hear angels am I dead?" And then saw it was Kevo showing off his amazingly sweet voice
Destmond Lorenzo I heard it as soon as I saw your comment XD
Let's talk
Why is no one talking about that high note from Kevin or am I blind
Do you mean around 0:48 ? - that is amazing.
yup that's awesome
Kevin is best
Sharon Sun are you guys serious? This isn't the first time Kevin showed off his great vocal skills.
Sharon Sun i noticed it haha
Do you mean deaf?
First time hearing this. I love how they personalized it. They are one of the most diverse groups out there and one of the best.
I cry hysterically every time I see & hear this version of John Lennon's "Imagine".
Well Done, Pentatonix, Well Done!
I'm hearing Avi and crying
we're gonna miss you dude :(
jooj Why? Sorry, I'm not really a follower
Leandro Cappella he is leaving Pentatonix after the tour...
jooj they will never be the same without avi
which one IS avi?
Claire Claire the beard guy who starts
petition to give Avi more solo parts pls
Kevin too, goddamn
check out their Little Drummer Boy Cover, Avi's has a sweet little solo. But yea his lead voice is actually my favorite, if he ever does solo work I am buying instantly lol
yassss
Yes, and Kevin
Avi is actually coming out with a solo album if you didn't see it
That Song in the current times is more important than ever 🥺♥
Unfortunately so true ❤🙏🏻🕊
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
I knkw you want to sing and you lazy ❤️
Um hino absolutamente socialista. Exatamente o que estão querendo implantar com a Nova Ordem Mundial.
@@paulorogerioamarallyra3767 dude just stop give it a rest
🥺💞
Those hating these lyrics are who this song was written for.
Kevin's high notes hit me real hard
Summer Hare did you hear Avi's high note?
I have Avi's deep voice, high note and Mitch's high pitch voice
when mitch started walking, singing and writing etc i was like "i'd probably hurt myself multitasking like that"
same
Wenrene Seuljori Lacteal same tbh
Wenrene Seuljori Lacteal what the fuck is he wearing ?
lmao me
Im a grown man and this just made me cry. I was on a playlist and had to pause here. The most beautiful rendition of this song ever.
Their version of this song always brings tears to my eyes
I love Mitch's voice so much it hurts
Charla Painter this is RUclips, not Twitter 😄
Aria Caith Same!! His voice brings instant tears to my eyes!!
I think avis voice hurts more
Avi's solo parts give me life.
It's what wakes me up every morning.
i honestly love them all but Mitch is my favorite
mary primrose mitch is really amazing. They all are.
they are so amazing and i love them all so much but Mitch is my favorite, i swear he is an angel
Bad thing Avi is gone
If I could, I’d be giving you all a standing ovation. OMG - Sitting here with tears streaming down my face.
Being a big big Beatles fan, I never ever thought I would say this…your voices and especially the video have improved the importance of this song. The tears started when Mitch started the “sign/card” part. I was so touched and proud. Thank each of you for being true to yourself. Also I kinda like how you all sing 😁😁.
I’m in awe of your talent.
Love love love this. Thank you PTX..from this hypnotist/ nurse. You are mesmerizing!!!
When John Lennon wrote this song it was so misunderstood. Pentatonix cleared up any confusion with their version/video. I too think Lennon would be very proud of their rendition. Every time they get to the 'live as one' part I get goosebumps & start crying. Bravo, Pentatonix, Multi Bravo!
Ikr? Their harmonies are superb! Definitely hits you in the "sweet spot" of your emotions! Brilliant!
Velkommen
Absolutely beautiful . I’m missing John Lennon and George Harrison . I’m wishing for peace on earth and goodwill towards all. Thank you John for your vision and your talent. RIP.
Pentatonix have never truly spoken out about how diverse they are as a group and how well they work together. This is the perfect time for them to come out and share this amazing message. Gorgeous. I am very thankful we have them in the world today. They are honestly an iconic group.
Can I steal your words, s*s? Cause all of this is true.
Please! :D
I love you
Well Said
Someone actually said to me that the reason that they hate PTX is because of how politically correct they appear. They are just a mixture of the minority group and that is why they are so popular. It is safe to say that, the person got a serious tongue lashing from me.
Avi,
You probably will not see this, but I couldn't resist writing. Normally I'm not a singer but I became a bass in my school chorus after an audition. You have been a great inspiration and role model for me throughout the years I've been watching Pentatonix, and will continue to be one in the future. Thank you for the great memories.
Umut Yelbaşı he made me to be bass singer too
Umut Yelbaşı Mitch made me a Tenor.
I miss him sm
He inspires me to sing more
Saaame
As so many others have said, these five have shown us the way! They accept and love each other, no matter their differences, and have done for years! I guess perfect voices is not their only gift!
Unconditional Love
а ещё они педорыси
So powerful and so beautiful!! The message is still so relevant today! They bring out so many emotions that I cry every time I hear it. AMAZING!!
I tried to think of something profound but all I can think about is how it looks like Avi's beard is sparkling.
Jen Chaney this comment🖤👌🏻
Jen Chaney preach
You guys (Pentatonix) should totally make an "Evolution of Pentatonix" video. It would be so cool!!
They did, dear,
im pretty sure they havent but i think you're talking about the evolution of music/michael jackson/beyonce
Like a video that they run through all their songs/covers
OMG YASSS!!!
FabulousAlaina YES!! I commented this on one of their videos once but no one saw it 🤦🏻♀️😂 I'm so glad other people think this too!!
Here comes the chills and the tears. A group that only comes along once in a generation.
When the first sign came up .... I was amazed and in tears. Actually, when all the signs individually went up I lost it and my vision blurred. I can relate to the first sign LGBTQ+ because I was an ally turned part of the community when I finally realized who I was and all the memories from gender studies classes came flooding over me like a wave; remembering the history learnt from the Stonewall Riot and how LGBTQ+ is still the most under-represented minority groups in the world! Good on everyone representing their story. The ending letters definitely is an eye opener for those who continue to be blind towards the rest of the world....
Avi we'll miss you
Ary why? what's going on?
Ary he's leaving pentatonix. Only quadtonix🙁
Ary seriously ???
No he's not leaving. He's stepping back so he's not on the road all the time.
And if that belief makes me in denial, so be it. Pentatonix without Avi is simply not Pentatonix.
but on 7 July ago he still sang hallelujah with Pentatonix
I don't think anyone is giving Avi enough credit rn... his voice is stunning
A lot of us give Avi a lot of credit...but it's still hard to give him enough credit. :)
He is my fav :)
Mine too!
Ele é incrível! meu favorito
Erika Charleston Everyone is excepted equally. Everyone gets a chance to sing
This song came with clarity. Imagine living life in peace 😍❤️🥰
I got tears in my eyes. No matter how many times I listen to this, there's always goosebumps all over my body especially during the bridge(?) part where all of you harmonising so beautifully ❤ I will always love and appreciate pentatonix for making such masterpieces
As a die-hard Beatlemaniac, this just brings me to tears. John wrote this song as a message to humankind. And what hurts the most is that, he was singing for peace. He tried to relay a wonderful message and just wanted people to become one. Though it never happened. But Mitch, Scott, Avi, Kevin, Kirstie, thank you for bringing the meaning to us again. People need to think about this more.
Thank you. :)
I've waited for the day they would make a video acknowledging how incredibly representative and inclusive of a group they are.
They are incredible and inspirational for everyone out there.
Thank you PTX!
As a Jewish, LGBTQ+ Woman, do you know how hard it is to find a group that represents me? How hard it is to look at a group of musicians and say: "yes, when they imagine their fans, they will take the time to imagine someone like me."
I am important.
You are important.
We are all so special and deserve to have someone to look up to where we can see ourselves reflected and know that our aspirations aren't out of reach.
So I reiterate, THANK YOU PTX.
You put my thoughts in words :) A group as diverse and inclusive that can "harmonize" so well, is the best message to the world
Perfeito, simplesmente lindo!
I remember in the Sing Off, Season 3, (I watched the whole thing, not just PTX), there was one group that were all brothers and sisters. They were either the first or second group that were eliminated. They had some technique issues but one critique was that their vocals were too close, not enough contrast. I thought that was interesting at the time. WIthout a musical background, I would have thought having the same vocals would have been an advantage. But it's not. It is when different voices come together in various, interesting and new ways, that draws our attention, that is beautiful.
It's the same with people. Yes, people who look like us, act like us, believe the same thing as us can create harmony, but the swells, the chords are limited. We need differences to make our highs, higher and expand our range.
thuany692 you are amazing
I've watched this for hundreds of times and still can't hold back tears
All these years, all these Christmases hearing Pentatonix, and it took me THIS long to finally watch their videos. This one is my favorite, and maybe it's because of all the loss I've experienced, but it made me straight up cry. Coming out as a lesbian in 6th grade, experiencing all the sexism, misogyny, and just plain neglect. Having my virginity taken by a man, forever changed after holding onto my virginity for 30 years, never getting it back. It all comes rushing into my memories as I watch this. Thank you, Pentatonix. Thank you for this, for raising awareness to promote equality.
Mitch's voice just made my body melt.
Gusnaini Muzakkir I know the feeling!!, he's so amazing!!!!! 💘💖😄
Gusnaini Muzakkir he does that to me each and every time!!! 😍😝
Hyper Phiz I Know, Right?!
Gusnaini Muzakkir me tooooo
Tony Droid ew you're so rude
Okay, the vocals are beautiful and stunning, and I mean, it is pentatonix, they never miss a note.
But can we talk about the video and message for a second. While all members of PTX are proud of who they are, as a band they steer clear of anything controversial. They have a base of dedicated fans, but also of families across America. They tend to play on lighthearted themes and let their vocal talent propel them to the spotlight. And even if they wanted to send a message it would be hard to drill down on one theme due to their immensely varying beliefs and diversity.
In this video they not only show that they all have shared identities, and the overarching identity of "Human," but they also fulfill the message of the song. Despite their differing beliefs, even politically, they have no problems with each member's identity being prominently featured next to their own. They embody the widely held belief of togetherness and social cooperation. I guess what I'm trying to say is, as a long time fan, I'm so proud of them for doing this. The media and middle America is a scary thing to stand up against with a message, even slightly bordering on social commentary. But PTX knows what they have is something special, they have finally said it loud and clear. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.
Well said Anna Grace.
PTX's video cover of this song is both breathtaking and inspiring. Although we are a melting pot celebrating our differences...we are still united as one race...the HUMAN RACE. Peace is possible if we remember that tenet.
Thanks John Lennon, you are truly missed...RIP ✌🏽peace and 🤟🏽 love
Fantastic! Bless you all!❤
Yep, ad me to the list. I literally choked up watching this.
Why do we keep making simple *humanity* so effing hard?
They sound like angels❤️
I LOVE PENTATONIX!!
me too😍😍
They all have such a good voice.
exactly
this is PERFECT
KEVIN'S SOLO HAS ME IN TEARS
Redjh Sampang IKR!!!!!
Redjh Sampang I screamed as tears ran down my cheeks for the tenth time tbh
Yes he was going in with them high notes too!!
One of the most beautiful songs.
Great performance.
The message of this song is.....AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Wow. That brief moment of connection when Avi receives the card from Scott and then when he passes it to Kevin -- the way he looks at each of them and connects soul-to-soul -- so beautiful and moving.
Connie Sedona even thought he said thanks to Scott as he gave him the card. Aaaah
Woah...this was so powerful, especially at the end when they all flipped over the cards to reveal the one word that defines us all. "Human"
Kai Reese except me. im an attack helicopter
Matthew Lacey I love you
Kai Reese Im an unicorn so...

I was actually getting kind of upset that in a song about not segregating ourselves, they started to point out their differences. But then I got goosebumps at the end, when the point was actually that those things don't matter.
Thank you young ones for continuing the work. John would be honored. You all did this justice and more. I still cant hear this song though without remembering the day my band buddy Jenny ran by me in the hall at school with tears streaming down her face. John Lennon had been gunned down and the world suffered a tremendous loss. You all are perfect. Keep it up.
If such a diverse group can sound so beautiful with such a powerful message. Can't we all just love and respect one another?
I really wish we could...
I wish for that so much!
tears in my cereal

Then see yourself again "Mary, did you know"
Maybe one of the most powerful videos I have seen...BEAUTIFUL
Imagine Avi coming back... it isn't hard to do...

What a gift you all are! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents with us.
This is the best performance of Imagine I watched. It is very heartwarming!
3:37 *Is no one gonna talk about Kevin’s vocals? 👀*
forget just that part, he slays the E N T I R E S O N G
Do you want to hear more of Kevin's vocal talent? Check out his RUclips channel...ruclips.net/user/kolusolafeatured
The add lib stuff kinda killed it for me. Everything else was touching
Avi's voice, Kevin's voice, the harmony, the SIGNS, just everything made me tear up oh my gosh. I never realized how diverse and individual each member of PTX is and it makes me so happy to see how much of an impact their music and music in general can be. I want to do stuff like that. Just amazing.
6x7 Lol
6x7 wtf
Victoria Confusione wtf you doing talking like that, you're eleven years old. Go to sleep you have school in the morning
Actually, I'm gonna side with Victoria Confusione on this one. I don't appreciate you mocking my attempt at an emotional, cathartic comment about a work of art. What I meant to say was that the group makes their differences so seamless through their image and music that one doesn't think of what they are and instead focuses on what they do. The signs may seem redundant as it states their labels, but the labels are not the first things I think of when I think PTX. The fact that they were uniting under similar labels, labels one doesn't ponder in a group like that, made me tear up because they were uniting under a beautiful world of commonalities. Hope this cleared it up and please respect my opinions, Victoria's opinions, and anyone else's opinions and be wary of what you say and how you say it. We want to shape the Earth into a beautiful one, after all.
Sarah Koo Sarah Koo screw you and your "cathartic" moment. Imbeciles fawning over this trite karaoke-esk bullshit.
This is the best version of Imagine I can remember hearing. Their voices are unbelievable and the way they arrange and blend everything just makes it even better.
(I was surprised that Kevin and Scott are taller than Avi. For some reason, I thought he was hella tall, like 6’3 or 6’4 maybe.)
Correct
Maybe we ALL should listen to this song everyday!!! Maybe we ALL should try to stop thinking in stereotypes and start seeing others just like humans and forget about religion, party or race. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
WHY IS THAT SOOOO HARD???
Okay like if you really want Pentatonix to do a Queen medley because I do. And that would be amazing.
Oh my gosh really?! That's so exciting!
I have too now!
Crafty Cat ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING I WAS JUST SHITTING MY PANTS THIBKING ABOUT THEM COVERING THAT SONG THE OTHER SONG YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING IM CRYING
why do you talk to yourself
aha i think the person i was talking to deleted their comments for some reason, i swear I'm not crazy 😂
Everyone is freaking out. This song is about trying to see people as who they are not their sexuality, gender, race or religion. Its looking past that and understanding them. Its about not hating someone for those things. Its about not caring about their religion and realising it doesnt change your life in any way. Most wars if not all have started because of a religious debate, this is talking about stopping those wars and trying to accept each others differences and continue living.

I love this
Tia Leung Sorry I had too
I agree with you but what's your point?
If you read its showing my point. That the people in these comments arent seeing the picture they are trying to paint. Everyone is still stuck up on the lables.
This brought me to tears. Such a beautiful song, such an amazing performance.
You know what??? I am pretty sure that John Lennon is very proud of your version. Way to go Pentatonix!!!!
