Gabriel Barrera Jorcin thats not how it works. But alright. They were all singing out of each other’s keys and that’s why you can hear Charles changing the key so much
Now that was impressive. The original was painfull. This actually sounds like a song. I do not like it, but I do respect the amount of work done. Well done !! Well done !!
Brendan Casey I’m not trying to discredit you because he certainly blended them all well, but this song is in many many different keys, just compiled into a cohesive song with effective transitions to make the key changes sound natural (and sometimes jazzy!)
I TOTALLY appreciate it! What's amazing is how flawlessly he does it so most people won't eve n notice. I particularly love when it modulates within one line :-)
Perhaps they found out that he was going to fix their shit and sent assassins to kill him if he tried to humiliate them (as if he could do it like they did themselves). Also, so cringe.
I just searched up the original. Jeez dude, you are amazing. Turning that tone-deaf dumpster fire into a cohesive, well timed, actually pleasant song had to require *so* much work
Seems like just yesterday this video came out. And watching it now gives me this weird feeling of going back in time. All of a sudden I’m a sophomore in college instead of about to graduate. This is so cathartic. Thanks, Charles. Amazing job.
Veggies you’re right, they’re not the richest. My mistake. I’ll fix that. Sung by the 1%, big time actors who make hundreds of thousands if not millions every year. Better?
Nah he's doing less for the people who aren't trying so that he doesn't cover them up. The better singers can take a fuller accompaniment so he can have more fun with them

I reckon the timing and constant tempo he has in a song where tempo is more of a concept than something actually happing is really good on his part, I’ve been drumming for a few years and he can still swing better than I can so I’ll give it to him 😂

You’ve actually made it sound so much better ! You can’t polish a turd but you have surely rolled it in glitter!! ✨
I think you've hit the nail right on the head with that analogy 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am so stealing this phrase. I just about had a fukkin asthma attack laughing at this.
I was so relieved when there was finally two clips in a row that were in the same key. I think you invented a new kind of cadence.
Bro this comment is so underrated omg 😂😂
Unperfect

more appropriate title: "imagine sung by celebrities but actually good"
It's still "imagine" so I guess not.
@@trinidad17 it's still not good. it's funny tho
the off key singing hurts to listen to
OMG your face at 1:26 when she went super sharp like "omg should I abruptly change keys again or will this sort itself out?!" made me die laughing LOLOLOL
Missed opportunity: "Celebrities singing but Imagine there's a whole band"
What was the title. It is now that.
@@benjaminwilkin2960 no its not the title is celebrities singing imagine but theres a whole band
he wanted it to be celebrities singing but imagine theres a whole band
the point is that the band is imaginary because the original video didnt have the band and the song is called imagine
@@ScottishRebel ok
Benjamin Wilkin it was something totally different i forgot what it was but it wasn’t that lol.
I had to read this like 5 times
I’m a little disappointed you didn’t cut to John Mayer singing imagine by Ariana Grande and just completely change everything for a second.
I was thinking the same! Ahah
I made a parody ruclips.net/video/DHpDHkzJ75s/видео.html
I was singing Ariana the whole time.. Oop
I just want to say it was super satisfying seeing the likes at 999 and clicking it to 1K XD

drinking game: take a shot every time the key changes
alcohol poisoning, here i come!
you want me to DIE?!?!?!
Ella just tried to do this and I started choking 45 seconds in
oops and now im dead
This drinking game is doable...
The trick is to..
Not die.
This was beyond gorgeous.
I applaud ur skills.
U accommodated ppl who cudnt sing and yet you managed to make awesome music.
Man ur a genius..
He always talks about he’s bad at drums but as a young drummer he’s actually really good and it makes me mad that he talks himself down like that. He deserves the world. He inspires me a lot
This isn't exactly hard music to play on the drums though. I'm far from a drummer, I suck at drums, but I feel like I'd be able to play this.
@@xXLoonoeXx the free timing is pretty tricky. There's a bit of a weird sway so you can't play to a metronome. But overall it's not too bad I guess.
@@xXLoonoeXx yeah I'm a drummer the only hard bit would be the fills (for a drummer)
I reckon the timing and constant tempo he has in a song where tempo is more of a concept than something actually happing is really good on his part, I’ve been drumming for a few years and he can still swing better than I can so I’ll give it to him 😂
@@ehsbe1056 lmao
More like “Imagine all the keys” 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine all the keybumps
That's just giant steps
Damn why did this actually bring me the kind of peace that was originally intended?
Despite the fact that the original made me feel the OPPOSITE OF PEACE
Opposite of peace, starring Ronald McDonald, Cher, Henry VIII, and the entire Boston Redsocks.

Because humble people with real talent can actually induce that feeling in people! Unlike materialistic celebrities
It's the Charles effect
@@Sparrowash97 I mean, generally people are celebrities because they're very talented at something...
@@Sparrowash97 These people don't have talent?
1:15 I literally got chills
Celebrities: we saved you by singing in many different keys and not donating to make a difference. On the other hand u actually saved us by making their video a lot more tolerable
every effort counts, just by staying at home, you could save thousands of lives. y'all just begging for money like beggars out of jealousy. you never know what they might be doing behind the camera to help out those affected by the corona virus. you judged them just by one video. shame on you. shame on you. there was a time they started out with zero and now you demand them to "donate" their hard earned money ? stop blowing things out of proportion and stop spreading hate messages.
How could you prove they didn't donate anything? I'd like to see your proof.
@@MrSuzuki17 right but I'm sure most of them came from middle class families. There are so many glass ceilings in place that make it incredibly hard to move up the classes. The amount of money they make is disgusting when the vast majority of us can barely afford to live.
@@bry7487 true. the difference between a B class celeb and an A class celeb is a $100,000 training class session plus $100,000 plastic surgery maybe
@@bry7487 no FAM a lot if these celebs worked their ass of to get where they are. I dont know where you got this fake news from but u need to stop whining like a spoiled child and grow up bro
Rich celebrities singing: "Imagine no possessions"
Me sitting in my home without toliet paper: I don't have to imagine.
This is truly the “underrated” comment
water will save your bum... i mean life
Famous doesn't mean rich.

Gal Gadot’s self-satisfied smile at the end like “you’re welcome”.
I wonder what her reaction and the other celebrities reactions were when the news broke that this did not go over well. *LMAO*
At least now we know who among them are the overachievers
Well Sarah Silverman at least had the self awareness to take part in the parody.
@@matthewsmith3078 I’d say if she actually had self awareness she wouldn’t have done it at all…
@@matthewsmith3078 Sarah Silverman was radiating "I'll make a fool of myself singing drunk karaoke in public because it's my best friend's birthday" energy
@@myrealname8767 She probably thought it would be funny.
This was so good. I'm so glad you get to make these videos for a living, this was so cool to watch. So talented
