1. Madonna can't sing
She comes nowhere near a "rendition" of Lennon's masterwork.

3. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. I had to go clean my ears...
out with Drano after hearing Madonna do, whatever it is she does with her voice, to "Imagine."

13. It was for a good cause, and my vote goes to Lennon
The song is about 1/2 octave to low for her voice. They should have done it in another key. Even then, Imagine by Lennon is about the best rock song ever, and nobody will do a better job than Lennon.

14. i'm sorry, but imagine sucks.
most over-rated song in history.

i love seeing the "all one" bumper stickers. it's like saying "my entire political philosophy is summed up in a pop song."
