Gal Gadot’s celeb-packed ‘Imagine’ cover spawns outrage
New York Post ^

Just call her Blunder Woman.

Gal Gadot’s attempt to cheer up coronavirus isolationists with a celeb-studded cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” backfired after Twitter users wondered why they couldn’t send money instead.

“We’re all in this together,” says the “Wonder Woman” star, 34, at the start of the viral video posted Wednesday to her 38.6-million-fan Instagram page.

The 3-minute clip then cuts to a montage of Gadot, Mark Ruffalo, Will Ferrell and other Hollywood elites singing different lyrics to the late Beatle star’s opus, which envisions a world without strife.

“Imagine there’s no heaven,” croons Gadot, seemingly wearing little or no makeup and prompting “Saturday Night Live” alumn Kristen Wiig to follow with, “It’s easy if you try.”

The former Miss Israel 2004 winner says the video, reportedly recorded on day six of her own quarantine, was inspired by a clip of a saxophone player in Italy performing “Imagine” from his balcony. But her musical morale boost rang hollow with the social media masses, who labeled the video “cringe” and “out of touch.”

I watched it. Not impressed, but hardly outraged.

Privileged clueless celebrities - even their fans are barfing over the out of touch stupidity.

I have always hated Imagine, even mores when the left adopted it for use on almost every supposedly solemn occasion. And two, I am extremely disappointed in Gal Gadot. I hope she fires her agent.

No worries. I have loathed that song since it first appeared. Of course I’ve been informed I’m incorrectly interpreting it. Oh well, I still can’t stand it. And, thanks for the warning. :-)

I generally find Gadot attractive, but her face looked so bloated in the video, I honestly thought it was Ashley Judd at first.

I hate that song. Basically an ode to the USSR.

I thought she had more sense than the rest of these worthless celebutards, but apparently not.

Only the most shallow and vapid of people think that engaging in hashtag activism accomplishes something.

“Imagine” is nothing short of the euroweenie-atheist national anthem.

People should be singing instead:

“In times like these
We need a Savior
In times like these
We need an anchor.
Be very sure, be very sure
Your Anchor holds
And grips The Solid Rock.”

Celebrities do charity “things” as self promotion that they write off their taxes.

Nobody says anything good about Hell, but I hear the band is HOT.

Ruffalo? Ferrell?

F’em. They hate the world and are probably secretly happy because planet Gaia will now be saved.

“Imagine” is very unimaginative.

“I have always hated Imagine”

ditto ... ghastly and barf-inducing ...feel the same way about the Plastic Ono Band and all of their garbage music ... just utter crap after everything the Beatles did as far as i’m concerned ... there should be a special place in Hell for Yoko Ono, her and Meghan Markle and Sondra Locke and all the other talentless hack females who latched upon perfectly good men with talent and turned them into pathetic eunuchs ...

Can't we all just do the Macarena...at a socially appropriate distance of course.
