Ever since John Lennon sang his inspirational song Imagine, singers have tried to capture the powerfulness that he had when sang those words and in my opinion no one has. That was until last night when the Fox’s Glee did a version of it with a deaf glee club. Not since Lennon has any renditions of it brought tears to my eyes and no matter how many times I have watched it (I’ve lost count) I still get teary eyed. Just the powerfulness of a group of singers signing the words to the song with the compassion of Lennon’s voice was enough but when Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Artie (Kevin McHale) toned down their normal singing levels and joined them my cold heart melted. Minus Rachel (Lea Michelle) everyone brought down their vocals to match those signing and it just made the song so much more emotional. I am still blown away what an amazing job the show did with it, that I had to share it with y’all.
When it comes to things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, Glee is one of them!!!
god… that was so hokey I had to fast forward through it.
It would have been better if they’d all had tried singing it in that dumb ‘deaf’ voice they all use. At least then it woulda been funny.
