Gal Gadot leads star-studded cover of John Lennon’s Imagine

Elton John, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Kate Winslet, and Jude Law have joined forces to salute Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) doctors and nurses on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis in a new YouTube video.

Imagine that! On Wednesday, John Mayer joined Andy Cohen, who recently announced he has recovered from coronavirus, for an at-home version of Watch What Happens Live and caught up with his old buddy via video chat.

A week and a half ago, actress Gal Gadot posted an Instagram video of her and some famous friends earnestly singing a cover of “Imagine” – and it promptly got destroyed by the Internet. While intended to uplift fans during the coronavirus crisis, most viewers just saw a bunch of tone-deaf wealthy stars (literally and figuratively) with no idea of what it’s like to be truly struggling right now.

John Lennon's iconic 1971 ballad "Imagine" returns to Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart dated March 28, sparked by a celebrity-helmed cover during the global coronavirus pandemic."Imagine" re-enters the tally at No. 15, surging by 7% to 1.3 million U.S.

Wonder Woman 1984 has become the latest film to have its release date postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

If you are under the illusion that the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting self-quarantine will lead to great art, Gal Gadot is here to set you right. Last night, the Wonder Woman actress shared an Instagram video driven by a combination of a looming sense of mortality driven by the crisis and a patronizing urge for unity driven by a viral video of a trumpeter in Italy.

During these tumultuous times, everyone is looking for a form of escape. But a host of celebrities found out that empty gestures of inspiration aren’t exactly what the public had in mind after a cameo-filled cover of John Lennon’s famous anthem, “Imagine,” was roundly criticized across the internet.

Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth has covered “Isolation” from John Lennon’s debut solo album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. All proceeds go to the Recording Academy and MusiCares’ new COVID-19 Relief Fund. Listen below.

In this week’s edition of celebrities who remain completely out of touch with reality, we present Gal Gadot’s “Imagine” celebrity coronavirus cover. If you haven’t seen the video in question by now, well, just listen to the Twitterverse’s warning before you dive in: it’s “cringey.” A not so wonderful result for the Wonder Woman star.

Just call her Blunder Woman.

Now that self isolating and is a thing, people have a lot more time on their hands. (I, for one, will be trying to develop a personality and an actual hobby these next few weeks.) Since celebrities aren't out doing all the Hollywood stuff they normally do, they've been way to try to save themselves from absolute boredom. Unfortunately in Gal Gadot's case, Twitter is fully roasting her for recording a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" with her celeb friends.

In a bid to lift spirits in the middle of the current health crisis we are facing, celebrities are coming together for a once-off cover of John Lennon’s Imagine.
