This is an experience I´ll never forget! I´m so happy I had the opportunity to do this, and that I get to share it with you guys!
and i have been your forever fan since your audition on AGT. you are a magnificent singer and songwriter and the best vocals out there ‼ ... Suz
Probably listened to this at least a half a dozen times and the passion always carries me away. Never gets old! You'll have to excuse me while I go off to relive some of your other tunes. Always a treat on a Friday afternoon when the week is done!
This Audition was the first time I'd ever heard your name. I was hooked from the guitar intro as that's one of my favorite songs in the world. I am a faithful follower and I eagerly await your name to go up in big lights all over the globe like you were born to do it. ~eagerly awaiting the next release...
~your song / Something like me - is my new #1 favorite song of all time.. It Wreaks of everything I'd love to tell all the people that have stood over me and in judgement of me across my 54 years. Kudos Chris!
I like your imagine!
The only "imagine" i love.
I believe this was a golden buzzer performance..
I've played this video more than 50 times, but why do I still get goosebumps when I hear it?
me too
me too
This was golden buzzer performance 🤯
No doubt. But I guess they had exhausted their golden buzzers
whenever i go back and listen to his audition, Chris still manages to give me goosebumps. must have listened to it a million times and i never get tired of it.
One million times
Me too!!!
I totally agree
Same man
100% agree
This song hits different when there is a war raging in Ukraine 😔 Awesome voice and audition & my prayers to all brave Ukrainian soldiers and all the citizens 🙏🇺🇦
Yes exactly hopefully the powers that be have the fortitude to stop that bs . Weapons of mass destruction should be destroyed and be made illegal worldwide . We need governments that understand that and enforce that . Im sure we can find a solution .
@@rickkill9323 True that my friend. I am serving in the army aswell and we are getting prepared to be deployed probably in couple days... weapons of mass destruction are the worst kind of weapon aswell as being the choice of cowards
@divyanshu bhandari ?
I was just thinking about this ):
Phuck Putin
@@jakobstrand4916 Yes bro 😔
You deserved the golden buzzer for that performance. Amazing brother.
2 years later and I still come back to watch this. Incredible
Arguably the best audition in the history of agt
Not arguably. The best period
Agree
personally thjis is my 2nd best Kodi lee's is still beautiful
How was this not a golden buzzer
@Hedlund thanks for the info though! Had no clue he won the Sweedish version of the show
I personally think you should have gotten the golden buzzer. That was amazing and moving. Smash that like button if you agree.
He's white so no chance he's lucky to go through
He is a good singer no? "lucky"
@@probablecausetocheckhard-drive you're cringe
@@probablecausetocheckhard-drive Seems kinda racist to me
He didnt had a sad story, and thats the only reason he didnt get the golden buzzer
He would have gotten a golden buzzer from me before the judges even had a chance to say anything. His vocal control and range is crazy
When he starts Imagine I would have buzzed right there and then before he even completes a single word
Que bien canta ni una desafinación ❤
that deserved golden buzzer
I like to come back every so often to this. One of the best AGT auditions ever!
LOLLLLL me too🤣
same
Same man, same
Yes especially how this world is going these days.
Same fella. Pure class!!
One of the best covers of Imagine, if even not the best.
Better than the original IMO
would have to disagree with you.
This is the best, 'A perfect circle - imagine'
I don’t see how you could improve on this version. It’s subtle where it needs to be and powerful in a way the original lacked. Love the original too but I do prefer the heaviness to this version.
@@briggs5569 um no. Im a metal head first and foremost and I love metal covers and I love tool. But that version is honestly pretty trash. It doesn’t have the soul of the original nor the dynamics of Chris’s. Whole heartedly disagree. But it is music so whatever floats your boat I guess
I would say that pentatonix' cover is better, but they are a group of five extremely talented vocalists so it's not really a fair comparison. Chris has some serious skill
Years later and I still find myself coming back to this and I still find myself blown away by his voice and I still get goosebumps all over. My god I love his rendition of this classic song.
Couldn't agree more, I like it more than the original, maybe that's just me but what a voice this guy has 😍
His voice is so good! Love this audition!
The best
A viking singing sofftly 😊like it
Best performance in that AGT year.He clearly deserved a golden buzzer
Yahh i. Agree with you
@Luke Younts it's always the ones with a sad backstory or are kids who wins so not too surprising.
@Luke Younts It's cool. He'd already won the Swedish version of the show by this point. The fact that Cowell "guessed" he was a singer was bullcrap as he'd have been very aware of Klaffords success by this point.
Not taking away that this was a beautiful rendition but the show made him out to be a brand new singer that hadn't done it before and it's not the case.
Ohhhh yes !!!!!!!!he deserved
Dude has like 4 different voices in the same song, this is freaking insane.
th-cam.com/video/wk3a0GFJYt4/w-d-xo.html
Black Hitler??? XD
Agreed !!!
@@gitsurfer27I was so confused by your comment until I looked at the photo
@@latenightbreakdowns2107 I feel like we're the only ones addressing this phenomenon
I just found you. You have made me feel like no one since John Lennon. This is nothing like I have experienced since him. Thank you!!
Holy...that was professional level, amazing. Havent watched in years but Im going to go watch what this girl did.
If this isn't worthy of a golden buzzer i don't know what is. Amazing Performance
He didn't have a sob story
@@Kn1ghtHawk99 and wasn’t part of any group
I mean it is just show off xdd it is so plastic and fake
Yeah is this the show that uses the golden buzzer?
Så klart, så rätt. Det är min gubbe
One of the best voices I've heard in my life, and I'm 63. Not a dry eye in the house. Should of got 4 golden buzzers.
100%
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?
Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

Same with me and Agreed
I am younger and I am 100% with you. Amazing.
Every time I come across this video it brings tears to my eyes.
Hard to find a better audition. Makes me cry every time, in a good way.
kodi lee is up there for auditions. along with angelica hale.
This version is beyond anything I've ever heard. The heart, the soul, that appeals to everyone who understands humility. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your songs. Stay blessed.
WATCH PASTORS PERSPECTIVE FEBRUARY 23, 2021 You Will SMILE 😀❤️
And he didn’t win AGT. By far the most memorable performer I’ve seen on the show and they gave it to a church choir… so sad how Americans value talent based on outside factors.
This version is next level
Chris Cornell
I wish his iTunes version sounded like this one tbh. So amazing. iTunes one not as good as this unfortunately.
This was a golden buzzer worthy audition.
No sad story
@@wendywatch3386 Sad story is that he lived in village only with members of his family without friend and lately girlfriends:)
@@podporazappercentrumcr2380sad but not golden button worthy.
@@wendywatch3386 literally everyone stood up and clapped, how is it not golden buzzer worthy?
@@kurtismoore5501 if every time people stood up and applause it's a golden button. So we should have had a thousand golden button than
This deserved a golden buzzer.
This guy is my twin, from a different place, tiime, and circumstance. I can even carry those notes. Love it.
Not to mention the look. I no longer have the long hair or beard, but there's some doppelganger stuff going on.
my father showed me this the day before he passed and i keep coming back to this because it makes me happy to see someone doing what they want and the happiness it brings!
wish he in heaven like my father too🙏🏻
Your father is with you.. pray
💔
@Mr.Chubbz420. I hope you're doing okay
@@RM4743 i appreciate that! i am hanging in there!
Chris brought tears to my eyes...Fantastic rendition of John Lennon's song....Wow!
same bro, this is an amazing cover ❤
@@VillaIrwin hmmm
Such a big song to take on, and he performs it beautifully. I love it.
yeah
th-cam.com/video/wk3a0GFJYt4/w-d-xo.html
This is the best audition of history. I have not words to describe it. Everything is simply perfect
listening to this again because the vocals have stuck with me for so long, and in addition to the astonishing vocals, I'm absolutely LOVING the guitar work. Such a perfect performance.
The guitar work was exquisite?
His voice and the song makes one feel to be a good person .....
It's a mostly rare occasion when a covering artist does a song in such a way that the audience at large would call it "better than the original"...This was/is such a case. When I heard this rendition the first time, I went through a very bad patch in my life. I'm not out of the woods yet, but this moves me tears every time. My wife has been instructed that this song will be played at my funeral...THIS cover!
that was really good but please there just cant be a better version than lennon's
@@tanishqrawat9559 That's the wonderful thing about opions. That's your opion and my opinion is mine. We don't have to like it or subscribe to it, but only respect the other person's point of view.
@@tanishqrawat9559 if you heard both versions for the first time not knowing who made it, Im pretty sure a big majority would pick this. Nostalgia is a tricky thing 🙂
Agreed! The style of upper level
It`s actually not that rare. And it is on full display on youtube. It`s always easier to improve on something existing than to create something new. That`s especially true for writing of all kinds (music, lyrics, books, poems). And not all writers were good singers. They did the foundation and better singers build on it. Happens all the time.
The only reason this might be somewhat perceived as rare is that most people prefer the version they are used to.
This resonates with 99% of us, no matter where you are in the world. Hang in there folks, we will turn this around, today, tomorrow, or the next…… We will overcome👍
The best cover version of this song ever,,what a voice, what a tone,,straight to the heart strings, absolutely haunting, wow,!,amazing 👏👏👏😀😀😢😢,John Martin Sydn Australia 🇦🇺
I’ve watched the audition countless times, still gives me goosebumps… what a chill voice
This man should have been given the gold!!
Amazing & epic voice!!
You have great taste. This mans voice will make angels cry. He is a star!
John Lennon would definitely approve of this rendition of his timeless classic 😊👍
Hello, how are you doing, hope your staying safe?
Outstanding , i assume the golden buzzer had already been used for that week because this performance deserved it .
Incredible performance!!💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏
He deserved the golden buzzer more than anyone
To be honest, he deserved the Golden buzzer
This beautiful artist deserved a golden buzzer. BIG UP!
i always come back to this audition every few months. I feel so complete after listening to his beautiful voice.
I've watched this so many times and every time is just as great as the the last. Great performance.👍
Thank you so much!
Even if I had talent near yours, I still wouldn't have had your level of courage, to go in front of all those people and cameras. So I say Thank You for sharing your gift with the world. And I Know I'm Not The Only One.
Same
Ne prend pas de cours si ont te propose,car après ça ne ressemble pas à ce qu´ont a entendu bravo
You can listen to this forever, I have already lost count of how many times I listened to it.
Big, fat, beautiful, tears. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
この人の歌声は言語、国境を超えて心を揺るがす
こんなに心を奪われたイマジンはない
最高に感動した
ありがとうございます
Agree!
In times like these we need artists like him
Hearing this man sing “Imagine” was almost like hearing it for the first time. Beautiful.
Beautiful rendition of an amazing song!
I dont think a day can pass without watching this five times at once,it was great Audition i will remember my whole life.
Chris this is an experience we all will not forget! July 2022 and I'm still coming back for this beautiful rendition
Best interpretation of Imagine I ever heard.
Not only the voice but that 🎸GUITAR spin that Chris is playing in the background against the National Anthem needs to be ALSO acknowledged!! What a rendition OMG!!
What a beautiful voice!!!
If I were a judge I would give this man a golden buzzer good job 👍
This is very beautyfull done really one of kind.Greetings from belgium
🥰❤️❤️❤️ I absolutely LOVE this version!!! Thank you for sharing your talent ❤️❤️❤️
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this video. It is just addicting and I am at a loss of words its incredible
If only the world would stop and listen. Thank you sir for this!
Beautiful. Well done. 👏🏾
You brought me to tears. I love your voice and how you sang this song so soulfully. ❤
One of the purest forms of musical interpretation I've ever heard on the show. Your rendition of this legendary song will stay with me for a long time. Thank you.
This and cornells version. Best 2
Man, I've been listening to your acoustic version of this song over and over and over again, especially whenever I'm feeling down. Your voice and this version of the song really calm me down. It raises my motivation to get back on track in the toughest time. I really can't thank you enough Chris.
Samson, thank you for sharing that
Your comment is absolutely right. I can listen to over and over again.
I wish i could like this performance everytime I come back to watch, but only one like 🙄 this song is so addictive! Makes me feel good everytime, One of the best auditions ever 🥰
I found this audition and I have it on repeat! This was absolutely beautiful!❤❤ wat a awesome soul!
This cover still gives me chills. Chris you killed it🔥🔥
Powerful and gentle at the same time. That is exactly what we need right now
The fact that he knows exactly what he’s voice is capable of and that he trained it is just beautiful
The great John Lennon.
You will never be forgotten. World misses you. Singing in heaven.
GOD BLESS YOU.
❤❤❤❤
I never get sick of hearing him sing that.. awesome job!
this guy could sing me the phone book. what a beautifully mesmerizing voice.
Beautiful !!
Awesome 👏🏻 thank you for this
I have to keep coming back to this every few months or so it's too good not to. Still gets me teary everytime I watch it. Such an amazing voice Chris.
I've played this over and over again ,never felt a performance that's this deep.
Can’t even count how many times I have listened to Chris! Brilliant, brilliant audition! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 performance!
I listened to him singing "imagine" so often and still can't believe how he isn't more famous. This is Art, his voice is pure poetry. Amazes me every time.
I agree with you, he has a very pure voice, he should have become much more famous
This video has 46 million views. I think that is pretty famous.
I can't begin to tell you how blessed I was the day I discovered your amazing talent. You are truly gifted and I really enjoy hearing you sing. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world!
Every time i watch this audition my heart aches , he deserved a golden buzzer
I have to say this is literally the first time I absolutely loved this song 1000 percent. Great job.
My great great great grandchildren will be old but IMAGINE will still be a hit.
Thanks to this audition I started to listen to you and your songs! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
This performance was just stunning which gave emotional calmness and peace.
I liked the original version okay but this…just WOW! It actually brought tears to my eyes. What an absolutely amazing talent!
A true artist doesn't need perfect pitch or magnificent ability to play an instrument. A true artist is one that pulls emotion out of every member of the audience. Mr. Klafford, you are a true artist.
AND... he has perfectly applied pitch and all of the ability, so... yeah.
Should've definitely got a golden buzzer for this!!! What a voice!!
I have seen this video so many times. It's always incredibly fantastic.
This version is just too smooth! Love it love it love it
Taking a classic song like this and making it your own is the sign of a true artist
Wow, one of the amazing performances of this song, a humble man and an insanely talented singer.
keep coming back to listen to this
SO happy for you with this audition and your other performances. GREAT job be happy for yourself and ALL 4 judges stood up at once the same time. That is how good it was.
All four judges and however many thousand people in the audience. I felt the need to stand and applause at home.
Fair to say he captivated everyone's heart ...
This is the best version of this song I’ve ever heard! I prefer it to original. Well done buddy 👍
I agree and I cried and I don’t know why.
Totally agree! 👍👍
@@Brucemcleod2345 me too!!
I agree
I agree Lee.
What a talent ❤
I keep coming to watch and I am glad I did ❤
His TH-cam covers are crazy SO HAPPY HE AUDITIONED
I got to tell you I'm at depression cliffs and I heard this song brother gives me hope
@@jimmorgan3556 there's always hope Jim, sometimes it's all we've got but we've still always got it. Take care pal
I can honestly say that I have NEVER enjoyed a rendition of a classic in my life, but this, my man you are so incredibly talented. I can now say that you are an absolute magician in the world of music and this is a rendition and a personal version that I will never forget
