Makes you appreciate Katy's live vocals, doesn't it?

It's the only reason I don't like Yoko. I can't stand her voice but I like her music and not just because John helped with some of it

I could only stomach Walking on Thin Ice as far as that goes.

I really like that song musically actually. Vocally it's not absolutely terrible either.

"Yoko" and "sing" shouldn't be in the same sentence... lol

I swear, if there wasn't a video and I was listening to the audio only, I would have thought it was Katy Perry.shrug

Don't remind me. The funny thing is, the album was finished. He wanted to go back and finish, "Walking On Thin Ice", for Yoko. If he had just stayed home, he would have been alive today.

It would have happened sooner or later

Mr. "I don't need bodyguards" should've thought about his safety instead of letting any crazy loon come up to him. [in John's accent]"This ain't the Beatles via 1964 you know?"[/in John's accent]

These parodies are everywhere lol

They where funny at first... now it's becoming like the ''shit so & so says'' videos.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

She has some incredible work. When she does the avant garde "vocalizations" in like in this video, it's hard to listen to. But her more "traditional" work is often quite brilliant. She's had some amazingly powerful material, and I respect her as an artist a great deal. She's also had a string of #1 singles on the Dance charts over the last decade. She's fearless, always have been. I'd listen to her any day of the week over Katy Perry or most anybody else on the pop charts. Folks hear clips like this and think they understand what Yoko is all about, and she's easy to hate because folks think she broke up the Beatles.

Fuck 'em. She doesn't care, and neither do her fans and admirers. The hatred and disdain only makes our appreciation stronger.

My thoughts exactly.

I love Double Fantasy. It's one of my fav albums, but I just can't take this woman's voice. It's awful and ruins most songs.
