Celebrities Sing 'Imagine' in Olympics Opening Ceremony

A giant rotating Earth made of drones appeared over Olympic Stadium as John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Imagine" played during the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony, and while it's a timeless anthem for peace, the rendition did not sit well with fans.

Over a year ago, celebrities created a moving montage of the song while in quarantine. Gal Gadot shared the video on her social media, which featured 25 celebrities singing the cover. Among those included were former "Saturday Night Live" cast members, Maya Rudolph and Will Ferrell, and stars like Leslie Odom Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Fallon and Sia.
