Joe Rogan Disses Gal Gadot For "Imagine" Sing-Along

Gal Gadot led a celebrity-filled sing-along of John Lennon's classic song "Imagine" but Joe Rogan thinks the execution was a little tone-deaf.

Joe Rogan will always speak his mind. It doesn't matter if his opinion may be deemed "controversial." The world-renowned comedian and podcaster is one of the most confident thinkers in pop culture, constantly commenting on all that is wrong (and right) in the world. This week, he invited fellow funnyman Tom Segura onto his show and, of course, the two got to speaking about the current climate of the world. In such, they discussed the star-studded sing-along that Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot arranged with some of her most famous celebrity friends. Needless to say, they were not fans.

"This is not the time when everyone's grammy is dying, you fucking idiot, to sing, 'Imagine there's no heaven,'" said Joe Rogan, referring to Gal Gadot's rendition of the classic John Lennon song. The video included everyone from Will Ferrell, Zoe Kravitz, Natalie Portman, and more. 

"And it's a terrible version. You guys suck at singing. Why are you even singing publicly?" asked the comedian. Tom Segura seems to agree with everything the host was saying, stating how accomplished the celebrities appeared at the end of it, as though they had just saved the world.

What did you think about the "Imagine" sing-along? Did it give you hope or did you find it cringe-worthy like Joe Rogan?

Zack Fox posted a video on Instagram, Friday, saying "There’s a song from my childhood that would always help me out when I would feel that way, and I wanna share it with y’all, and hopefully just help out a little bit. It goes a little something like this.” Fox then precedes to comedically sing Three 6 Mafia’s classic “Slob On My Nob.” Eric Andre, Thundercat, Quinta Brunson, Guapdad 4000, Cool Kids’ Chuck Inglish, Langston Kerman, Jak Knight, Sam Jay, 6lack, Teddy Ray and TisaKorean all join in.

Ariana graced the stage to perform "Imagine," "Thank U, Next," and "7 Rings." Her beloved song "Thank U, Next" was released after her break up with Pete Davidson following the couple's engagement. The lyrical content touched on being thankful for all her exes since they taught her something valuable for her single life going forward. At the end of her Grammy performance for the song, Ariana was seen making her way to her bed and pulling her ring off her engagement hand and placing it in a closed box. 

A fan assumed she was making a reference to the end of a chapter with Pete and Ariana confirmed it was true. "So.. do we end this era tonight..?
@ArianaGrande," the user wrote, with Ariana responding: "yes ????"

"I usually express how I feel about anything through work. So, I hope she's well. I hope she's very happy. And that's pretty much it," Pete recently said of his ex.
