**MORE INFO ABOUT THE MEANING & PURPOSE OF THIS VIDEO:
NOTE: This video was shown in conjunction with a live event at the United Nations today, kicking off this UNICEF campaign. I somehow managed to catch the last bit of it, when the video was being shown on screens in conjunction with live performers (not Adam, by the way)... Here's the info that was given in explanation for the event today:
Here is the You Tube of the livestream today: Skip ahead to 1:29:30 to the introduction of Imagine, and the performance (The video itself begins at 1:35:00)...
"From UNTV: General Assembly: 25th Anniversary Of The Adoption Of The Convention On The Rights Of The Child"
"Started on Nov 20, 2014 20 November 2014 marks an important date on the global calendar: the 25th Anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child – the most widely ratified legal agreement to protect child rights. To mark this day and generate much needed awareness and funds, UNICEF is embarking on The #IMAGINE Project – one of the world’s largest-ever combined music recordings, to one of the world’s most loved songs, John Lennon’s Imagine."
"Through a new App, music artists, celebrity influencers including athletes and actors, and people around the world will be able to record their contribution (vocals and video) which will be mixed together to create a million voices ‘world’ version of the song Imagine, produced by David Guetta for UNICEF, in support of children around the world."
"2014 also marks two other UNICEF anniversaries: the 60th Anniversary of UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassadors (GWAs) Programme (past and present GWAs include Danny Kay, Audrey Hepburn, David Beckham, Katy Perry, amongst others) and the 35th Anniversary of the Music for UNICEF Concert – a huge gathering of music stars such as ABBA, Bee Gees, Olivia Newton-John and Rod Stewart, in 1979 to help raise awareness and funds for UNICEF."
"Programme includes:" "• Performances by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors and influential singers representing regions from around the world: Angelique Kidjo; Daniela Mercury; Sonu Nigam; Laleh, performing ABBA’s ‘Chiquitita’ live, with Bjorn of ABBA joining onstage at the end; Kristian Kostov."
"• Projected video performances by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors and influential singers representing regions from around the world, including Katy Perry, Nancy Ajram, Priyanka Chopra, Yuna Kim and others [including Adam Lambert]."
"• Projected video segments from the 1979 Music for UNICEF Concert to acknowledge the 35th Anniversary of that historic concert."
"• Grand finale of a performance of ‘Imagine’, led by the 15 year old Russian singer, Kristian Kostov, who is then joined by all artists on the main stage of the Hall where Yoko Ono sits at a white piano; all are accompanied by a 65 person children’s choir coming down the aisles from the back of the Hall to the stage"

What can I say. I love that man and his voice is exquisite 😍
Great song for a great cause.
this song always makes me cry indeed. Adam singing with passion makes more...

Adam sounds great and looks even better. So sweet and caring. I love that Adam is being included in so many different projects and causes!
he should sing the whole song. so beautiful. love to hear him sing "come together". a Beatles collab.
Love it. So glad to see Adam included in this. Imagine is one of the classic songs of all time, IMO. Just says it all. And yes, I'd love to hear Adam sing the whole song by himself. Perfection.
I'd be better if it was Adam singing the entire song.
Anon 5:48, I agree completely!
He increases and enhances everything he is a part of. His contribution in this is truly gorgeous and compelling (Of course!)
Lambert Magic. :))
New interview with Brian May from Universal Japan! Talks allot about Adam Lambert! It's so great! Don't miss it! 👑❤️ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0rSQvBQVyE
Kinda wish he had his eyes open, but then, I'm very greedy. LOL.
Lambertlust, thanks for the article link. Again, great praise from Brian about Adam. And heartfelt memories about Queen with Freddie.
A wonderful cause and Adam's voice, so pure and compelling. I'm so proud of Adam that he is included in this very important project.
List of all the singers in the vid is at the end of this article.

This song is almost an anthem, I´m so proud of Adam singing in this video. This song is a big reason why me and hundreds of people wandered last summer to Strawberry fields in Central Park. There were a guy who played guitar and sang also this touching song.
