Must Watch: Gal Gadot’s “Imagine” Pales in Comparison to Anghami’s Lebanese Take
14 days ago, Gal Gadot, star of Marvel’s Wonder Woman, posted an Instagram video featuring a number of Hollywood A-listers in a remake of John Lennon’s 70s classic, ‘Imagine’.
The 31-year-old star intended to send a message of love to all the people of the world in this time of crisis; her post read, “We are in this together, we will get through it together. Let’s imagine together. Sing with us ❤ All love to you, from me and my dear friends.”
The viral video had mixed reviews; while everyone loved the message behind it, many thought it was poorly-made and lacked appeal.
Two weeks later, the Dubai-based music app Anghami decided to make its own cover of the song. The video released on Saturday featured a number of Lebanon’s leading musicians including singer Marc Hatem, pianist Aleph and, guitarist Elie Akl. Even actor Wissam Saliba contributed with a few tunes of his own.
