Imagine Lady Gaga singing John Lennon's "Imagine," and then watch this live performance of her doing just that during the European Games opening ceremony in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Gaga, who is one of only two female artists this decade with three No. 1 albums (the other being Taylor Swift), performed the 1971 classic on a piano covered in flowers.

The 29-year-old entertainer is no stranger to covering classics. Gaga memorably veered away from her pop background to showcase her jazz skills by singing with Tony Bennett. The duo's jazz album, Cheek to Cheek, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in October.
