Context YMMV / YokoOno

Go To

1* MemeticMutation: A sort-of fad in Website/YouTube that's somewhat spreading is that Yoko does a "cover" of a certain song. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GMHl7bmlzw This video]] then accompanied with piano instrumental of the song. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjviFhFa_yc Here's an example]] with Music/LadyGaga's "Bad Romance"
2* MisBlamed: [[http://unclemikesmusings.blogspot.com/2014/01/top-5-reasons-you-cant-blame-yoko-ono.html For her role in the break-up of the Beatles.]]
3* NeverLiveItDown: No matter what she did with her career or for John Lennon's memory, she'll always be remembered for the Beatles breaking up while she happened to be married to John. Charity work that she takes part in are frequently bashed online solely for the fact that she is Yoko. She's also the poster child for "terrible singer".
4* RonTheDeathEater: There's plenty of fair criticism to be made of her - such as her horrible treatment of Julian Lennon or coercing her employee May Pang to engage in a sexual relationship with John Lennon - but her Hatedom's image of her as some evil golddigging sorceress who used her Eastern magic to seduce John Lennon and break up the Beatles definitely falls under this category.
5* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct:
6** Or sing, rather. Opinions vary in which songs her voice "sounds good" or "listenable". Her more conventional songs are often well-liked even though there are some that do prefer her avant-garde songs with her signature vocal style more.
7** A good early example of this is demonstrated on the B-side of the "Give Peace a Chance" single, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxKnzlocj0M "Remember Love"]].
8** Fans despise her work when she was involved with the Beatles' live performances. Creator/BillBurr explains it best while watching a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2i9RvBOSZ4 collaboration between John Lennon and Chuck Berry]].
9%%* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: "Dream Love".
10* VindicatedByHistory: Her work is ''considerably'' more popular now than it was between 1968 and 1990. A retrospective in 1989 by the Whitney Museum of American Art and the 6-disc ''Onobox'' in 1992 re-invigorated her appeal in the public eye, and her body of work has proven influential for many musicians and artists.
11** As early as the late 1970s, Yoko was held as an influence on punk and new wave. Music/TheB52s in particular cited her vocal stylings as an influence on songs such as "Rock Lobster."
