Theologically, I am horrified. This song is complete heresy. Uncertainty or resistance to fulfilling his mission? That's not in Christian scripture.

@@dimanosov5393 "That's not in Christian scripture" I doubt you have read those scriptures. Read the Evangelium once more, if you forgot what exactly is written there.
@@annah.4634 The song is all "me me me me". It portrays Jesus as a narcissist who doesn't understand Gods plan of the cross, and presenting him as if he's some victim of a capricious diety.

His trouble was taking on Gods wrath onto himself, but "I can do nothing on My own initiative As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." The last few words of the song "Before I change my mind" contradicts this scripture Gods will was his will, as the Son of the Father. If Jesus was to ask the Father of anything, the Father would have immediately saved his life, and therefore there would be no salvation for mankind. I stand with what I said initially. This song is a theological heresy, and it's presenting Christ as if he was a fallen, sinful human rather than the incarnate son of God. Yes, the song is fantastic, and the singer is amazing, but it's heretical
This is the best one of these because my guy perfectly balances gritty emotion-howling with precise technical skill. He BITES on the words, then hits us with that high note?? Incandescent
If I left the catholic church and I still cry from the readings on good friday. I can imagine. The story of a man doing good and being executed for it is soul crushing. Just because politicians got butthurt cause they weren't popular anymore.
@@amanogirl1 so the question is who is he playing? Our traditional Jesus, or the raelian emissary or are they one and the same? Don't worry I don't stay up at night thinking about it. Just think it's interesting
The Glenn Carter's voice is soft but also power and this voice is really so beautiful. He plays his role with many emotion, a role not easy. I love you Glenn, BRAVO ! Sorry, I am french and I speak English with difficult.
Holy shit, I found this video because of a meme, RUclips glitched so I couldn't see your comment, accidentally clicked the timestamp you put, and jumped straight to the meme. What a coincidence
Glenn is very good. But I will always prefer Steve Balsamo, who played Jesus in the West End in 1996 and he still sings the song now. Steve Balsamo is AMAZING. This is the link to Steve singing Gethsemane ruclips.net/video/_QozXX7Ndrk/видео.html
Actually, heavy metal legend Ian Gillian was the original--JCSS started as a concept album rock opera. Also, fun fact, the original score didn't include the insane high note; Gillian just improvised that on the spot because he felt it would make the emotions feel more powerful that way.
@@dorkandproudofit that's an old rumor and not true. ALW wrote the G5 in the original soundtrack. he's pretty much known for writing music that's impossible for 99.9% of people to sing.
Then you haven't heard ted Neely from the original movie this guy can't sing his voice is inconsistent and fluctuates no control but ted Neely and Carl Anderson can't be beaten
I love this musical so much. All the songs are incredible. Btw in my opinion this version of Gethsemane is the best. In this version I can hear and see his despair.
This is why I like Glenn Carter's version. It is more human. Jesus though being God he was also man. So the anger and frustration that is in this song is far more relatable.
@@silasfrisenette9226 He wasn't god. The father is not god. The son is not god. And the holy spirit is not god. Each of them are aspects of god that make the trinity. Your leg is not you, your leg is a part of you. It's kind of like that, only each part has a distinct personality.
@@minutemansam1214 very good explanation, I've always struggled to grasp the concept of the Trinity. But your explanation is possibly one of the most concise clarifications. Thanks for that.
I was 16, now I’m 65. This is my first time seeing this particular Jesus. He is AWESOME. We will have Zoom service and I am submitting this scene for possible use after the gospel reading of the betrayal, etc.
Love this film lyrics was spot on he as an amazing voice I loved all the actors but my fave as to be Glenn Carter the emotions were top of market I so loooovvvve this man xxx
Oh my god I love his singing!!! 5 years later age 18 this is still one of my favourite films I’ve seen, the emotion is so amazingly beautiful, the singing, weirdly it gives me more faith in God lmao Edit: 7 years later I’m almost 21 now still love this
The original studio version was better in singing quality but he definetly put a lot more emotion and depth to the song that no one else has, you really feel him being scared for his death.
I've seen JCSS twice, live in NY many years ago, when it was new; have worn out one tape of it, years ago. . . and sit here today with tears stinging my eyes and my mouth LITERALLY hanging open at this performance.
Какой он потрясающий! Голос и игра! Впервые услышала эту версию мюзикла. И была потрясена. Мне нравилась и раньше эта музыка, но этот фильм удивил, восхитил, ужаснул, заставил плакать… Вот уже неделю смотрю его и не могу останавливиться. И конечно, Гленн здесь самый классный актёр и певец!
Я в новогоднюю ночь посмотрела, тоже под впечатлением. У Гленна получился самый добрый Иисус. Даже когда он ругается с апостолами, всё равно добрый ) Ходячее солнышко просто.
@@moonspirit8746 да, и сцена с прокажёнными - они все его стараются использовать, но он не отказывает им, и искренне сочувствует и помогает, сколько хватает сил. Вообще, кажется, что текст и задуманный автором образ Иисуса, расходится с его образом, созданным режиссёром и актёром. По тексту - он настоящая птица обломинго - только все собрались, что интересное и крутое придумали (собрались отвоевать свой дом у римлян или хотят узнать его планы, идут ли в Иерусалим), как он, своей коротюсенькои репликой всех обрывает, все планы рушит, все скисают и расходятся. Но его образ, созданный в фильме, абсолютно противоречит этой холодности и невнимательности, и эгоизму (ведь Иисус всё время говорит о себе - как они будут скучать, как все должны о нём заботиться и т.д.), словами он всех отталкивает, но "слова" его тела, всё опровергают: всех обнимают, ко всем внимательны. Он каждому улыбнётся, всех, кому надо, коснётся, погладит и успокоит.
@@moonspirit8746 а сцена тайной вечери - вообще самая гениальная из всего мюзикла - в ней столько энергии, движения, столько драматизма и динамики, столько линий столкновения - и Иисус с Иудой, и Пётр, от которого все начинают как о чумного шарахаться, и ужас апостолов во втором повторении их темы, и третье тихое повторение, когда все от пережитых эмоций и шока засыпают, как дети, у которых сработал защитный механизм и вырубил сознание. И движение Гленна по кадру - стремительное и яркое, и потрясающая картинка: золотой свет, золотистый ореол вокруг лица, белая туника и преломление хлеба - да, она без всяких сомнений отправляет к Леонардо да Винчи, и как же это красиво!
He's not Neeley but damn good with a unique emphasis that I liked. He has the high notes (along with breath control) completely nailed. Much better than Legend - sorry John.
John Legend didn't even try to hit that high G. He knew he couldn't do it. While I was somewhat impressed with John Legend's performance, and I am NOT a John Legend fan, Ted Neeley did a production of Jesus Christ Superstar during 2018-2019 with Corey Glover doing the part of Judas, that hands down buried the John Legend production in the proverbial dust. Ted Neeley at 76 years of age did this song on Broadway on opening night, after not singing the song for years, he didn't even sing it during rehearsals, that will most likely stand the test of time as being the best performance of this song by anyone ever. It was so good I felt as though I had literally been levitated out of my seat.
@@willwilburn9473 I have seen a clip of a performance by Ted Neeley at the age of 70 and, yes, I was very greatly impressed!! But, I still have to say that THIS is the best performance of that song that I have ever heard, from anyone, at any age: ruclips.net/video/_QozXX7Ndrk/видео.html
I do prefer Legend's voice overall, but he just didn't have the high notes in him, which was disappointing (although I do give him props for knowing his own limits)
Why must I be 30 years old you done me like this and I will not cry again ❤ dear God I’ve never felt so good in my whole life and I felt so happy because now I realize which changing you want me to be 30
Acting-wise, my favourite Jesus. It's like the others treat it as a series of songs (too busy bopping along to the beat to pay any real attention to the meaning of the lyrics - we're all guilty of it), but he sees it as dialogue that happens to be sung... The acting itself may be a bit OTT at times, but I can forgive that as he's obviously more accustomed to performing for a theatre audience than film cameras and the two are very different (and I can be a bit dense, so subtlety isn't always my friend)
I love this man and his brilliant voice. I watch this video very often and I've done that about 15 years 🥰 His acting is so reliable and his singing is unbelievable. Glenn is only Jesus I believe in...except the real one, of course 😃🤣 So beautiful, talented and soft Jesus ❤💯 (and sexy...ooops) 😍
I love any rendition of this song. It expresses our response to dealing with the Creator. Yes, you can ask, but He can choose not to answer and the situation goes as He plans. Our pleas are heard, but don't necessary have to be answered. Ha! Yes, God holds every card, and we don't have to like it. But, guess what? We don't have to go along with his plan. Let's do this God before I change my mind.
That might be the single most toxic version of an explanation for this song i have ever had the displeasure of reading, if your "creator" holds every card then dont go to the hospital the next time illness strikes. He gives the resources, and you have to make of that what you can. Just becayse there is a hospital doesnt mean you cant die there, but with your words you should just wait for death
In both this and the 73 version, something is portrayed in this song. Through whatever magical means, Jesus saw his own execution coming, in detail, and it turned him into a mass of depression. If you knew, not thought, but KNEW that in the following days you'd be flogged, tortured, then eventually executed it'd really take the wind out of your sails. Then, as portrayed in this song, Jesus looks to God and says "Why me? Give me one good reason why I gotta go through this crap!"
I've performed this musical as Jesus in two semi-pro productions at different points in my life. I always based it on Ian Gillan's version. He was the original and cannot be touched - especially as he was responsible for introducing the Deep Purple screams into this song.
I'm sorry to say, but I don't feel the emotion in Gillan's version as I do here. Gillan just sings it. Carter plays a role. He has depth, emotion, you can actually feel the pain and torture. It does something Gillan could never do- reach your heart and squeeze it, bring you to tears.
This was my favorite adaptation of jesus, his vocals are all over the place, swings of anger and sorrow, you can feel his pain and its shocking honestly
Try The versión of Dan Vasc. Thank me later.
Theologically, I am horrified. This song is complete heresy. Uncertainty or resistance to fulfilling his mission? That's not in Christian scripture. Christs resentment and rebellion against his Father's will, as portrayed in the song, WRONG. Jesus feeling abandoned by God? NO. His freaking out about the necessity of his sacrifice? He's presented as resentful and rebellious, but ultimately acceptful. His will is the Fathers will, this song is horrible in representing the Biblical and historical person of Christ.
It's a great song in terms of artistry, I do actually like it, and I'm blown away by the singing. But this song is complete heresy.
@@dimanosov5393 "That's not in Christian scripture" I doubt you have read those scriptures. Read the Evangelium once more, if you forgot what exactly is written there.
@@annah.4634 The song is all "me me me me". It portrays Jesus as a narcissist who doesn't understand Gods plan of the cross, and presenting him as if he's some victim of a capricious diety.
Yes, Jesus was troubled. The human body tends to begin freaking out and releasing chemicals when death is imminent.
However, not once in scripture did Jesus make any demands for this cup to be taken away from him. He was begging the Father that if there was any other way this could be done, other than what he'd have to go through, if it was possible, but in the end he acknowledged it was the Father's will. His trouble was taking on Gods wrath onto himself, but "I can do nothing on My own initiative As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." The last few words of the song "Before I change my mind" contradicts this scripture
Gods will was his will, as the Son of the Father. If Jesus was to ask the Father of anything, the Father would have immediately saved his life, and therefore there would be no salvation for mankind.
I stand with what I said initially. This song is a theological heresy, and it's presenting Christ as if he was a fallen, sinful human rather than the incarnate son of God. Yes, the song is fantastic, and the singer is amazing, but it's heretical
Watch Drew Sarich nobody does it better
He sounds so heartbroken! Glenn's Jesus has such a compassionate quality to it that demands the audience's sympathy, which is happily given!
Try The versión bye Dan Vasc, thank me later.
This is the best one of these because my guy perfectly balances gritty emotion-howling with precise technical skill. He BITES on the words, then hits us with that high note?? Incandescent
By the end of each Broadway performance you could hear the audience sobbing.
If I left the catholic church and I still cry from the readings on good friday. I can imagine. The story of a man doing good and being executed for it is soul crushing. Just because politicians got butthurt cause they weren't popular anymore.
The fact that Glenn believes Jesus was an emissary of an alien race makes this unintentionally funny
Nordfjord Where did you hear that? Now I can’t take him seriously.
Also adds an extra dimension to the performance
@@amanogirl1 Glenn is the head of the Raelians movement chapter in Great Briton.

When he says "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" It kind of makes me feel bad for Him.

I like this story of the last week of Christ's life because I think it casts him as a person rather than an all knowing Devine presents.

I'm not as sure, as when we started
Then, I was inspired
Now, I'm sad and tired
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations
Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me,
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, my God
Want to see, I'd want to see, my God
Want to see, I'd want to see, my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Why should I die? Oh why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why
Alright, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now, I'm sad and tired
After all, I've tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started, I didn't start it
God, thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me
Take me, now!
Before I change my mind

Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say) lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
He is definitely intense❤ most passionate of all.
Wow!!!!!! That voice 😎😎😎
Oh my god jesus your singing is amazing
So emotional 😢
BEST OF BEST! Fills every part of me!!!
Probably the best one to date
Love his high notes!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Gethsemane is my favourite song in Jesus Christ Superstar
When he said “why” I felt that
"You're tearing me apart, Lisa!"
That's what this guys acting reminds me of
YES!
LOL I totally thought that at 2:44 He has a great voice though - one of the best.
YEEEESSSSSS
🤣 Omg, petition for Glenn Carter to play Johnny in a musical version of "The Room."
Love it or hate it this version of Jesus Christ Superstar does have its best moments.
Passionate beautiful musical about God’s undying love
he kills it i love this
Bob ddyd gir saren

This is by far the best Gethsemane out there
Except Gilan’s!
@@adrc9010 No this is better
Except Steve Balsamo
In both this and the 73 version, something is portrayed in this song. Through whatever magical means, Jesus saw his own execution coming, in detail, and it turned him into a mass of depression. If you knew, not thought, but KNEW that in the following days you'd be flogged, tortured, then eventually executed it'd really take the wind out of your sails. Then, as portrayed in this song, Jesus looks to God and says "Why me? Give me one good reason why I gotta go through this crap!"

Csodálatos tehetség, Csodálatos hang és személyiség, a dal szintén győnyörű, de a művész előadásában felülmulhatatlan.
Im very fan of JCS since my uncle and brothers is acting and casting of Jesus Christ superstar here in Philippines ☺✨🙏🏻
I watched this musical days ago and can't take it out from my mind...
"show me just a little"was quite funny. His just a little went up high and i was laughing my arse off.
That's what I called BAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Adoro esta interpretação do Glenn Carter
Bobby did saren girl saren
Acting and singing are on point
Very good voice from the actor and his interpretation amazing .
The best version of all
When he sings, you can feel that he's actually suffering while singing...
The best and most effective version of Jesus Christ Superstar is The Shows Must Go On! Concert version by far!
uhh gives me goosebumps every time...
A M A Z I N G 😭
I actually did JCSS for my school musical and was casted Ensemble and doing legally blonde next year and going to audition
Glen Carter was the best Jesus.
Потрясающе , браво !!!❤️
Ted Neely' s version of this song as JC in the 1973 movie was fantastic!!
Also check out Dan Vasc's cover version. They are both fantastic!!!
I've performed this musical as Jesus in two semi-pro productions at different points in my life. I always based it on Ian Gillan's version. He was the original and cannot be touched - especially as he was responsible for introducing the Deep Purple screams into this song.
I'm sorry to say, but I don't feel the emotion in Gillan's version as I do here. Gillan just sings it. Carter plays a role. He has depth, emotion, you can actually feel the pain and torture. It does something Gillan could never do- reach your heart and squeeze it, bring you to tears.
@@juliacher1987 yes, this guy was performing but Gillan had to deliver in a cold recording studio
@@jvictor77 Yeah, sure. his vocals are amazing, not arguing here. Just saying you can't realy compare the two.
처음엔 순종적인 모습을 보이다가 점점 절망,무엇을위해 희생해야하는지에 대한 비난,절규 보이고 마침내 큰뜻을 이해 할수없지만 이해하고 받아들이는 모습..(마지막소리가 제일좋다..)
He does a pretty good job with the Gillan scream!
Strongest, most accurate and beautiful version.
