Just saw Jesus Christ Superstar on Sunday as it came through my area. Excellent!! First time seeing it live, but I have watched all of the available versions! The 1973 movie, 2000 version with Glenn Carter and Jerome Pradon, the live arena tour with Tim Minchin, and of course this version. :) Such a great show! I grew up with my Mom playing the album all of the time. :)
Thanks for coming too see us!
@@NickofMusic You were really great! :)
Amazing musical and fantastic voice of John Legend !
John Legend was a terrible miscast, couldn't be worse! Check out "The Passion" from New Orleans 2016 (here on RUclips in full length and as individual clips). Jencarlos Canela played Jesus so vulnerable and touching that viewers and cast were in tears. Jencarlos Canela is unsurpassed as an artist in singing and acting! This live performance in New Orleans better and more touching than any production of "Jesus Christ Superstar.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that this production made a huge blunder by casting John Legend as Jesus.
@@peabody66he honestly fucks this performance up badly, and the worst part is Judas has so much emotion and Jesus is just like:😐
He was horrible. But I do love Brandon. He's a strong actor.
@@jsmashthefrog8256 Exactly what I was thinking. I guess if they had gotten a terrible Judas, John wouldn't have looked so bad. Lol.
john legend my engine to be jesus in jesus christ superstar ❤🩹
Glad that they’re dropping more pro shot clips for the 2018 version, seeing Gethsemane recently and now the Last Supper is great. Definitely one of the best performed songs to come out of this rendition, helps that its one of my favorite songs in the musical too
This iteration of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR stands superbly alongside other versions. The singing, stage setting, choreography, scene and costume design are awesome. It is not in competition with other versions of this classic, it does not seek to imitate other versions, it stands beside ALL the great versions, ALL the great performers. Do not compare. Do not criticize. Absorb this version for what it is,a new, fresh interpretation. We can enjoy them all without tearing any of them down. I love all the versions I have seen! One does not diminish the other.
Now we need thousands of angels to safe us from the world where we are living in. Jesus is not enough.
You fundamentally misunderstand the world -- and the Christian faith. Your cynical contempt is precisely what this song rejects.
But Jesus is. He's the SON OF GOD! We're not good enough, but Jesus is and he can save us!!
@@joshygoldiem_j2799 That is an unbiblical assertion, completely contrary to Jewish belief.
Ok, now, let’s not be mean towards John Legend; rune has it, he wasn’t comfortable w all the sharps & flats he was required to sing. It was actually his salvation to perform the songs w in his own vocal range! But he’s the one that was chosen for this role!
Nope. His singing was very good. But he's a horrible actor. He reacted to nothing and never understood the emotionality of anything. Not interacting with your fellow actors is pretty selfish.
He's not bad, but he's wrong for this role. It's not called "Jesus christ r&b crooner"
John Legend's performance is school play level at best. 0 emotion, 0 character, 0 acting, 0 reacting to the other actors, as per the singing, he's doing what he can within his comfort zone.
Oh really is he in it? I have heard his song "this time" about I believe 12 years ago..amazing and I even had a role in a stage performance of JCS. ..this is so good..what a performance by this man!
THIS WAS AMAZING!
I dont love John Legend s singing, but his acting is much more compelling than Ted for me, his eyes convey much more pride and safety, as I think the said son of God should have. This is an amazing act.
Who plays Judas? I can hear a bit of Carl Anderson in his voice!
Brandon Victor Dixon ❤
Let me just say this before everyone here gets bothered. John Legend is an incredible talent and he deserves all the accolades that he earns. But in this, he just plain sucked
NEVER depend on PEOPLE. Find the Angels among us 🧘♀️
Not quite. We are called to BE angels to others, and by that I mean examples of affirmation and healing, not hypocritical judgment and shaming.
If you are trying to "find" Angels then you will fall under the spell of charlatans and demagogues who masquerade as devout Christians.
Did anyone believe that Jesus took away all our sin? Does anyone notice there is more evil, but more hidden than ever before?
You idolize sin. You reject grace, you seek false excuses to judge, and you project your own sin upon people that you don't know. Meanwhile, you are impenitent of your own sins which we see right here.
oh, I didn't know Legend also did broadway. great performance and dynamic between him and the Judas character. bravo!
Clearly you haven't seen other productions of this musical if you thought John was good.
John Legend is a very talented man i wont argue that. But idk who tf thought he was suited for THIS role. Its by far the worst Jesus I've ever seen. I'm actually in awe.
John legend is a good singer but a very bad choice for JCS, it’s like casting a young Dolly Parton as Mary Magdalene
John Legend is a great singer but he’s so emotionless in this. Not a very good actor.
Not that legend sucks (he’s just doing his best in a role meant for higher tessituras than his), but from seeing/hearing this I feel BVD would be better at singing Jesus as written.
john legend completely ruined this production. Hellen Keller can see this and she's dead.
I think he sucked. But there were some fantastic performances coming out of the other actors. Brandon and Norm, two of my favorites.
Can you imagine that in this century, the wine is only poison? With chemicals in it that break down your braincells with every glass?
Hoped for better honestly, This is average compared to Anderson and Neely, whish it was not. Still maybe I expected too much from some who were already famous, it's not bad but average. Saw the originals perform it in person was great, Judas and Christ at least. The scenes with others didn't do as well as this does with the minor characters, still for me the film will be the gold standard until someone takes the crown.
Why is the audience so annoying in this?
Haha John Legend is awful.
For sure. But at least all the other actors are fantastic. Brandon was awesome along with others.
Jesus Christ Superstar is awful.
@@pollypockets508 Agreed! Brandon was amazing.
Have seen many productions, but John Legend is the absolute worst. Vocals are sad and acting is worse. Pitiful.
@@marydalton8083 Vocals were ok. Acting was horrible.
.... Why Christ came back in a weaponless, democratic country? Guess 😏
You are delusional here. There are no weaponless countries. And you hate the religious freedom as a Christian that you can only enjoy in a democracy.
There is only one God and that is Allah, beside Him you find no one who can benefit or harm. He is above His creation, and you won't find any one similar to Him. He has no parents nor children nor beginning of days nor end of days. There is a veil between Him and His creation and that veil is light. If He were to remove it the glory of His face will destroy as far He can see. He sees all, those who do good, and those who reject His message, and no leaf falls from a tree except He is aware of it. He has created men and chosen from their midst man to give His message. The fortunate are those who received, implemented, called others to his message, and showed patience. To receive His message you need patience, to implement His message you need patience, to call others to His message you need patience, and to show patience you need full reliance on Him. Amongst those He had chosen from the chosen ones are Muhammad, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Noah. God Almighty chooses whom He wishes for indeed He has gave us different portions. He had made some of us poor without no fault of theirs, and some rich. He had made some of us beautiful without asking of Him, and some no fault of theirs. All that to test us, to see which one of us will show gratitude and patience. Those who humble themselves God Almighty will show them mercy and love, and He will raise them from our ranks. Those who turn their backs on Him, He will turn His back on them on a great Day, and they will not find no helpers besides Him. Both of His hands are right! Both of His hands are generous!, one on the left, the other on the right, while Both His hands are right. No one knows more about God Almighty except His chosen servants. May God Almighty make us those who accept truth when they see it, and those who reject falsehood when they hear of it.
there is only one god and he's nameless . he is above this human thing and urge to name everything - Jahve Allah meanigless
Sorry, he was made up, like all gods. Remember, we have evidence of multiple species of humans over millions of years, strange how none of this is mentioned or explained. The list goes on.
@@addar1989 Allah means the only one worthy of worship
Did you like the musical though?
The Quran says we all share the same Allah -- Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
