Unlike when Michael was in Les Mis, the other singers here are good but not great. He stands out. Just a phenomenal singer and performer! Also shout out to the genius's who wrote the songs and lyrics.
I love Michael's version of Gethsemane. It's powerful and passionate without being an over-the-top screech fest. He's been singing the song for years and sometimes his performance is smooth and polished like this one and sometimes it's much more emotional and theatrical. Whatever he does with it, it's always a stellar performance.
Man, my parents took my brother and I when I was like 6... I paid attention though and loved the music... Still listening age 56 ... Original album... Its all good
I will always love the original. Sadly I lost my dvd copy in a house fire last year. 😓 Quick edit: this guy is no carl anderson but omg he's amazing!!!! 😯😯😯
I am looking for the singer of The last Suppper .. so if you know more just tell me 🙂 i was looking already for a cast overview but could not find anything
OMG YEEEESSS!!!! Have you heard his version with Lesley Garret?! Just the best Phantom ever! Even the song sounds soooo hypnotizing and kinda sexy I must say. I've been wanting to see him as the Phantom for a long time ago!
COMPLETE LYRICS: JUDAS: My mind is clearer now At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be. If you strip away the myth from the man, You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus! You've started to believe These things they say of you. You really do believe This talk of God is true. And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away. You've begun to matter more Than the things you say. I remember when this whole thing began. No talk of God then, we called you a man. And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died. But every word you say today Gets twisted 'round some other way. And they'll crush us if we go too far. If we go too far.... MARY MAGDALENE: Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to Problems that upset you, oh. Don't you know Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine. And we want you to sleep well tonight. Let the world turn without you tonight. If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight JESUS: Surely you're not saying we have the resources To save the poor from their lot? There will be poor always, pathetically struggling. Look at the good things you've got. Think while you still have me! Move while you still see me! You'll be lost, and you'll be so sorry when I'm gone. MARY MAGDALENE: Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you. Myrrh for your hot forehead Then you'll feel Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine. And it's cool and the ointment's sweet For the fire in your head and feet. Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax Think of nothing tonight. MARY MAGDALENE: I don't know how to love him. I don’t, how to move him. He's a man. He's just a man. And I've had so many men before, In very many ways, He's just one more. Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love, Let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this. What's it all about? Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost. I'd be frightened. I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope. I'd turn my head. I'd back away. I wouldn't want to know. He scares me so. I want him so. I love him... so. APOSTLES: Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. Don't disturb me now, I can see the answers 'Till this evening is this morning, life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I would make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll still talk about us when we've died. CROWD: Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna Hey Sanna Hosanna Hey JC, JC you're alright by me Sanna Hosanna Hey Superstar JESUS: Sing me your songs, But not for me alone. Sing out for yourselves, For you are bless-ed. There is not one of you Who can not win the kingdom. The slow, the suffering, The quick, the dead. CROWD and JESUS: Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna Hey Sanna Hosanna CROWD (alone): Hey JC, JC won't you die for me? Hosanna Hey Superstar. JESUS: I only want to say, If there is a way, Take this cup away from me I don't want to taste its poison. Feel it burn me, I have changed. 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 they ask of me, Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree. I'd have to know, I'd have to know, My God, I'd have to know, I'd have to know, My God, I’d Have to see, I'd have to see, My God, I’d have 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 want to know, I'd want to know, my Lord, I’d want to know, I'd want to know, my Lord, I’d want to see, I'd have to see, my Lord, I’d want 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? I have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord, I 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! 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, now! Before I change my mind!
Muy bien dicho ,estoy contigo aquello fue apoteósico y esa ,María Magdalena ,Gestemani se ponían los pelos de punta , incluso a día de hoy si lo escuchas grandes cantantes ,grandes actores en nuestro país ,nada que envidiar a los de fuera , tenemos un gran repertorio ,un saludo
Steven Ritter More than 20 years ago I happen to see an ad in the Dallas morning news where Jesus Christ superstar was going to be performed and Ted Neely was reprising his role as Jesus. I didn’t care how much it cost, what day of the week it was on, I was going to be there. The original movie with Ted Neely as Jesus is one of my absolute favorite movies. I think because I saw it as a young child, it spurred in me a love of musical theater from then on. But seeing Ted Neely play Jesus live is one of the highlights of my life.
@@stevenritter3747 I just did a google search to see when it was I saw the show. I didn't realize until just now that Carl Anderson was touring as Judas. They stopped in Dallas from 26 April to 1 May 1994. Now I can say I have seen the ultimate Jesus and Judas perform live and on state in JCS. I just remember seeing that Ted Neely was in the cast, I may not have even realized that Carl was on tour as well. I am sure I still have my Playbill from the show. I never get rid of those...I have BOXES of them. JCS was coming back to Dallas this year and I was looking forward to it so much since it is one of my favorites but alas COVID squashed my happiness. I think they are rescheduling it but it was one of the shows I really looking forward to. At least we got to see Dear Evan Hansen before COVID hit...
Why is Judas Black and Jesus White? In actuality Jesus had brown skin and Judas had the same colour. Why don't we challenge these notions????? Don't get me wrong, Iove me some Michael Ball, he's got great talent.
Yeah, that grouping of actors made me a bit uncomfortable too. I'm hoping they were just pulled from different casts for the concert. As much as I love Michael Ball, my favorite Jesus/Judas pairing is from the series of made-for-tv musicals that ABC did a few years ago.
I was Judas in the Dusseldorf Production... you can see me sing 'Heaven their minds' etc by entering my name, Ian Rowles in the youtube search. Maybe Leave a comment . 👍
I listened to the entire thing and to be honest in my opinion this really wasn't that good because usually when you hear a song being sung the instruments usually go with the voice in this case they didn't seem to also I was waiting for Michael Ball to sing Gethsemane which I have always enjoyed.. but if you hear previous versions of him singing this you'll see that some of the words were different... In my opinion the best version of the song that he has done was in the Andrew Lloyd Webber birthday celebration in 1996 I think it was
Michael Ball is good and the blonde who was singing Mary Magdalane in everything's alright. Everyone else wasn't that bad or anything, just not perfect for the roll.
Louise dearman she’s doing amazing and lovely, first actress in wicked to play both female leads of galinda and elpheba among her other credits she’s got a great cv x
The g isn't in tge original score, and it's up to the performer whether or not to include it. Michael ball decided not to, either because he couldn't or because he didn't want to.
Why do you make it into a concert when it'a should be a play so as to clearly relay the message of Christ. Is it all for fame. Give glory to whom glory is due.
This dude sounds like he is singing the song and not embodying the character of Christ in his last moments of doubt. In fact, everyone he sounds like they are just singing it to get the words out but no one means them. I didn't buy that Judas was worried for his friend, I didn't buy that Mary Magdalene loved Jesus, I didn't buy that the apostles were happy. Not every singer needs to be Ian or Ted or Camilo but at least make me believe you were someone special. I guess also the arrangement doesn't help? Sounds like the ROCK was sucked out of it and replaced with an overly theatrical version. Almost like the original film tried to do but they kinda screwed up that job as well. Anyway, always fun to hear these tunes sang from different artists but this specific group did not much move me.
Agreed. Not an ounce of emotion from any of them. My only commendation would go to the guy playing Judas at the beginning. Michael Ball is great in parts that suit him, but he was lacklustre at best in this.
What's your favourite song from Jesus Christ Superstar? Let us know below!
My favourite is Heaven On Their Minds, or The Last Supper 2!
Gethsemane sang by Steve Balsamo. Ball will be Marius forever. :)
Heaven on their minds sang by Tim Minchin 😊👍
“ I don’t know how to love him! “
Gethsemane. Michael Ball every time.
I am always exhausted when this is finished! I feel every word. It always makes me cry. There is No ONE like Michael Ball!!!!!!!
Michael Ball singing Gethsemane is sublime
Gethsemane and Michael Ball! I was in tears all the way through it!
Michael Ball is definitely in his own show. So Theater character and voice is impeccable. So charming.
Unlike when Michael was in Les Mis, the other singers here are good but not great. He stands out. Just a phenomenal singer and performer!
Also shout out to the genius's who wrote the songs and lyrics.
Michael Ball is AMAZING. That voice of his is divine.
I’m just here for Michael Ball.
Gethsemane, by Michael Ball. 100%
Magnificent Michael❤️
I love Michael's version of Gethsemane. It's powerful and passionate without being an over-the-top screech fest. He's been singing the song for years and sometimes his performance is smooth and polished like this one and sometimes it's much more emotional and theatrical. Whatever he does with it, it's always a stellar performance.
So true, regarding some performances being screech fests; Ted Kneely being the exception. he was amazing.
@@davidleavitt835 The thing with Neely is that he always sounds true, like he is emotionally honest.
Michaels rendition of this song is perfect
I Don't Know How to Love Him has always been my favorite before I fell in love with Michael Ball
Riveting music, passionate story, impeccable vocals and scoring. One of the best musicals of all time!
We did have the 2012 Live Arena Tour of Jesus Christ Superstar in the first season of The Shows Must Go On
Michael sings with his beautiful voice and heart
Ted Neely, Yvonne Ellmam and the rest of the cast of the film thumbs up 👍
Michael Ball the superstar !
Beautiful, gorgeous, talented man ❤
Michael ball simple y the best
8:27 Michael did perform Gethsemane at Andrew Lloyd Webber The Royal Albert Hall Celebration in 1998
There's a video on the channel
@@highdatalore2139 Yeah there is
Gethsemane is my all time favourite. I have seen and heard many versions of this incredible Rock Opera. Just awesome.
What an amazing episode from a great concert!))
Michael Ball is in a class by him self....
Bravo bravo!!
He would make a wonderful Jesus!❤👏
One of the best Musicals
We did have the 2012 Live Arena Tour of Jesus Christ Superstar in the first season of The Shows Must Go On
Man, my parents took my brother and I when I was like 6... I paid attention though and loved the music... Still listening age 56 ... Original album... Its all good
Amazing!!!
this was awesome! now i really must see the Jesus Christ Superstar arena concert again please, The Shows Must Go On!
Micheal Ball should do the role of Jesus in a west end production of jsc
Gethsemane by Michael Ball
I will always love the original. Sadly I lost my dvd copy in a house fire last year. 😓
Quick edit: this guy is no carl anderson but omg he's amazing!!!! 😯😯😯
Someone put it on TH-cam, I listen all the time. The original concept album is the best for me.
Oops, I was talking about the original original, with Murray Head.
@@kensiblonde4203 ya I know but there are so many ads I don't like watching it. I'll get another copy eventually ☺️
@@jenkzkh There are! Probably find the CD on eBay... I may do that.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Incredible
yess
Who is singing Heaven On Their Minds? I've not seen him before; what a wonderful voice.
I am looking for the singer of The last Suppper .. so if you know more just tell me 🙂 i was looking already for a cast overview but could not find anything
This is breathtaking.
I am breathless at the talent :-)
he has to do the phantom in Phantom of the Opera. It's time already!
OMG YEEEESSS!!!! Have you heard his version with Lesley Garret?! Just the best Phantom ever! Even the song sounds soooo hypnotizing and kinda sexy I must say. I've been wanting to see him as the Phantom for a long time ago!
Lovely presentation !
And the 2000 film was awsome.
COMPLETE LYRICS:
JUDAS:
My mind is clearer now
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away the myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be.
Jesus!
You've started to believe
These things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say.
I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.
If we go too far....
MARY MAGDALENE:
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight
JESUS:
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling.
Look at the good things you've got.
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You'll be lost, and you'll be so sorry when I'm gone.
MARY MAGDALENE:
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Think of nothing tonight.
MARY MAGDALENE:
I don't know how to love him.
I don’t, how to move him.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him... so.
APOSTLES:
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine.
Don't disturb me now, I can see the answers
'Till this evening is this morning, life is fine.
Always hoped that I'd be an apostle.
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels,
So they'll still talk about us when we've died.
CROWD:
Hosanna
Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Hey Sanna Hosanna
Hey JC, JC you're alright by me
Sanna Hosanna
Hey Superstar
JESUS:
Sing me your songs,
But not for me alone.
Sing out for yourselves,
For you are bless-ed.
There is not one of you
Who can not win the kingdom.
The slow, the suffering,
The quick, the dead.
CROWD and JESUS:
Hosanna
Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Hosanna
Hey Sanna Hosanna
CROWD (alone):
Hey JC, JC won't you die for me?
Hosanna Hey Superstar.
JESUS:
I only want to say,
If there is a way,
Take this cup away from me
I don't want to taste its poison.
Feel it burn me,
I have changed.
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 they ask of me,
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree.
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, My God,
I'd have to know, I'd have to know, My God,
I’d Have to see, I'd have to see, My God,
I’d have 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 want to know, I'd want to know, my Lord,
I’d want to know, I'd want to know, my Lord,
I’d want to see, I'd have to see, my Lord,
I’d want 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?
I have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord,
I 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!
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, now!
Before I change my mind!
I wonder why Michael bell never actually played Jesus in broadway might not have the hair or beard but definitely has the voice
Camilo sesto se lo trajo a España y fue muy grande su musical interpretando un Jesucristo superstar magistral

Fun fact colm Wilkerson was Judas in the Dublin production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Hola
I didn’t know he was in Jesus Christ superstar,that’s awesome
Michael did perform Gethsemane at Andrew Lloyd Webber The Royal Albert Hall Celebration in 1998
Didnt know MB was in JCS either... Snap

Great but who are the other artists
They were credited in the original show, but sadly not in this clip, which is an important omission.
The other artists are: Louise Clare Marshall, Louise Dearman, Ben James Ellis, Adrian Hansal and Emma Williams
Can anyone tell me who is playing Jesus in this? I recognise him and it's bugging me :P
Michael Ball, the first person to play Marius in Les Miserables
I miss Ted Neely and Carl Anderson.

Am i the only one who hears the heavy autotune at the end from Heaven on there minds
That was a different version of Gethsemane.
I guess I don't have to travel all the way to Las Vegas to see a lounge version of Gethesemane!
Nada que ver con nuestro gran Camilo sexto

why not?
Not everything about *Jesus Christ Superstar* is particularly historically accurate
It doesn't matter
Jesus Christ Superstar isn't supposed to be historically accurate tho. King Herod is literally a TV show host
Yeah, that grouping of actors made me a bit uncomfortable too. I'm hoping they were just pulled from different casts for the concert. As much as I love Michael Ball, my favorite Jesus/Judas pairing is from the series of made-for-tv musicals that ABC did a few years ago.

Who's this first Judas? Dark skin and great voice? He's amazing! ❤

Louise dearman she’s doing amazing and lovely, first actress in wicked to play both female leads of galinda and elpheba among her other credits she’s got a great cv x
If you believe in Judas
not the same
Really? No G?
He is a baritone, G isn't in his range.
@@EvilsDeathAzul Well, then, perhaps he shouldn't take on Jesus.
It's a concert, he can do what he wants. It's just a song man. A good song, but a song nonetheless
@@LevZhivaev the G is not in the original score. it was added by Ian Gillan. Make some research before being such a dlck

I guess also the arrangement doesn't help? Sounds like the ROCK was sucked out of it and replaced with an overly theatrical version. Almost like the original film tried to do but they kinda screwed up that job as well.
Anyway, always fun to hear these tunes sang from different artists but this specific group did not much move me.
It's still just a concert, not a play. I understand your point, but really, with this arrangement it would be hard to make it rock anyways.
Thank you, I agree. The others are lacklustre.
Agreed. Not an ounce of emotion from any of them. My only commendation would go to the guy playing Judas at the beginning. Michael Ball is great in parts that suit him, but he was lacklustre at best in this.
Not as good as minchin
bah
Why is this the Michal ball show? He was deffo my least fave out of them all.
