I've been watching this version of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar every Easter since 1973 when I was 7 years old. Yvonne Elliman has such a beseeching sound in her vocals.
I was a former Scholastic Collegiate Style wrestler winning two conference tournament titles. Recently got out of the Army as a military police officer in West Germany. I was a tough cookie. I heard this woman sing this song and felt tears on my face and there was nothing I could about it. It felt like relief somehow.
A transformed Mary Magdalene struggles to understand her role in the life of Jesus. The singer was Yvonne Elliman. This song was a top forty hit for her in 1971. She also landed a number one hit in 1977 with "If I Can't Have You" off of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
She had two other hits too hello stranger and love me and she toured with Eric Clapton as well
@@donnalombardo1135 she still performs in Hawaii!
It was a top 40 hit for Helen Reddy in 1971, even though Reddy's cover was nowhere near as good as Yvonne Elliman.
there's a lot of meaning and feelings behind these songs in the movie. i imagine that this is how they would all feel during jesus's ministry.
Thank you for the reaction, Faye, to this beautiful song from one of the greatest rock operas of all time!! Looking forward to your next video already!
I thought you would like it 😊. Yvonne Elliman is her name. She worked with Neil Young also. Amazing voice and song.
Eric Clapton she toured with him she had a few hit songs love me hello stranger and her biggest if I can't have you from the movie Saturday night fever with John travolta
This is from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. This is the portrayal of Jesus leading up to his crucifixion
Her performance was so good she was nominated for a golden globe award for best actress but unfortunately didn't win
I think this is maybe, the second most powerful scene from that movie/play after the Gethsemane scene with Ted Neeley. I think the Judas scene is pretty powerful as well. This performance and song are ABSOLUTELY, ICONIC, now and this lady is ABSOLUTELY, OUTSTANDING.
I'm so, so, overjoyed that you younger people are discovering and enjoying this style of music and singing. Now if only, more of you would attempt to incorporate it into modern pop, we could see a revival of great music again.
Warmest Wishes. Be Well and Safe. Out. 🙂🖐🏼😌
Mary has been changed spiritually by Jesus and is experiencing a love that transcends physical intimacy for the first time and the song is her processing her feelings while she struggles to comprehend divine love.
Yes, this is exactly it! She's staggered and coming apart. This is so absolutely moving.
To truly understand this song, you first have to look at the title of the play it was in-"Jesus Christ Superstar". Knowing that, you'll understand that the song is really about Mary Magdalene's inner struggle between her feelings for her Lord and savior (Jesus Christ), and the man, Jesus Christ. It is definitely not about a regular love affair between an ordinary man and woman.
I have seen this show many times, it is one of my favorites. From the album with Ian Gillan to the live performance with Ted Neeley.I have not seen Yvonne live, But I have seen Ted many times. What a wonderful play, I love it, I will see it whenever it it is performed in my area (NE PA), no matter who performs it.
:). Yes, Mary Magdalene torn and confused that she is in love with the earthly Jesus. I think you understand her emotions better knowing that. Great reaction as always though.
There are a number of versions of this. Yvonne was a star in the 70s - a nice voice.
I had to check, her song, If I Can't Have You, was a top disco song with her strong voice shinning.
She was the original though and she had two other hit songs love me and hello stranger
This is from the film of the musical (by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd-Webber). Mary Magdalene is singing about Jesus.
I was also afraid of the presents of Jesus, I became fearful, and in my mindset, I said , " I wasn't ready," then what little light was in the room went dark, and the engery disappeared. I heard a bird flutter out of the fire place just above my head and out into the night sky !!!. I now believe it was his spirit !!!. I resisted him because I was afraid , and wasn't ready !!!. I'm ready now but still afraid, 30 years later !!!.
Guess what? Your heart has always been ready but the mind is a hindrance. That's why you were so perceptive to the light and bird fluttering. Your brain has been very active. What did He tell us? Be still and know that I am God. Get out of your own way, friend. He never left you because He loves you. Peace.
I'm an atheist and this song is so beautiful.....She does it perfectly.
Same
So there is zero percent chance there's a God? I think the odds are greater than zero even if it's infinitesimal. Something has to be eternal. Everything didn't just spring up out of nothing.
Yes! My favorite musical/rock opera!
Yvonne Elliman is an underrated singer. She sang background vocals for Eric Clapton in the mid-70's. Plus, she scored a #1 single with the Bee Gees song, If I Can't Have You, from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Sara Bareilles did a great version of this song, too.
More than Tommy?
I forgot about if I can thave you. Nice.
@@no834 Tommy is a very close second for me!
Also she had the hits hello stranger and love me
Your reaction was as beautiful as the song.
Fay, this Mary Magdalene singing to a sleeping Jesus Christ. In this filmed musical, Mary has just started following Jesus. Mary is falling in love with Jesus in this scene, but has conflicted feelings about it as she is gradually realizing how different and special Jesus is from everyone else. This musical was written by the greats Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics). Webber/Rice also wrote "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Evita." Ted Neeley (Jesus) and Yvonne Elliman (Mary) still perform together from time to time. "Everything"s Alright" is another popular song from this musical featuring Neeley, Yvonne, and Carl Anderson as Judas Iscariot.
sir Time Rice didn't write Phantom of The Opera.
@@henrikl1394 Andrew Lloyd Webber production.
Great movie! My favorite song of all time!!!!!!!
At first glance I thought the singer was of Native American or maybe Polynesian descent, but no; in fact his mother has Japanese ancestry and his father Irish. Either way, she has a lovely voice. 🇫🇷
And she was born in Honolulu.
The Pointer Sisters 1970's next please ❤😊
Check out If I Can't Have You by Yvonne Elliman from the movie Saturday Night Fever
Thanks for this suggestion, I will
Jesus Christ Superstar the rock opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice - made the gospels come alive to me, when I heard as a teenager. Knew the story from school, but it never really made sense... this show did. Total atheist as I am, Webber and Rice hit the nail on the head. Yvonne Elliman will always be Mary Magdalene to me. Show many shows, Llyod Webber and Rice made - love them all. Madonna as Evita was probably the pinnacle. Nice one.
Mary Magdalene. Jesus cast out 7 devil's from her.
Have you listened to Gethsemene, Ted Neely as Jesus... it will blow your mind!
Mary Magdalen. Jesus cast out out 7 devil's
Thanks for sharing this
You are so cute. This is my favorite Rock Oprea. Initially, I thought it was blasphemous. Then I learned to love this. Yvonne Elliman sang so beautifully in this song.
I thought so, too, at first. Then I realized that this musical was portraying the human condition of the flesh. All of this drama encircling Christ has always existed.
Yvonne Eliman, 100% Hawaiian.
Loved your reaction...Great song/story....Gotta wonder was this how Mary of Magdelene felt toward Jesus!? Wonderful inner struggle of a prostitute who is in love (Spiritual/sexual can be looked at both ways).
The woman singing is the character of Mary Magdalene, from the Bible's New Testament - AKA the Gospels.
The sexist male hierarchy of the Catholic Church decided early on that they could not allow History to record that Mary Magdalene was a high-ranking teacher in the Christ's organization. Instead, the Church Fathers decided to portray Mary as a prostitute whom Jesus had saved from being stoned to death for the crime of adultery.
This is why Mary sings here that she has known so many men before, in so many ways. She sings of herself as a hard-headed business woman, for whom love has always been a business transaction. So when she meets a man who supposedly cares about her without wanting to sleep with her or marry her, her own heart begins to open. She sees and hears all the good that Jesus wants to do for his people, the Jews of Roman-era Judea, and she becomes confused by his unique decency and kind purposes.
Proof?
Oran, yes this was all my interpretation and understanding. Mary Magdalene is baffled about her feelings towards Jesus as she grapples with his pure love.
@@catherinelw9365 Mary Magdalene is mentioned 3 times in the Bible. Not once is she referred to as a prostitute. (Luke 8:1-3) she supports Jesus financially, (John 20:11-18) She is the first witness of resurrection and , Acts 1:14). The prostitute that washes Jesus's feet was never named as Mary Magdalene.
You are so cute. This is my favorite Rock Oprea. Initially I thought it was blasphemous. Then I learned to love this. Yvonne Elliman ithen
The King of the fighters of temptation. These fighters are only in Heaven. None here
Sure💯😍😍
react to Jesus Christ Superstar - Simon Zealot
Beautiful song, sung by the woman who I believe was actually Jesus’ wife.
I prefer her version right off the original album.
Great movie not biblical. Listen to Ted Neely Gethsemane, the best version.
