There is no other Judas. Others have been very, very special in the role, but this is Anderson's role. He was so special. RIP
The whole movie was his movie!
Couldn’t agree more. ❤
True that role was made for Anderson.
Yes.
Except they had to make him black.
Didn't they?
To infer that black is bad.
And Jesus white.
As in white is good.
Neither are correct.
Where as if he did exist.
He would of been brown.
It's quite despicable the way they predictively program the masses.
This way.
Amazing performance though.
No other Mary as well
Jesus and Judas handclasp is heartbreaking
God yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gets me every time.
It’s like the last time they are brothers. As soon as they release, their fates are sealed
Jesus seems to certainly know what's happening...
They way they stare at each other, while Judas leaves is haunting & heartbreaking.
I was obsessed with this musical as a kid. Every now and again I revisit. Never gets old.
It was a turning point in my life too. I still know the entire show off by heart.
Me too. Bought the CD and DVD. I know every word.
So was I
I switched the mo a t of anyone rock opera 3:29
Same as myself. Likely your age now 60 .parents took me to the local U play
Yes, 60. That was a magical time for people our age. We were at that traditional turning point in a kid's life: 12. What great inspiration we had in the popular culture despite the or because of the turmoil of the times.
I love the look on Judas's face when Jesus tells him to be thankful to have a friend like him cause he won't be around for forever
Carl Anderson completely stole the show in this musical. He was exceptional, way above the rest (which were very good, too)
Me too!
@@adrian5b I love Tim Minchin, but Anderson is completely magnificent
It was brought up in an another channel. It's like when two friends hit an impasse knowing they've reached a point where they don't see the same path anymore. Carl, Ted and Yvonne were perfect.
It's not just that, in this moment Jesus is telling Judas that he is destined to die as part of god's plan. You can see the profound understanding on Judas's face as Judas also understands his grim role in this divine play. His expression conveys sadness, adoration, and awe at the almighty all at once while Jesus is stoic and statuesque, just as we're used to seeing him in paintings after his death. All of this is meant to convey to the audience that both Jesus and Judas have vague understandings that their lives are not their own, but part of something bigger that will kill both of them for the greater good.
Without the Mary Magdalene/Yvonne Eliman songs there is no Jesus Christ Superstar.
The concept album, Broadway, and the movie, along with Barry Dennen ⭐️
Here performance is inspired. Hardly the person there seems to be acting at all. She has become the character.
@@prbprb2 Later she sang If I can't have You for Saturday Night Fever and that went #1. A great singer and in this case as you said an inspired actress.
Yes. And The Sacred Union Of Our Divine Masculine And Feminine Energies.
She is so amazing. And still alive.
No special effects, no green screen, no crazy costumes, timeless, gorgeous cast, this is probably the best way to teach about the story in90 min, & the music is contagious
Maybe a few crazy costumes…and definitely of its time ;)
As Olivier said to Dustin Hoffman-
"Try acting".
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar Has to be the greatest musical for all time.
Eh bien moi je crois que la plus grande comédie musicale est "Bernadette de lourdes", en français et maintenant z' italien... La troupe est tellement brillante et le spectacle si beau (beaucoup plus intimiste et historique) doit partir pour Broadway.
@@anne-lisebouvier128 merci, if Bernadette of Lourdes is anything like the movie "Inglorious Bastards" than i will have to take a look.
@anne-lisebouvier128
That was not about which was the best musical .. It’s about the best Version of Jesus Christ Superstar !
Trust a French person to say the greatest musical ever happens to be French is funny to me 😂😂😂❤
The power of the voices of Carl and Ted are strong enough to blast a mountain away, Yvonne got the voice of an angel....There's not a single song in this masterpeace that doesn't blast me away.
Such great voices are almost impossible to find today.
Herod?
@@anthowell all amazing!
I dont understand Jesus' response. Its as if he's saying there's nothing to eliminate poverty so just be thankful youre not poor
@@boxelder9147 He's saying that they can't save all the poor, there will be poor always. They don't have the resources to save them all. Don't agonize over any amount of luxury you have, look at the good that you've got.
You could donate your money and volunteer your time to help the homeless. But don't put yourself into more poverty just because poverty exists.
@@boxelder9147 It sounds like you understand his response quite well... maybe you just don't like it? Or maybe you aren't comfortable with the idea that Jesus would express that kind of sentiment? I'm not sure he was saying "be thankful you're not poor', because they *are* poor, and that's his point: they don't have the resources to 'save the poor', no one does because poverty is an eternal part of the balance and structure of everything, and when you've got the son of God hanging out with you for a short while, maybe your thoughts and movements should be focused on gratitude and mindfulness rather than pipe dreams and the cost of ointment. That's my take, at least!
Yvonne Elliman has a lovely voice
It's beyond that
@AllMedia5 I would.
Gorgeous
The 70's: my bro and I listened to this album, knew the lyrics word-for-word
2024: nothing's changed. The album is still epic
Same for me. Fun fact we all grew old 60+ while Ted Neeley at 80 looks younger than most of us, as if his role of jesus preserved him pristine
I was fourteen, and like you, memorized every song too. Got a girlfriend just by singing along to the whole album on a long road trip. By the end of that trip, she was mine! Still memorize them.
I was one of the main dancers in this beautiful work, many moons ago when I was 21. God is my life!
Yay how special was that 🥰
And you are a hero to me. Good job well done Moira
Yay how fantastic x
Really?
A part of a cult movie, then.
In movie history.
In music history.
Watching you for 30 years and more I guess. What a movie. Well done you all. I hope it was a great experience for you.
Jesus Christ Superstar introduced Jesus’s story to more young people than any church could want. Fantastic soundtrack. Magnificent rock opera
SUSAN INMAN: WOW! You are SO VERY RIGHT about that!! Thank YOU for pointing this TRUTH out!
Oh, and JUDAS' look on his face when his hands and JESUS' separate is SO heartbreaking; as if he already knew he was going to betray JESUS and therefore, he was already regretting doing so, even BEFORE he had done it...
10000%
The Kingdom of God is already within you.
Doubt it not.
I love the musical but i am as atheist as they come
JCSS was part of my journey out of religion tbh, Judas' commentary raised many questions as a kid and as an adult I can't help but notice that Jesus didn't really respond to Judas' criticism 😅
I always get choked up watching this scene. The intensity between Judas and Jesus is beautifully heartfelt. Ted And Carl’s exchanges are like no other.
Would you know if that's Ian Gillian singing Ted's part? or is that really Ted?
Yvonne's voice is also important here. Great song. Perhaps consider what her voice contrbutes to this dialectic and scene.
Yes, I get choked up too!
Agree. I grew up listening to this soundtrack and always listen to it fully a few times a year but, weirdly, have never seen the movie itself. Watching this scene between the actors adds a whole new layer and meaning to what's being sung. When Jesus says, "... Think while you still have me. Move while you still see me. You'll be lost and you'll be sorry when I'm gone ..." the look on Judas' face reveals a dawning realization that Jesus knows something he doesn't -- that this is all coming to an end very soon.
The thing that I really like about Ted Neeley's response to Judas (Carl Anderson) is that he was teaching and he remained compassionate. Every revival I've seen with this song has Jesus getting sort of annoyed or angry and I don't think that's him.
Yeah I feel like Jesus' response to Judas is rather out of character
@@willkelly9726 Mary Magdalen is anointing Jesus in this scene since she won't be able to anoint his body at the tomb. Jesus is omniscient & would be annoyed that Judas - of all people - is begrudging Mary of this honor - being that Judas will be the person to betray Jesus & lead to his death
@@sgabig ok that makes some sense. I just always thought the line "surely you're not saying we have the resources to save the poor from there lot, there will be poor always pathetically struggling, look at the good things you've got " seemed out of character like Jesus was deflecting what Judas was saying. As if to say "Why are you complaining that Im not using the money to help the poor, be grateful for what you yourself have and shut up."
@@willkelly9726 That lyric is a close paraphrase of the Bible - I always interpreted that line to mean you will & should always serve the poor but that Jesus 's earthly ministry was short so Judas should focus on learning as much as he can with the time available. I didn't interpret the line to mean you should never help out the poor. I guess to be anachronistic Jesus was asking Judas to multitask
You make a great point. As much as I love the Arena Tour of this show (with Ben Forster, Mel C, Tim Minchin...) --- I noticed exactly what you said... Jesus became very annoyed with Judas during this song, and never showed the compassion that is seen here -- which is very touching and effective. Nevertheless, I think Ben and Mel C did incredible jobs in that production, compared to the numerous revivals of the original that followed.
Carl Anderson is just mesmerizing... in fact they all were... just Beautiful... Carl and Yvonne should have gotten Oscar nominations... Just stunning presence.
Both wonderful. Carl not receiving an award for this performance is only compensated for by the fact so many viewers/listeners know just how good he was.
100% should have been nominated
I love how "Everything's alright, yes", begins sounding soothing, but gradually starts to become almost frantic sounding. In the beginning, it sounds like people trying to soothe Jesus, but in the end, as we see Jesus's solemn expression, we see that he knows the horrible fate that's coming and this soothing chorus starts to become the menacing chants of well meaning fools, trying, but failing to soothe a tormented man.
I cried so much during this movie. I was moved was never the same after watching this movie. I was 14 years old at the time.
Love loved the songs. I bought the soundtrack.
It really bring Jesus alive in a whole new way, doesn't it? The incredible rock music score made him seem so much closer It was such a brilliant idea!
There is no other version of JCSS. This cast right here IS JCSS. They cast everyone perfectly. This musical is my Soul. I can't even put into words how much this musical means to my family and I.
I am totally poor and homeless i mean i don't have a penny to my name but this song and her voice does just what she says it helps me relax and forget but like the man says i will always be poor but hopefully not forgotten. Good night to you all
Hope you’re ok brother
Yeah, when I heard there will always be poor, pathetically struggling, it caused me to rethink God and existence. It seems like some fall into wealth, live long enough, then inherit it while others are born into homes that rent from slum 'lords'. I do believe Jesus(Yeshua) punched through this dimension to tell us the GOOD news that we truly are spiritual immortal beings trapped in this material spiderweb. Poor, wealthy, if you believe you are more than the flesh, then you truly are NOT poor.
I don’t know where you are but your not forgotten x
Pistons only have power when they are going down. When you are in the gutter, the stars can be bright. Hitch your wagon to one of them! The tree of Life was in the Garden of Eden before and after Eve came along. God ONLY forbid Adam from eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Not the Tree of Life. You are already eternal, my good spirit. The overwhelming pulse from the Creator God is Love. Love. You are loved. You are loved. You will never end as Adam obviously sampled all the trees he was allowed. The Roman Ceasar suppressed this knowledge. This is what insecure tyrants do throughout history. Look up the Nag Hamadi Library online, it will open your heart and if you have ears, listen...
God bless you ❤️
this song is unbelievably beautiful. you dont hear complex melodies like this anymore
Yvonne Elliman's voice. Carl Anderson's voice. Ted Neeley's voice. 🕊
Thres bigs actores.
@@marlongoncalvesdias502 🤩
I would sing this as a lullaby to my daughter.
I sing this every night to my 8 month old.
That: "WOMAN, YOUR FINE OINTMENT" part would wake her up I can imagine :D
I wanted to sing this to my baby if I were blessed by children
I have sung this to my daughter every night. She is nearly 10.
Me too, she's 15 now!!!
So,as ICU RN, I used to sing the 1st part of this to my patients, when they were on vents,Covid,etc,very sick. My dad was obsessed w/ JCS when I was a kid. Now he's in the hospital & I'm singing it to him.😮
♥️
Thank you so much for doing that...for offering a little kind humanity when people were desperately afraid.
Thank you for your humanity - I too was an ICU nurse, sang, and reassured them - " you are doing this once, I do this every day, I won't let anything happen to you. "
Yvonne Elliman is an icon. Her voice is so beautiful
I remember watching this in 7th grade music class and holding back tears. Nothing in my Catholic school upbringing had ever made me feel a remote sense of connection to the story of Jesus as this movie did
Same. Went to a catholic school from kindergarten thru 8th grade. Had nuns for teachers, religion for 1st period everyday. And even then to me it was all bullshit from a very young age. Saw this in 7th grade(1993). And nothing came close as this to getting the message of Jesus across. I'm agnostic, but if any of Jesus' teachings are rooted in truth, this absolutely nailed it.
Not sure why after watching this over the course of 40 years this song becomes more and more emotional. It’s directed so well and the look in Judas eyes when he embraces Jesus is heart pounding.
His expression in that moment is mind blowing.
Totally agree with you brother
Yes it's incredible. I guess it's like a fine wine
It is very moving isn’t it , you can feel the pain and conflict in Judas as he loves the man but can’t go along with his thinking any longer ,watching everyone raise their arms while he is totally excluded and separated is painful to watch . I’m not a Christian or believer but expression of the story and quality of the singing and acting that evokes so much pathos and tragedy touches me deeply and I’m sure so many others . It’s a genius piece of art
How on earth, with all due respect, can you see this (knowing fully well it actually happened, and not be a Christian??? 😢
Jesus is still alright with me 😊
I'm glad I'm not alone in my absolute love of JCS - and this is just one of the best; very hard to put a musical on film and capture the emotion but they did it. I saw it yesterday in Little Rock and the cast was also just excellent. I've listened to it a thousand times and seen it live X 20 and I always get choked up. Nothing Andrew L W & Time Rice ever did even remotely compares to JCS. It is their masterpiece no doubt. There is not a weak song in any of it.
Most versions, Mary only sings to Jesus. But here she's singing to Judas too... telling them both to keep calm and keep a cool head.
Women are sidelined in his story and here we have a bold rejection of that storyline
The acting between the two is so excellent here, and I love the way it’s shot. Closing in on Jesus preoccupied about his fate while everyone is telling him “Everything’s Alright” while it fades away is so incredible
I. Adore. This. Scene. You can see the love of Jesus. You can even see the love of Judas! There's so much going on here. ❤
This is perfection. The singing, the acting, everything is more than alright!
One of the most dramatic film scenes ever. The look between Jesus and Judas at the moment of their break.
All of these talented actors.....Yvonne Elliman, Carl Anderson, Ted Neeley.....legends.
Judas's face when Jesus grips his hand. Something so profound, such a visceral realization, the ticking clock on Jesus's life. What really matters is now.
Judas' face as he realises "this guy annoys me. I love him. He is great..but he's gotta go". The revolutionary's dilemma.
Brilliant summary! ❤
Judas lives on in infamy and his name means "deceit". He gave up paradise for eternal fire.
More of they have different approaches to the same problem. It's like two friends having differences, you respect the other person, but you think he's making the wrong moves. Both are trying to get them to see.
I always wonder if Judas realised that he was destined to betray Jesus to fulfil the prophecy, and that in this moment Judas is meant to understand that Jesus knew this and showed him love and compassion anyway. I see the look on his face as a moral dilemma “I’m meant to betray this man, but I love him so much that I don’t want to. But if I don’t, mankind can never be redeemed.” Late to the discussion, but I love listening to this song and seeing other people’s views on the little nuances in the movie.
I don’t think that’s what he’s thinking, he realizes how much Christ loves him, he realizes for a moment how lost he and everybody else will be… At this moment he’s not thinking about getting rid of him… That’s some new modern age bullshit thinking
2:25 You can see in Judas' face he realized what was going to happen. He knew what he must do, and that he was supposed to do it, Jesus wanted it. And he was sad, he knew Jesus was going to die and he really felt the meaning of it
I had this in my head ..
We used to sing it at school ❤
Yvonne Elliman. She wasn't a well known singer when asked to play this part but she became something of a star herself afterwards.
This musical for me was the most pivotal in my life as a teenager and completely cemented my love and faith for Yeshua. I saw it at the Universal amphitheater with this original cast Ted Neeley, Yvonne Elliman et. al. I still love to listen to the songs from time to time and they still make me cry.
Am I the only one that noticed just how much presence this Jesus has
Yvonne's voice is incredible
Carl Anderson is making go team judas over here- gosh i have to rewatch this every few years just to remember something so beautiful exist
Yvonne Elliman's voice is spectacular. 😉
I love them. Carl and Ted are both so powerful. Ben Vereen was great as Judas, but Carl owns the role. I’ve never seen anyone do as well as Ted does Jesus. Yvonne was untouched for 45 years!
I'm Jewish and play this soundtrack all the time - one of the best movies and soundtracks ever
I'm an ateist,but became nearly a believer when I saw this movie . If the Bible is the thrught, this movie is perfect!
I was reading TH-cam comments under a song from Aretha Franklin’s early 70s gospel album “Amazing Grace,” and someone who identified themselves as a Muslim said they loved the album and played it all the time.
@@kittykatz4001 it's a great album. The movie soundtrack only, there's a bunch of others. The movie is pretty neat too.
Surely we're allowed to appreciate art from other cultures. We don't have to be Hindu to appreciate George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord."
@@erinoriordan9808 George Harrison worshipped death
As an atheist, I greatly enjoy not only this song, but JCS overall.
Then get on board Jesus knows u and is waiting for you
@@catherinekammerer7094no thanks, I feel no need to indulge in religious delusions.
yep, one does not need a divine aspect to feel transcendence
It is beautiful. I am Atheist as well and it is so glorious and compelling.
@@catherinekammerer7094No thanks
I HAVE INTRODUCED THIS TO MY GRANDBABIES AND THEY LOVE IT . . . 50 YRS LATER AND THE IMPACT OF THIS MASTERPIECE HAS NOT DULLED ONE BIT.
That's a really lovely gift. So glad you could bond with them over this.
Your grandkids have good taste
This movie was touched by Holy Spirit. It’s beyond incredible ❤️
This is a wonderful lullaby to sing for kids ( minus Judas)Only the woman’s part ofcourse ❤
Yvonne Elliman is the greatest
Almost 50 years old, still spectacular!
This scene is profound Jesus has been away from man for 2,000 years and we are truly lost without Him - the world longs for your return Lord
This song is written in 5/8, which is the same time signature as the famous jazz piece, "Take 5". It is one of the most difficult meters in music, and yet this was masterfully written so that it just flows seamlessly for the vocalists.
And the singers... WOW! They cast this film brilliantly. All of them were amazing singers!
Ted Neely still brought the single best singing portrayal of Jesus interacting with Judas in one of the most beautifully dramatic moments in all the years JCSS has been brought to the stage/screen.
Ted Newly and Carl Anderson are the heart of the film. Yvonne Ellman is the soul of this great film.
The incomparable Carl Anderson. Magnificent. And this moment between Jesus and Judas is so brilliantly filmed. The point is made to great effect as one reveals the future, and the other realises it.
Fan of musicals forever. Carl Anderson Judas spectacular. As good as anything I've ever seen 50+ years
This movie was an absolute Masterpiece!
Still is
This cast will always be superior for me, never seen or heard better❤
Carl Anderson was THEE STAR of this production 👍
Yes, a big Actor.
Glad to see others hold this movie in high esteem as I have for fifty years
Me too!! This musical changed my life. I was never the same after. It moved me so much. I was 13 years old when I saw it for the 1st time in 1973. It was a time in my life where I needed some change, somehow from somewhere. It was here.
Yvonne has the voice of an angel.
This cast is beyond amazing.
I saw Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976 in London’s West End when I was a kid and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. I’ve never been religious but this musical moved me.
Anderson though what a performance
Yvonne elliman as well
This song has resonated with me for 50 years. Close your eyes and be at peace. Beautiful.
That monent when judas and jesus clasp hands with Yvonnes singing.
Jeez.
It’s so impactful
It's so strange, when you view Mary's song through the eyes of a lover it feels off, but if you look at it through the eyes of a worried mother it makes sense
I absolutely hear this through the eyes of a lover. She’s a calming balm trying to relieve in the midst of pressure from life (represented by Judas)
I sing this song to my own lover (fiancé) when he is worried. Is not the role of a significant other to be the voice of reason, calm and quiet in the storm of our loved one’s lives?
What a voice Karl Anderson has
Brilliant film making
I've always found the repeating end chorus to be almost hypnotic.....putting one into a sort of trance of calming peace. This song is mentally intoxicating.
Jesus has no business looking so good
We must be from the streets yikes
Neither Judas, or Mary..
Yvonne Elliman and Lynne thigpen (godspell) best female voices ever
Carl Anderson and Yvonne Elliman are amazing
wow that is not auto tune....they are blasting those vocals...all 3... love
Talent, training and belief in the music.
All great singers know these are the foundations that no auto-tune program can recreate.
One of the great things about JCSS, is that it humanizes all the characters, they don’t include the miracles/supernatural stuff, they focus on a man just trying yo make the world a better place and his followers and the disagreements between them, as well as the complicated political situation at the time with Judea being occupied by the Romans
It just makes it so that everyone, religious or non religious can really appreciate the story which itself is a beautiful and tragic story
Each of them are perfect. Mary’s love and caring. Judas’s commitment and obsession with charity. Jesus’s piousness and influence. A wondrous moment.
I've always been fascinated with this movie. When I was a kid back in the 70s my sister would say, You're watching that movie again?! You watch it every time it's on!🙂
What a beautiful man, Carl Anderson 🥺😔
Love this song ,and when Judas hits that note wow
I listened to the other versions of this song..... yeah this is by far the best and strongest. John Legend held his own, but Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson! Yes Indeed
Norman Jewison knew how to get the most out of his actors. The RAW and beautiful talent of all the actors still holds after all these years. I saw this originally in the movie house when it first came out. Just wonderful.
I was a young Christian when I saw this in the 70's.. Even though I'm now an atheist, I still enjoy this musical today.. it never gets old..
why you lost faith?
Jesus is waiting for you to come home to his open arms
Best musical, ever!
歌声の強さ！何十年も前に映画を観た時の感動が、全く色褪せずに蘇りました！！
What I love most about this song,
well firstly, despite what Mary is pleading, Jesus does not, or can not, close his eyes,
but what I love is that at the end of the song, it becomes almost mystical chantlike.
Brilliant just Brilliant
Timeless Classic ❤
This version is the best!
The acting in this scene by both Judas and Jesus actors is extraordinary.
This is really an amazing voice battle. The three of them had a stunning voice
Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is inspired. Mary's melody - with lovely chords, mostly major chords - is sweet and in a downward, descending, easing motion. Then Judas's, and Jesus's melodic lines are ascending and aggressive, challenging, the chords in the music, bold and solid - suddenly attacking in the natural minor of the tonic. Feminine, Masculine. Major, Minor. Amazing contrast.
This song and the way its sung is like a bath of warm honey for the soul
I was 14 years old and in Junior High. The band director came in and asked to speak with me. Seemed the Junior College was putting on this play and needed a drummer for the orchestra. I was so honored to play for 3 weeks.
Every year around Easter I watch this scene. It always brings me to tears. The greatest scene ever registered on film.
This one is my favorite song from this musical. I love the way Mary Magdelene tries to soothe Jesus.
Ugh, so hard to pick a favorite
One of the most beautiful scenes of Jesus Christ Superstar!👏🔝❗️😍
So special❤ back then. Yvonne❤
Think while you still have me, move while you still see me
People who are hungry, People who are starving, They matter more than you feet and head
If only more modern "Christians" felt this way.
I wonder if this superb and unreachable trio was aware they were performing one of the most iconic scene ever, a masterpiece both musically and cinematography…
