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.

Michael Ball is AMAZING. That voice of his is divine.

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.

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 the superstar !

Gethsemane, by Michael Ball. 100%

What an amazing episode from a great concert!))

Beautiful, gorgeous, talented man ❤

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!

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.

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...

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.

Amazing performance, but no Superstar.

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

If you believe in Judas

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

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.
