WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Ойын-сауық

"WHYYYYYYY" Supercut from one of the most infamous songs in all of Andrew Lloyd Webberdom - Gethsemene, from #JCS, Jesus Christ Superstar. Why? because he is risen (in that he can hit that high note [some of the time]). Yes, I know there was already a JCS supercut on KZread - it was time for a new one.
Jesus is coming out of his cave, and he's been doing just fine.

Of course, that all breaks down in the slower and more emotional songs and those really show... he really doesn't know how to sing that well. Full respect to him though. I can't sing either, but unlike him, I haven't written two musicals (three if you count 21 Chump Street).

He knew he could easily do it and with emotion felt like it deserved a high pitched note. Remembering he is the lead of Deep Purple, so there are many examples of how he can make these high pitched sections.

    Yeah really, unless you're good/naturally inclined enough to hit those super fucking high falsettos with absolute PINPOINT ACCURACY, that is the route you should always take. But sadly, doing that does kind of jibe with the way the music was originally intended to be sung. Its supposed to be emulating the now-classic rock acts of the day - Led Zepplin being a perfect example - long haired bearded dudes who filled up massive stadiums with their -followers- fans who came from all over to hear & see them -deliver- play their -sermon- music live on -the mount- stage, who (often) fell victim to petty infighting within their -apostles- band, leading (in many cases) to the death of the -messiah/son of God- lead singer.

    The Gethsemane Scream is so interesting because it’s an example of how flexible of a show JSC is. You can do the scream so many ways to match your range best. For example, Ted Neely and Ian Gillian are more rock tenors and are able to hit the note with an aggressive shouty texture. Gillian even goes a bit sharp to emphasis the pain of the character. Steve Balsamo has a more extensive 3 and a half octave range and a more lyrical, pretty sounding tone, so his high notes sound more easy and light! Then you have John Farnham and Colm Wilkinson, who have powerful mixed high notes, though their falsetto or head voices may be a bit weaker, so they chose to belt the highest note they can in their mixed or chest voice, creating a very powerful sound! Similarly, Billy Porter at this point has a strong mixed/head voice and while he likely wasn’t able to hit the high G, his modification to a high F is still powerful and suits his vocal capabilities at that point in time! Michael Crawford, Michael Ball and John Legend are all Baritones and were likely unable to hit the high G in mix or falsetto, so they chose to sing the line as written originally. John Legend himself is interesting as he has a lovely falsetto sound, but the lightness of it likely wasn’t suited for that particular line. He even goes to the high G later on through modified vowels and placement near the climax of the piece, which suited that particular moment much better! In regards to Lin, keep in mind that he was a freshman in college at this point and likely didn’t have the amount of training and experience he has now. Lin has improved significantly since this show and I’d like to think he could pull this song off much better nowadays! Plus if he was the lead in one of his first shows, it shows the talent that he possessed at the time. Anyways this was longer than expected. But I found it interesting how different vocal types can modify this song to fit their different styles!

    Billy Porter's didnt sound good to my ear. It really feels like a flat tone - even if that's a perfect F, I didn't check, I'm just saying how it feels. Wilkinson is my favorite among the ones that don't go up that high G. While I understand the choice of the baritones, I think it sounds very unsatisfying, it takes away a lot of the emotion. Anyway, good analysis!

    It was a combination of things: It was his "last" performance in the role that he made famous. He was the first stage Jesus in this musical, and the one in the motion picture. (Ian Gillan was technically the first, on the album.) Ted had been sick all night and wasn't sure he could hit that note that night, but braved it all to not disappoint everyone. He had been so nice and supportive to all the rest of the cast (who were in a bit of awe doing the musical with the guy who did it all throughout the 70s and 80s, and was the definitive Jesus.) So yeah, it was emotional on a ton of levels... and then he hit that note, with that vibrato, on top of it being such an emotionally charged, iconic number... it was just huge, emotionally... and continues to be.

    Fun fact: Ian Gillan (the original singer for the concept album) actually improvised that note. He came in for a few hours just to get the album done and did that note just for shits and giggles. And everyone hasn’t been able to do it since lmao

    I'd argue that no one in theater has been able to recreate it because fundamentally Ian Gillian is a rock / metal singer and wasn't doing theater. If you got another rock or metal singer up there like Rob Halford, Tony Martin, Kim Peterson, or even Don Dokken, they'd very well beable to recreate that note.
