[annie4215]

merveilleux!

love

[veeerooniicaaa]

Muy lindo

[MARS8184]

nice voice, nice technique, but, this song is all about the head voice in the middle part of the song...if you cannot sing this part, dont even touch the whole song...its like a put off, when we all expect to hear the head voice.

still nice voice, and good luck...

[vasilisexpertgr]

very nice performance!

i come back at 1973!

[strongandfearless]

God Bless you & May the Savior delight you every day and give you the utmost joy,health & wealth of mind,these are the most important merits & grace that we all strongly need.We search for eternity not for material vanishing temptations.The afterlife is eternal whereas life has a limit & death means the death of the body but the immortality of soul.So let's all do the good and pray for peace especially in Syria after we had witnessed the most evil murders committed Vs freedom of expression.

[Oemelmuff]

I love it very much, because he can do beautiful things with his voice- but I miss the emotion- it sounds very held back to my ears- but very good non the less ! ^_^

[carpeinfinitum]

I genuinely prefer this to the original.

[aerovacer]

Lawrence you have a great voice. I wish you the best.

[Germantownmadien]

(jaw drops) This is amazing!

:D

It sends shivers down my spine, in a good way.

[Gmac62]

My favorite song from the movie and Lawrence does a wonderful job of it.

[zara2255]

Wonderful ! :)

[Mansdands]

I just love this version of this great song. So understated but stunningly beautiful compared to the usual histrionic versions. Lawrence Gray is a truly international star!!!

[Sharpbevel]

Holy cripe that dude can sing. Awesome performance. What year did he do this?

[gulf4diving]

Still rooting for you Lawrence. This is my 2nd best musical video of yours! ~ Patty

[GilaArms]

kool, his voice is very smooth and he has a lot of passion while singing

[torytompkins]

amazing voice Wow..Tory from Austin Texas. I sured do miss my musical theatre days. why on earth would 27 people dislike this? This is gorgeous

[TheJaneBailey]

Wow! What a voice!

[gablekind]

I like Lawrence's emotion, but I think he overdoes the embellishments - that way the piece kind of loses its momentum.

[123456789jklmn]

A very passionate singer....Just the way his eyes look at the audiences.  Fabulous voice. Keep up the amazing performance. Thanks for sharing

[peoplestandup]

Great video!!!!!!!!

[RitchieBlackmoreTv]

Awesome performance of this song,Ian Gillan performance is better ,but this is a great interpretation and strong vocal in his voice.I like it .

[veronykscence]

I absolutly love this song! Is so emotional and powerfull! =)

[MsEvahu]

Love that voice! But would like more "wanting" (if you know what I mean,

[fischer3x3]

Excellent video, excellent voice!

[JatneOrdo]

Gethsemane+Suit: No headvoice

btw great performance

[rcg4547]

Lawrence really you're awsome and wonderful; you got that winning voice! You won the heart & soul of your listeners with your superb singing performance!!! Bravo; thumbs up for you!

[ionamann]

i'm impressed... not in europe, not sure how to vote

[deylite2]

great,i heard the original-this was even more "emotional" than the original without the screaming...when you can do that in a ballad your great.

[simonavellino]

whch year is this beyond the barricade?

[simonavellino]

Well done lawrece =) u have a very lovely voice =]

[misstears002]

WOAH

[salizent]

I really love Lawrence Gray's voice!! This is one of my favourite songs.

[metalbass406]

Well,he's a very good singer...but I agree that if there are no screams on it in the right parts,it doesn't feel like the right song. There's that spicy ingredient missing in this performance....sorry. Would rather have Gillan,Neeley,or Balsamo singing it.

[CrewMom2265]

@metalbass406

If he's been classically trained, as my son was, his vocal coach would have a fit if he 'abused' his voice by screaming the way that Neeley does. I do agree tho, Neeley set the gold standard for this piece..

[claudiagius]

i'm in love with this voice...

[Cailindearg]

Beautiful voice

[phanlemis92]

One of the best voices of today !!!!!

[barbiiitimeeeeeee]

His voice is INCREDIBLE!!!! He's one of my favourite singers... GOOOOO LAWRENCE, YOU'RE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kpvker]

Obviously a truly magnificent performance but being a huge JCS fan I find that it is forbidden to sing this song without doing the screams. It has nothing to do with this performer he is truly amazing this just is not right. Andrea Boccelli is truly one of the worlds best singers but I would not wanna here this song performed by him. It takes a rocker to sing this song otherwise it doesn't have the right feel.

(You raise me up is perfect for Gray that's what he should be singing)

[cassiotones]

totally agree with the screaming part

[brehyda]

What an amazing voice!!! This is a really really exceptional performance! Goose bumps all over. 5 stars!!!!!

[easilyamused1111]

Wonderful performance!! Really great voice!!

[cinerest]

Aren't the notes at the end high enough? This is the "Michael Ball" version. I prefer this version and It takes alot of talent and a really exceptional voice to sing it the way Lawrence Gray does!!

And as someone pointed out earlier on, Ted Neely's version in the film is recorded while Lawrence Gray here is singing LIVE!

[sergef2007]

ted neely didn't sing the film version. he merely acted the role. Ian Gillan(Deep Purple) sang it!

[SojournerJake]

Untrue. Ian Gillan sang on the original concept album, but turned down the film. Neeley did his own singing in the film and has performed the role on stage many times before and after the film.

[sergef2007]

hmmmm....i suppose that's what I get for relying on wikipedia too much. lol. My bad!!! :)

[GKSchneider]

This is correct - Ian Gillian was too busy with touring and recording obligations and Ted Neeley, who covered and eventually replaced Ian Gillian sung the role in his place. The soundtrack was recorded some months before the filming took place in Israel - which means that the performers were dubbing their vocals.

[SojournerJake]

Ian Gillan was too busy with touring. He turned down JCS both on stage and on film. Jeff Fenholt became the original Jesus on Broadway and in the pre-Broadway concert tour, while Ted Neeley understudied Fenholt and opened the show as Jesus in Los Angeles. The film was cast largely by open audition after Gillan backed out. Neeley auditioned for the film at the last minute (having already joined the cast of Tommy by this time) and wound up getting the role.

[chrisarbor]

What?! You have no idea what you are talking about.

[KoopaOne]

outstanding, incredible performance. You can feel the pain in his voice. Unfortunatelly he doesn't even try to hit the high tones and that's why this version looses a lot against Ted Neeley's or Drew Sarich's ....

[54spiritedwill54]

simply amazing!

[allisonbrg]

qatt ma niddejjaq nisma listess diski tijak ax il-vuci vera tolqotni. proset tassew lawrence!! il-fan tijak Allison

[jasilverstone]

Maybe Eurovision Song Contest 2010???

[poetavago]

Grande perfomance!! Una voce incantevole!

BRAVOOO!!!

[tahitikim67]

Ok...I've got goosebumps too! What an incredible voice!!

[MissMaria10]

OMG...his voice is amazing. I have not heard of him. What a beautiful performance. This is one of the very first musicals I ever saw in London in 19689.

[pabs8]

Camilo Sexto a Spanish singer from the seventies and eighties rocks this song.

[woudnie]

amazing voice....only amazing waouuuuu

[tbenn77]

REALLY Great!!!

[deggimatt]

He is great and he unKnown

[PowerChord0]

Lawrence you are just great.........great ...great.Hope you will find the break you deserve in the music world.

Maria/Malta

[FINALDEATHOFMIYAVI46]

O.O that was wonderful! OwO

[lawrencegrayfan]

Lawrence Gray is simply superb!! Tonight I watched him on tv singing "Caruso" live. He was fantastic as ever!!

[Lexyan23]

Amazing... Ted Neeley will always be my favorite Jesus, but, wow, this guy is truly amazing.

[EONryo]

total goose bumps!!!

a VERY sensual man.....

[Carolynnhall]

Beautiful - great voice and persona!

[digitallydazed]

Wow! I didn't think anyone could sing that song as well as Ted Neeley. This guy's really great, though and did it justice! He gave me chills!

[Snicki1946]

Wow. He's great! I hope he's getting the recognition he deserves.

[03libertysport]

He sends shivers up and down my spine! Stunning!! Gave me goosebumps too. A very powerful singer, one that should go Platinum, if he hasn't already. I will definitely be looking for more of his videos on You Tube and hope he has an album out there somewhere.

[BluefalconJAR]

This guy is great..Awesome voice and emotion. I can't decide if i like it better sung like this or when it is sung up an octave for that really high G. Steve Balsamo sings this really well too

[Joyngldns]

Lawrence Gray has a very passionate voice. He sings from the depths of his heart. Not only is his voice very nice, but it carries passion, making it all the more exceptional. It stands out in a very beautiful way. A nice voice is not the same as a passionate voice. It is as if you can relate. (your heart to his) Being in one accord. What a gifted voice God gave him!

[sussexangel]

wow this guy needs to be heard around the world...and not just on youtube....fabulous voice and very cute !!

:-)

[cinerest]

I AGREE!!!!

[shrinkpachyderm]

amazing

[crazychickidee13]

we have a jesus christ superstar in moose jaw and they sung this song they were good but this guy is really good

[ebutuoy751]

I am Maltese and I certainly appreciate Lawrence Gray's talent!!

I love all his songs but this is my favorite. It is the song which mostly brings out the beauty and power of his majestic voice. And it takes enormous talent to sing this song as it certainly is not an easy song to sing!!

[lukellu]

he s maltese.. and the maltese don t even appreciat our maltese talent..

[crabsgetsmart]

i am maltese and i definately appreciate this

[lukellu]

Forsi bhalek ftit hawn habib.. Hawn hafna min ma japrezzax it-talent malti..bhal ma hawn min ma japrezzax il lingwa maltija u juza il lingwa ingliza biex iwassa xi messag u jghir xi affarijiet..

[Joyngldns]

Greatpotential turned me on to Lawrence Gray! Praise God! This is something that a person may not understand the depth of, until they are called by God into ministry and as they are going through the process of change into holiness, at some point that reality hits them! The called who obey will understand what it means symbolically to take up their cross to carry the torch after Jesus' likeness!

[OlHa1972]

send him to ESC next year,Malta!

[budhamalinaw]

my God...he is so great...i never thought that i could hear a very nice voice like his.!!omg!!

[nicoleayanna]

came here from susan boyle's clip....WOW is all i can say

[gowithitjoe]

Your voice is easy to listen to, all the best for a Susan Boyle experience sans Susan.........

[Spiritgirldance]

I, too, was introduced to this man via Susan Boyle's site (one of them!) and I am so very impressed! I will pass it on to all I know here. Thank you for the posting! I will order some of his music! Bravo, from Colorado!

[jewelofthemed]

I think both Lawrence Gray and Neely give a really excellent rendition of Gethsemane. However, you cannot compare them as they sing different interpretations of the song. However, both are really exceptional!!!

[lawgrayfan]

I agree. And one must also take into account that Ted Neely's version in the film was recorded while Lawrence Gray here is singing live.

[hunybunie]

Moving....He sings with soul and passion...Fantastique....BRAVO­, BRAVO, BRAVO, ...LAWRENCE GRAY!!!!!

[mediumlad]

me too :D

[kimmy1958]

wow.... have i been living under a rock? i just found his name when i read a comment someone wrote on susan boyle's clip and decided to have a look. I need to find out some more about Lawrence Gray... another STAR in the making!!!!

[bunyana2005]

same

[UndercoverLdn]

Same here.

[Stinafinan]

I also read about him on Susan Boyle's clip :p He is amazing :D

[elmerlove9]

outstanding

[karnenu]

Great performance Lawrence. We hope to see more of you.

[furbal74]

Lawrence, I wish you had been singing the role of Jesus in the performance I saw a few years ago in San Antonio, because the audience could not understand a word he spoke or sang. You have the total package. Good Luck.

[KathyClark]

So Well Done. Beautiful.

[celticangel37]

Can anyone please tell me if Lawrence has released an album, and if so what is it called? This man is incredible! I didnt think that anyone would ever be able to match Ted Neelys performance, but I have to say this is amazing. Well done Lawrence - your voice is beautiful. God Bless. x

[clo4u]

he had released an album. ma niftakarx hux single but i'll check for u ghax ghandi d-dar :) he really is great!!!

[Marente00]

Wow what a great performance! He has a beautiful voice!!

[wilzor55]

Very impressive voice indeed. I am looking forward to seeing future releases!!!

[liontigercatgirl2009]

He has wonderful voice!

[newAngy]

[yugemia]

Well done Lawrence 5 stars ***** God bless

[newAngy]

[zorrodondiego1]

Wow!! Simply fantastic!!!!

[petboyjon]

awesome voice :D

[kelyraten]

Very impressive voice and very impressive interpretation throughout, from the beginning to the end!!!! Well done Lawrence!!!

[hokeret]

Wow!!! This is really superb!! What a performance!! Lawrence Gray has such a wonderful voice!!

[amzyangel92]

WOW..

Thaks for sending this to me.

x

[caedmon211]

Very good voice, but somehow his notes somewhere in 5:55-5:56 is flat. Not so sure if it was intentional.

[husnots]

I don't know about that, but I have heard and reheard the part you say and it seems just perfect to me!!! In fact the whole song is perfect from beginning to end!!! This is one of the very best interpretations of "Gethsemane" which exist. Lawrence Gray has an excellent voice!!!

[drewarts]

I agree

[Clinton52732]

Wonderful rendition to my favorite song from the musical! TERRIFIC!

[estuans0interius]

Wow, amazing vocals! Great interpretation too. In some ways I like this version better than Ted Neeley's!

[plattform5163]

This is just great! Thanks for sharing, my friend!

[palloot]

This is not just good....It is exceptional!!! Simply phenomenal!!!!! Good enough for The West End or Broadway!!!

[klasted]

he does have an amazing voice, but it seemed too classical to me. still good though

[broadwaystud2004]

i agree... in my opinion JCS should be done just a little more Rock!

but he does have a superb voice.

[husnots]

Lawrence Gray really sings from his soul!!! This is a really incredible performance. I keep watching it again and again, I love it so much!!!

[Anjaxo]

Kinda like pop singer-ish if you see what I mean .. with all the pop riffs at the end of some of the vocals ;)

But he is incredible! Howcome i've never heard of him?! :O

xoxo

[Anjaxo]

Too 'poppy' for my liking. But WOW what a voice! Incredible!

xoxo

[RedOrDead31]

Personally i do prefer the 'rock' version, but that's probably because i'm addicted to it, ha ha.

He does have a great voice though, and a good emotion for the song i think.

[alexmz123]

He is a fantastic singer!!! I am more of the musical theater buff and love Steve Balsamo to the end. But he brought something to the plate - a great tenor voice, fantastic artistry. Oh, I predict he will make it to Broadway if he continues to sing! 5 out of 5 stars!!

[swupstik]

He's really outstanding. I wonder why he isn't more famous. Is it because he's from a small country? It's so unfair.

[palloot]

Lawrence Gray is a great performer. He is phenomenal live. I hope to see him some day singing a main part in the West end.

[brehyda]

Excelent interpretation!!! Majestic Voice!!!

[greatpotential]

I really love Lawrence Gray's amazing voice!!! I just never get tired of hearing him sing!! "Gethsemane" is one of my favourite songs....hope to see Lawrence at Eurovision next year.

[cippies07]

i just cannot understand how this guy has never represented malta in the eurovision song contest. i bet it is not 100% fair how the winner is chosen!! this guy had many good songs and never won!! he has a great voice. some times when i hear him i just wonder where that beautiful amazing voice comes from...

btw he is cute when he looks aside in 2.00 in this video :)

[LoveSixties]

Eurovision is a POP song contest. This guy is just too professional for eurovision.

[zetlamo]

is he guna do euro vision?

[nostalgia1234]

This is a really great performance by Lawrence Gray!!! Well done Lawrence!! I hope that next year you will be the one to represent Malta at Eurovision. With your stunning voice and a great song, Malta can finally win Eurovision. I am sure of that!

[tertious3]

Thanks for your point of view talentlover. This is a great version, better than MB's in my opinion. This was originally billed as a Rock opera. ALW's later stuff was very very watered down in terms of delivery compared to the original JCS. I think this and Balls version are too ordinary in terms of delivery, which kind of opposes the original concept.

[tertious3]

This is a nice version, he has a lovely tenor voice. Listen to the original version by Ian Gillan to understand how this should really be sung

[talentlover]

I am so glad you like Lawrence's voice and interpretation... However, I do not agree that a song "should" be sung in a particular way. It is true that the original version by Ian Gillan was different. Lawrence sings the Michael Ball version. Some people (including myself) prefer this version to the original rock version. It is just a matter of taste. What is important is that people appreciate each version of the song.

[ebutuoy751]

Lawrence Gray is a fantastic singer!! He is brilliant live! We are really lucky in Malta to have an artist of his calibre.... Thanks for posting this. Please upload more Lawrence Gray videos.

[husnots]

I ain't bothered if Lawrence Gray sings from musicals, ballads, pop or just in the bath at home. This guy has a phenomenal voice that brings me out in goosebumps every time I hear him!!! Well done Lawrence!!

[fuleronse]

I agree with primadonna. Lawrence Gray is appreciated in Malta. I am a great fan of his & have been following him for quite some time now. Lawrence took part in the Malta Song for Europe 6 times. He came twice 2nd, once 3rd and twice 4th. With "Why Not" he had even won the televoting. If Lawrence weren't appreciated would he have always placed well & even won televoting? I don't think so!! Many Maltese are eager & waiting for Mr.Gray to take part again in the Eurosong. He would win for sure!!!
