Neeley....has the drama down...one thing is to sing it and another is getting into the character . Ted Neeley...is incredible!

Every one of them are great singers! But this song couldn't be nothing without the wonderful job made by Ian. By the way, the others don't have any rock n' roll feelings. I vote for the original Jesus Christ! Mr. Ian Gillan.

Excellent exercise - thank you! . SB is a good surprise, but I agree there's a lack of edge, perhaps for being a concert version. As for Gillan, Murray and the lot, it was and still is my true and first love. My 69 album version is one of my most cherished albums.

You cut measures... and when you edit from one version to another, the beat of the music is lost. It's a little tough to listen to because there's a loss of rhythm.

Fantastic mash up! Thank you! My father was a classical tenor who had to sing Hosanna in a "pops" concert and he bought the concept album to hear the music. He hated it, but it was the first musical love of my life! I loved Ian Gillian's voice! 35 years later I now prefer Steve Balsamo (sorry, never could stand Ted) who's voice is amazing and will be for a long time because he takes care of it by not screaming 70's rock style! This was fun! and the memories sweet!

Correction:Tough to compare here simply because the version of SB is from an orchestral concert and not from the show itself. His performance in the actual west end performance was more edgy and rock inspired. Nice to see though that there are intelligent comments here and NOT just the usual tearing down of one or the other. All 3 were great. I saw Neeley in 1972 in Baltimore and he was awesome. I still listen to the vinyl with Ian and as a whole just love that work. Thanks for posting.

I listened to (at a concert by John Lord), as this Balsamo "singing" together with what that woman, child in time, still embarrassed when I think it's disgraceful!

[Grigoriygb]

What is embalmed, was doing this I may say a compilation??

All three were great, but none surpassed the original work of Ian Gillan, or his vocal potential.

[Gnomofoby]

Neeley, who was actually a drummer until he did well as a vocalist, displaying all its potential and vocal interpretation. Balsamo, despite being an excellent singer, has not the "aggressiveness" than the other two demonstrated decreased and mixed with lyricism. Balsamo only do well in soft vocals. Gillan recorded the original work, the album of 1970, when he was only 24 years old, showing the world that there was appearing a singer with an unusual vocal level.

[Gnomofoby]

But both made​three remarkable and timeless work.
