Poor Jerusalem

[BjarkeHellemann]

Yeah, the best version is the original soundtrack from 1970...

In my opinion.

[RosesNightengales]

I grew up with this version. :3

[gabi78209]

I Like Both Versions. But I Like This 1 More Because I Grew Up With It

[JAyala7293]

I like both film versions. They're different time period renditions. This one is much more modern and sort of Rock-looking, sort of like American Idiot meets Jesus Christ Superstar, and the 1973 is more of a Hair meets JCS.

Both great renditions tho :)

[darkmiko2003]

lol Judas is like "Dude I aint done nothing!"

[Normaslc]

pathetic compared to the original



[sorota23]

haha judas "wtf don't look at me dude." XP

[ThePhantomlover123]

ok um they didn't have guns in jerusalem at that time. seriously people you can do better than this. new costumes and props please. id sure appreciate it more

[aguyyaknow]

@ThePhantomlover123

It´s symbolic. Kind off. JCS tend to be made with a bunch of symbolism and modern day references usually.

[RayeMellyrn]

@ThePhantomlover123 JC Superstar is meant to have anachronisms. Its part of the storytelling. You'll see them if you watch the 1973 version too.

[limegreenbella]

@ThePhantomlover123 ... It's supposed to be modern. That's just how the musical is. Do your research.

[lilanthia]

0:08 'Hey woah what have I done?!'

[RosesNightengales]

Glenn Carter is Gorgeous as Jesus. He was my first viewing of Jesus Christ Superstar and I loved it. I was 10yrs old when I watched this dvd.

[aliciah10]

@RosesNightengales i couldnt agree with the first 4 words of your comment more :L

[RosesNightengales]

@aliciah10 Is that a good thing or a bad thing? XD

[MsEvahu]

And someone sung it as he had meant it...:)

[Pooternackle]

All of the people that leave in disgust makes this scene very good. It is also what happened in real life when the zealots realized that jesus had no intent on liberating judea from rome, at least not through force.

[mahtax]

@Pooternackle We totally know what happened, because we were there.

[2sidj2]

Judas: "Pff" at @0.08 :D

Loved the video, and the movie of course (:

[mattttera]

This is the greatest musical ever written, I think. I apoöogize for my english, it´s not my native language. i think it´s based on a VERY good story and a fantastic composer. Just as good as Verdi, Mozart and other great opera composers.

[mozkomolek]

oh, glenn's voice...so sensitive...he's absolutely amazing. 2000 version is better than 1973

[KrisselMajere]

Pffff xD Judas in the minute 0:08 is the best xD he's like: "wait, what? I didn't say a word" xD

[cillrcatchik19]

I saw the show live and then saw the '73 version followed my this one all in the span of a couple of days and this one will always win out for me. The casting was wonderful, the talent, incomprehensable. It may seem over dramatic to people who are used to films but that because it's treated as a stage show... what it really is. Quite honestly... where this one makes me cry the '73 version had me laughing...

[sprh60]

Why do it again? The 1973-version was perfect! This is, in my humble opinion, a sad try. Even the Dutch Volendam-version, partly performed by amateurs, is much better.

[FOZMONSTER946]

i love this song :)))

[TotallyAwsomeginny7]

I love judas's face!! he's like' hey I never said i understood!'

[aliciah10]

tony vincent is sooooo cool, glenn carter and tony r the best

[ManuelMolinaM1]

emocionant emocionant

[adam34840]

the music is great but i agree with Brachiating Ape. the cast of '73 is wonderful, Neely, Anderson and Previn seemed to be a dream team.

[ThePannKaka1]

gillian is the best!

[BrachiatingApe]

Supposed to be a new remake in the works, with Ted Neeley involved in some way. That was the word in 2008, anyway.

This version is interesting, but I frankly prefer the cast of the 1973 version. I dunno, this one strikes me as too...melodramatic, almost? And Glenn Carter is, ahem, a bit too pretty IMO to play Christ. It's still good, with a talented cast--but I grew up with the original. Maybe that just makes me biased, but hey.

[MrAizakku]

Thanks for uploading these! I left my copy of the show back in the states and had no intention of repurchasing it.

[morwenmur]

Okay, who else just loves Simon at 0:04?

[ChiaraMcD]

@morwenmur Oh YES, he's gorgeous!!

[aliciah10]

@morwenmur i love simon's face at 0.04 sooo hot

[MissWaterbaby21]

i love judas's little "hey, dont look at me" in this at about 0.08, haha :)

great vids, thanks for uploading xx

[Unagodd]

The film in the Israeli desert from the 70s along with seeing Phantom at the Curran were a large part of why I got into theatre. It's hard to see it in a way other than the classic I fell in love with, but I give much respect to the talent and the inspiration that went into this version.

[oinkmaster100]

Simon Zealotes is great in this version! he was great in the 1973 version of the film also.

[sorota23]

@oinkmaster100 who did he play?

[DanMartinNielsen]

@sorota23 Simon Zealotes is the character / Disciple who sings Simon Zealotes song.

[Drac0Alton]

This is good music first comment!
