i have to say this version of The Last Supper is better than the original Ian Gillan version, and the Superstar from this movie, the Judas sings better but the backup singers sucks although their hot, the Gethsemane i have to say Gillan is better
Ted needley is perfect for playing jesus. He just happends to have it all, the jesus looks an amazing voice.. Hes a far better actor than the others and hes does it more angry & passionate.
Sigh. I wonder why a few people don't like Neeley's take on Jesus. Hello? He was awesome here. It's a rock opera, people. And it's Jesus, on his way to his crucifixion, for crying out loud. The way these people carry on, you'd think Jesus here should've sounded like the Phantom of the Opera. He sweated blood in Gethsemane just stressing over the decision to let himself die. Neeley understood this. And he's...what, supposed to have a sugar-coated voice here? Ick.
@Flippywarrior Rock Opera set in an era with heavy funk influence.. Timing wasn't followed intentionally, it's called soul. And distuting tone? He's a drummer btw, who just happens to be able to hit the falsetto's clean.
@Flippywarrior Shut the hell up, he is fantastic singer. His timing may be pretty weird but he has good enough tone (especially on his older songs) and his voice is fucking fantastic.
@Flippywarrior It's not out of time. It's syncopation. If every note he sang were on an even beat, it would sound too mechanical and forced. I have to say that I don't care much for singers who take too many liberties with melodies, but in this case, I believe that the way he sang off-beat made it sound more natural and more powerful. Also, in some cases, there are too many words to fit into a bar evenly, so sometimes it's necessary to sing off-beat.
I saw it three times and im going again ina few weeks!! aside that hes the best person for this role, hes the best person, period. Each performances seems more powerful :)
@elmstfreddie I can't count how many times I've said that while watching the movie. When people ask what faith I am, I say I'm a Jesus Christ Superstarian.
its not ted neeley, its ted screamy.

Some times I hear glimpses of Ted's voice in Adam Lambert's. This is an example of what I mean.
LOL
I hope Adam sounds like that when he gets a little older, Neeley had the gruff rock thing down pat by a younger age, right?

@Flippywarrior - It's called being expressive. He's not trying to be "in time." That's called being a robot.
