The most loyal of all Christ follower's was Mary Mag, she did not betray him like judas or deny knowing him like peter and she was the first to see him once he had risen
Oh goodness, how do I overacting. I wish someone would be in a filmed version for everyone to see who can both act and sing, not sound like a wailing cat.
I don't think this is overacted. Imagine how you would be in her position. You can't, can you? I know I can't. Besides, in theater, if you think you look stupid and are overacting, you're doing it right. c:
i... just don't get it. i watched the whole series of this version, (and the 1973 version too), i gave thumbs up for many songs in this series... but just not this one.
this is nothing special, a little bit too over acted, and out of context (since Jesus & Mary's relationship here is kinda clear already)
usually i don't compare which version is better, i like both they have their own plus and minus, but an exception for this particular song/scene, i gotta say that I like the 1973 mary better.
@lumutmenjulurrr totally agree about the overacting - i feel she ruined the song about by breaking down alot. once would have been fine. it feels like too much here. I guess if it were on stage though it would be good as you feel the atmosphere of a scene much more in the theatre then you do watching a film. much prefer the new version than the old version though :D
I must say this womas is wonderful, I rted all the comments about how she is better then Yvonne Elliman and I went back and listened to Yvonne and I must be honest that for me Yvonne is the much better singer, you can feel the emotions from her heard, she is hands over fist better then this version but this lady is wonderful also.
Totally unconvinced by both of them. They couldn't have over acted more if they tried. Castle has the most typical sound of someone who's been through musical theatre training. The whole point of this show is that it's a rock opera, that it has a rawness to it that can connect through emotion. There's no spoken dialogue in the entire show, the characters have to be believable in song for this to work. This version was uncomfortable to watch. Watch Yvonne Elliman for a truly expressive rendition
@vardoandtheboss Nailed it. That's exactly my feeling about this version. To be fair, there are some fantastic singers in this version, and I do really like some scenes in this one, but it isn't real; it's far too over-acted. I've never been able to put my finger on what it is.
Ok, i love this song. But it doesn't seem like there's a single person who can manage to sing it. Maybe it's just the sound system or something...I can barely hear her!
I love the complete rock opera in this version actually, and though I loved Yvonne Elliman in this role a lot at the time, Renee Castle's performance absolutely tops it for me. This is such a brilliant song..tears me apart completely.
Really good this. I like the other movie version more but i think thats because its the first one i saw. This is impressive though! maybe could be pulled back a bit. Anyone who has time please listen to my cover of Gethsemane.
This is probably one of the best performances of this song that I've ever seen. It's a beautiful song, but the way she conveys the emotion is astounding!! I mean, if you think about it, it's confusing for any woman to realize that she's falling in love with someone...and she's falling in love with the Messiah!
I love this song.. it's so moving.. my late mother was a very god fearing woman and also loved this song. I just stumbled on this video almost by accident.. tell you the truth I am typing this with tears in my eyes.. I really miss my mom..
@hayabusabart May your mom rest in peace. When the time comes you will see her again. Maybe then I will meet you too, someone who 'feels', too many people lately DONT feel a thing in the world and thats part of the problem lately.
Thanks for sharing this and allowing comments too. I do know how to Love Him, I pray everyday for Knowledge of His Will for me and the Power to carry that out. I get good answers to my prayers. I love this song. XoX
Why did they choose a white guy to play Jesus? The actor they chose is almost blonde, with very light skin! Jesus was a Jew from the Middle East, He probably had dark hair and medium dark skin. The actor just doesn't look like Jesus Christ to me. But then again, this musical is not an accurate portrayal of Him, so why should the actor look anything like Him? BUT I STILL LOVE THIS SONG!!!! And this is one of my favorite versions.
@kavtoM There were several black men mentioned in the book of acts who were important figures in the church....though nobody knows the races of the apostles. I just think seeing a blonde Christ is funny.
I personally can't see what everyone else is seeing, to me her voice was nothing special, in fact it seemed so jerky because of the emotion she was trying to portray, which I also thought was completely ott. I understand its a really emotional song but I think if it were done with more subtelty it could be so moving, i just found this portrayal quite annoying to watch to be honest, anyone else agree?
In my opinion probabbly the best version of that legendary song- that girl has perfect voice and, what is even more attracting, she puts whole heart and a lot of emotions into performance. I wonder what has happend that Renee didn't develop her career somehow??
It is a really nice sounding song.... but it sounds too much like Mendelssohn's violin concerto 2nd movement. so much that I wouldn't doubt that the composer was listening to it while he was composing this nice ditty.
I have heard many versions of this song. None of them including this one compare to Yvonne Elliman's. This girl's voice is unremarkable and she overacts. Yvonne Elliman's voice and tone nail both the emotion and vulnerability of the song and her acting perfectly captures the theme of the song without overdoing it or seeming like she is trying too hard.
hes definitley a heavy sleeper, remeber when he slept through a strom while he was on a boat, then the apsotles came and got him and were all like "woah. Jesus, the waves man!" and He was all like "you have no faith" and he went back to bed and the waves stopped
Of course he is. I understood her lines like this: She knows very well that he is special, not only because she fell in love with him, but also because he is no ordinary human in general. But since she's afraid of her feelings, she tries to play them down and convince herself that it's all just foolishness.
hayabusabart: Watch the video sing along and enjoy the feelings you get and the emotions you get from it! It's what I do!
