  • Love the song, hate her singing it.

  • How about emotion... we could all use that with everything we do, as long as we keep peace in mind for all.

  • the only song i dont like in the whole musical/opera

  • @MoeZwitschervogel this song took like...3 years to grow on me. i swear to god i started liking it 2 days ago 

  • @saralbruno Does it seem like thirty?

  • WWWWWOWWWWW sublime!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hihi I am new here and i can be shy and nasty too

  • Best singer ever,she as a very good voice

  • She is the best Maria Magdalena for me. Every time when she sing thid song I'm cry

  • well i am a lonely girl from the uk

  • I FEEL THERE IS A LARGE TEAR IN THE INTERPRETATION

  • hihi I know what you need...I got everything you need

  • anyone else click this link because the first 4 words in the title were awesome?

  • She's cuter, but Yvonne is better talent-wise.

  • also If u're looking for a hot cutey, don't look further, Im here 4u

  • kaunis laulu, kaunis ääni!!!!

  • This is a very good performance

  • I don't see anything wrong with this performance at all.

  • kind of humorous... I guess that means for me unbelievable? idk I was seeing too much racial aspects perhaps. Him being so "blonde!" But, that is Hollywood addressing controversy. Heck, they had Madonna waiting in the parlor...why didn't they just ask her?

  • Comment removed

  • This girl's version was good. She didn't screw up, she was crying. Yvonne Elliman's performance is a nearly impossible act to follow, that's all.

  • now, she has a pretty charming voice; but she was a little overacting. but still its a nice version; good job ^^

  • now that part at 2:45 was pretty unconvincing, I havent seen the show but she screwed it a little

  • The performance is honest and heartfelt, maybe not your preference, but genuine and commendable. Good job.

  • I think its a realistic representation of actual . However no candles /oil lamps ,

    but she plays a hooker that hates her clients , nicks their booze , money etc . How much did she charge Jesus , ? Did he pay up ? What was the going rate for a BJ in them days ? Did he get freebies ? Was it love ?

  • Disgustingly ripely...........

    No, it not Yvonne Elliman

  • She doesn't look like a Jew.

    I also don't feel that the man looks like Jesus.

  • @ChanChiMan1999 It's all been modernised rather than a traditional version of the life of Jesus. That's why they may not look stereotypical of their characters. We are currently doing this production and we are not having Jesus with long hair or anything like that.

  • @mazzmint Well said, also have to remember the original of "Jesus Christ Superstar" was never meant to be biblically accurate, it was a FUN production. . . . People need to watchthe original film to get it I think.

  • Thank you, TheAntman1265, for giving me the opportunity to laugh a little!

    I actually love this song. And I like this version too.

  • too long of a commerical. I didn't watch the video.

  • She's not very good. I've seen student performances better.

  • i love this version, i love this actress and the other work shes done. she puts alot of emotion into her work. x

  • Heres the best version.

    Not the same song though.

    Or even close....

    /watch?v=G65AnQrR5MY

  • omg it's horrible : SS

  • i don't like this version : ))

  • I dont like this perfomance, her acting doesn¨t convince me

  • It's a pale one compared to the original.very pale.

  • I have nothing against Yvonne, but Renee Castle is by far my favorite Mary.

  • OVERACTING ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!

  • Jesus Might Be Irish After All!!!

  • While no singer will ever top Yvonne Elliman's performance (in the Original Motion Picture) this is a worthy effort.

  • Oh god, they screwed over the original version big time... o.o

  • i like her.but i dont like her acting. who is the director of this?

  • in the "likes", 548 vs 39, words are not necessary.

  • Scary stuff

  • Where is the director of this? Elliman should practice for it. be more emotionally like mary magdalene.. have you ever been inlove before?

  • By far the worst version of this song I've ever heard. Screwed up.

  • I saw this on Broadway in the '70's, and I thought the '73 movie was disappointing, to say the least. Norman Jewison's vision was way off. To my taste, anyway. This version is brilliant.

  • Qu'est-ce qu'elle est belle !!!

  • The acting in this film is terrible- too rigid and silly IMO. But Renee Castle does a pretty good job of portraying Mary. Sadly, I don't think the rest of the cast is right for this opera.

  • Absolutely fabulous.

  • She does an excellent rendering of the song. Surprising since I still consider Yvonne Elliman's rendition much better, in her facial expression, body language, and even right at the end when Elliman justs sits down and watches him sleep with no physical contact. Both are good, but Yvonne Elliman seems more human.

  • She's amazing! I love this version.

  • Sajnos az egész mű történelmi alapja helytelen, valótlan,és nem tényeken alapul,csupán feltételezéseken. Az énekek nem rosszak,csupán más cselekménybe kellett volna beágyazni. "Hajbodoritó Máriának" és Jézusnak ez a viszonya szintén helytelen megközelítés. Igazán nagy zenei művet lehetett volna Jézus életéből alkotni,ha azt eredeti történelmi alapokra helyezik.

  • She is the best and her feelings are not wrong, even on the contrary - she feels every single word what she sings - that isn't small!

  • Wonderful interpretation. Magdalene, despite herself, is overwhelmed by her caring for him. Can't believe it, yet succumbs. Beautiful.

  • I absolutely love this show. I think this version of this song is pretty good though i like the version from the original film more. Please if you get a chance take a listen to my ersion of 'HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS' and 'GETHSEMANE'.

  • i know the emotion she's going for and everything but there is a way to cry/sing and still sound pretty. i'm sorry but she just sounds way off key when she sings "i never thought i'd come to this" in my oppinion.

  • @dlsprots honestly... if you think that is off key, you are crazy.

  • Nice voice, different from Yvonne Eliman! Great song!

  • art is art ok!

    

  • Compared to Yvonne Elliman she doesn't stand a chance of winning. Elliman was much more convincing in the field of acting. Ellimans voice was also more touching and sensual. But she is good.

  • @idum01 No, Elliman wasn't so touching. It is the best version of this song.

  • I also think she's gorgeous.

  • I grew up listening to Yvonne Elliman sing this song on the JC Superstar album. But this is my fave version of this song. There are some of her expressions I don't care for but some I really love. She hits that note at 2:46 when she sings, "I never thought I'd come to this." I've never heard anyone else hit that note like that and I really like it.

  • Damn...she have a really big mouth.....

  • Ms Elliman's song way before she became a disco queen, RIP!

  • @JimMLINY Ms Elliman is still alive, as far as I know

  • ( √ see the BEST Jesus video )

    click.my↓name

  • Excellent job........................

  • some pitch problems, sorry to say. Somewhat lackluster.

  • Thank you..Wonderful message, God bless. Praise Him always

  • I don't particularly see the point to compare one singer with another. The interpretations are going to be different of course. The lyrics are amazing anyway!!

  • I stumbled across this, it's truly disappointing. Unlike the original, she looked so pissed off when she's singing the part "he's a man, he's just a man", it's the part that she should have been wondering, not pissed off like a snobby little kid. The guy laying there doesn't look like Jesus either, he doesn't look anything like a guy from the middle east.

  • her voice isn't great...

  • That last whisper is so powerful...

    I love him so... :)

  • WoW great Performenc

  • @DulxeDm9 I like some songs of the second movie; this one too. But I think that everyone is aloud to make a positive or a negative comment - a comment hasn't to be only positive. Every single person has his or her own opinion, and I find as long as the comment isn't "lowbrow" it can be negative too. There is a reason, why there exist in every video a like AND a dislike button. sorry but i don't understand, why some people can't accept a opinion, which isn't the same of them. ^^

    by the way:I care

  • I don´t like this version...Movie from 1973 is realy much better.

  • Not a bad rendition. I remember liking other numbers from this production a whole lot less!

  • Just Amazing PORTRAYAL OF THE PROSTITUTE , ( This Song Is the SENTIMENT OF ALL OF US , Who COME TO KNOW HIM ),He Asked Her Accusers, Let Him Who is WithOut Sin , Cast The first stone, and Possibly The SAME ONE , Who anointed Him with the Very EXPENSIVE OIL PERFUMED, when having Supper at the House of the Tax Collector, MANY , WRONGLY ASSOCIATE HER WITH MARY Of MAGDALA ( or MAGDALEN ) this Was Possed by 7 DEMONS , Which He expelled from Mary Madalen.

  • Personally, I think this is perfect. Granted, I understand those who don't like this portrayal but in my understanding this song is the depiction of her inner conflict and in that sense, she does the song justice.

  • ciaoo ho un 1000 lp 33 giri e dischi vari generi... scarica la lista....o richiedila zanonferdinando@virgilio.it

  • @zanonferdinando .... va ben che'n fiera no se vende ma te par el caso ...

  • You assholes!, she simply gorgeous. And can sing her cute little ass off as well as act.

  • old version is better

  • The guy`s trying to sleep and she`s singing. Jesus.

  • @TheAntman1265 dont you just hate that.dear i love you too but i need to get up early so ply let me sleep

  • @TheAntman1265 hahahaha lol XD

  • @TheAntman1265 -- she is just thinking (talking to herself). best.

  • OMG she a Natural beauty. Oh and yeah her performance was great!

  • 1973 version always!!!

  • Incredible bad acting and playback.....

  • She's overacting.

  • Thanks for the upload. Words are not enough to describe the video.

  • she is great. the song is wonderful. I really love this musical.

  • She portrays anguish, which is exactly what this character is feeling during this part of the story. Rice's lyrics are brilliant. They show the complexity of the situation and of her emotional reaction to the recent events in her life.

    I love the part when she's packing her purse. It's such a modern behavior.

  • Tell you this: Ivonne's version reminds me of those great days full of optimism, love, ideals and poetry. Those days were my Sagarmatha. This Renee's version reminds me all of that as well. And eventhough I may think those days were better, present day world is fantastic, full of beauty, hope and brilliancy. This song is inmortal and this Renee's version is an undisputed proof!!!!

  • goosebumps i Say , omg have heard this song many times since yesterday, I can only tell wonderful , so gooooooooooooood celestial

  • Comment removed

  • My God!!! I have witnessed both!! Ivonne Elliman when I was a young teanager back in Boston in 1973 and now this version by Renee Castle... my goodness!!! Both are fantastic... !!!!! So beatifull...I though I would never have the chance again to listen to this incredible song so well sung until now!!! Thanks for uploading this version... thanks!!!!

  • I like the original Jesus Christ Superstar better, but that's just my opinion. But I do like the person who plays Mary in this version :)

  • I'm glad to see they Updated this.......Yvonne Elliman's version was getting quite dated!

  • The most beautiful song of my life !! I enjoy so much

  • goosebumps.

  • Fantastic performance!!

  • I am very proud to say that the singer is Miss. Renee Castle from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad & Tobago and she is excellent I am so proud of her

  • Excellent performance!! Weber and Rice hit their high point of song writing with this one. It's the music and words of this song that expose the emotions of a tortured soul. The only song that can challenge this is from the same opera, "Too Much Heaven On Their Minds." This theme is followed throughout the whole opera, culminating in the title song asking "Why?"

    The opera focuses on the relationships of Jesus with Mary Madelene and Judas Iscariot.. Much conjecture, a lot of emotion.

  • I don´t like how she plays the maría magdalena´s role,she seems hate him.

  • Jesus looks like a bum. Beautiful girl singing to him... he just rolls over. Loser - ZM

  • @ZackxMorris Since God can be anything He likes, of course He can be a simple man. And indeed He is. To get the accurate answer and face God Almighty in human form like all of us, just watch by typing in YOUTUBE SEARCH: "WE GOD ALMIGHTY" or "THE ALMIGHTY GOD WITHIN" or "GOD THE PARTNER." Do it now. Spread his WORD. Become his Partners. Practice RPR in AR. Be strong and kind. Build World Capitals. Raise the world to the next level of civilization for all to enjoy. Good Luck and be Well.

  • Lol, at 3:00 , Glenn Carter is just lying there like he's dead.

  • I agree...

  • This is an perfectly OK movie, but it moves forward WAAAY too slow. And this song is the worst song of the entire movie, it ruins the mood.

  • Bara älskar biten och är supersura järringen... Jag jobbar heller inte heller "i´branschen" för bra! (klipp lite tårarna sist bara, tror Maria var "tuggare",

    Åh - så glad jag blev höra dig!

  • beatiful

    

  • I like her

  • she's so beautiful <3

  • GREAT

  • This was a beautul interpretation...I personally love it!

    

  • I fully agree, and seen the fact that there are hundreds of ways to interpret a song this interpretation can't be wrong....

  • I dont like her singing voice but I did enjoy her acting, even though the shifts at first felt too quick I am soo mad o i am sad i am emotional i dont know what to do...its od when I did this song I just I didnt do it like this. But I love the acting in general.

  • This has without a doubt my favourite interpretation of this great song!

  • The best version of this song!

  • @TheEbonyLounge ;; U DON'T NO WHAT THE HELL UR TALKIN ABOUT.

  • She's a brilliant singer. A lot better than the 1973 mary.

  • Cooooool

  • everyone's commenting about how her emotions are wrong; but you need to take into account the fact that there are hundreds of ways to interpret every song, and she choose the way the felt right to her, no two people will ever perform the same song the same way. I personally think she gave a brilliant performance.

  • @lilmass1992 the woman in the movie was better

  • @lilmass1992 the woman in the movie was better I swear on ted neeley

  • @crackerpopskikay ummm..... this is the movie.... lol. you mean the original? Well I think both are brilliant in their own ways. They're just different/

  • @lilmass1992 exactly, everyone's going to interpret it a different way. I agree with you; I think she made some really beautiful choices.

  • @lilmass1992 Her voice is beautiful. I've seen this version a few times and there is a lot that I really like about it. I do think she overdid it in this song,but I think it is more the way she was directed,than a comment on her abilities.

  • @lilmass1992 I have seen dozens of different interpretations of this song and hers is the best by far... who IS she?

  • @TheDeebri55 I agree! She is AMAZING!!!! It's Renee Castle

  • @lilmass1992 Thank you so much, I got to get a copy of this....

  • The original is better.

  • I love this the girl has plenty of power which a lot do not, great stuff kid,

  • oh my god

  • She's perfect.

  • I Love

  • If you want the truth about JESUS and Christianity. Plz go to my website and you will see he truly is god I will prove ITwww.christisright.webs.com

  • Ouch...

  • Brilliant talent, wow. However, the whole point of the song as it unfolds, is Mary Magdalen's sudden loss of confidence and remorse - new fragility in trying to understand the change of direction in her life - according to the words, music, and progession of the original version. Yvonee Elliman captured this fragility perfectly in her performace. That was the point of the song at that juncture as expressed the opera, as being a central character. Fragility, not a rapid mix of emotions.

  • Not sure, but it could be the direction she was given. She is an actor, and actors do not usually get to just do whatever they want to. Productions do have directors.

  • This song isn't about anger. It is about the confusion of loving someone whom she knows she shouldn't

  • 1973 is better.

  • She looks like Mimi from RENT!

  • Over acting... she's not as good as Yvonne... 1973 was a much better cast and production... don't like it. Don't like the remake and she's totally not as believable. Why is he in pants anyway... Jesus wore a robe. Ya. Overdramatizing. Not the best performance I've seen. Go back to the original 73 version. Booooooo

  • @SFPrincess6969 The movie of 1973 - the BEST!!!! Great job!

  • great song, wrong singer!

  • everyone stop talking about religion. this show isn't about religion. it's about Jes.us the man.If you need an argument for Jesus being definately human, just look at Gethsemane. in the bible OR in this show

  • My sister in law took me to this when I was 13 & even tho some aspects now seem a little dated, this song in particular made quite an impression. It still does today.

    Thanks Norma T.

    Being an optimistic human being, you love truth and would like to be more rational. Explore ahmed deedat vs anis sorrosh or zakir naik vs Dr. William campbell video in youtube and judge by yourself with your God gifted conscience which one is the real truth.....

    zakir naik challenged present pope even for a live telecast debate but pope did not reply? for last 4 years! We humbly advise you to request pope to arrange such an interfaith debate.

  • Old Tesament... i puke on this!!! JESUS KNEW IT BETTER !!!

    but,Old Testament is a guide to recognize the world of spirits...

    how can you recognize what was the Gods word,and whats the word of demon in disguise,false god, caricature of Him?

  • I hate the 2000 version, the 1973 version is soooo much better =O

  • im lookin on jesus christ superstar and this pizza commercial is here... this ought to tell us something.
