I wrote the very first Amazon review for Corey Glover's one and only solo CD. I even mentioned that he sounded like the guy (Carl Anderson) who played Judas in the Jesus Christ Superstar. Guess what? That was way back in 1998............I must have had a premonition!!!!!
-
Corey's melismatic delivery (@ 2:52) of the line, "if we go too far" gives me chills every time! I keep replaying it for that feeling...an actual physical reaction...fascinating.

@stitch99 He is a fantastic singer, check out "Open Letter (To a Landlord)" and "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" to hear some great vocals by Glover.
-
I think this guy's a good singer (granted, I don't know much about music), but he doesn't put much emotion in his words.

I'm a huge fan of corey glover, but im sorry, this is terrible. He is trying wayyy too hard. The random pitch changes dont suit me too well. Not to mention, on various parts he sings about an octave higher than whats supposed to be there, and it doesnt sound right at all. Stick with Living Colour corey

@theanimal6592 No worries. I learned something new. I even found a few YouTube clips of Murray Head singing JCSS. Though, I have to say my fav is still Carl Anderson.
-
@sirReginaldFartsalot Well I mean, you're right in the sense that Vereen was the first to play the role on Broadway. But in terms of being first to ever sing it and in doing so, setting the standard, it was Murray Head.
-
@theanimal6592 I stand corrected. Clearly my Wikipedia skills need work.
-
@sirReginaldFartsalot Wrong. Murray Head originated the role and is the best Judas to this day.
-
@badkitty1969 - Actually, Ben Vereen 'originated' the role when it started on Broadway (before the movie). But Carl Anderson did nail it though.
YES! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the orchestra was SERIOUSLY lacking for this production. Nothing worse then synth strings and horns.

I don't understand the complaints. Corey is fantastic and he interpreted this song his own way. I loved Carl but Corey is not Carl. It's always interesting for me to see someone new take on this role with a different passion.
