Old or New; Jesus Christ Superstar

Poll counted on October 22,2007

Old-Winning with a whomping-136
Both/The Original Recording*-17
New-13 (aww poor new version, almost everyone hates you)

*A lot of youtubers liked either the first recording better (with Murry Head) or they liked both. I wanted to have them both, but it was easier to have them in one column becuase they techincally didn't awnser my question.
NOTE: I am asking between THESE people, not anyone else who played them. Between the MOVIES!!!!!!


So, I recently saw (well not recently any more) JCS live (it was amazing) with Ted Neeley. I have the new verion of JCS with Glenn Carter and my mom has the verison with Ted Neeley. I was wondering which one you guys think it best. I compared 5 of the actors in these films.

My personal opinion is each has its ups and downs. I have different favorites for each, but I am not going to say becuase I want to know yours.

One last thing. I really don't want people saying "Blah-blah sucks!!" or "He/She needs singing lessons." For example, if you like Peter (who is not in this) in the new JSC's singing better. Tell me that. Not the one in the old version is aweful.

Thank you to all those who corropurate. I have seen many fights on these and I don't want one on mine.

Please ignore all my spelling errors

I cannot believe that this is open for debate. The original version (1973) is much better

[mmayfield62]

With the only exception of Mary Magdelin, the original cast wins, hands down in my book.

New crew SUCK,'S

73 cannot be beaten ...that's why I went to see the film 3 times in one week and bought the album the week after....The comparisons are good maybe polished but the raw rock emotion and depth of feeling is the real deal.

Though I was born in 95, I gotta go with 73!!!!

Seriously Barry Dennen is Bitchin'

73!!!!!!!

my opinion is that in 2000 they had more stuff 2 use 2 make it look better but in 1973 it's gunna be more old fashion i do't think it's a fair debate but i would go for 2000 because i'm gunna be in the musical of it at skool and we r using the costumes 'n' music from the new one

[StonyBrownson]

73 much better

[pisforpearl]

in my opinion- the 73' cast had better voices but i like the over the top stage acting of the new movie.
