Balsamo is suh a great performer, but what the hell is the conductor doing here - It's soooooo slow and lifeless!!! Nothing beats Balsamo's live performance at Ahoy, Holland in 2004 which is on here too...

I agree, this is a slow tempo. But I still feel that Steve BECOMES Jesus. I feel his anger, confusion, anguish etc. Steve is the ONLY one that convinces me he is JESUS when he sings this song. I also like Drew Sarich's interpretation, but it's a little too "angry Jesus"...

steve balsamo is a very good singer..ted neeley is better(he can still belt out this piece even if he's above 60's now)..my opinion..no offense to anyone here..

[lumbiaknight87]

it's pitch not pich..i know this is an oversight.

@lumbiaknight87 sorry but pich and range are not opinions, they are very true and concrete facts.

[lumbiaknight87]

@arcuz92 i have my opinion, you have yours. thank you. no need to use any words that can start an acrimonious debate and wasted exchanges.life's too short for such travesty.

have a pleasant day and keep on jammin' and singin'.

@lumbiaknight87 I don't have time for your karaoke bullshit, I just pointed out you're using words you don't know the meaning of, so please stop talking bullshit about pitch and range, 'cause you were just completely wrong.

[lumbiaknight87]

@arcuz92 :))that's just my 2 cents so to speak..i think i know (modesty aside)something about pitch and range..check my cover of roy orbison's crying using just the voice recorder of my iphone and in one take..(modesty aside again)..

[arcuz92]

@lumbiaknight87 You don't even know what range means, Steve hits the same high notes Neeley sung on the movie. Just because you watch american idol doesn't mean you are an expert in music and singing, stop filling your mouth with words of which you don't know the meaning.

[lumbiaknight87]

@F1KillerQueen :)) your words not mine..TNeeley's album/movie version is incomparable..Steve B is a very good singer (but he can't hit that highest note like Ted Neeley...few singers possess that range..Mariah Carey too)..stage presence, body, language and facial expressions..yes..it is..

[F1KillerQueen]

@lumbiaknight87 I always thought Ted Neeley was Jesus, then I heard Steve sing this song. Then WWOOWW!!! Steve beats Ted Neeley hands down..
