'Everything's Alright' John Legend & Sara Bareilles | Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert | TUNE

[@desmail]

I’ve been listening to a dozen versions of this for over 50 years. To date, my favorite version has always been Yvonne Elliman from the 1973 film, followed by Agnetha Faltskog singing it in Swedish. Hold my beer. Sara Bareilles blew me away. She just crushes this. She is so talented. Wow.

[@jschapp77]

Her voice is so beautiful.

[@thefilmwatcher1216]

Sara Bareilles was fantastic in this.

[@DeborahBauer-e9e]

Wasn’t she? Such talent!

[@soyevquirsefron990]

I am an original fan but I liked her equally but different to the original. I don’t think Jesus and Judas were as good as the original

[@tomace4898]

She was brilliant!

[@GoodMrDawes]

What an awesome cast and production. She is a great Mary

[@jschapp77]

Sara bareiles is beautiful and melodic.

[@PatrickBijvoet]

Sara Bareilles is amazing! What a beautiful voice! She knows how to touch her audience.

[@cazia9]

For my money, Sara's voice is the one that best emulates the OC Mary Magda, Yvonne Elliman

[@ke11yke11z]

Mary magdalene was shining through Sara that night. 🕊🕊🕊

[@frankievalentine6112]

I'm gonna say it. Sara is my favorite Mary.

[@ShatnerLover]

I agree! Yvonne owned the role for 45 years but Sara owns it now. She was also probably amazing as the Baker’s Wife in Into The Woods. I want to see her act more!

[@alikaandrade3435]

That’s absolute heresy. And correct lol I totally agree.

[@bernardsoul5186]

@@ShatnerLoveryou should watch Girls5Eva, she sings a lot but she's also hilarious in it

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Second only to Yvonne Elliman.

[@TheFolkhead]

This is John Legend as Jesus!!!! wow. huge fan of the original and deeply proud of this rendition. well done. totally feel it.

[@tedgalbraith4011]

Nothing forced, smooth and delightful!!

[@gilbertospione5874]

Nel 1973 ero innamorato della voce e la donna che era Yvonne... Dopo 50 anni lo sono ancora. Ma questa ragazza canta bene

I have the entire video, but this is one of my favorite scenes. It's brilliant.

No Yvonne Elliman was so much better.

[@anniedevore6554]

I watched this. It was awesome

[@MatthewQuinton]

The original part when he sang gone would send shivers down your spine this one was underwhelming to say the least.

[@bernardsoul5186]

He didn't quite hit the note, that happens sometimes with live renditions

[@tomace4898]

Absolute banger.

[@jeffb.2469]

Wow!

[@lightningrodstudios2441]

I actually like how he hits some of the high notes in this version. The soft “when I’m gone” at the end made Jesus seem less angry and more calm and understanding

[@anatorrecilla1018]

amazing!!!

[@boballen4756]

Amazing

[@charlesgeer8440]

Love her

[@kevinlofstrom1799]

love this

[@cruizahkimo2]

Never watched this version before.. Man. He sure came up short on, "When I'm GOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!".. Judas didnt looked amazed or shocked at all. What the heck was he thinking? Kind of an important part of the play.. I guess I'll never watch this one. Cant beat the original.. Aloha

[@peternewbury4953]

Legend makes me sad

[@ShatnerLover]

Sara and Brandon stole this whole show. I always thought Yvonne owned the role or Mary Magdalene because no one really did it as well, but Sara is who I think of when I want to hear Mary’s songs. Brandon and Carl are tied for amazing portrayals or Judas. I refuse to compare them because they’re different and amazing in their own rights. John doesn’t have the range for the role. I like him as an artist but I don’t know why he was cast as Jesus.

[@DonnaLombardo-n5i]

Yvonne was the original and the best but I like Sara too

[@Briguy1027]

Yeah, I like John's music, but he needed a stronger more theatrical voice for this song. He went falsetto on the high note instead of belting it.

[@crystalamachilang8405]

He looks the part, physically 😂

[@aline.rocha.]

[@normanbonk8064]

Wow! Prayers.

[@PopeSixtusVI]

First saw this version on Hulu, went in blind. I grew up Catholic and went to church as a kid. This threw me through a loop. "That's not how that song goes!" Double funny because Judas is doing what we now call Virtue Signaling, on Jesus no less.

[@PapaLobo94]

Sara Bareilles as “Mary Magdalene”: 👍🏻 Brandon Victor Dixon as “Judas Iscariot”: 👍🏻 John Legend as “Jesus Christ”: 👎🏻

[@ruslannunez4449]

John Legend was the weakest actor of the otherwise excellent cast. He should stick to his day job.

[@Buskeeeeeeee]

Agreed. The cast was pretty awesome but Legend was weak as Jesus.

[@bhvgcfx459]

I love Judas in the movie too.

[@princessbolden3111]

Sara crushed this role , I already knew that she was , the thing is I don’t like this production of JCS. But I like it better than the Tim mitchins one

[@YvonneBurggraaf-555]

I think we can stop making a complete musical and story tail now. This song is the most important message and all we need. Stay in the centered, white circle and let go of all the rest 🙏

[@ruslannunez4449]

The most important message is from Jesus Christ. He tells us all to keep watch. He warns us not to let ourselves be deceived. He tells us of his father's kingdom, which is to come .The whole world is passing away.

[@kelvinmorrison5097]

John Legend playing Jesus.......tic toc

[@emileventer]

Its hard for me to deal with this.

[@Gregory-q4j]

You theatre queens need to take a minute. Could you do what she does?

[@miox1973]

Legend and his "falsetto" NO NO NO, with the acute embarrassing ending .... role not indicated

[@misstubbie1313]

Agree. Here I was expecting a powerful high note and got a trickle of a kid’s voice instead 😂 Ben Forster in the British version does it tremendously

[@geoffrandwick5020]

Not a patch on original

[@pigeonporter4395]

am i the only one who thinks john legend was still great in this?

[@thomask10]

You’re not alone, I thought he was great. Different vocalist than the others in the past but phenomenal in his own right.

John Legend was totally miscast for this role. His voice is just not dynamic enough to carry the load that is Jesus Christ (Superstar!).

I disagree! I thought he was unlikely, but perfect!

[@erickdupree8580]

John Legend’s falsetto flip on ‘gone’ is cringe.

Fair point. It doesn't really work. Good catch!

[@horatiohuskisson5471]

Legend was sadly miscast.

[@KarilynM]

I think it’s the comparison of two who are on Broadway regularly which is a different stamina that he’s never had to do

[@jjj1951]

John Roger Stephens is no legend

[@sbxamedhi]

Dafuq is that weak "when im gooone" lol

[@Datamining101]

Sara blows both of them out of the water. I found the one shout-singing at her to be shrill and John Legend was just sort of boring.

[@stephanbildfell9146]

Nope.....still Carl, Ted and Yvonne.

[@billybaldwin8918]

Ted was bad at best.

[@DaKolbasz]

Legend. True disaster. Is he even there?

[@TA152H01]

She's good, the other two are horrible. Is this a joke?

[@1234onestepatatime]

Sara was amazing, and John Legend was a legend in his own mind. His voice is as weak as his odd infant face. It was an awful casting choice, and makes this production unwatcheable.

[@roberthuff3122]

Legend as JC? Nope.

[@michaelleggieri7135]

It just doesn't work with legend

[@TAYLORFAN50]

Spot on, very disappointed. 😢

[@jschapp77]

I felt the same, but it grew on me some the more I listened to it. But generally I agree.

[@xurx2838]

By him not hitting that high note on 'gone,' he took the ROCK out of the rock opera.

[@johnkelly5342]

As talented as he is, singing and acting in a musical as iconic as this is just not his thing. Still, it would be nice to see people turned on to the power of an epic show like this and the so very talented artists who helped make them famous. I hope they follow links to the original.

[@MrVenona]

He was an executive producer. Otherwise someone who could handle the role would have been hired.

[@Afriend-nv4uq]

Dixon as Judas is the best here. Legend the weakest.

[@andreahutton5305]

Not as good as the Australian version with Kate Ceberano, Jon Stevens and John Farnham.

[@rODIUMuk]

John legend is so weak

[@archiewu]

The worst presentation and voice compare to other Mary and Judas. Not mentioned Jesus awkward "falsetto" at end.

[@sebastianxu3855]

John Legend here is just like Nick Jonas in Les Mis... Really bad

[@Miaatje091]

Wow, close to the original.
