You mean on a pure voice talent level?


Sara's one of my favorite singers. She's got such a pure voice. She's just OK in this, though. Sporty Spice really sold her performance in the 2012 arena tour in a way I've never seen before, and that made up for her less appealing voice.

Legend stacks up good to Neeley in my opinion, except maybe for the that very high note Neeley had.


Legend has OK moments, but he doesn't try most of the high notes, and he slips into this awful head voice at times. The latter especially reminds me of the Jesus I saw at Swine Palace in 2000 or thereabouts. I'm just not finding anything compelling about this production.

Fair enough. I was excepting to feel the same way. I guess the bottom line to me is it's all about the songs. And this one has them and (to me at least) they are well performed.

Legend let me down tonight. He can’t hit the high notes. Alice cooper was awesome.

This has been decent enough for me but I've also never really been all that into JCS so there is less for me to be bothered with compared to other versions.

I will say that I cannot stand how many quick cuts and camera movement there has been. That's more of an issue w/musicals on TV these days though. :-/ The constant camera cuts in last year's "A Christmas Story" made it unwatchable to me (of course the music being weak sauce didn't help). At least this production has toned that down by comparison.
