do you think religious people like JCS without John Legend?


I'm an evangelical and Jesus Christ Superstar is amazing. I think John Legend sucks, so I have no interest in seeing this with him playing Jesus but the actual musical is great.

I don't believe it. Looks self-indulgent. No way the "Hamilton on Broadway guy" and John Legend would be self-indulgent.

John Legend is a pretty huge idiot


He’s actually pretty fricking brilliant. You should read up on him.

You just don’t like his politics. People can have opposing politics and not be idiots.

No shite. I still listen to the Dixie Chicks and watch Sean Penn movies.

People who let politics blind them are retards in a way.

I don't think he's objectively bad as a musician I just personally don't like him. My saying he "sucks" was a bad word choice and his politics have nothing to do with it. Before this thread I didn't even know that he was particularly liberal. I couldn't care less about someone's personal beliefs as long as they make good music/movies/books.

Who said I despise it? I never even saw it until literally 5 minutes ago ? I've caught wind of several of his arguments and I was looking for confirmation and came across his Twitter feed. Are you the opinion police? Do I need to approve myself through you mr. Opinion arbiter?

You don't like their hits from Wide Open Spaces and Fly?

If not, it's you, not the music.
