SiriusXM aired a special on ALW's career earlier this month; in the special, he talks about how JCS was really meant to be more of a rock-opera concept album, similar to The Who's "Tommy", which is why the show has no book scenes and the show essentially lurches from song to song in a somewhat

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

I finally got around to finding the original album on Spotify. For some reason it's a playlist. It simply doesn't compare to the Legend/NBC version. NBC had top Broadway performing talent in all the roles while the album was Warner Brothers talent. The backing music for the album was probably a

Oh I recall the reference, and your reason for instituting it. I just wondered if using his name would attract so much attention. I just found a video of him singing the song, looked like at a concert, not a clip from a full performance On Mon, Apr 2, 2018 at 7:40 PM Melissa P

It's not supposed to be on social media, so I wonder how you found it? (I couldn't although I did see Merle's explanation of its existence). "HWCNBN" has become a tradition of this list, dating back to the filming of a particular episode of Will and Grace (which makes me sad to think about

fyi that magent link worked for me. the vertical resolution is not 720p, but the show is sufficient for me. I've added it to my plex server and will sync to mobile when I get on to decent wifi (currently in St. Johns NL this week). On Mon, Apr 2, 2018 at 9:58 PM Doug Eastick

if anyone finds a Betamax copy online of JCS (NBC version) from 1-April-2018, please give me a direct email. I'd like to watch the whole thing. Thoughts from the past 24 hours: * as a (largely) atheist, I had to read Wikipedia about the main story of JCS. * My brother than mother played the

Thanks for the head’s up Melissa, with a little Google it was easy to find (are there really haters out there still punishing it’s that reference him directly?). I enjoyed it - though he is probably a little too far on the other end of the screaming 70’s spectrum for me (again, Legend, for me, is

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

NBC is promoting it for free on its app. I checked in and out of this one, which is more than I can say for any of the other live theater on TV of the last few years.  While my parents were the right age to be playing the album/cast album and/or movie soundtrack when I was growing up, I don't

HWCNBN's version of Gethsemane is the most stunning version of the song ever recorded. Unfortunately, I can't share it on a message board! On Mon, Apr 2, 2018 at 1:15 PM, PGage wrote: > I have had a couple of friendly but passionate debates the Gethsemane > number already

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

I have had a couple of friendly but passionate debates the Gethsemane number already this morning. Couple of things about that: 1. I liked Legend’s performance on every other number better than Neeley’s. On this one, I would give the nod to Neeley even though I preferred how Legend did the end of

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

I had a few quibbles - the vocal mix early on was poor, making it hard to decipher the lyrics, but was fixed by the second hour; John Legend wasn't quite up to the vocal demands of "Gethsemane," but worked his way around it with phrasing; and the cheering of the crowd at inopportune moments was

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

I watched the first 15 minutes and then had to do something else. I'll try to find it online later. The live tweets from legend's wife are quite the thing. And follow this tweet quoting from Prady https://twitter.com/billprady/status/980659471918686208?s=19 On Mon, Apr 2, 2018, 2:43 AM

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

This was bugging me enough I went back and watched parts of it again. I guess the dancers are not singing at all, and it looks like there are some background singers near the band who are singing the chorus. But either they needed a big group, or the mix was off a little. On Sun, Apr 1, 2018 at

[TV orNotTV] Jesus Christ John Legend (and Co)

Bravo NBC! This is how you do a broadway musical on television. Everyone and everything about this production was really good. Legend was the perfect choice and was amazing - but the other main players were great too. Bareilles’s voice was pure. Dixon was outstanding. I loved too the way they

I wrote a piece of dark (very dark) comedy about this jackass back in 2006. Aside from what specifically Robertson was being an idiot about (in 2006, he'd denounced Israel), the writing still seems to resonate. It was entitled Pat Robertson Must Die (like I said, dark comedy):
