    Personally, I can't imagine a world without Alice Cooper in it. The man can do no wrong! I've followed his career for as long as I can remember. So when I found out he was going to play King Herod in my favourite musical, I couldn't wait to see it. As usual, he didn't disappoint. But I have to admit, when he said "WOW", I fell in love with him all over again! I honestly believe there's nothing this talented man can't do. Long live Alice!!

    When I first saw this rendition of JCS, I wasn't really a fan of Alice Cooper. But now that I am and I've seen what he can do, I love this version and how Alice puts his own spin on Herod. He's a born showman. (I also think it's really weird to see John Legend play Jesus.)

    I have watched this multiple times and I notice something different with each viewing. The costumer did a fantastic job with the outfit, I LOVE how his facial expressions change from curious, to demanding to fury to go in line with the lyrics. I've watched other versions of King Herrod's song, and by far, this one by Alice Cooper is the best. He really embraces the character and makes it something special.

    • @markmyers6472

    I don't recall the name of the actor who did Herod in the L.A. production back in 1972, which I saw, but he was fantastic. Cooper does a magnificent characterization here, I only wish that he had been choreographed, maybe a bit of dancing interplay with the ladies. It was just too static, and I found that to be true of this whole production. Some of the singing was great, but the stage direction was so stiff. I saw Ted Neely in his prime, more than once. Those productions were energetic, emotional and a joy to watch. This one, had you just listened and not watched the screen would have come across no differently. Could have been so much more.

      Herod ruled Galilee, not Jerusalem. Pilate wanted Herod to deal with Jesus because Nazareth is in Galilee.

    The fascinating thing about this performance is that he decided to play it straight. Genius. His whole professional life, he's been so over the top, that it's far more effective for him to just come in and play it like the cranky Godfather of rock n roll.

      I'd love to see a version with elements of rik and Alice. Alice sung it so well and easily! Especially the angry part at the end!! but rik was all about the mocking and impatience with his scary facial expressions. I guess it's a song that doesn't necessarily have to be flattering or sung perfectly to be good

    My brush with greatness was back in the mid-90's when I worked at the front desk of a major hotel in our downtown area. I saw Alice Cooper (not in make-up, of course) and he was talking to the members of his band. He then split from the discussions and came up to me, asking if I could book a limo for him and his band. I said "of course" and asked him what name the reservation should be under. I saw him look disappointed as he told me his name. I said "I'm sorry Mr. Cooper, I know who you are. I just didn't know if you wanted the reservation to be under your name or an assumed name." He looked so happy. He said "Oh no. Under my name is fine." And he thanked me. That's it. My 12 seconds of fame. Ha ha. This was fantastic. I laughed when the dancing girls came out.
