@@kalimile1917Just listen to Yvonne Elliman's version of this song to understand what I am talking about. I like Sara Bailleres singing "I choose you" where she DOES NOT sound like "she's just got her womb removed" so to speak. I am a gainfully employed professional by the way
@@andresbucio3000 You're welcome to your opinion. I think you'll find it's definitely a minority view judging by the comments here. It's all subjective. Personally, I think Sara is hugely talented. A Tony nomination for her performance in Into the Woods is testament to this.
Sara is absolutely flawless when she sings. Very few people in my opinion that can transition from chest voice to head voice with ease and perfection so effortlessly.
Unbelievably talented!!! My favorite song. Saw this when I was a little girl. My dad took me to NYC to see it on Broadway. That's when I fell in love with Broadway and this song made me cry -- I was only 11. My dad told me you can never teach someone empathy. They are either born with it or without it. And he knew I had it in my soul the moment tears streamed down my face when the star sang this very song. Cut to 20 yrs laters when I had my own little girl and I was singing this to her one night in bed to help her get to sleep. She started to cry.... and said "mamma this song makes me sad for some reason". I said " you can never teach someone empathy. They are either born with it in their soul or without. And you have it" my dad had passed by then... circle of life. Music is what feelings would sound like. PS. I'm Jewish and feel this song --- so I can't even imagine the power it brings to those who believe in Jesus Christ. Love and light to all.
Sara is amazing. I don't think she gets all the recognition she should. Her voice is beautiful, she a terrific songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist.
@@thomascuddihy2933hogwash. The emotional basis for the song speaks to insecurities universally experienced by lovers and nothing whatsoever to do with imaginary gods.
@@teamfol I was also disappointed with Alice Cooper’s performance. I expected soooooo much more from him. John was still the worst- I like him just fine normally, but he couldn’t even remotely hit the G5, so why was he cast?
Alice Cooper I was hoping good things for. Herod is a role that has that freedom to be just wild and crazy. John was there for star power name alone. That's how sadly most of these shows are cast. Get someone famous in the role and it will draw people. John not hitting the notes was big. But the cocky way he presented himself like this was below him and he didn't want to be there got me the most.
She is an amazing musical talent, and an incredible performer. I have listened to her music for many years now and she's just very special to the performing arts.
brilliant observation and comment. I have to say it out loud...i would take one Sara Bareilles over a thousand taylor swifts, sabrina carpenters, gracie abrams, etc etc. She's a force.
This is a beautiful song and so beautifully sung. As a Christian myself, it really expresses how I felt when I first became one. I was just 14 then. Now I am 57.
Her natural vibrato pulls you in. Seeking redemption. Her dynamics were perfectly executed. Again, she is a natural. Flawless performance. That’s why she made the big bucks. Top tiered vocalist who was Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera Broadway, and countless other famous musicals.
Fully agree! Divine Music, Divine performance!!! God blass you all ! Greetings from Brazil !!! God save our souls from the Government dictators that are killing the liberty from the Brazilian people!😢
It’s not hidden if you’re familiar with her work:) which I highly recommend! Her cover is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road changes the vibe completely and it’s amazing. She wrote “she used to be mine” for Waitress and it’s like poetry. So she’s amazing:) she does have the habit of singing a little off with the music via preference (she makes things her own) and I think that’s part of why some people aren’t enjoying this cover 😉
I don’t know how to love him. Isn’t low hanging fruit - it’s a tough song to sing. But it just came easy for her. That’s why she is a PROFESSIONAL SINGER.
I had a very close friend's 22 yr old daughter die of cancer today. I'm 56, and I listened to this song, and it's making me appreciate how precious our lives are, but also how temporary. I'm convinced that she was in love with Jesus from this song, and it makes me think of being in love and being innocent. My wife and I have committed to living and enjoying the time we have left, although we know not how long. That really makes me appreciate this song.😥
Saw this musical for the first time as a child in the Seventies. Never understood why this isn't required viewing for every Christian. And Sara is absolutely delightful as the "other" Mary.💕
"Required viewing"? Required by whom and for what purpose? The word is in the book, this is entertainment, a good song, a love song that anyone can appreciate and enjoy. The added pathos of romantic love for Christ, is a dimension that is not at all unique to Christianity.
They say “ making moments Magic” and Sara my love you are truly sent from the gods to reach out and touch our hearts and souls ,just sublime ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I’m crying 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲from the Sunshine Coast Australia 🇦🇺
I love Sara's tone of voice, this is my fave version so far, and then the acapela version of the nun (Micaela Diamond) in the car scene from the series Grotesquerie.
What a talent, what a performance, shes done perfomances, on the RRHOF, sung for President and Mrs. Obama. Carole King, one of her inspirations....Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, to which he said "There does not need to a another version"....
Listening to SARA on her Birthday and just Noticed this JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Live Performance... SHE is FABULOUS! Thank You for Sharing This! Mucho Gracias... ❤🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA, Too!
I think I first was introduced to Sara when she was a judge on a singing show -- became a fan of her music thereafter, but her role in this re-production was what I would say a perfect casting!
Fully agree! Divine Music, Divine performance!!! God blass you all ! Greetings from Brazil ... ...God save our souls from the Government dictators that are killing the liberty from the Brazilian people!😢
I never was a fan of Sara (for some reason I'd never was a fan, I hadn't listened to radio) I absolutely adore her voice, so powerful and yet incredible control. I'm a huge fan of hers, now I love this song and others Yellow Brick Road, Brave, Love Song and her incredible version of Laura Nyro's Stoney End at The RRHOF, shows how her gifted amazing voice is. I don't think there are many fans who aren't impressed with every song she does....she stands as incredible on everything I've heard. Bravo, dear Sara
Just sitting here trying to imagine what it would be like to be a woman like her in romantic love with Jesus. I think there's a lot to be said about why she was the one and about how he likely knew. Being in love always hurts, but being loved is probably just as hard. Not that she was his biggest concern, but I always think of them, of his love for the forgotten, for the sinners, for the outsiders. What she must have felt for him, and how most women would have probably fallen love. It was probably even harder and more vulnerable for him to be loved than it even was for her to love him. He loved everyone. And in the end that was his undoing, his beauty, his destiny... but also our salvation. How could you actually be there and not love a man like that?
Yvonne Elliman said she did an excellent job doing this song. I don't know if there is a higher compliment than that. Way to go Sara.
She is incredible good!
Her and Helen Ready. Both excellent!

I’m almost 65 years old and have loved this song forever.. beautifully done
I've loved this song from 1972 onwards.
Since i was 13 years old - born 1959, 1972 was my best year forever in my life
I sang this in our church choir.
I'm 65 and this was one of the best performances of a song I've ever seen.
Since 1973
Sara Bareilles is simply incredible.
Absolutely true❤ I love her!
incredibly horrible, she should take herself to the police for destroying this song

I saw this the night it aired and was in ruins after this song...Sara just utterly nailed it... 10s across the board, no splash
Sara is absolutely flawless when she sings. Very few people in my opinion that can transition from chest voice to head voice with ease and perfection so effortlessly.
Sara Bareilles is AMAZING here. Her voice pulls me in. This is the best version of this song I've heard. Love It.
Pity that you wanted alice cooper 2 complete u.
Where did that come from? I didn't even mention Alice in my comment???
Just watched this again for the umteenth time. She really nailed her performance here.
@@emileventer Alice Cooper is an awesome talent. I listen to his music still, and I LOVE IT.
@@billmorrissey7680I also watched it, I loved it so much. Sara is amazing ❤
She got a monster voice and controls it perfectly
Her control and tone are the 2 things I like best about her voice. She's fabulously talented.
She has a beautiful voice with great control but I wouldn't say it's a monster voice. It's not entirely belted but a strong mix

Just so brilliant, Sara Bareilles is. Nothing much else needs to be said, other than a special talent. ❤😊
I think this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
Wrong. THE most ;)
@@johnm7328 I agree

Brought to tears, almost every time. Beautiful is too small a word.

John was underwhelming in this show, but Sara nailed this song. The first one since Yvonne who brought a tear to my eyes
Thank you. John was the worst part. So many of the side characters stole the show.

Amen!
Let's be real. He doesn't have the talent this lady does. That's one of the all time great performances I've ever seen.
Wow. Sara, just wow. I like her music, and never expected to see her performing this. Well done.
I think her version of this is the most beautiful.
You obviously havent heard Helen Reddy.
Or Agnatha Falstog 1972 in Swedish
She is an amazing musical talent, and an incredible performer. I have listened to her music for many years now and she's just very special to the performing arts.
when she sings, and I've had so many....the shame and confusion she expresses is just plain brilliant.
Exactly.
brilliant observation and comment. I have to say it out loud...i would take one Sara Bareilles over a thousand taylor swifts, sabrina carpenters, gracie abrams, etc etc. She's a force.
She is amazing. Her vocals are endearing and captivating.
What an amazing performance. I especially LOVE the way she keeps looking off stage where he exited as though singing to him. Brilliant!
Not many songs that could bring this old dude to tears. Beautiful song so beautifully sung.
Isnt it just!
This is a beautiful song and so beautifully sung. As a Christian myself, it really expresses how I felt when I first became one. I was just 14 then. Now I am 57.
This is my favorite musical and Sara Bareilles nailed it!!! 😊❤ She can sing a Chinese takeout menu; that's how good she is!
Agreed! She has great vocals!
Best version since Yvonne. Well done….
i havent heard this in 40 some years, shes marvelous !!
Such a beautiful beautiful voice.
All I can say beautiful..one of my favorites since I saw the original in 1973?
JCS was the first Broadway play I saw. Remember like it was yesterday
Sara's voice is everything. 🥲
Sara interpreta esta canción con mucho sentimiento,esa es la clave de que Sara sea tan admirada.
Sara is amazing, John Legend is amazing...outside of JCS, where he was vocally overmatched.
Her natural vibrato pulls you in. Seeking redemption. Her dynamics were perfectly executed. Again, she is a natural. Flawless performance. That’s why she made the big bucks. Top tiered vocalist who was Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera Broadway, and countless other famous musicals.
THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG !!!!
SHE’S SIMPLY AMAZING , WITH FULL OF EMOTION !
This song the man they speak of is Jesus. This was absolutely beautiful. This would bring a tear to Jesus eyes too
Fully agree! Divine Music, Divine performance!!!
God blass you all !
Greetings from Brazil !!!
God save our souls from the Government dictators that are killing the liberty from the Brazilian people!😢
You got it, Smokey dad. Whoever your are. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ for His sacrifice on the cross for sinners like me. John 3:16
Sara Bareilles pocesses so much hidden potential, such talent
Hidden indeed, this is not a very good rendition. Helen Reddy was the gold standard.
She can sing anything she sets her voice to. From opera to country, or rock n roll, she's spectacular to watch and/or listen to. ❤😮😊
It’s not hidden if you’re familiar with her work:) which I highly recommend! Her cover is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road changes the vibe completely and it’s amazing. She wrote “she used to be mine” for Waitress and it’s like poetry.
So she’s amazing:) she does have the habit of singing a little off with the music via preference (she makes things her own) and I think that’s part of why some people aren’t enjoying this cover 😉
Ms. Bareilles is talented in many ways. I'm glad to see she's been successful.
We all know Sara is an awesome singer, but wow can she act as well !!
Way to go Sara !!
you know she wrote and starred in The Waitress right? The Broadway musical?
sara is so underrated what a singer
I don’t know how to love him. Isn’t low hanging fruit - it’s a tough song to sing. But it just came easy for her. That’s why she is a PROFESSIONAL SINGER.
Casting her here was a no brainer. Sublime.
Sara ..is the sweetest voice...ever...
This is definitely one of the most memorable songs from "JCS."
What a voice, simply spectacular.
Love her voice , she is amazing , xx
She was born to sing...!
This song always brings me to tears
She has a stunningly versatile voice. Quite an amazing artiste d
NAILED IT!!! Didn't she?
Sardonically
Yes
Huge crush on this woman.

@@fred1barb perhaps for those who can readily offer their love to Christ, yet find extending that same love to another person almost impossible?
OMG! Give me goosebumps! This is a masterpiece!
Doing the hardest bits sitting down! Show off lol

Sara's so beautiful that it actually hurts to look at her.
