This is one of my favorite renditions of this song. Not for the most impressive bits, though he's got pipes. But for the character moments, where he sacrifices vocal perfection for emphasis. I've heard too many versions of this song executed flawlessly, but without the clear intention behind the song.
Autotune flattened this number in the official recording for no good reason. Tim is a pro and his technique deserves an honest spotlight. Thanks for putting up this version.
Tim looks like he didnt sleep for 48 hours before falling asleep two hours before the show started and his manager had to drag him out of bed straight onto the stage haha
i agree with you hannah what Tim looks like he didnt sleep for 48 hours before falling asleep two hours before the show started and his manager had to drag him out of bed straight onto the stage haha
I love the way Tim says 'Messiah' I am so glad I decided to watch this when it was on TV and I have it recorded forever and ever. It's great to hear Tim sing this amazing song without the autotune which he clearly does not need
An outspoken atheist as Judas is some of the most perfect casting I've ever seen. I consider Judas the "original atheist" and having someone who understands that view so perfectly adds so much depth. Tim also makes FANTASTIC character choices and his vocals are GORGEOUS. He'll forever be my standard and image for Judas Iscariot.
You are of course free to define the word, "atheist", any way you want. Mirriam-Webber defines it as, "a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods". Some reserchers argue that the first signs of any form of beliefs in gods are as old as 200,000 years. The general consensus, though, is that belifs have started 70,000-100,000 years ago, and religion in modern sense about 6,000 years ago. 6,000 years is also the time-line supported in the Bible. Homo sapiens, however, have been around for 300,000 years, and earlier species of the genus homo existed 2 million years ago. This means that for 2 million years all humans were atheist. They simply could not believe in something that had not yet been invented. The literary character, Judas, seems, however, to be presented as a believer. He just did not believe that Jesus was God's son, a belief Earth's entire population shared at the time. So, with your definition of "atheist" (a non-believer in Christ being God's son), you have over 6 Billion people to chose from. And just like Minchin, most of them cannot hit all the notes in "Heaven on Their Minds". And just like Minchin, most of them are not well-suited for the role of Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Thankyou!!! So glad they didn't auto-tune him for this performance! His voice is perfect natural :) Saw him sing this live in Sydney for the arena tour, and he was fantastic!
It is auto-tuned, just not as aggressively as it was first time out. He actually sings it pretty well though, it's a tough song and his voice probably isn't ideally suited to it, so hats off to him!
So one of my favorite new christmas songs is his "White Wine in the Sun' and I didn't connect that this is THE Tim Minchin that I've got on one of my JCSS soundtracks. I just love this guy. A rocker with soul and thoughtfulness.

he wasnt auto tuned for the stage version and as a fan of Tim he shows high hatred for it, any sounds you would take as autotune in the stage version are simply echo, or the audio peaking from his voice
TH Guy unfortunately from what I've read they were all auto tuned in the arena tour because Mel needed it to play Mary. Tim and Ben were apparently really angry about it.
Surprised that Mel would need autotune, stuff I have heard of hers has always sounded pretty crisp when performing live, and I would say that from all those who were members of the Spice Girls she had by far and away the best voice. Sad indictment on music that some of these "stars" do need autotune though, when you listen to isolated vocals without autotune you can hear the reason why
+Trinity the x Tim usually wears eyeliner when he is on stage, he does it because when his hands are on the piano and he is singing the only way to express himself using body language is through his eyes so he wears eyeliner to make them stand out more. But now his eyeliner has just become his look aswell
HECK of a song, music AND lyrics, no matter who sings it and STILL as powerful and thought-provoking as it was 50 years ago, maybe more so; timeless music, timeless message. DAMN.
It felt funny. Slow and without feeling. Uhh. A few long held out notes, yells made it seem like he was there but it felt like he wasn't. Someone on here said he sang his voice away the night before. Who knows. Guy from the movie is far better
Close?? Lmao. If by close you mean Africa is close to America because it's on Earth. Lol. This was ok at best. Eeek.. watch the movie version. Blows this out of the water.
Judas from jcs has and always will be my favourite character. When I heard that Tim Minchin would be taking on the role I did the biggest happy dance. I love him... and what's more, I could see that he adored the character as much as I do. That passion and dedication to the role comes across in every word, every movement. I was lucky enough to see him for myself when jcs came to Leeds.. that night will stay with me for the rest of my life :)

He can even still pull of the CONTEMPT half way in. And I love that he used THREE syllables. It IS Mes-I-ah. Not not Mes-aya. just stretch the background note like they did and let them hit the WORD.
I dunno, I like both renditions of Judas. Carl and Tim just potray him differently. As for the voice, Carl is so impressive and emotional in his desperation for certain songs, and his voice is AAAAAAA but I personally like Tim's more nasal (as someone said in the comments) voice: in my opinion it adds to the... Character design?? I don't know how to call it?? In general, I think it adds more to the general "impression" of the character.
It's not always about the voice, even the greatest vocalist of the 20th century Luciano Pavarotti said this consistently. You need the full package, you need a good voice, a commanding stage presence, charisma and you need to come across as genuine and that you know the character you're portraying inside out. Tim edges it for me, I like his stage presence more and I felt he had a better understanding of the character he was portraying.
I totally agree to all commentators here. That Tim Minchin DVD Version of this song is sad to think putting AUTO-TUNE. Tim Minchin is have an Awesome voice and Amazing Version compare to all i'd here and watch verisions of HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS. ILOVE the original by Carl Anderson and this amazing Tim Minchin Version. And nothing else.
Thank you so much for uploading this!!! I really wanted to break something in frustration because I was not able to watch it on TV and the online version of BBC doesn't work for my country -.-'
at the risk of sounding pompous, it occurred to me that this song is making a statement about reason coming into conflict with faith (especially blind faith) and that belief that is unchecked by reason and a critical mind can turn into something very dangerous. one look at history should be enough to prove my point.
louis bailey Are u Jews? So double standard. U think it's OK to insult Christian & muslim, while u can freely call it antisemitic when people have problem with that. Stupid
djjerome What makes faith dangerous isn't the message itself . It's the insane acting out demented acts , thinking that God would approve . It's the act of extremism in religion . Please ...Please don't be one of those who judges the whole , based on the acts of extremists . That would contradict your logic and reason argument .
Effen Ay! Great stuff. BTW, JCSS made me realize that Judas was the the only one who got it. And as history shows, time and again; he had to be silenced.
Judas is portrayed as a tragic victim. at one point in JCSS he believes that betraying Jesus is what he is supposed to do. he thinks Jesus will get a slap on the wrist and that'll be it.
I remember when I was a teenager and got into a big debate about that with my pastor. I just couldn't reconcile God "throwing away" Judas to an eternity in hell when his actions were absolutely essential for the salvation plan to work. The man deserved a pass for them.
@bad1dobby Thanks. I was always acutely aware of the "problem of evil" and just couldn't reconcile it with an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent god. I parted ways with the church shortly after that debate. Found Buddhism a few years later and it works better for me (no theology involved in it, for one.)
@Uisce Preston Get your understanding of art examined first. Art is very much subjective, especially when it comes to things like which interpretation you like best.
I was around 16 when I first watched JCSS, since then Carl and Tim for me were irreplacebleIt was a sin just to think someone could outperform them. I was wrong, Mitching and the new Cast of JC is spectacular.
Who else thinks it’s sad in the dvd they put auto tune on his voice when he can sing amazingly
It's horrible what they did to his voice. It needed no enhancements at all
It took away from the emotion he was trying to convey in his performance. I still love his Judas! 💗
Wow, I didnt know that. Did they do that with all the main performers in that production?
jordsupp they used it only for the dvd
jordsupp I believe so, but it was most noticeable with Tim Minchin. He was humiliated and insulted
This is one of my favorite renditions of this song. Not for the most impressive bits, though he's got pipes. But for the character moments, where he sacrifices vocal perfection for emphasis. I've heard too many versions of this song executed flawlessly, but without the clear intention behind the song.
superbo! bravo!
Agreed, Tim is one of the very few who understands the character and comes across as genuine rather than a theatre nerd.
He sounds better without the freaking autotune they put on himmm
He can't sing the song. Not once have a heard him nail anything in JCS.
I guess autotune is the final transition from raw rock opera to musical theatre 'perfection'.
@Robert Robertson 100%

People forget Tim Rice wrote all the wonderful lyrics while Lloyd-Webber wrote the music.
+geowyn Kinsey I did forget that! I feel ashamed for forgetting that.
I love their musicals but so many think ALW wrote the lyrics when he wrote the wonderul music. Probably because he is better known than Sir Tim Rice.
geowyn Kinsey Who forgets that?

Kerri Gaskin the entire cast in the dvd release of the show was autotuned really blatantly. it was probably done live. big mistake in my opinion.
neomp5 No they added the auto tune in the editing of the DVD. Tim was actually pretty pissed off about it
Nano Cast if you listen to it, it's pretty clear that it was a live effect
neomp5 If you listen to the last supper from Perth AUS Tim sounds pretty raw. Ben's voice cracks right before the scream aswell
Holy crap. I just LOVE Tim.
hes a freak, hes amazing
@@Belcas69 Had to see it again. 2 years later, I am still amazed and I still love Tim!

I totally agree to all commentators here. That Tim Minchin DVD Version of this song is sad to think putting AUTO-TUNE. Tim Minchin is have an Awesome voice and Amazing Version compare to all i'd here and watch verisions of HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS. ILOVE the original by Carl Anderson and this amazing Tim Minchin Version. And nothing else.
One day you thougth you could match it, but you couldn't. You must keep in your place.
Why dont they revive this movie opera? Its great!
About this video: the most logical combination. Ever. Doesn't matter, that his voice not strong enough.
Thank you so much for uploading this!!! I really wanted to break something in frustration because I was not able to watch it on TV and the online version of BBC doesn't work for my country -.-'
Wow!😀😍👍🎭
TM sings all wi conviction
Such a fab artist
at the risk of sounding pompous, it occurred to me that this song is making a statement about reason coming into conflict with faith (especially blind faith) and that belief that is unchecked by reason and a critical mind can turn into something very dangerous. one look at history should be enough to prove my point.
Oh, come on... It's only about Jewish mocking Jesus. You know Jewish. They hate everything, especially Christian & Muslims.
djjerome I thought the same thing.
louis bailey The statement "blind faith" is redundant.
louis bailey Are u Jews? So double standard. U think it's OK to insult Christian & muslim, while u can freely call it antisemitic when people have problem with that. Stupid
djjerome What makes faith dangerous isn't the message itself . It's the insane acting out demented acts , thinking that God would approve . It's the act of extremism in religion . Please ...Please don't be one of those who judges the whole , based on the acts of extremists . That would contradict your logic and reason argument .
timelessssss
Put the playback speed on 1.25x it’s much better
Amazing voice, I was unfamiliar with this actor
Effen Ay! Great stuff. BTW, JCSS made me realize that Judas was the the only one who got it. And as history shows, time and again; he had to be silenced.
Gnilrats You missed the whole point of the musical then man...
Theguy Mich nah he got it.
Tim Minchen there is no better!!!
nice one Tim .....
Not bad for a pianist comedian.
Actually, not bad, period.
I see too well we all soon will be Jesus
My favorite Judas 🤩
cool! from japan
Reminds me of Ted Neeley. Tim is best Judas! Please perform in more musicals!
This just proves the decision to so heavily auto tune him in the arena tour was completely unnecessary
Judas is portrayed as a tragic victim. at one point in JCSS he believes that betraying Jesus is what he is supposed to do. he thinks Jesus will get a slap on the wrist and that'll be it.
I remember when I was a teenager and got into a big debate about that with my pastor. I just couldn't reconcile God "throwing away" Judas to an eternity in hell when his actions were absolutely essential for the salvation plan to work. The man deserved a pass for them.
@bad1dobby Thanks. I was always acutely aware of the "problem of evil" and just couldn't reconcile it with an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent god. I parted ways with the church shortly after that debate. Found Buddhism a few years later and it works better for me (no theology involved in it, for one.)
Sounds better at 1.10x speed
His voice was so amazing, I recorded his song on my ipad
So much more real without the auto tune!!
미쳣다
He is a natural judas
Can't believe he wore shoes to this. Disappointed.
He doesn't need the autotone. I mean it improves his performance by 1- 5% as much.
The bass player makes this fantastic. Really listen to the bass player he puts far too many to shame.
Best Judas ever
Get your ears, eyes and head examined. I have heard better community theater versions. And I like the guy.
@Uisce Preston
Get your understanding of art examined first.
Art is very much subjective, especially when it comes to things like which interpretation you like best.
I was around 16 when I first watched JCSS, since then Carl and Tim for me were irreplacebleIt was a sin just to think someone could outperform them. I was wrong, Mitching and the new Cast of JC is spectacular.
Um, he’s amazing.
this sounds exactly like the version they auto tuned only...without autotune. they literally did not need to do that
