Getting ready to watch JCS.. I have some pretty mixed feelings..LOL Fantastic opening... very broadway.. everyone great I like John Legend but he is such a weak link in an outstanding cast. In these Hair-like hippie dance moments, he just awkwardly and self-consciously sways a bit. Brandon is doing his job re eye connect - John just looks like he's pouting back; he also misses a lot of Sara's attempts to lock eyes. I get he's nervous though. I think everyone is doing a good job of pretending Jesus is charismatic except Jesus lol. I've left no doubt that Judas is my fave, but you know who would make an amazingly charismatic, flower child Jesus unswayed by arguments to play it safe? Hmmm

I can't agree with you more. Really looking for something different this time. And there are many acts not following the usual crowd (no dancers in sight), doing their thing their way and are still getting radio play on top 40 and other formats as well as nominations. Can't wait to see what #4 brings for Adam. I'm very hopeful. Totally agree, too! Adam has so many assets that make him stand out from the crowd. He doesn't have to fit into a mold. I want him to be as creative as he wants to be and show the world that he is different in a very good way. And yes, there are acts out there are not following the prescribed pop path and are still selling music, getting radio play getting noms. No reason in the world that Adam can't do that, too. Top 40 radio is about as open as it's ever been. The definition of what is considered "pop" has widened. Would love to see Adam do something that doesn't require a stage full of dancers...

Good JCS production. John Legend is the weak link vocally. Minor characters are great. Would like to have seen Adam in it.

I'm not feeling Jesus emotionally at all either thru his facial expressions or his body language. Other characters are good. Judas is very good and more emotive. I'm switching back and forth watching Idol....lol.

IMHO.. the cast is superb.. Surprised at how much I like John Legend's voice... but to me, his acting skills are really off..He has two expressions neither of them making me feel anything for him.. Judas is panther like wonderful..The staging is really unique and creative.. perfect... dancers,singers top notch broadway.. Sara is perfect in the role as Mary.. JohnLegend just doesn't make a convincing Jesus.. . a bit miscast,by himself, in my opinion.
