Guess I will have to watch it if it is aired again or available for streaming. I checked out a couple of songs on YT posted by NBC. Brandon did a very nice job of Heaven on Their MInds. but, having heard Adam's version, I am spoiled. He has a much stronger, more resonant voice that really punches that song, leaving me feeling that Brandon's version lacked a little something. Not fair to Brandon, I know. But Adam's version held more drama and bitterness for me.
I also watched Gethsemane by Legend. Well done for a pop singer, I guess. He was really pushing his voice for power in places, resulting in it cracking a couple of times, and not for dramatic effect. And that summit of the song, sung in falsetto, was painful. So weak and wimpy with a shrill and unpleasing last note. I also agree that the acting was mediocre. That song should explode with energy, emotion, angst, and suffering. It didn't do it for me. To do justice to this song, it needs to be performed by a more highly trained, classically trained, powerful singer and actor. IMHO. Legend acquitted himself well for a pop singer. Not compelling as Jesus compared to what I have heard and seen before.
Adam would have blown the roof off this production, IMO. He is a great actor when he sings. And his voice would have soared to the rafters. I am sad I could not see him perform it. I see he commented on Sara's performance. Haven't seen his thoughts on Legend or Brandon so far. I'll be curious if he says anything.

Adam seems to have really loved JCS.

Thank you Adam for this wonderful pic from M&G in Warsaw - one of the best TOHT concerts ever!

Good JCS production. John Legend is the weak link vocally. Minor characters are great. Would like to have seen Adam in it. John Legend 'No way anyone can officially overshadow me.'
