Steven Seale is mainly a dancer, so I respect him even more for the progresses he made the past years with his voice :) Now he really rocks! And Drew Sarich who plays Judas in this version is so wonderful!

In this brilliant work, don't forget that Jesus is not the main character.
@Silivrina15 жыл бұрын
He got the job mainly because he's a good friend of the director and she wanted to give him a chance. The thing is that he was a dancer and decided to try singing. Personally I think he did a good job.

The way I see it, he has a nice sound to his voice and I feel like he does a great job. We are all used to the high, belting sound Jesus usually has. I mean, how many people commenting here can sing this well? Honestly.

Steven went the pretty route with the song, so it doesn't have the sheer passion in the vocals that some other versions do. But watching his face and movements, he went more for the pleading/confused route than the desperation, which works just as well, it's just different.

He doesn't have a true rock sound, but he has a good voice & I think there's a nice pathos in his performance that you really don't see that often in ANY portrayal of Jesus, not just in this musical. Jesus for some reason always seems to come across as kind of cold & bland (esp. in films) IMO. There's a sweetness to this guy that I like - I think Jesus SHOULD have warmth & kindness emanating from him & his plight in this song should really touch you. So overall I think this guy did a good job.

This is Gethsemane. I think he's a good singer, but if you can't hit that high note, you shouldn't be singing this song. It's Gethsemane, man, the pinnacle of Jesus's character, the apex of the show. Hit the note, man, or move aside so someone else can.

he may not be awful, but for a professional production, i expected a lot more. The rest of the cast put him to shame almost, ive watched a lot of the other videos and the magnitude of this performance is incrdible, but its a shame the leading man wasn't very good. He is belittled by Drew Sarich. He's not 'awful' but singing wise (what matters in this show) I dont think he sounds at all professional.

The lisp makes this song laughable, he's not a very good singer because his pitch wavers, he transitions poorly and he doesn't hit the high note. Not to mention it's an overall bland performance vocally, the tone of the song slowly shifts and he doesn't really add enough to drive it home. Easily one of the worst versions ever.
