JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR (THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUND TRACK ALBUM)

This version of the musical is not really bad, it's just not able to stand up to the original cast recording with Ian Gillian and Murray Head. (Which I have already blessed with 5 stars.) The singers here do not seem to have the energy and vibrancy of the original players, and the music doesn't always sound right to me. I think the problem here is that the FIRST version of this you heard will always be the favorite. In my case, the original cast recording came before this movie version and is hard if not impossible to surpass. At least Yvonne Elliman is the same performer for both of these versions, stage and movie. So, this is good but just can't top the first one. 3 stars.
