Jesus Christ, Superstar

Greek Orthodox Easter is approaching, so Julia has been begging to listen to our CD of Jesus Christ Superstar.  I put it on during our car ride to church this morning, and Madeleine made an important realization.

JESUS: (singing) Why should you want to know?
MADELEINE: Mama?  I know this is not the real, actual Jesus, because the real Jesus would never act MEAN like that.


I'm pretty impressed that Madeleine figured out that it's not literally Jesus singing.  If she hadn't noticed the mean tone Ian Gillian was singing with, she might have continued on believing that Jesus and His Disciples themselves put out this album, 2016+ years ago.

So, to be clear:

Not Jesus, because he was singing something mean to His Disciples.



Jesus, who would never act mean.

Does that clear it up for the rest of you who thought you were listening to the Original Disciples Recording instead of the Original Cast Recording?  Yes?  Good.
