The best is on the Bach one when he comes in and someone in the audience screams. |

Why is Ted Neeley Awesome?Well, I HATE to use that word - it sounds so "valley girl". I was once quoted saying Ted's hugs are awesome. They are - but what I had really said was that they're like squeezing the juice out of an orange.But - for the title of this post: Ted is "awesome" to me because he is a wonderful human being. He never dismisses a fan - or anyone who comes back to say hello, he's sweet, he's funny, and talented as HELL - and has a voice that has beautifully weathered the passage of time. Onstage, Ted doesn't "play" a role, he "inhabits" it. And even though he's much older than Jesus was when this was going on, he's believable, because the personna is there. But mostly to me, Ted is "awesome", because he's a great friend. |

I know he's a really nice person and a caring indivdual. There are a lot of Carter fans here, and a good bunch of them think that Mr.Neely can't act or sing. I was proving a point that he's an amazing actor and singer.
I can't wait for the Farewell Tour. I really want to see him perform live. P.S. Pardon the word 'awesome', its not a word I commonly use. |

I think the thing about Neely is, just like any great piece of art, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
He's not a perfect singer. He's not a perfect actor. But all those add up, and make him human, and make him...well... Jesus. |

Neeley has that classical Jesus "look" to him. He looks just like the pictures of Christ we all saw as young children.
Says Neeley in an interview I have on DVD, "It was skin graft that happened many, many years ago. (laughs)" He also has muscles that I doidn't know any human had (watch Gethsemane in the film. Focus on his neck when he screams.) Andy. |
