- I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
This Masterpiece Will resonate Forever ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
2024 only the best live on. This is one of them.
I dont know how to love him.. years later its still a song i love
2022: almost 50 years that this silky and deep and moving voice makes me cry. Every time. Thank you Yvonne
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
She is a great singer no wonder she won a Grammy for if I can't have you
I cried too!
I bawl to this song. I feel what she feels for Him. I love You Yeshua !! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
always makes me tear up
I was ten years old when I watched this movie. SO MUCH has changed in my life ever since. Tears just running down my cheeks. What a MOVING and SUPERB interpretation. Why is it that only as we grow older, we can REALLY appreciate works of art like this? I shall never know...
Most beautiful song and no one could sing it like Yvonne..touches your soul xx
Ángela Carrasco
True!!! although Angela Carrasco does it incredibly beautiful in Spanish, but Yvonne Elliman's voice is so unique.Her voice is powerful,yet it's subtle, delicate, naive and feminine that this rendition is the best.Ever.
*i could, and i did :D*
Gorgeous performance. She should have won an Oscar for this role.
She was nominated for a golden globe she should have won
BEST versión ever
This movie was better than the bloodfest The Godfather.😢
No one can compare to Yvonne Elliman.
She is just plain magnificent. I fell in love with her when I was 5.
it's perfect, she's perfect, the song is perfect, her eyes and her movements are perfect.
I'm no longer religious at all, but the singing, musicianship and song writing for this movie is absolutely amazing and beautiful -- simply incredible -- all the way around. ❤️
This is one of the most beautiful and moving vocal performances ever recorded. Never gets old.
Thanks to Yvonne elliman
Totally !
Agree 💯
@@donnalombardo1135 Yes ! I meant to say that. Thanks.
Yes!❤
Yvonne is simply stunning, what amazing voice and song, it is timeless.
Do good for people and animals "love"
This song shatters my heart. 😭😭😭😭😭
This song defines a generation. Her beauty and talent are timeless.
It certainly does define a generation that I was a part of & that I cherish even today.
This is mesmerizing no matter how many times you see it. Yvonne is perfect and emotive.
This is truly a beautiful song. It speaks of the position of a Woman who has only ever known how to show 'Love' to a Man through sex. Now, for the first time in her life she is confronted by the fact that she is loved by a Man (Jesus) unconditionally. He does not expect anything from her.....his love is absolutely pure. She realizes that she loves him too. She has always been in control of herself and her feelings, but now, suddenly.....she is no longer in control. She is amazed by what she feels for him.....and terrified too. Wonderful song.....and what a stunning voice Miss Elliman has.
Frances JAMES good interpretation
Beautiful description of this beautiful song
rubbish-just wants his leg over!!!!
@@jackstrop7520 classless response.
wow
your exlanation is so amazing as this song does.
I was 18 when the original album was released. I’m 71 today. It’s still on my top 10 list of albums. Imagine that I still have this dubbel vinyl album in my collection ♥️ Ian Gillan, Murray Head, Yvonne Elliman, Mike d’Abo, PP Arnold ♥️
one of the most beautiful songs ever written and Yvonne is superb
She should have won an Oscar for this role
Yvonne Elliman brings an earthy innocence to Mary. It's easily overlooked since her character doesn't get a lot of time in the spotlight, understated but powerful.
It isn't and cannot be Mary
@@dshort01 It's the other Mary, Mary Magdalene. But reportedly, when Yvonne Elliman was first cast for the part (on the original record album), she was confused about it too. She wasn't familiar with the character, and wondered how "Mary" could be singing the lines in this song.
I disagree. Everyone knows the importance of Mary to Jesus. She perfectly conveys that person who plays the support role to the revolutionary who has the world on his shoulders. He needs less people who want to be seen, heard, accommodated, educated, blessed etc, etc. She's just there being the ONLY person he wouldn't think "Oh this again"
She is awesome.

I love that moment when she tosses her shawl off and sings her heart out.
The lyrics of this musical are so beautiful.
very beautiful indeed
Gia Nina Morales and then she ran off with Eric Clapton
@@wickershampark9941 she sang with him
True.The best musical.Right up there with sound of music.
2:43 YES!!! it grabs my soul! With her hair blowing back with her singing her heart out with all this sincerity one could give.
Has there ever been another song that has laid one’s soul so bare?
I completely forgot this song existed. I’m glad I stumbled across it again. Her voice is special and the emotion she puts in it could never be replicated.
I do remember this song after almost 50 years ago. It reminds me I was in the laboratory performing experiment for my chemistry of O level while someone playing the song loudly in my next classroom.
No one does this like Yvonne Elliman. So many other women have tried, but not even close.
Helen Reddy's version is equally good in my opinion.
Helen Reddy and Agnetha sang nice versions but no singer owns this song like Ms. Elliman.
Helen Reddy's version is just a little better in my opinion. Yvonne is great too.
Helen Reddy did it well- had the 45 as akid
@@thesergio9444 I actually agree with you... Helen Reddy does the BEST version of this song.
2023....50 years, so amazing. Superb lighting and exposure, ahead of its time.
JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD , GOD AND SAVIOR!!
She gets all the best songs in this movie.
Yvonne Eliman - You own this song - No one is ever going to top your performance - Super Just Super - Where are you keeping YOUR GRAMMEY AWARD for this performance - you put your SOUL in this song. Great - Just Great - Let me give you an “AMEN” and another “AMEN” you deserve it - Every one - Say Amen.
Even though I'm an atheist, I love this movie. This part of the movie makes me cry every time. This song is just so beautiful particularly with her voice. This movie is a masterpiece, every song is great.
What is there to be atheistic about?
I believe it is the Lord calling you. He loves you so much.
Exactly the very same feeling...
What does atheism have to do with the film?
Maybe you aren't really an atheist. Why don't you go talk to a pastor at a local church? You never know what may happen.
For me, what makes Yvonne Elliman's rendition better than others who followed her is because she was very young and it shows in her voice. There's an innocence in her voice. Most singers who have followed Yvonne Elliman in *Jesus Christ Superstar* have been much older and had a more "sophisticated" Broadway show tune voice.
Of all the versions of this song I have heard Yvonne Elliman's version moves me the most.
Authenticity is key to her performance 💖
NO FOR ME SHE WAS MORE PASSIONATE AND HAD A MUCH STRONGER VOICE MEL C ISN'T THAT OLD BUT THERE WAS NO PASSION IN HER VOICE JUST BEING HONEST
The Authenticity in the Emotion sells its Reality
I was 11 when I first watched this with all 8 of my brothers and sisters and our parents and I remember them telling one another “oh, we’re going to hear Donna singing all the songs for the next several weeks or so “ 🤩 I love singing since I was so little
There's a lot of very good music in "Superstar." Still, to me, this song is the centerpiece of the opera. It's not a long song, but it encapsulates a lot of the themes at work in the entire piece. Yvonne's voice is so fine here-nobody could have done it more soulfully or beautiful. They chose well when she was cast.
Walter Pewen listen to the 2nd movement of Felix Mendelssohn’s beautiful violin concerto! One of the greatest violin concertos ever composed.
Would you let her sit on your face
@@antonyterranova2811 that's disgusting moron
@@antonyterranova2811 God will get you for that
She was in the original Broadway production as well
The definitive version of this classic. Yvonne's smoky voice carries the song to perfection.
I saw this in the threatre around 1973/74. I was 13/14 years old. It wasn't what I expected but I liked it, Loved this song then...and now.
Yvonne Elliman, she's beautiful and unique in her own ways.
The Queen herself! Thank you Yvonne. I'm 61 now and I remember going to watch this movie with my friend in the 7th grade
Wow! What a powerful delivery. After all these years it still gives me goosebumps.
Yes. I was a little Child in the Paleobotany Lab at the University of Illinois when this record album was released. My parents were Grad. Students in Dr. Phillip's Lab at the time. This album was played over, and over, and over again. I think of those very impressionable times, and my Parents. I will never forget them all. Amy Laughnan
@@amylaughnan2410 q
Brings back so many memories of being a kid.... This record was played over and over at home.
Yes it does
Same, this played constantly when I was a kid, I just watched it again last Sunday, Easter 2022 -love the whole thing regardless of being an atheist
Me, too. This album is one of the first that I listened to.
Yes! Vivid memories sitting in the car backseat. B4 seat belts. Had no idea what the words meant but totally felt the emotion and beauty
All I can say is this is the best version what a vocal so much more real a stunning song.
Many have tried, and some have sung it well. Mel C for instance, but no-one will ever come anywhere near this version. Yvonne Elliman sings this perfectly and with such feeling. She will always be Superstar's Mary Magdalene to me. There are two showpieces in this film. Ted Neeley's "Gethsemane" and this piece de resistance by Yvonne,
This is the movie version of the song. The original cast recording, which she sang on also, is better. Has a better mix.
Yepp!
Das seh ich genauso!!!!
Mel C ???!!! NО WAY!!!
@@NicolaiM654 And Sinead O'Connor does a good version !
48 years and still enjoying this song, beauTIFUL actress and excellent acting from her heart !!! God Bless all the troubled nations and have mercy, take away the virus
Do you really love the song just like me?
This song brings you to your knees - it commands you attention - it goes deep in to your soul - it makes you cry - Such a Powerful performance by Yvonne Elliman - no one could have sang it better - She deserved an Emmy for her performance - She really should have gotten an Emmy - Yvonne Elliman will always be remembered for her GREAT AND POWEFUL SONG - “Jesus Christ Super Star” Thanks Yvonne - You OWN that song .......
Emmys are TV. This is from the movie. Elliman was also in original Broadway cast.
This song, this movie, this soundtrack changed my life in the early 70's,TY TY, I am forever grateful... sooo beautiful!!!
Every time I hear her sing this song IT BRINGS ME TO TEARS
50 years ago she sang this song exquisitely. So heartfelt, you believe every word she's singing.
Absolutely beautiful performance
Do you really love the song just like me?
I get very teary eyed everytime I come to this scene so beautiful
Me also,when I watch this. I have tears in my eyes.
This is the definitive version of this song, so much feeling and emotion.
Yvnonne Elliman can still bring a tear to my eye when she sings this moving song. She has such a stunning, amazing and powerful voice for this song. I love how she brings her character of Mary to life with her style. She's an amazing actress.
This is the ultimate musical performance!. Yvonne sung this with such raw emotion and conviction that you can't help but feel captivated and moved from her interpretation. The epitome of musical performance. Bravo Ms. Elliman... bravo!!
My heart is bless that Miss Elliman record this song and gave us her version. Its extremely beautiful and I love it
A beautiful song by an amazingly talented woman! So wonderful.
I was a young man n fell in love with Yvonne and still am 😊
As I'm dying of cancer, I must say "I don't know how to love her." My lil princess- Ericka- just may be the very best woman ever born. Thank you Ricki, for all you have done for me.
❤️
So am I Robert. I understand.
I am praying for both of you …to be and to remain at peace. No fear.
I am praying for you God Bless
She sounds very special and an amazing person. While I am not dying but I do have brain cancer, and am overwhelmed by people that want to help me. Especially people in my family whom I had estranged myself from. I did that many years ago but when they found out about my diagnosis they all invited me back so they could help take care of me. I’m not good at asking for help and am better at pushing people away, but it did warm my heart seeing and hearing how much they wanted to help. So I decided to take them up on their offer. I was living in El Paso Texas with a Mexican girl I fell in love with. But she had died a couple months just before I was diagnosed. Unexpectedly and suddenly of kidney failure. So I was living in an assisted living house (adult foster care) and finding it more restrictive than I cared for.
I have tears in my eyes. My daughter 26 years old has sung the song in her studium, last year. The song is timeless forever.
Beautiful song performed by a beautiful woman with a remarkable voice.....perfect casting.
Ahh the early seventies......I remember them as though they were yesterday, and this performance brings my memories flooding back.
I'd like to go back then
I have always adored the music from "Jesus Christ Superstar" and Yvonne's version of this tune is outstanding!!!
Yvonne can put man to his knees with that song & voice just love her!🥰
the lyrics....her interpretation....so beautiful.....somehow we all can relate...
I was in high school only a few years ago and I can honestly say this womans voice was like a cloud beneath my feet at times for those 3 years
I can hear the love in her voice.
Yvonne Elliman is fantastic in everyway. 😘
She was so beautiful, so talented, what a beautiful song and The MAN she is singing about is my LORD, GOD, and SAVIOR!!!
Her eyes speak to the depths of her emotions as much as her beautiful voice. This song and its performance is an epic masterpiece.
Tears to my eyes. ..she was amazing 👏👏👏❤❤❤
I’ve loved this song since I got the record in 1973
Makes me
Cry every time❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯
What can you say, Just Beautiful.
Wonderful. Her acting was Superb, too.
Talented Lady. She's still Beautiful
now. Thank You. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I‘ m on my knees and stay there till the song keeps moving my heart, mind and my poor soul.
Sang this at school in choir i was only 13 , such emotion such feeling within bbut as a little girl I couldn't understand it , it still moves 2day and I'm 56 XXX
Wow- hearing this takes me back 50 years to when I first heard it- so powerful and moving!!!
Timeless song! ...thank you ....Jesus Christ Superstar whizzing around the corner on Yamaha!.. fuzz were there didn't care Jesus left them standing in their underwear!... learnt that one at primary school👍
🤣🤣👍🏻the good old days.
Only Yvonne should be allowed to sing this most beautiful song. So much of it is what She puts into it. I love it.
She's got this gig down. Nobody embodies this like her.
I could listen to this over and over and over again.!
Innocence. No pretention. Clear singing without frills, just a powerful and emotive delivery. Brings me to tears.
I can identify with part of the song, about Jesus, because even *I* don't know how to love Him.
And then there is the element in the song that Mary, the character, is struggling with feelings of amorous love for Jesus, but His divinity is so powerful that she would flee if he reciprocated that amorous feeling. Must have been a very tough place to be, to be attracted to Jesus but to feel in your very bones that He is not truly of the Earth, but of Heaven.
I’ve heard a hundred covers of this song over the years but this always brings me to tears. It’s the emotion she puts into it that you can feel with every word and every note.
The original and still the best version.
I remember when it hit on the radio. I've love it ever since, and I'm an atheist.
Impressive interpretation. I think I have heard this a lot of times but every time I feel the same emotions when listening to Yvonne Elliman.
To the point...Timeless performance by Yvonne Elliman...Thank you for his high quality video..!!!
To tears! Beautiful. As I get older it means so much more!
I saw the stage play and had the album when I was 9 years old. My 11 yr old sister and I used to act out the album and we'd always fight over who got to do this part!
That is too cute! I can relate, me and my friends did similar things ;)
Мне тоже было около 10 лет, когда мы с сестрой слушали этот шедевр, записанный на магнитофон в СССР🙌
I have always loved this song. Never tire listening to it. Yvonne Elliman puts heart and soul into it. Wonderful!
Stunning, just stunning!
This song got to me and I was only a child 50 years ago. ❤️
What a stunning song and what an incredible voice to convey her frightening sense of utter confusion.
This song brings you to your knees - it commands you attention - it goes deep in to your soul - it make you cry - Such a Powerful performance by Yvonne Elliman - no one could have sang it better -! She deserved an Emmy for her performance - it’s a must. Thanks Yvonne - your performance is in the history books. I wish I had seen the Broadway Play - I wish they would bring it back to Broadway - Let’s is all write a petition to bring “Jesus Christ Superstar” back to Broadway - Amen - We need it
Always brings me to tears
Beautiful Yvonne Elliman ... ❤
I love music that makes me feel as this presentation does. I keep coming back to listen to her sing this because it is important to me in so many ways.
Do you really love the song just like me?
BRRR, STILL GETS THE GOOSEBUMPS EACH TIME I HEAR HER SINGING THIS CLASSIC SONG.
Still Love this song, Forever! Thank you Miss Yvonne.
The best, since all these years ❤

Amazing performance of Yvonne !

None Better!!!! Lyrics and performance. Music from my youth, none better!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing Jesus Christ Superstar again with my 50 year old daughter in a couple weeks. We saw it as a family in the 80’s with the original Jesus Ted Neeley’s last performance. She was surprised her old mom wanted to go! 😂 Can’t wait!
she brings in everyone with the emotion that she brings to the song
Yvonne is a goddess and I love this song
I was 11 when I watched this movie….I still love it…I love him so
From HELLO STRANGER this beautiful lady is still beautiful and aged gracefully. Still one of my favorites.!!
