Who in your opinion gave the best performance of this classic song? Let us know in the comments!

[VeganStories]

It’s how she goes from strong confident and unapproachable to vulnerable and even stronger… it’s flawless. Flawless I tell you

[dragomirmarinov]

Hands down the most talented Spice Girl, with a completely unique voice.

[ManuelFlores-odul]

She not only sings well but also acts well. She is a complete artist.

[bellhops]

This character is too often played as a timid women in a mans world but I love this characterisation from Mel. She plays the character as words in the song describe her, a woman in control, running every show. A women of power and great strength, yet falling for Jesus in a way she has never let a man get to her before. Just a wonderful interpretation. I hope this sets the tone for all future characterisations of Mary

[mrbooklover]

The voice of the 90s. Such a beautiful unique sound.

[muttlee]

not the first time have seen Mel C perform this but keep being blown away at the emotional performance she gives! She is fabulous!

[stephaniemouraponcepasini]

I just watched Jesus Christ Superstar and OMG SHE'S MARVELOUS!

[jeromefehn]

Such emotional acting/singing, even when Jesus kisses her hand and she takes a 'quickening breath'. Marvelous rendition. Felt I was there.

[CS]

The best version of this song ever. You're not just listening to a song, but you can feel the emotion.

[smithmann]

Now I remember why I fell in love with Mel C 20 years ago. And she only gets better with age.

[Pantherking]

Wow!!! I have always thought only 1 person could EVER do this the justice it deserves & that was Yvonne Elliman BUT Melanie, Melanie, Melanie!! Where on earth did you hide this level of You not only gave this a whole new feeling, you absolutely blew it outta the park!! Amazing doesn't touch the sides imo!!!

[fruzsimano]

Her voice and personality was made for this very role. I cannot recall a better role & singer/actress match.

[gothard]

Always has been and always will be my favorite spice girl. She is absolutely amazing. I honestly had no idea she did this.

[madzv]

0:19... Such small expression but feels like it symbolizes/expresses the full song

[gregpeake]

Honestly the very best in the history of this musical. No one sings like her.

[gavinmurray]

I really enjoyed Yvonne Elliman in the original movie but Mel C, in a different but equally powerful interpretation, really kills it. She has matured in her own right as a soloist and an amazing artist.

[moosehoof]

I love that she included this song in her stages album, she sings it so well

[dellsmith]

Melanie C was absolutely incredible as Mary. Such an underrated talent. I saw her in Blood Brothers also, again incredible and well deserved Olivier nomination for her performance

[chaseriver]

She is simply.... incredible. Embodies the essence of the character perfectly and flawlessly.
