John Legend lived up to his name on Sunday night.
The 10-time Grammy Award-winning artist performed in NBC’s live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar Live on Sunday in the titular role as Jesus Christ. Even though his experience as on-stage performer is small compared to many of his fellow cast members, he still managed to put on a showstopping performance with songs like “Gethsemane.”
