John Legend and Sara Bareilles Did a Powerhouse Performance of a Broadway Classic
The two Grammy winners performed this song from Jesus Christ Superstar in 2018.
In 2018, The Voice Coach John Legend and Sara Bareilles joined forces for a performance special of the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. Bareilles handled the character Mary Magdalene, while Legend played the titular role of Jesus.
During the performance of the track "Everything's Alright," Bareilles and Legend's chemistry and acting were totally electric. Legend actually won an Emmy for his work as a producer on the special, giving him an EGOT. (For the unfamiliar, that moniker is given to someone who's won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.)
