Today, I performed in a rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar at my school. When it came time for my big solo, a whopping two lines, I forgot the words, making for an awkward eight seconds of silence. FML

Hi, OP here! We had two flawless performances before this one, and several rehearsals before that. So no, I was not unprepared in the least. I think the problem came from the lack of sleep I had before this specific performance, because; with my luck, I happened to catch a cold the night before. Thanks for the positive comments, I feel like posting this has helped me overcome the embarrassment by giving me the opportunity to laugh at my own plight! :)

Funny how nobody seems to know that Jesus Christ Superstar is actually a musical. Like Cats or Starlight express.

You should've acted as if it were a part of your solo. The audience probably wouldn't have known

Although I have no idea how you could forget the words to JCS as it's so incredibly amazing, I agree that would be very annoying and embarrassing. I feel ya.

I hope you're not wondering why they didn't give you more lines. lol

Dang, sorry to hear that this happened. But it's not *that* much of a big deal. This happens allll the time OP :) You're not the only one, trust me.

Did the Jews atleast stab you with spears and take your shekels?

This reminds me of that FML where that guy gets a boner while performing Jesus Christ Superstar
