Me as Daphne Rubin Vega as Fantine

[sxybachottie]

bwhahaahahahahaha.... and u had to finish the whole song.. i almost died laughing!!!.. Lea actually replaced her i remember.

[Horselo285]

You should sing Come to me (Fantine's death) as Daphne....I watched it a few minutes ago and it made me feel sick...she is awful!

[Horselo285]

OMG...Im laughing so hard right now! You sound JUST like her! Its amazing!! LMAO You are actually probably doing a better job then her.......

Honestly though....WHAT WERE THEY THINKING casting her as Fantine? Shes awful in the role! Glad I didn't see it with her!

[ezekielg444]

spot on! :)))))

[guynguy]

Brilliant! 

[phillipBR]

PERFECT!

[AtTheMusicalsCom]

Had to return and watch it again.

[AtTheMusicalsCom]

Just had everyone in the vicinity asking what im laughing so loud at... AMAZING. Tweet more!

[flamingmelody]

Mean way of saying what I was thinking...

[daphneydezzi]

bahahahahahahahahahahaha

[jaymehxx]

@myscandalromance this is a very true story

[BroadwayBootlegs121]

Daphne Is Just Not The Right Person To Play Fantine

[Dimmerstar9]

Very nice... :D

[BlazedGlory]

this is original Michael!

[angeldemusik69]

that is so funny, hahaha, god you are hot :P, specially at the "...As they turn your dream to SHAAAAAAME!!!... part" hahahahaha. Kudos!!! ?(:

[jaymehxx]

wow, you actually sound better than she did.

[ZiggleWiggleKat09]

Beautiful.

[singsingsing22]

Daphne was wonderful!!!!! i love her!!!

[donnatella]

omg spot on! love your acting!

[phantastic233]

omg i can't stand daphne, this is brillant!

[minayah7]

OMG STOP!! LMAO. you need to stop thats too funny.

[remnantpark]

Perfection! HAHA

[flailingflo]

HAHA Dont think carson quite got it!

[bananabasket]

In fact, I'd say Carson is very, very confused.

[carsonmaier14]

huh? i am. quite confused. I didn't mean to insult. i'm sorry if i did. i love your voice. oooh. i get it now :( i love daphne...

oh well.

haha sorry again.

[Safuza]

It's been over a year, and I STILL laugh every time I see this vid!!!!! =DDDDDDDDDD

[Iwantvoids]

HILARIOUS> Sounds exactly like her. PMLLLLLL

[nightingale4400]

LMFAO I genuinely laughed out loud.

Good job.

[marysorandom]

this is GREAT! just make sure you don't hurt your own voice by imitating her hamburger vocal chords.

[glowskull9]

this was a terrible rendition of daphne rubin vega as fantine, because your voice was not nearly as "mouse-like" as hers was in that.

but really, this was hilarious. your facial expressions, and the fact that you did it make it awesome.

when i saw the 2006 LM revival I honestly could not believe that someone was ruining fantine as poorly as she did. when she re-appears during the finale i was so upset because i had to hear her even more.

[blackviper88]

HAHAHA "I had a dream my life would be so different from this bitch I'm living" You just cracked me up...Is this a ghetto version of Fantine?

[Thewaiter525600]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HILARIOUS.

I love Daphne too, but let's get real. she was not a great fantine.

[lonbon06]

genius!

[KTunstallMusic]

i really luv it !!

[Shakespeareguru37]

omg this is so spot on its amazing.

Everyone in the audience was clapping so hard after she died. I ve seen les mis in so many theaters and she is the worst fautine ive ever seen

[jzilla74]

THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE

[jaryd12345]

This scared my dog

[WeirdFro]

no words can describe you other than this one: perfect

[chocliltiger]

As soon as you sang no day but today I just cracked up!!!

I love Daphne and personally think she's brilliant (especially as mimi) but I found this quite amusing!

Great impressions (perhaps not on the high notes; how do you go that high for a man?)

[thatelephantgirl]

This was SPOT ON, I swear. And I loved the "No day but today", and how you hit your arm when you sang "I had a dream my life would be" just like she does in Out Tonight when she sings "Where all the scars of the nevers and maybes die."

[teenie809]

omg i didn't know whether to laugh or cry! i particularly liked the softer parts. you nailed it!

[RaWrZzZz]

victors frightened face staring over your shoulder is so epic xD

[singxforxme04]

hahahaha

i saw all your other videos, you're very very talented!!!!

this just cracks me up

I love this song.

also neat Harry Potter thing in the back there.

oh yes i noticed

and i kind of adore it

[forgetregret12]

Cute! I love Daphne, even though she has a "I had nails for breakfast, bitch" kind of voice!

[thelivesofme1]

hahahahahaahahah,perfect

[nzm8310]

hahah so adorable

and you captured her so well

but next time you capture her....put her in a cage so she will never go on broadway again

u can take her placelol

[netchaeva]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! You nailed it!!! Daphne's voice is very unique, and you did a great job. I love your Patti as well!

[jenniNabottle]

I just died a little bit with this plus all your Patti videos :)

and now your poster!?

you're fabulous. congrats.

[NyBoundJoe]

PLEASE do out tonight as daphne!

[vilivau]

guessing that you like harry potter (else you wouldn't have him on your wall?), do you listen to mugglecast by chance? great videos, by the way :)

[XGERARDWAYX03]

you started singing and i swear i fell off my chair. your seroiusly too funny.

[HappyMadisonDude]

Hilarious!

[YouCANTsing1234]

you're a MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lonbon06]

haha.

[michellet22]

o gosh

hilarious :3

good job

[GaminattheBarricades]

I'm sorry--but how the heck do you do it??!

Daphne is such a difficult voice to do...

this is freaking amazing...great job

still cracks me up

[clearbu2]

LMfao. Aaaah this makes me laugh.

[zephanld]

ASHFJDAGFHDS amazing!!!!!!

[phoenixusa]

brilliant!

[iZykle]

im weirded out.. LOL

[54spiritedwill54]

wow dude wow

that is all there is to say to that

rotfl

[joshbygosh89]

please come to my house and paint that harry potter thing on my wall.

[ohmisselphaba]

HAHAHAH LMFAO! nailed it! you do a better daphne than daphne.

[kaitibobaitiii]

EXACTLY like her. Lmfaooo.

[rentheadandproud]

Spot-on, sadly. I love Daphne as Mimi, but Fantine was not her best...

[hoskievids]

I had the misfortune of seeing her in that role. Ouch.

This impersonation is really... spot on. Kudos. ;P

[tatyrules12]

u should sing rent stuff as her and get like a really big curly wig and sing out tonight or something lol

[tatyrules12]

HAHAHAA!!!! mike u rock

i was laughing my ass off!!

[zephanld]

you are amazing.

[renthead102]

AMAZING!

[RaWrZzZz]

seriously i was having panic attack laughing and rooling around and almost fallig out of my chair. i was liemkscreamign with laughter.

[getablaza]

First of all, love the painting in the background.

Also, got a huge kick out of this (and all of your videos). Brill!

[scottishforjon]

fucking hilarious.

[nrbta18]

okay Daphne, now you can take off this man outfit :)

man, you were great

sounded just like her!

very funny

[MilviSnow]

funny ending!!! LOL hahaha

[Vittorimo]

iunno guys, i liked daphne. it gave a different character of voice to the part. think about it: would fantine sound like an upper class woman singing, complete with vibrato and all, or like a woman who sounds as if she has been through a lot, with a rugged post-smokers tone?

[MattBarlow]

There's nothing realistic about the music in Les Miz to begin with.

[RaWrZzZz]

can i hug you??

[MilviSnow]

HAHAHA!!! Funny coz it's true!

[Bovineman]

You'r Harry Potter wallpaper sends sensual chills up my spine.

Long, lustful, nerve-tingling chills.

[bananabasket]

It's actually a mural I painted!

[BaileyOnBroadway]

Okay so I LOVE Fantine .. when Patti played her. And when Patti played her I cried. But Rubin .. sucked. I really hated it and I agree with musicguy .. I was happy when she died. GOOD JOB :)

[WickedShowSinger]

OMG.

Teehee.

[mcfit707]

Where your Les Mis shirt at, bitch?

[musicguy2723]

You are so right!! I actually think you have a better voice.  she mutilated this song. When her character died, I APPLAUDED!!!!

[payette]

that was so funny! she did sing it like she was in rent. Really great, I laughed out loud a lot.

[sabbythemusoo]

AHAHA.

Omgsh. Omgsh. That's so funny.

I dare you to sing Phantom of the Opera. (Like I did in front of so many people.) The Cadenza at the end kills the voice.

[renethel]

It shouldn't kill the voice if performers sing that almost 8 times a week.

[Cbwidesmile]

isnt that role double cast on b-way like in the west end?

[renethel]

there's an alternate. i was just too lazy to write that LOL!

[toddcedric]

I love how long these videos are..i cant handle it!!1 too fucking funny!!!

[summerangel1010]

lol this is so funny!!!!!!

[BushSuxAss]

total shit.

[jimmycurry01]

WOW! I love you for that. I laughed my ass off.

[athespiangirl]

Between "so different from this BITCH" and "No Day But Today" I swear I almost died from suffocation from laughing.

[bananabasket]

I'm glad I brought some joy and suffocation to your life. :D

[kylebank]

omfg freakin hilarious!

[atomicpenguin]

Oh my God. I love you. Marry me, please?

[bananabasket]

I'll consider it.

[ahowell31]

Absolutely Brilliant!!!!!!

[athespiangirl]

brilliant!

[spookythebando]

this kinda made my night/life/week. :-)

[bananabasket]

I'm so glad. :D

[QueenofAvelon]

YES!

[AshIsOutrageous]

AHHAHAHHAHAHA...ahahahha...ha haha. I think I'm dying. That was the greatest...seriously.

[sroberge]

omg u sound just like her! lol thats so amazing

[UnofficialMusicBoxxx]

You sound like her... compliment or insult, I'm not sure. But that was dead on...

[GothEmoGirls]

I like it when u pretend u r emo, youre BORING now.

[Wicked8DefyGravity]

OMG YOU LIKE HARRY POTTER! I'm a large fan :) Nice job!

[jami215]

This is amazing. :] haaaha.

[MEASUREiNLOVExx3]

This is pure genius. Of course we all love DRV but that was a priceless imitation. Dead-on. Nice job, haha!

[idontownidinaiRENT]

no, we do not all love daphne rubin-vega.

[Safuza]

luv Daphne..but this vid is absolutely hysterical!!

[xGossipxoGirlx]

Nice No DAY BUT TODAY PART!!!

[xGossipxoGirlx]

NICE HP POSTER. So random. Nice daphne rubin vega voice btw. My friend and I were laughing hysterically!!!!

[bananabasket]

It's actually a mural I painted. Thanks!

[num1chicky12]

wow dude wow

that is all there is to say to that

rotfl

[LoveToBroadway]

a. I love the Harry Potter background

b. I love how authentically you imitate her.

c. I just generally love you. <3

[littlemizbroadway]

i LOOOOOOVE this video its just like her i went to see her in les mis( my 8 time seeing it) and after that number i walked out i could not stand her lol

[singsingsing22]

she is great!!!!!! just because her voice is the pretty operetic type doesnt mean she is aweful

[drmanerd]

Fantines have never been the "operatic" type. Listen to the score. But having a voice that's SUPER terrible actually DOES make you awful!!

[borgqueen45]

wow. that was just exactly right. haha, you get so into it. "so different from this bitch" haha

oh and i like the harry potter mural...

[heymister95]

OMG i love DRV but OMG LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CleanSockz]

. . .omg thats scary lol, i love her but u do sound like her lol

[feelingfanaticx]

that was super cutee omg. i loved it

[mickau4c]

Hahahha,

this is genius, exact like her....you can work as double....you sound like her....that´s really funny and genius.......that´s great

[mrsjohnlloydyoung]

WOW!

I love Daphne, but this video kills me.

Thanks for posting, this totally made my day:)

hahahahahahaha

[sullenity]

hehehehe

[jhgkhgkhgj]

i know im sorry i hate her voice shes HORRIBLE lol

[jhgkhgkhgj]

AHAHA!

[DrDillamond]

Holy fucking shit. I just peed my pants.

Thank you. Dude. seriously.

[bradythed]

finally someone else besides me who thinks she can't sing!!!! Not knocing her acting... but I'm just sick of hearing all the idiots saying she has the best voice in the world when she has one of the worst....

[jizsaw]

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaa­hahahahhahahahahahahaahhahahah­ahahhahaha

[Galaxygrrl]

michael burback you are the shit1 dead on. thank you for letting us laugh our asses off! you nailed her!

[wahple]

[bananabasket]

AHAHAHAHAA that was perfect!! and i love the harry potter in the background!

im playing fantine in january, and i hope to play it just like you! lol =p

[xasphyxiation]

[Madkochie]

That was like... perfect.

[TRASHCANbeauty]

omg, please please PLEASE

come to my school and do that.

holy tolidos, you are the second coming of daphne rubin vega.

becuase, that was more than perfect

[goldenpotato34]

i could not stop laughing!!!!!!insanely funny!!!!

[goldenpotato34]

is it supposed to be funny cuz it really is?!

[bananabasket]

Eh?

[sadtoy2]

"you're funny" to which the receiver of the compliment might reply "you're funny too." People around aren't quite sure which meaning is being used, and so it doesn't make things awkward. :)

[studpup]

lol. oh man. you ftw. seriously lol that was brilliant! more please! :)

[Galaxygrrl]

I like your version MUCH better. you should try out. ;)

[wwwFOKnl]

OMFG, this has to be the most hilarious spoof ever! Props!

[SteelgodLink]

haha nice

[Pekingchicken]

Wow. That was really painful sounding. And by painful I mean spot on.

[jjlieb]

Stunning impression. You should take it on the road. :P

[jgaonjr]

This is so funny! You are hilarious and very talented!

And you painted the Harry Potter mural? Wow, is there anything you CAN'T do?

[fetzles1490]

Mind if I add you on myspace? That was absolutely hilarious, I effing loved it. Brillianttttt.

[mogs19]

This was basically the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! Plus, it sounds exactly like her and I love the haryy potter in the back round!

[x9HelloBeautiful]

I saw her in January in Les Mis. I almost cried... but not because the lyrics are beautiful. I ALMOST CRIED BECAUSE SHE KILLED THE SONG!

But yes, this was very, very amusing.

And you are quite handsome. :D

[SaturnUP]

lol nice

when i first heard Daphne Rubin-Vega as fantine

i was like oh Daphne, you and your shenanigans

im diggin the accompaniment too

reminded me of final fantasy on NES lmao

[BroadwayFan31]

The Harry Potter cutout behind you is AMAZING. Oh MY. Did you make that?!?!

[TelevisionJett]

...brought tears to my eyes. The best I've ever heard. LMAO

[Whyler19]

hola im emo but inside,,,and you are very funny jajajaj nos vemos chico libiano¡¡¡

[iCrazyChick]

only one word for the performance and thats WOW!

[atebbe]

Spot on. Kudos.

[briwaters]

omg. you should hear andrew keenan-bolger do this same impression. it's awesome.

you're good too.

[bananabasket]

I've never seen that! Link?

[crawlfan]

This is actually you singing? Wow... 0_0

Good impression, but Daphne was still good.

[bananabasket]

Yes, it's me singing. :D

[crawlfan]

I thought it was a lip sync to someone else or something. Serious talent you have there, though ^___^

[bananabasket]

lol thank you. :D I doubt it will take me very far.

[crawlfan]

Try Saturday Night Live. Maybe they have a Broadway version of it.

I could have sworn it was a woman, so maybe you could be the voice over if Daphne ever sings as Fantine again =P

[bananabasket]

I can sing really high. XD

[sbkness5]

i love the harry potter poster =)

[bananabasket]

It's a mural. :D

[sbkness5]

i still like it =)...did u make it?

[bananabasket]

Yes, I painted it.

[sbkness5]

woah! thats amazing!(good job on the song btw...my flute teacher's boyfriend was in a band with her and we always made fun of her when she was in les miz =))

[trixiebell62792]

SO DIFFERENT FROM THIS BITCH I'M LIVING!!!

That's the best freaking part of the whole thing.That and the arm slap.You just made my day!

[TRWolf]

Hilarious! I think I just peed a little.

Sounded a bit like Macy Gray!

[ladymarz]

Wow...I think I'm inlove XD

[LiveAndLoveLife]

Daphne doesn't whisper... she also is a little more steady and feirce with her voice... this was a little too like a little old woman singing than rock'n'roll Daphne.

[dmgrooms]

i've shown your video a thousand times to friends in this business.....HYSTERICAL and spot on.....you never fail to make me laugh...hope you are well! You have some good visabitlity just so you know....if you knew some of the high profile people who have laughed with me at your work......you would be impressed!

Keep it up buddy!

doug

[bananabasket]

Why thank you. But that kind of made me nervous. :D

[lesmisloony]

Will you marry me?
