Okay this version isn't disgusting or horrible guys, seriously. It's actually kinda nice. But after saying that, it can't even compare to the original. At all. I like to consider them completely different songs. :3
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for putting it together, Papilion78 - great job. How nice to see the highlights of SYTYCD. Like many people here, "Seasons of Love" is one of my favorites. I agree that the delivery (singing) could've been better, but I actually liked the laidback groove of this remix. Oh, and Jamiroquai rocks, too.
If you are going to have a song in a video at least have the decency to find out who wrote the song. Otherwise you'll end up with fans getting angry at you. This version of "Seasons Of Love" sucks. Johnathan Larson wrote it. Johnathan Larson worte aids into it for two reasons. The first is that he was inspired by "La Boheme" which envolved the plague and aids was the plague of the 1980's. The other reason was that he had some friends who died of aids and they are who the play is about.
what the hell did this guy do to an AMAZING song. its supposed to be slow. the original has soooooooooo much power and meaning. i bet johnathon larson is rolling over in his grave. he would be pissed that this guy just runed his amazing song. any song from rent should NEVER be changed!!!!
pure,..unadulterated....never before seen....breathtaking,... SHIT. honestly. all of it. the WHOLE production. the song. the dancers. the interpretation. the stage. the setting. they did not do justice to this BEAUTIFUL song....PURE SHIT PEOPLE. CONGRATS.
I don't like this version. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying Donny is not a good artist, I just like the original version better. Good job on the video.
@IlovePOTO3 it was based of the stage production La bohème, but was re-written to show the world the effects of AIDS and to help those suffering through it. Shows you how to continue when the one you love dies. It's promoting the prevention of AIDS.Why do you think in 'La Vie Bohem' they have the sudden break out of "Actual reality, act up, fight AIDS". They also go to Aid help groups, Angel, Collins, Roger and Mimi all have AIDS as well...
@IlovePOTO3 rent is in partial, about aids. Its about alot of things, its basically about all the big issues and things that have changed in this world, like homosexuality or transexuality, or drug use or -yes- aids. RENT is about alot of things. but you are right - this donny desmond guyruined this song
AIDS has so much to do with it, sure the whole general concept is to just live through the saying no day but today but in the actual plot, aids had quite a bit to do with it.
@equilibrium0994 AIDS affected the story a lot, but RENT wasn't about AIDS. it was about living life to the fullest while coping with the problem of paying rent and dealing with AIDS.
@equilibrium0994 except that when u commented, it seemed like u were having an argument with yourself cause ur 1st 13 words and last 9 words gimme the impression that rent was about aids,while the other part, ur saying it wasnt about aids. besides, not everyone had aids/hiv.
@birthdayjin i said that aids had alot to do with RENT which is does, but i said how generally it was about living life to the fullest, how is that contradictory? Im stating a generalization and then something else about it. look im not going to sit here and argue with you over what I commented..this is youtube not the united nations..
I think you guys are being hard on this guy/girl! RENT is about how a group of friends stick together even through many issues, one of the main ones being AIDS!
Since you folks are so closed to other ideas, why waste time in posting? Sure the origianal may be good but this isn't bad if you hadn't heard theoriginal. It just sounds like it was remixed. Keep an open mind.
Eeep...I liked it the first way!! I kinda feel like singing it any other way is butchering it...call me an insane fan but that's just how I feel...*wince*
Oh gosh, the first few second i was like "maybe i can suffer thru this version of the song and it won't be half bad" but hell i can't even suffer thru it! Oh gosh, i feel nausiated now!
spazzzzzz no no no no no no no no NOO!!!!! this is RENT seasonsof love he kills this good sobng this is almost as bad as miley cryus singing girls just wanna have fun. aaaaaahhhh make it stop.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
guess what... every one is just jealous donny osmond can sing. and you can. so go find someone who cant sing. then see if i care.and Genepaquin... he did awesome at the song. dont be jealous. you probably suck dick at singing. i'll bet you do. so just go... do soemthing.
nicew trip down memory lane, I hung at Pete & Lenny;s it Ft. Lauderdale...lots of people I knew from then are dead now...AIDS..this brings back good memories.
the whole meaning of the song was pretty much "do what you love" so, in essence you could put this song to pretty much anything you wanted as long as it was a passion of yours... it's like, live in the now, do what makes you happy, etc.... so if dancing is your passion, then this song makes perfect sense to this video
nope..... no... just- just... no.... you need to be amazing to sing this song by yourself..... on another song this guys voice would be okay... but not here...... [shivers] you NEED the cast...
