  • woah his voice is just...woah

  • Adam Pascal is Sex with Legs !!

  • Adam hols his last note for like 11 seconds. Dayum. o_o

    Tamyra <3. Her, Daphne and Rosario are ALL awesome. I dont care about a "favourite", theyre all excellent in my eyes.

  • Adam: "grrrrrr..."

    

  • tamyra can really sing.

  • amazing.

  • adam pascal was made to play to role of roger. everyone else sucks. hes AMAZING

  • This is one of the best duets of all-time...whether it is in a musical or not; I can listen to this non-stop!!!!

  • the spin at 3:41, I don't know why I like it so much.

  • Adamn Pascal is the one and ONLY Roger Davis! That role belongs to nobody else but him! He rocks

  • He sounds like a parrot on crack.

  • I don't understand how Adam Pascal can sound 100000x better live on Broadway than he did in that shitty Rent movie.

  • Because this is live the movie is not movies have "tools" in which to "clean up" any rough patches of a persons voice... biggest mistake in movie makeing history in my oppinion! ESP concidering Adam Pascal his voice is absouly amazing it's pretty unique if you ask me and it got kind of fucked up in the movie although it DID still sound good

  • love!!!...i saw vanessa hudgens sing this with someone and it was horrible like her but eww!!!...this was much better but like 100!!!

  • LOVE HER. 

  • Adam is one awesome performer! Tamyra rocked in this show too!

  • I was there a few days before, this cast was insane. Adam messed up during la vie boheme though hahaha.

  • That doesn't sound like adam.... some times it does but he musthave been losing his voice.

  • BAH... Will Chase RULES!

  • zoom in!!!!!!!

  • I love Adam Pascal. His voice is so cool.

  • frig i love adams voice so frikken much

    actually got goosebumps from Tamyra definatly up there with like the best Mi Mi's

    i would her hair to be long though lol

    xxx

    :)

  • I like her voice.

  • Adam Pascal's voice sounds very unique in this number

    i luv it!

  • Listen to Adam...he sounds all rock star!!! Chills... =0) <3

  • i wish her hair was long because that complete's the whole Mimi thing

  • The best Roger and one of the best Mimis!

  • Actually Maureen and Joanne don't have AIDS.

  • Tamyra Gray is by far one of the best Mimis there has ever been and will ever be! She is awesome! Not to mention nobody will ever be as good as Adam Pascal!

  • Goodbye Love, Not Finale A :)

  • hum... Adam's voice in this video is quite raspy...

  • hey, Does the character Roger actually have AIDS?

  • yes... that's the reason for all of the "baggage" stuff and the "I should tell you's".

  • @imetcarmencusack You're really asking this question?

  • @vivalaboheme666 yes. I was actually, because At the Time I asked it, I didnt know as much about the show. Calm Down.

  • wow adam is ahhhhh mazing i saw him in st louis and he hugged me! i cant wait to see him and anthony rapp in cincinnati

    rent is my life! i luv it

  • You haven't seen RENT til you've seen it on stage.

  • Wow. I have never had the pleasure of seeing this on broadway, but have seen the movie countless time, and I can't imagine anyone else playing Roger, but this girl blew Rosario out of the water in my opinion. Loved the way she stressed the "give in to love or live in fear" line. Favourite line out of the movie, by far. I hope one day I get to see this performed live.

  • Most actors who have performed Mimi onstage would "blow Rosario out of the water". :) Singing the role eight times a week is a little different than recording vocals for a movie soundtrack.

  • Although I'm sure thats true, theres only 2 actresses as Mimi that I have ever heard before this and that is Rosario and whoever is on the Original Soundtrack, and I cannot stand the woman on the original soundtracks voice, so Rosario was my favourite. But now Tamyra Gray is my favourite Mimi from what ive seen.

  • i love adam pascal! i noticed tht he sounds exactly the same in the movie and live! he is just awesome! i liked him better with longer hair in the movie! i still say tht rosario was better. but its an opion! and if u want to say tht her voice was alterded and she was aweful! think if she was so bad how could she get the part! but this mimi is great!

  • They're so good!

  • Adams a GREAT singer. As is Tamyra of course

  • Adam Voice is so unique, -,- i heard the songs from another guy that played Roger, but -.,- doesn't match, Roger, is Adam, the voice of Adam TOT the best

  • this is the best broadway show ever!

  • her voice is beautiful =)

  • i wish ther was a close up of this.

  • That "TO LOVE" was amazing!

  • And so was the "NO OTHER WAY".

  • i think its funny how a lot of people rejected by american idol go on to better things. she's SO amazing. and adam is very sexy :]

  • I KNOW!!! but i think she is AMAZING in this... very very beautiful voice

  • i was visiting new york the week before adam and anthony came back to do rent. i left just two days before i would have got to see them. >:l

    still i saw tamyra and she was really great.

  • When I saw the show, Tamyra's mic went out during "Out Tonight," so she had to sing without any microphone and we could still hear her perfectly.

    She really has an amazingly strong voice.

  • i saw this august 4th with them! they were amazing!

  • She's amazing! She could pass as Joanne, Mimi, or Maureen.

  • I love the movie, and then I saw Rent on stage, and it is SOOOOOOOOO much better than the movie!!! One of my faves, definately!

  • adam is HOOOTTT!!!!!

  • yes, very.

  • i was watching this when they were in san diego with Lexi Lawson and Adam Pascal and while they were kissing i said "she's making out with my man" and a couple laughed and others gave me dirty looks... but she was

  • lol!!!!!!! i went to Rent with my friend and after Another Day when mimi and adam were hugging she went like all loud, "lucky bitch". everyone in our like section looked at her. it was soo funny.

  • i wish tamyra was mimi

    when i saw it in hollywood

    D8

  • this was amazing. i saw it.

  • I'm going to see Adam and Anthony on Sunday! I am sooo excited! Tamyra is amazing!

  • hands down tamyra gray has the best mimi voice ever

  • i like's mimi voice better too

  • Their voices sound amazing together... the blocking i don't like as much

  • That doesn't sound like Adam Pascal to me...

  • yeah it does. The beginning is a little different but listen to some key points where he sounds unique...it's him.

  • It totally sounds like him, what are you talking about?

  • tamyra gray has an amazing voice! she was on american idol for a reason.. that being her great voice. she plays a great mimi

  • the guy playing roger was in the movie school of rock he was in the band that jack black got kiki out of

  • yeah, he was the lead singer of no vacancy.

  • Ohh yEAHH!HH!H!! haha i just realized that haah!! YEAA

  • He was in SLC Punk too, but he was Roger first lol (he's the original).

  • she is my fave mimi!! she has an amzing voice!! love it!!

  • Adam Pascal and Tamyra Gray do this song the best ive heard it i wish she was in the movie haha.

  • ME LOVE ADAM PASCAL!!!!!

  • she reinvented the role

    fab.

  • Hey, RENT fans.... some guy on The Wedding Singer video just wrote me, saying:

    "The people from rent don't do anything important, that's what makes the play unintentionally hilarious. They sit around and complain. That's the play. And they get AIDS."

    PLEASE reply with what you think!

    READ MORE of what he said: Just search "the wedding singer tony awards" and it should be the first video!

    Isn't it so stupid he said that? omigod, I just want to scream!

  • omg i was getting intensly angry reading that :( i need to just cool down lol. we need to ignore them

  • mmmhmmmm. that isn't all he said, there were pages of his hate towards RENT.

  • he's jealous.

  • i loved seeing rent on the stage this past month! if you EVER have the oppritunity to see this, DO IT!!!

  • I love Broadway... everytime I go to NY I try to see a Broadway play

  • perfect duo!

  • did you guys hear that their comming out with a dvd recording of the live show. omg comes out FEB. 3 so excited!!!

  • Rosario may sound good 'in the movie' but have you heard her sing live? she had the advantages of studio editing. It really isn't fair to compare the real Mimis to Rosario

  • Tamyra Gray and Rosario

    Dawson sing this song perfect!!!

  • i love rent and Adam Pascal but i want Rosario

    Dawson!!!

  • His voice sounds evil in the begining

  • adam pascal sounds so good ^^!!

  • I<3 rent soooooooooo much

  • omg how did you manage to record this and not get beaten up by the ushers? lol

    I saw Rent June 2008 with my dad on Father's Day. He hadn't seen the movie b4 this and he understood everything that went on in the play (a lot of people I know said they didn't understand the play until they saw the movie). He LOVED it! And so did I. Tamyra was AMAZING that day. I'm glad I got to see the play b4 it closed.

    Jonathan Larson + Adelphi University's Theater Dept = 12-YEAR-LONG BRILLIANCE ON BROADWAY!!

  • She has a great voice but she is all over the place. The pianist was struggling to play along since her speed was off and random and had no rythym. She was also a little pitchy! Her tonal quality is gorgeous tho. Some more practice and she can be REALLY great. She really had NO buisness going against Kelly Clarkson though! No wonder she was booted before that!

  • I agree that her speed and rythm was off, but you gotta give her credit ;)

  • what?

    she was on time.

  • good one.  thanks for sharing!!

  • I'm stuck between Tamyra Gray and Saycon Sengbloh as the best Mimi.....aaah!! they're both absolutely amazing!

  • "Give in TO LOVE OR LIVE IN FEAR!!" Shit! Tamyra, you nailed that shit!! Definitely the best Mimi I've seen live.

  • why didn't you zoom?

  • That girl can sing! You go girl!

  • Now i need to watch rent!

    to see of course the love of my life....ANTHONY RAPP la vie boheme wouldn't be la avie boheme without him and i would die without him! he can take me out tonight we could spend a few seasons of love together...im a dork but im my dork!!!! weeeeee

  • i first learned about rent midseptember of this year.....Guess when it closed!????the 4TH OF SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!! how crappy is that i love this movie and i wish i could see it live but i guess i wont get to... rent should inspire everyone to live because there's NO DAY BUT TODAY!

  • I saw them the day RENT went off Broadway. They were just perfect in every aspect. Amazing.

  • <3 u adam!!

  • Her voice literally gives me chills.

  • agree

  • i judge an actor that plays mimi by how they sing mimi's first verse in this song, and tamyra sang it BEAUTIFULY! so did renee in the final show cast. im not a big fan of daphne's mimi, but she still is an amazing mimi!

  • My god she is amazing! One of the best Mimi's I have ever heard!

  • when i said the original i met the original cast who opened the show on broadway adam anthony daphen jesse wilson freda and idina they're they only original cast i know i didn't know there was another original cast sorry i've only know about rent since the movie came out they're they only originals cast i know sorry bout the confusion

  • how can u freakin enjoy the show when your busy recording it

  • My opinion: I think she's the best Mimi. I saw her live before I moved out of the country (I'm Chistery in Wicked overseas) and she ROCKED IT OUT!

  • ahhh. i would die if i got to see those guys live! it makes me so mad cause i was supposed to see tamyra gray last november but there was an understudy!!!:(

  • No one has permission to record the show. It is prohibited. That doesn't stop people from breaking the law.

  • no matter how many actors and actress that have playes these characters no one will be as good as the original cast thats why their called the original. theres something about the original cast that have capture the essence of rent maybe its cause they were the ones that started it all or cause of their great chymistry on stage or both but whatever it is their will be no one better than the original cast. after september 7th broadway will never be the same again. no day but today

  • Actually, the reason they're called "original" is because they were the first. Later casts actually have a HIGHER likelihood of playing the characters better because they've had a chance to see what does and doesn't work. For that matter, they didn't even have the cast they wanted, originally, as Jon wanted Karmine Alers to play Mimi, but she wasn't available, and they had to settle for Daphne. If you think no one could be better than the original cast... you're a moron.

  • jeez guys all the mimi's are good in their own way!

    why are we all arguing over this, we should just enjoy the show

    it ends on broadway today :[

    xxx

  • Wow - Tamyra is amazing! She doesn't have the over used raspy voice that is typical in this role. She has a REAL singer's voice and sounds INCREDIBLE!!!

  • but that typical mimi voice is what DEFINES mimi, in my opinion. she really doesn't have a voice for this character. her voice is good nonetheless.

  • i agree with you.

    she has a great voice but not for mimi.

  • i don't like Tamyra. there's something in her voice that just doesn't sound like she's...how do i put it....um...well she doesn't sound like she's soft and sweet enough. she's just like blurting it out.

  • Maybe, it's 'cause she's a grown woman and you're a 14 yr old kid!?

  • psh. that's not what i meant. listen to the original mimi and then listen to this person. notice how the voices are different! ...

  • there 2 diffrent fucking people, im not gonna sound like u and ur not gonna sound like me even if we both got picked to b maureen

  • no need to curse at me. it's just an opinion. sheesh. and it's mimi not maureen. psh.

  • it was an example, i picked maureen cuz shes my fav charater and not mimi cuz i suck wen i try do do her part, and that is not an opionion what u said it was a fact, and no there voices r not gonna sound exactly the same!

  • Personally, I like these two together. Tamyra has a pretty good voice, and she was a lot better than I expected she was going to be.

    I can't wait to see Adam and Anthony when they go on tour! June 16-21 is when they are close to where I live. It sucks they aren't coming to Canada, but they're coming to Seattle, so it's close enough for me. Only... 2 or 3 hours from me.

  • she's a great singer, but nobody will ever top rosario.

  • AGREED

    and other than rosario, tamyra is the only one who could play a good mimi.

  • ROSARIO???!!!

    You've obviously never seen any of the true talent that lies within RENT, Rosario is not the best at all infact she's on my list of worst mimis next to Michelle B, and the acting skills of Antonique Smith [Vocally amazing]

    Amazing Mimis would include

    Arianda Fernandez

    Karamine Alers

    Jaime Lee Kirchner

    Jennifer Talton

    THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON. You are obviously used to the MOVIE, me being a diehard RENTHEAD of the play, not the movie, would know this I guess.

  • whoa there.

  • arguing over youtube over something like this?

    intelligant man.

  • You can step off your soapbox now, lol. Rosario may have played Mimi in the movie but nonetheless she is still a Mimi and as someone who has also seen Rent live, several times to be exact,they could not have cast a better person for the movie as Mimi. I do however have to agree with you and say Antonique is amazing.

  • I really like Tamyra as MiMi I think she does the part really well. And she has the right voice for the part.

  • I am SO HAPPY that they adam and anthony are doing another tour next year......... and i am really hoping it comes to my town cause i never did get a chance to see adam or anthony. I just saw Heinz as roger and i was quite impressed with heinz voice even though it was bad at some parts but o well rent was still 100% amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And does anyone know what play will be taking rent's place when it closes?????????????????????

  • Im sorry but people need to get over themselves. first off thay can't really come out durring the afternoon performance because oh I dunno thay have another show that night and thay might gee I dunno wanna rest up or in Adam's case spend what little tiem he has with his family! GOD get the hell over yourselves and show some respect! You where angry? BOO FREAKING HOO Thay have lives ya know

  • I almost ran into a limo tho before the show.... dunno if it was there's but it turned and i wasnt paying attention and started to cross the street and almost ran into it... i was like o snap! haha maybe it was adam and anthony.... idk!

  • hahahaha ! i could see the headlines

    RENT star hits starstruck pedestrian

    xD

  • omg i went to go see it for my 16th b-day but that day NO ONE came out to sign stuff!! i was so angry! we sat around forever waiting!

  • Lol. Watch Tamara's upstage hand from 1:24 to 1:48 it looks like she dosen't know what to do with it and it just swings. lol.

  • i get to go see it at the nederlander again before it closes for good. it makes me happy!!!! :)

  • oh then im not seeing her lol

  • Tamyra is an amazing mimi. I saw this a few days before, I cried...at least three times. lol. I won the lottery that day and got to sit in the front row, omg. Amazingness!

  • if there is any show to see front row, its this and the lion king.

  • I don't know if I would want to sit in the front row of any show..

    Wouldnt it be hard to see?

    (I've obvously never sat in the front row to a Broadway show. lol.)

  • Hah that was the night I saw it! Oh man, Tamyra totally blew me away. As did Adam, of course. Third row on the right, baby! Woo.

  • omg omg omg omg omg i was there that day!!!!!!! omg i was so upset i met anthony but adam didnt come out to sign stuff :( oh well it was amazing! adam tamyra and anthony were fabulous!

  • ...

    It ends September 7.

  • It ended already!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * tears of sadness slowly roll down cheeks* Well at least we still have soundtracks and the movie to keep the memories of such a wonderful and inspirational Broadway Musical.

  • not quite yet, they extended it through september...

  • This is one of my favorite shows ever! (ive seen many!) I'm so sad that it ended!!

  • just saw rent may 31st. tamyra was awesome.

  • omg im seein rent on june 21st and im soooooo excited! im gona c her on broadway but not adam :[ but im still rele excited!

  • Renee Goldsberry will be taking over the role of mimi on june 16th.

  • I wish she went on the tour next year with Adam and Anthony.

  • I loved this play! I just say it yesterday, she was great, so was Angel! I'd love to see this again.

  • okay I love Adam and wif Tamyra Gray that is just so kOol, I actualy saw them on Braodway cuz my sista is absest wif it!

  • I usually like all of the OBC for musicals the best but Tamyra Gray is my favorite mimi i get rent on june 11th im so excited

  • I love Adam as Roger.

    Wow. Tamyra has a really strong and beautiful voice. She did really good in this song.

  • omg i wish i was there she SINGS BEATIFUL!U GO GURL LOL

  • she sounds awesome

  • Ahaha. Wow. This is the exact day I was there seeing RENT.

    Love it!

  • hmmm.

    if his acting is good enough..holy cow he'd be awesome i think.

  • Thanks for posting this!! Great to hear Tamyra sounding so wonderful... IMO she was far & away the best on AI & I was hoping for great things from her.

  • One must respect the Adam Pascal....

    but do you think that David Cook from AmIdol would make a surprisingly decent Roger?

  • he can sing but i just dont see him as roger in rent. he should just stick to making records. what about the guy who played max in Across The Universe? i think he could play roger! what do you think?
