Yep, that is so not Rosario. That woman sounds strained. I get, that there is a difference between doing it live an recording a soundtrack. Maybe Rosario wouldn't be able to do anything decent live but in that one song original Mimi sounds like she is pushing it.
The reason ppl cant tell the difference is because in the Broadway and Movie version Adam Pascal plays roger, So its the same male lead in both, and mimi in the original is played by Daphne Rubin-Vega and in the movie its Rosario Dawson, but there voices are very closely matched
@CreepersCreep I would though, that any true RENT fan would know the difference, as well as realize that all but two people in the movie were of the original RENT cast when it opened on Broadway in '96.
I love this song but the other Mimi does sound way better an dshe is a better dancer for sure! But this girl is good but noone could replace the real cast!!
RENT was always intended to be a theatre piece. It's just a shame that Jonathan Larson's life was so short lived. Thus he never live to see the show's success. He was an extremely talented songwriter and composer.
Oh my god how can anyone think this is the movie version. That clearly isnt Rosario Dawson!! And hell, roger even sings differently here than he does in the movie.
Since this mimi from the version sounds like she has the case of SWINE FLU. it doesnt sound good at all. Sounds like she's strainning. What her name ? -__-
Ah is this from the time when the guy who played Roger in the movie was part of the cast? that would explain while some people thought they were the same.
Actually, if you listen carefully it is "only us" not "only yes". Not only does "only us" make more sense, but hearing "only yes" can be because the "yuh" sound made by going "only us" makes it sounds like yes. I have a direct from broadway set of sheet music, and it says us.
"Forget regret, or Life is yours 2 miss, No other road, No other way, No day but 2day.." These are words 2 live by.. Well in my opinion..I'm not sure if you agree..
@ReddieForeverXOXOXO ha ha yeah, i figured that out after hearing rosario & renee's versions lol. for the longest time i always thought it was "us" because that's what it sounds like daphne's saying :P
broadway version is SOOOOO much better then the movie. the disk is a lot better too. it tells the story. the movie cuts out a lot of stuff and messes with the original songs. :) though i have nothing against it since it is needed if you dont want a three hour movie. you should go see the musical in person, and then you'll change your mind about the movie's version's of the songs.
Adam's voice is deeper and less harsh than the movie version. Mimi's voice is also more shaky here in the OBT, but both are very good. Both are talented singers and do a good job- I prefer the movie version because it sounds smoother. But that's what happens when you use programs to edit for a movie. ^^
clearly the broadway version
