  • It is a good performance though. I like it!

  • I like the play a lot. But I think think Rosario Dawson did a much better rendition of Out tonight. I realize hers is a polished version versus this one being live. But I think Rosario uses much better inflection in her voice.

  • Her singing isn't terrible but her dancing is really annoying.

  • @lisambofoh funny i think both are bad

  • I hate that outfit that Mimi is wearing

  • Yikes this has to be the Non-Equity tour. It is extremely painful listen to this girl sing. I'd be surprised to find out she made through her entire contract term yelling the way she does.

  • For me Renée Elise Goldsberry is the perfect Mimi - check it out!!

  • why do people keep saying her voice is good!? i know you people are gonna hate me but i really think she sounds drunk and she dances really...messily.

    she's flexible though, i'll give her that...

    go renee!!

  • That Roger is horrible over acting

  • i think renee is waaaaaay better...jaime can't sing as well as renee...not even close....

  • I say, would you like some tea and crumpets my dear? Tothaqueen.

  • best.mimi.ever.

    all her moves seem to flow so well, and her energy is perfection. her timing is wonderful and the facial expressions just add that extra "umph". looove her. wow. completely blown away.

  • Tamyra Gray sings it better in my opinion.

    

  • I'd kill for a figure like that...

  • I LOVE how much energy they have. Its amazing. :)

  • WOW was this broadway, tour...? she's incredible, she looked coked out this entire video, her sound is fantastic! her character in general was outstanding, i have never believed a Mimi more!!!!! BRAVO!!!!

  • is this for trade my links have expired

  • wow i thought renee was my favorite, this chick blew me away, she has that double whammy of amazing energy and a powerful voice, i love her "Ou-ooooot's"! lol

  • Oh, I like her and Renee le best.

  • I love the intensity and roughness of Jaime. It fits the character of an SM stripper on coke. Amirite? I love the movie version too! Don't get me wrong! But this is the edge that Mimi is meant to have.

  • waaaay too angry

  • She does the best AWOOOOOOOOOOs! SHES EPIC!!!!!!!!

  • DAAAMN. I've seen a LOT of out tonights and this is, I think, THE best. Laura Dias/Maya Days might give her a run for her money, but... damn. She's holding nothing back here, the vocals are insane and UNIQUE, and she's a sick dancer.

  • She's a very good Mimi in my eyes. She's raw and believable. She reminds me very much of Daphne!

  • @tmsawr especially the way her voice sometimes grinds like Daphne i like that! so cool! :D

  • Not bad, I think the choreography is a little too much, or she's over doing it.

  • she is by far my fave mimi. (:

  • Magnificent<3

  • I'm still not sure why Jaime is possibly my favorite Mimi, but she is. Yeah, her voice is flawed, but she's tiny (I always thought that was important, Mimi is a heroin addict...), she's raw, she's young and fun, and she KILLS it. She has insane energy. I always found her the most believable as a 19 year old junkie S&M dancer.

  • Okay, so much better.

  • Fantastic job!!

  • I'm not gonna say shes bad, but I don't like her choices. But I think she still isn't bad.

  • im sorry but im a sucker for Adam Pascal as my favorite Roger and Renee is probably my favorite Mimi (well Daphne too i love that rough edge in her voice) these two are good but yeah like i said i'm in love with Adam's voice and acting and Renee is like wow!! yeah thats it lol =D

  • Girl rox, boy sucks. easy as that.

    jamie was pretty damn good for this role, i love how free and flirty she is in this! good job

    as for the guy...bleh

  • Jaime is awesome!

    this is such a godsend for me, cuz my name is practically the same as her and I'm trying out for Rent in my town soon =D

  • my favorite mimi ever!

  • RENEE IS THE BEST!!!!

  • @TheTony2013Rocks I agree. Renee has amazing vocals.And I think shes the best dancer. But Jamie is a close second.

  • I think Renee is my favorite Mimi, and I love the way she did this song, but I also love the way Daphne does it. And the only other two I've seen is Jamie and Rosario, and they weren't bad either.

  • whoa. roger has a very exaggerated american accent

  • @TheOboist69 He's british so yeah.

  • Rosario's better.

    But this girl is better than Daphne.

  • @KaileaBee agreed. Rosario is much much better. She has more spunk

  • this bitch cant sing... i have a migraine...

  • You go, Jaime. You're amazing!

  • Way to ruin a good song.

  • wow. I don't necessarly love or hate Mimi's voice, but her acting is really good. Sometimes i felt there was a little too much gesticulating, but despite that I really liked her acting, but its the opposite for this Roger. I LOVE his voice, but he kind of scares me, and i just don't like his acting that much.

    i don't doubt that they're better live, pretty much everyone is, and you can't get the same effect from a vid, but since i'm basing an opinion on this vid, there it is lol.

  • As Mimis go, I think I like Jamie and Renee best -- they take Mimi to a bit of an 'unhinged' place, which is perfect for the character, in my opinion.

  • WHAT is with all the gesticulating? Seriously! It's like, the definition of overdone! SO embarassing...

    They're good to okay singers, but mediocre to shitty actors. And 'Roger's American accent is extremely forced...

  • She's a stripper, not the Madonna...

  • I think I'd rather watch the Madonna perform this. At least she wouldn't overact it...

  • I love Jamie! She's one of my favorites XD

  • good roger, dont know about the Mimi.... of all the set she had to play around she only used the scaffolding? sorry she wasnt creative enough.

  • @xXVanillaBlueXx ... uh, no, that's just the blocking of this song. The dancing she did on the bars is up to her, as long as she makes it to certain points on the scaffolding and eventually down the stairs by the end of the song.

  • @2344s Rosario needed auto-tune, and she never played Mimi on Broadway, so it's a bad comparison.

  • Her body is so sexy and her eyes and lips do something to me I'm hooked on mercy because of this chic....

  • I have to agree behind Daphne she is my favorite.

  • I saw him as roger!! he was soo cute! i dont know if i saw this mimi though

  • Jaime is my favorite Mimi (other than Daphne, got to love the original cast) but she seems a bit off in this video..not her best performance..oh well :)

  • I agree, they are no OBC or Movie cast, but I actually like them. Mimi can get a bit screamy, but you can't trust a recording. You never know how messed up the audio can be. Loved the dancing and it seems like this was a good production. I wanna see Angel!!! =D

  • not bad, but I like tamyra better.

  • ouch :-(

  • TRANSIS: please look up Renee Goldsberry so you can see how its done...this looks sloppy...Renne looks crisp and forcefull which is what Mimi is in this scene..she wants to go out!

  • This Mimi has the best dancing in all RENT history...

  • for me jaime and rosario are the best mimis

  • she is really good at dancing and i liked her part in another day she sounds really good there

  • umm ... she can't sing. She has good energy though. I prefer someone who portrays the character the best rather than sing the best - so I guess that's how the casting people felt.

  • wow, she basicly carried him through the whole thing. he is juss awful. Jamie has got to be one of the best Mimis. next to Renee and Daphne.

  • About the mic pack, look at it this way-there are very few places to actually hide it with that outfit.

  • She is really good. I like her energy, and her feistiness.

    but no one does it like daphne.

  • Jaime has prolly the best choreography that I've ever seen for Mimi. She really made it her own, and you could tell she was having lots of fun

  • i think her vocals were great and her dancing was WOW

  • Um...I like Tamyra a lot better vocally.

  • yeah, but Jaime is better at her choreography.

  • No she's not. She doesn't protray what and who Mimi's supposed to be in this part of the show well at all, she's aweful. and that guy? ugh.. worst roger ever.

  • Of course she has better dancing than Tamyra. And Rodger is not the best yes, but if the audience cheered for them at the end them of course they must have been good. So shut the hell up bitch.

  • No need to be so rude there child. My opinion is that they are both a horrible mimi and roger, I am allowed to have this opinion- it is my legal right to say whatever i feel. You having a different opinion then me does not give you the right to act like a ignorant child and post rude and unneeded comments like "shut the hell up bitch." Didn't your momma teach you better then that? Next time you reply to me I hope your vocabulary has greatly improved as well as your temperment. Blessed Be.

  • Well she is a good Mimi, and im not so sure about him as Rodger, but for sure she is a great Mimi.

    And I don't need to watch my language, and if you hadn't noticed half the people in the freaking world say comments like "shut the hell up bitch".

  • I didn't say watch your language, I said to improve your vocublary.. which I see you havn't. The only ones telling people to shut the hell up and calling people names and the ignorant and narrow minded, are you sure that's how you want to viewed? Just saying..

    Blessed Be.

  • @authorit09 You must be a real dumbass to think shes a bad Mimi. Each Actress brings something different when they portray this character. Sure her voice isn't as great as Tamyra or Renee but she is still in Rent.

  • They need to hide her mic pack for many reasons. It's very distracting and could get caugh on something.

    Her voice is okay, but her acting is better. Overall I give her a B.

  • i'm so sorry i ment to give ur comment a thumbs up but my babby couzo distracted me .sorry

  • I think the 'mic pack' is actually supposed to be the AZT timer

  • the microphones on the back of her outfit is annoying me! HAHA XD

    She in my 3 top mimis-there a tie

  • i agreeeeeee

    shes awesome

  • she is great. perfect for a part like that.

    hes good too but the role isnt for him. his voice is too classical and roger's voice in my opinion should be rougher/ edgy. not saying he is bad at all though hes a really good performer!!!

  • I LOVE JAIME EEK!

  • Can i ask a stupid and maybe very obvious question?

    Who's playing Roger?

  • tim hower.

  • omg around 3:45 when she kicks her leg and says goodnight she almost nailed him in the face with her foot! watch him move his head back real fast! haha so funny.

  • for everyone who says tim sucks, your wrong. ive seen him in rent live about 3 times..and hes amazing in every single one of them..and so is jamie. theyre both amazing performers. and for everyone that says they can do better..in out tonight..i would like to see you and your friends jump on top of bars..while singing that good and have the amount of energy jamie has throughout that song.

  • Hell yea!!!! What she says

  • was that to meee? hahahaha.

  • yessss!!!! Tell Them

  • hhahahha, im just getting sick of people saying that shes bad! they have no idea how hard it is to have that much energy throughout this whole thing.

  • I know, the ppl who think they or their ffriends could do a better job need to step up and stop running their mouth..

  • Well katiee I also love jamie, but I don't agree that we cannot criticize a performer. I cannot do what Jamie does but she is a performer, she has trained for years and I have not. So she and every actress in musical theatre should prove they fit wathever role they have (jamie does a great job, she's amazing).

  • @KatieeClementi yes, his voice is really for live... on a shitty recording it doesnt do it justice for the BOOM that it is! tim is my fav

  • i stopped believing that toward the end, but until then, it was great

  • w00t! best video i've seen since tamyra and adam. <33

  • best mimi ever.

  • I like the way she howls. She really howls...

  • i'm sorry but i could do better than her too..

    i'm so insecure about my voice.. but at least other people say i'm really good

    i can do better than her O.o

  • Ok i"ll give you the benefit of the doubt make a video of you doing exactly how Jaime does upload it on U-tube and will see..

  • haha hm well, i'm shy. i know it seems like i'm punking out cause i might suck but it's cause i'm insecure.. i'm shy. but c'mon.. i'm only 15 :p maybe one day i'll make a video of me singing and show you.

  • cool love to see it

  • Haha, okay. I wanna see it too! But seriously, *I* wanna hear you sing as rough and raw as Jaime can--and still come out with attitude, sass, and all-around awesome acting! I know you can probably sing Out Tonight. A lot of people can, lol. But Jaime has some serious talent. Remeber, she's acting and dancing at the same time. Her raw voice is sooo perfect for Mimi! She's great. Not only is she singing well with so much strength and voice, but she portrays Mimi in every way!

  • Ya i want to c also

    if ur as good as her tehn

    :D

  • Me? Hah, yeah right, I could never sing like Jaime. I can sing decently, but if I ever upload a pitiful video of myself singing Out Tonight, I'll let you know. xD

  • kk

    thnx

    :D

    hope ur good

  • so who will hear singing you when you're that shy??

  • What, lol? I don't understand your grammer. Sorry, your sentence doesn't make any sense.

  • er... how are a lot of people able to sing 'out tonight' again? it's a really hard musical song, not only because of the vocal skills it requires, but also energy, power, acting skills and personal response.

    i would rather say that hardly anyone can sing this song and do a decent job at it..

  • Whoa I haven't seen her before. She's awesome! How could you people say she's awful? Dude, I haven't even seen her before, but she's definitely one of the best Mimis (though, I really do like Renee Goldsbury. but she's the only one I've ever been able to go and see live, lol). She's awesome! Like a feistier, more energetic version of Daphne! I think she's great ;)

  • For everybody who thinks she's not good thats your perogative. I think she's the whole package

  • I love this girl, she reminds me of daphne. I love it when people portray mimi as fearless and raw, cause thats how I picture her.

  • I like jamie as mimi, lets not forget that mimi is a druggie, I believe it with jamies performance, shes raw

  • Are these professionals? On Broadway? Seriously?

    They're AWFUL! My friends and I are better than this!

  • I highly doubt your friends are better than jaime or tim. They are really amazing.

  • uh, you don't live where I live. I know some AMAZINGLY talented people. I'll post vidoes of them eventually and you'll see, man. You'll see.

    Don't you hear how pitchy her voice is? How off she is? maybe this was a bad day, but regardless: I've heard better from my friends. Who are aged 14-17. Ha ha ha.

  • seriously, I'm cringing a little.

  • well mimi is a stripper who takes drugs i don't think she's supposed to sound like Alicia keyes . sorry I think she's awesome even with the pitchy vocals she has heart and so does mimi

  • Seriously, emazinglyemi? lol, are you twelve? Haha, your comment is good for a luagh, though. Please. It's not easy to get cast as a lead on Broadway. She's OBVIOULSLY something, do you know how many people must have tried out? But honestly, I'd LOVE to see you try out for Mimi if they do a revival--sounds hilarious!

    Honestly, though, the fact that Jaime makes it look easy show's that she's awesome. She sounds so natural, and trust me, it isn't NEARLY as easy as she makes it look.

  • yeaahh!!! What u said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ugh. This girl is horrible.

  • she is wonderful live.

  • Her Mimi is so FIERCE. And I love Tim. He was the first Roger I saw on Broadway. He was awesomeee :D

  • nevermind i said that to soon thought is was someone else till he started to sing sry

  • Gosh, every single Mimi has like rock hard abs and 0 percent body fat! Makes all of us mortals feel sad :( jk. But seriously, Jaime rocks my fuzzy pink socks!

  • Tim is so amazing, you can't judge by the video. Tim's acting is probably the best out of any Roger. His singing too. I Love Adam and all but he just doesn't act it that great, but he is a wonderful singer. Jaime is wonderful too, her and Renee are the best :]

  • i like her version of mimi, but depise his portrayal of roger....its offensive

  • i agree with u about mim but i kinda repeat kinda like him as roger

  • haha. I couldn't agree more.

  • Tim does rock but he also scares the sh*% out if me!!!-Abusive!!!

  • Yeah me too....the way he portrays the character kind of makes you feel less sympathetic towards him and what HE'S going through, because he's so abusive towards Mimi.

  • I love her. & Tim actually rocks it out a little.

  • goodness she's so awesome. And Howar is actually okay in this song. finally.

  • omg!!!!!!!!prob my fave mimi

  • His 'Light My Candle' is way off. His 'Goodbye Love' is laughable. His 'I Should Tell You' is alright. But this? Finally! Something that makes me believe Tim as Roger. Say what you want; I love it. Especially his "Looking for romance?" Aha, too cute!

  • This is how Out Tonight should be done.

    Jaime is amazing, and definatly my favorite Mimi!

  • no will chase is amazing i saw him 3 times and thats tim.

  • she is a great mimi. definitely in my top five. and i happen to like how aggressive tim gets in AD, but that's just me :)

  • she's good, she does the role justice, but it seems like shes screaming alot, without meaning to....i still think loarnie velez and antonique smith are the best two, and of course daphne...but she does do the role justice

  • I love her bar dance, and most can agree it's one of the best. She has a lot a fire and brings out the drug addict in Mimi. Very fierce performance.

  • what day was this? this isn't the March 4 2007 performance is it?

  • no its not

  • ok im sorry but i cant stand her out tonight i think she was trying o be like daphne with some of the dance moves but i like it better when thy change it up and do something else im sorry.

  • that was great! who is playing roger?

  • will chase. sucks, right?

  • That's not Will Chase, that's Tim Howar. Will Chase is an amazing Roger and I am happy that he will be the last actor to play Roger on Broadway.

  • Holy shit, I'm dumb. Haha. Sorry, at first I thought this was from the DVD, in which Will Chase was Roger :)

  • Or, at least thats who's listed but actually I think it's Tim, so nevermind!

  • Her voice is amazing! She's not a bad Mimi. She does the role justice. But being the big RENThead that I am, nobody will ever compare to Daphne as Mimi. I saw RENT at the Nederlander in March of this year, and Tamyra Gray did an amazing job as Mimi!! The whole cast was great! I'm glad that the one time I got to see RENT, it was with this years cast! But like I said... Jamie did a good job as being Mimi from what I can tell.

  • Jaime is AMAZING!!! best mimi ever!

  • I never cared for her another day, but I consider anyone retarded if they can't see that she had one of the BEST out tonight'a ever!!!

  • Holy crap so good. I've heard basically every Mimi ever and she is clearly one of the best.

  • THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. no other mimi compares. i love her.
