  • I like idina's better. But Nicole did a great job

  • "MOO FOR YOUR LIVES!"

    "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO!"

  • Probably my favorite and most successful change to the I gotta, gotta's <3

  • ..and that's why i ADORE her!<3

  • She has incredible presence. She just captures your attention. Horrible styling though. She wasn't lying when she claimed she went to the Youth Performing Arts School and studied acting & musical theater in college.

  • @benjsinister

    i totally agree, vocally she's ridiculously talented

    but i dunno what NPH was thinking, some of the styling casting and choreography in this show is just god awful

  • I love Broadway Nicole and Opera Nicole, even Rock Nicole, but Bubblegum-Pop Nicole needs to go.

  • i'd love her if this were the first time i saw her. i just hated the Pussycat Dolls. I'd be into her if she did more stuff like Rent.

  • she is so under rated. this is what producers should publish from her, she's got REAL talent

  • someone can subtitle this?

  • damn. I didn't expect her to be as good as she was in this

  • Makes it her own. No match for Idina Menzel though....sorry

  • I knew she was talented but oh my, I was not expecting this.

    She's like, ho-ly crap.

  • nicole's friggin amazing :). WOAH.. directed by NPH. :) i love NPH and Nicole Scherzinger so so much!!!

  • Idina is more serious and shes more funny :)

  • Mr Cello man I want singing please!!!!!

  • People 100% do not give Nicole enough credit. She's freakin amazing.

  • shit...

    shes better at this than mainstream music.

  • Not a fan of the costume choice here. It doesn't fit Maureen.

  • did anyone else moo? :)

  • wow she surprised me!! she did really well in this part!!

  • what a range! haha! i thought that performance was ridiculously entertaining indeed! nice one nicole!

  • She should play jasmine in aladin for a musical. she would be a perfect fit! :D

  • Nicole, please take up acting!!!! Someone gets her into a movie please :)))

  • @TheLibra410 she is, in man in black III ;) can't wait

  • Nicole, from this point on I will never think of you as just a another pretty singer that can dance. Hahaha! Wow! What an amazing surprise! She seriously needs to do more musical theater, she is soo animated and brilliant!!!!!!

  • I didn't like her Take Me or Leave Me.. But this is the greatest Over the Moon performance I have ever seen live or on tape.

  • She is beyond captivating. One of the greatest triple-threats out there.

  • She would be great on SNL too. I could see her doing those Justin Timberlake-esque sketches, that would be hilarious to see.

  • @iamchakra Funny that you've mentioned that...I was planning on starting a petition to get her to host/act, and perform on 'SNL' because I don't believe that her team is proficient enough to make it happen.

  • @l0os3nup Really? You definitely should! You think like me! I would love to be on her team because whoever works for her now aren't doing enough she has too much talent for it to not be noticed. Getting her on SNL to host and perform would be a priority!

  • @iamchakra Hi! I started a twitition to get Nicole on 'SNL'!! I can't post the link up here, so go to google and type in "Nicole Scherzinger to host, and perform on 'SNL'" (if you have a twitter, of course). Thanks for your support!!

  • Her mom must be SO proud of her. She's a nice person, immensely talented, hard working and gorgeous too. Wow.

    If only more people knew how talented she really is and stop hating on her.

  • oemge im so inlove with her...she's really good with a lot of things...

  • Nicole performed Phantom of The Opera at the Royal Variety in London recently and it was PHENOMENAL, look it up :)

  • She is fucking amazing. This is the only time I've ever liked this song!

  • Why the hell is she doing pop music?? Her talent is being wasted on pop music :/ Please go to musical theatre full time nicole!

  • This is honestly my favourite performance of this song. It's so neat to see people do RENT a little differently, since people always just end up replicating the original.

  • Comment removed

  • How does she manage to sing like that in a corset?

  • @sockstealingnome I know, right? Crazy...I imagine that it really takes a toll on her breathing...which is why she deserves LOTS of credit for doing ALL of the lead vocals for the Pussycat Dolls, which 80% of the time, was done while wearing a corset!

  • hahahah! that is just... magic :)

  • I really like this..........

    It's funny!

    MOOOOOOOOOOO!

  • This woman can really sing! Wow!

  • lol i was their x) but i didnt like some stuff about this version

  • Nicole is sooooooo frickin talented!!! She has it all! I'm so happy that I get to work for such an amazing artist and person! xoxoxox

  • @JNoele26 lucky you! :) I haven't even had a chance to see her live yet :'( but am hoping she does come here for her Killer Love tour.

  • She's intoxicating to watch! like I LOVE this

  • I like how different this arrangement is. The rap part is EPIC

  • @musicsdrug where did you hear about Nicole being a straight A student? I've never heard of that. I only know that she was according to her past teachers very dedicated to musical theater. She was always the first one in and the last one out. She studied everything from jazz to classical singing and opera.

  • had no idea she actually had talent. wow. her voice is quite simply phenomenal

  • She is the queen of singing

  • She is amazingly talented. Of course, compared to a Broadway veteran like Idina who has played this role a hundred times, she would not be as good. She isn't from Broadway and this is her first time and they only prepared for a week. If anything, this proves how talented this woman is!

  • *Elsie position*

    "still thirsty?"

    *Goes to side*

    "Parched."

    *Elsie position*

    *squeezes* "Have some milk." *WINKS*

    Great! I wish she winked at me... haha.

    She got the package! Very talented...

    Anyway, the sucking action was really funny. She's the only one that did that, am i right?

    Anyway... I LIIIIIIIKE it!

  • "Mr. Cello man, I awoke singing, singing!" hahaha I love it. She is too cute.<3

    I love Idina as Maureen and I love Nicole as Maureen, simple as that. XD

  • I adore Idina but Over The Moon is my least favorite track of all. Nicole's version made me love it. :)

  • I love both nicole and idina's performance of this equally. I will not pit them against each other because their renditions are so unique I can appreciate them both without any contest. I will say that Nicole is a definate force to be reckoned with. Her gift goes way beyond talent.

  • Although I will forever be partial to Idina's version, I like how Nicole does it too. She isn't copying Idina at all which most Maureen's do.

    However, I really dislike the new costume, she looks like a robot which is the exact opposite of how a bohemian would dress. AND the lack of cowbell makes me very sad.

  • I prefer Idina. But she did really good though. :)

    I really don't like how she's dressed like a hooker though. Like....wat? :|

  • love Nicole Scherzinger.....she's such an under rated star and she's such a hard worker love her nd all that she do......don't mind the haterz there good for you lol. :)

  • @HapaKamoaGurl obsessed/ Wish she'd give up this pop idolitry and do great music/roles on Broadway. Hollywood is a fickle shallow bitch.

  • @emedia100 i agree with u..wish shed just give up on this pop mainstream thing..she can showcase her real talent by doing musicals and all...and it would really shut her haters up..

  • she is such a good maureen!!

  • I really hate this. She's not supposed to be reaking of sex appeal.

  • @Lostthefuckinggame That makes it great ^_^

  • BEST MAUREEN.

    Most entertaining! ^_^

  • She makes one sexy Maureen!!

  • wow shes way more talented than I though!

  • holy shit! this girl is talented!! she can act, dance, and freaking sing broadway, classical, rock, pop, and r&b. 

  • @ilikefriedchickenful her going to a performing arts high school and majoring in acting/musical theatre in university has paid off BIG time. She's amazing.

  • sucks

  • Aaaaa

  • I like nicole better as Maureen!

  • FUCK DID SHE KILL THIS! SHE IS LIKE PERFECT

  • COMPLETELY KILLED IT! I think Idina Menzel would be proud! If they ever bring RENT back to Broadway, it would be AMAZING to see her as Maureen (or even Mimi!)

  • Her comedy timing is exceptional.

    I love Idina, but Nicole absolutely nails this.

  • Considering that this was for Hollywood, she did it very well.

  • So she can sing.... NEVER KNEW!!! Nicole seriously needs to start showing her talent to the world!!!

  • SHE'S SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MOOO FOR YOUR LIVES!

  • Sounds like Whitney Houston.

  • I seemed to have gotten this song more when Idina Menzel did it, but Nicole Scherzinger has an amazing voice! Never knew.

  • She did a fantastic job, but I don't like the outfit. I was waiting for a wardrobe malfunction the entire time.

  • @SarahJacquelynne I think that's the point. Maureen (the character, not the actress playing her) is supposed to be sort of a mediocre performance artist--that's part of the reason why she's losing her space. She doesn't have the best taste and it's supposed to be a bit sloppy.

    That, and audiences like boobs.

  • no props or projections! pretty cool.

  • I am pleasantly surprised :D

  • I have to admit I was surprised by Nichole's performance, she is pretty good. And funny too. :-)

  • She is amazing! Unlike, Vanessa.

  • why couldn't she be mimi?

  • @thisismyusername011 Rather her then Vanessa Hudgens.

  • woah...

    shes one of the best Maureen's!!! her outfit and her style... :D

    why cant she be this awesome in her music??? i dont like her music, but this has made me like her.

  • Lovee HER!!!

  • I love herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  • i definitely miss the cowbell. but she didn't do a bad job.

  • Wow, watching this after seeing Vanessa Hudgens's Mimi... Vanessa's performance is NOTHING compared to this!!! <3 Nicole!

  • Im idinas BIGGGEST fan.. shes been my role model for YEAAAARS.... but nicole did this justice ... shes very talented... Vanessa hudgens.. ya not so much

  • @miavlogs OMG riiiiight??? When I saw she was taking this on, I was like biiiiatch please, but then I was like ohhhhhhhhh guuuurl! Totally screaming at the screen, this was amazing!!!!! I had no idea how talented and hilarious she is!!!!! WOW!

  • omg, amazing.

  • Actually pretty great and funny!

  • I think she does a great job, but this Maureen doesn't show the passion for the cause behind the performance like Idina's and Eden's. Nicole needs more anger.

  • @Coruscantslave In my eyes, the whole hollywood bowl production of Rent is a mistake. Too many things changed, most of the time resulting in poorer "results".

  • @BlazedHearts I mean there were good things. Tracie and Nicole were amazing, and there were heaps of other great things.

    But the cons outweigh the pros for me.

  • omg she did an amazing job!

  • OMG shes great :)

  • Fantabulous!!!

    Laughed my socks off!!!

  • 2:05 OMG I love this, lmao XD

  • Menzel did a better job on 'take me or leave me', but Nicol's performance of 'jump over the moon' is far the best I've seen. It's comic, sureal and she rocks it like a powerhouse. Not a Pussiecat Dolls fan, so was wickedly suprised by this interpretation.

  • OKay she did an awesome job as Maureen!

  • her costume looks like something katy perry would wear...

  • I never understood this part. like what was the story about can someone explain?lol

  • To me, personally, I don't like it. It's not as good as the original version.... It's okayish :/

  • She totally kills this. In a very, very good way. Ohmuhgod. 

  • that was great

    

  • not a big fan of the costume. but shes obviously very talented and very animated and i like that.

  • She does a great job acting and singing, but I don't think her costume was appropriate for her character or for a show that took place in the 1990's. Also, what happened to the "bi dee bop" after "Go back to China?" And I don't mean to sound like a prude but the sexual inneundo was WAY over the top.

  • that was AMAZING. i like her so much more now!

  • This version needs more cowbell

  • amaaaazzzzing!!! she's so hilarious!

  • This chick is AWESOME.

  • I thought this was funny enough with idina, but nicole makes it hilarious!!!! She's a great Maureen!

  • shows how talented some of our current pop stars are. shame she never shows this in her usual music though.. love her as Maureen!

  • My favorite Maureen after Idina's

  • can someone tell me what this is about???ive seen the movie and i still dnt get it

  • @wateverziam k so this is maureens protest. she was was basically expressing her feelings about benny creating her home and the lot in which is occupied by mark and such in a cyberland (a photo studio or something). a little bull dog (Benny) who gets with the cat (the rich bitch i forgtet her name) and traded in his roots.

  • Freaking brilliant :)

  • WTF is she wearing? It makes Maureen seem waaaaaay sluttier than she really is. Too bad too, cuz her vocals were great. (:

  • that was awesome!!!

  • I got a fever and the only prescription is. More cowbell!

  • am i only one LOVING those arm warmers????

  • I like her, but she is way too slutty to be maureen and I want to know where the damn cow bell is

  • @bluebirde67 maureen is supposed to be slutty lol. that's the whole reason why her and joanne start fighting.

  • @selphiexfairy Yes Maureen is slutty, how ever it looks likes she trying to be like Mimi. Maureen was slutty in a more of a hipster/gypsy type of way whilst Mimi was Slutty in a burlesque way. It seems here that Nicole is trying to channel Mimi rather than Maureen.

  • @domellcun You have to keep in mind she was probably dressed like that by the costume department :o

  • @domellcun I agree, she seems more like a Mimi than a Maureen. Idina's Maureen acted slutty but she didn't dress slutty. In addition to the costume being slutty, it wasn't appropriate for a show that took place in the 1990's. No one would be caught dead wearing that in the 90's unless they were going to a retro 80's party. The 1980's, much like today's era, was all about glamour and excess, while the 1990's saw a complete backlash from the 80's and was all about minimalizism

  • im sorry, i hate to say this but she plays it way too slutty to be maureen, yes she cheats on joanne but the Maureen that Larson imagined was an activist first before anything else

  • !!!!!!!!!!! the wink totally makes this entire video 4:03

  • Comment removed

  • Nicole is good... not Idina, but no one is like her :) And Vanessa Hudgens?? She killed Mimi....

  • It's very different but it's good. Nicole is a good actress. I just have a problem with the costume and the cowbell was missing. :/

  • I remember her from Pop Stars. She has a great voice. PCD is a waste of her talent.

  • I think this really works because she's got so much experience in performing in arena's etc. that she just sort of plays up to the audience like Maureen would.

  • NIcole held her own... but wasn't natural in her acting. Vanessa better in acting but weaker in singing!

  • @jazzy6788 vanessa is terrible at everything

  • Amazing :) Not as good as Idina, but who is? She surprised me.

    I have to say otherwise about her costume, though...

  • I loved how she changed it up a bit by whispering 'got to' :') She's great.

  • i didnt expect her to be good but she is actually very talented

  • She's the best Maureen ever! Love her version of Over the Moon! Go Hawaiian!

  • hahahahahahaha she is only the best

  • God she needs to go on broadway and just leave the Pussycat Dolls. So much talent!!! I am glad I stumbled upon these videos. She really is something else haha!

  • which girl was maureen in the real movie??

  • @firefliesRULE The real Maureen, the original on Broadway and on film was the amazing Idina Menzel :)

  • @firefliesRULE Idina Menzel. She was also Maureen in the Original 1996 Broadway cast- she created the part.

  • lol i laugh and laugh and laugh until my fuckin ass fell off the ground because the fuckin chair broke! demmit.

  • I like her outfit. It gives me a new impression on Maureen. And yeah she deserves this role 1:34, just crazy!

  • she looks like a doll...not maureen like but great besides that!

  • Walls ain't so bad.

    HAY!!!!!

    LOL

  • That's not a very Maureen like costume...

    This is my only complaint, and it has nothing to do with Nicole who is very good indeed.

  • She is completely fantastic, much better than I was expecting. But, what's with her outfit?

    She's a little more tarted up than other versions, it's a bit jarring when everyone else is just wearing random 90s fashion.

  • That was....amazing.

  • Sometimes when she jumps around like a spaz(in a good way), it reminds me of something Galinda would do from Wicked, during Popular. Like 2:08-2:15.

    She was SO good!

  • This...was actually quite fantastic!

  • @JingerSK My only complaint? MORE COWBELL.

  • @GlenRotterdam But..."Over the Moon" is supposed to be weird. 

  • I LOVE HER AS MAUREEN!!!!!!

  • I love the Jackson reference! funny!!:) She is really talented

  • This is the best and most original version of "Over the Moon" I have ever seen. Its very different, not copied, yet still retains Mareen's unusual performance style. Its also the funniest version I've seen....thought I was going to fall over from laughing when she started rapping the part about Benny!

  • shes the best ive ever seen do this

  • Wow. She did an AMAZING job with this. I'm a huge RENThead, but Over The Moon is probably my least favorite part of the show, and usually I can only stomach Idina Menzel's version. But, Nicole just knocked it out of the park and added her own touch to it and did a great job, I actually really enjoy this version!
