Take me or leave me from RENT

[KurtEHummel]

A control freak.

A snob yet over attentive.

A lovable droll geek.

And anal retentive!

[Th3Smil3ylol]

Lml. The mom sed "maybe you 2 can get back together..." lol

[Kyriina]

@lamegosRock123 Nobody cares where the music's coming from because honestly if i had a soundtrack that automatically started playing for me in dramatic moments i'd be psyched and just not question it so it didn't go away

[BrittanaFaberryLove]

so cool.<3

[MissAMSousa]

I just love this film and this song! :D It's amazing for how long I've known this, and I'm still finding new things. For example, when Maureen goes "women, what is it about them...", I usually focused on her, but today, I noticied how Johanne agrees with her and nods along! cute :D

[MissSamiexx]

marks face 0:52

[Misery2013]

I love this song! Jus watched rent ♥ 2012 and Rent is still my fav musical!

[capitanzach]

Now this just makes me want to be a lesbian.

[TheCheeselover3000]

"there will always be women in rubber flirting with me!"

[BeautifullyTragicxx]

I get to do this with my friend in theater class!

[DesireForDramione]

who knew that her DAUGHTER would one day cover this song together with Mercedes!! =D

[HorseyBabe12]

I'm almost ashamed to say that Glee brought me here... Idina ♥

[IWillBeHers]

I kind of like the Original Broadway Cast version better. I mean, Idina sounds great in both cases, and I do like Tracie Thoms in this (she later went on to be Joanne in the final cast on Broadway), but I kind of like her with Freddi Walker better. Don't shoot me, please!

[Sakina1222]

Never gets old <3

[Ebathora]

lawl...maybe now you two can get back together ^^

[Mermez3000]

Best. Break-up. Ever.

[rachbat3231]

@SuperMHlover I'm completely aware of who she is...but 2 things, 1) its the first time that I've made the connection and 2) I don't think I've ever had 4 likes :D

[SuperMHlover]

@rachbat3231 haha! Yeah I didnt know if you knew who she was thats all. :)

[babycakeslovesya]

:O its Rachels Mum !!!!!!!!

[sacar96]

I love Mimi's facial expressions in this song!

[KurtEHummel]

@sacar96 It was a classic expression. I love Mimi :D

[4everlaos]

how ironic is it that idina is now on glee.. & glee covered this song.

[KurtEHummel]

@4everlaos They also covered a lot of other songs. Such as Defying Gravity and For Good.

[rachbat3231]

It's Rachel's Mum!!!! :O

[SuperMHlover]

@rachbat3231 Idina Menzel is a broadway star!

[jessmb492]

At the end they're all like :o

[gleekness2419]

i luv this song such a funni story!!!!!!

[Amandathroop]

ackward



[SwishSwosh13]

IDINA, why cant you be my mom?????

[beatyjess101]

i luv this song

[phayjayjay]

Me and my BFF are singing this for a talent show!

[hitesmites]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the tango Maureen! HOT HOT HOT

[DadsLilAngel203]

GOD I WISH I HAD HER VOICE I LOVE IDINA'S VOICE!!!!!!!

[Lamg97xD]

Like, if you´re watching this because of Glee!! :)

[MyGIRL5]

@Lamg97xD Glee DESTROYED this song. This is one of the few songs that I thought Glee did badly. Like if you agree

[lipglosslover21198]

@MyGIRL5 Yes they messed up so badly! This is the only version I like of this song

[carna110]

@MyGIRL5 speaking of glee, is that shelby corpran at 0:35

[MyGIRL5]

@carna110 Shelby Corcoran is in the whole thing, she's Maureen!

[dancer4life1327]

@carna110 She's Idina Menzel!!! She plays Maureen! she's not just at 0:35!! she's in the whole song!

[carna110]

@dancer4life1327 I realise that, i just said that time because it is a zoomed in shot of her.

[Vicky5621]

The pool table scene...just.. gets me everytime. I hate to sound cliche or shallow, but wow. Hot!

[ngdj999]

pookie

[Novbaby33]

OMG I'm obsessed with this song! lOVE IT!

[zupaman1411]

Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LamegosRock123]

I love how in musicals no ones gives two fucks about where the musics coming from.

[KurtEHummel]

@LamegosRock123 That's the whole point...

[tzukishiro]

You can hate glee's version, but have in mind that Idina is on glee as well, and she loves it as much as she loves Lea :)

[ginnyluna182]

I luv how its just total awkwardness between Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson the whole time, any1 else notice it

[jonathenHultman]

where is the love button?

[kalinwang1]

classic Idina

[gamerkween]

I will always love when they move out to the stairs and Collins is just like, "OOOOOOOOH Y'ALL THIS GON' BE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD­!!!!"

[yazmene]

Maybe now you two can get back together.

[MomoTheStrange]

HEY, I have an idea, let's NOT insult the Glee version - Lea and Amber put a lot of hard work into it, just like Idina and Tracie did. I LOVE the Glee version. It's extraordinary, and in my opinion, one of the best they've done.

[firepenguin101]

The Glee version wasted this song on a pointless plotline. Should have saved it for something much more epic - namely, a Blaine/Kurt fight. It would have been epic.

[tzukishiro]

@firepenguin101 U don't like it, go and write your own script

[oliviaisrandom326]

I just live this song!!

[patrickbnme4ever]

Breakups would be a lot more enjoyable if I could sing them out

[Layal615]

Elphie now that your a lesbien I've decided to make you my new project.

[KurtEHummel]

@Layal615 Bisexual, actually.

[anniem31997]

how can 222 people not like this... i love this cuz its so diva sass off. hahaha they are hilarious i hate at the where the mom is like maybe you guys can get back together... -___-

[crippee97]

how can you not like this!!

[TigsAndKizzii]

damn, Maureen IS one lucky baby!

[baytard22]

mimi reaction to the woman flirting with me in rubber part xD

[UnamedVolgs]

You see, if religious people keep fighting we won't have these awesome songs!

[multicoloredpen1997]

This is seriously like the best song ever... :)

[sophisticatedsoph1]

whats glee? lol

[tzukishiro]

@sophisticatedsoph1 A great show where Idina itself appears in a like 10 episodes

[ffvskh]

i wish there were women in rubber flirting with me all the time :( fml

[uncoloredrainbows1]

I'm in your bed.

[GleeGleek414]

BEST SONG FROM RENT <3

[KurtEHummel]

Kiss, Pookie? :3

[tehsupervampy]

@KurtEHummel It won't work!

[KurtEHummel]

@tehsupervampy I look before I leap!

[KPTheOriginal21]

The epitome of fighting with women haha. I must say.... Maureen reminds me so much of myself ^^

[JeiMii2910]

Totally love thisss!!!!

[gtbaddestbitch]

OMG that is the greatest argument ever. Ive never watched rent but darn it Idina just gave me a reason to, thank you glee for introducing me to this masterpiece

[SeaGreenCP]

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE WOMEN IN RUBBER FLIRTING WITH ME.

[wallflower2268]

this part in the movie was hilarious ;)

[dancegirl104]

It started to suck after 4:30

[brettnayy]

holy shit, i think thats akilitus xD

[anthony25601]

[kotah1524]

Idinas face on the stair kiss Poole pricless

[rockanrrollradio]

Take me for what I am (a control freak) lol, love u Idina ♥

[conorquinn190]

Solving problems with a public sing-off, Idina.. I love you style.

[bieberboy316]

idina menzel....i absolutly love you.

[oxoxkatiebugxoxo]

i love Mimi's simple "wow." so funny.

[Yoshomika]

"There will always be women in rubber flirting with me!"

[Jennybongards]

Like if your watching this 2012 ;)

[RoseTintedNerd]

I love Idina's voice, I am soooo jealous

[kittycat13458]

neil and david :) <3333

[shiiloveu]

IE 4:17 Wow you would really ask that!

[Weasleylover19]

Favorite part 00:49 mimi's face!!! 

[E1e4n0rS]

I want my girl hot!! I do! I do! I do!!

[rockanrrollradio]

SO FUCKIN AWESOME! ♥

[Shannonbaby9413]

Every time I watch this, I laugh so hard at Mimi's face 0:49

[potterandbwayrules]

This was before glee totally BUTCHERED this awesome song!

[hunny118]

I love this song so much! I love Idina Menzels voice it's just so unique and powerful and Awsum!

[BatiiGiirl]

idina.. i fucking love you

[ChedderCheeseLover21]

I watched this movie at least twice a week for two months

[ClareLouise1Dx]

A diva off if i've ever seen one! i want to be Idina Menzel!

[beebeautiful101]

omg is that really Idina Menzel? wow lol i didnt know she was in RENT

[Skidbladniir]

@beebeautiful101 Yep, in the original Broadway cast and in the movie. Everyone in the movie (except for Mimi) was in the Broadway version, I believe.

[TheKgirl95]

@Skidbladniir The girl who played Joanne wasn't on the Broadway RENT either.

[mswixx12]

@TheKgirl95 Traci Thoms has played Joanne on stage but she wasn't in the original cast

[mitsuchan325]

"Maybe now you two can get back together."

Worst possible thing to say in that situation...

[Starclover1]

so everyone breaks up in songs now a days

[Skidbladniir]

0:48... Mimi's face... Haha

[KathrynLouise44]

replay replay replay

[Bethieboo12101]

Good thing this song is on my ipod!

[GoldStars31]

I liked the glee version of this, but I absolutly love this so much more. Love Idina. When I saw her on glee I had my friend come over to confirm if it was her or if I was going insane. Lol.

[lucy8470]

oh come on Glee version is good too

[KelSIZooo]

I wish fights in MY relationship were sung and choreographed -_-

[ginnyluna182]

well the enagement party was a huge waste of time; well not entirely cing as its a good stage; i thnk mimi had a kick out of this

[ginnyluna182]

to everybody: instead of referring to her as maureen, elphaba, or rachel's mom, mayb we should call her Idina seeing as that's her name

[Unicornprinsess]

It's funny how some people think of Idina as "Rachels mom". When I first saw Glee my thought when I saw Lea was "OMG, she looks alot like that woman who played Maureen in Rent. I seriously think that they look like they could be related. xD

[haleybailey19]

wait are they lesbians?

[FrancoBG]

@haleybailey19 captain obvious strikes again

[makkywiii]

@haleybailey19 jajajajajaaj yeah :)

[bakermegan1992]

@haleybailey19

Lol. Yeah. What was your first clue?

[haleybailey19]

@bakermegan1992 @makkywiii @FrancoBG i catch on quick guys :)

[purplepigstudios]

I love it how Mimi thinks thi entire thing is just amazingly hilarious

[tehsupervampy]

The Glee version has NOTHING on this... at all.

[Nani101]

@tehsupervampy Glee did a version?

Eh ... could never compare.

[GokuTheMonkey]

@tehsupervampy

I love Glee and I agree completely



[tehsupervampy]

@GokuTheMonkey And Glee misses out on my favourite parts... You know... before, and Joanne's solo.

I still like Glee, but that episode sort of is my least favourite...

[goingGAGA1]

@tehsupervampy glee is my favorite show in the whole world but i agree 100%

[tzukishiro]

@tehsupervampy Obviously it's like apples and pears, one is a relationship fight and the other a diva-off, every performance has contexts, different contexts cant be compared

[SHELLY2SEXY2007]

Looooooove this

[CaptainObviousLE]

Idina has such a high voice in RENT, but in gLee she has a much more deeper voice. Awkward.

[missmaddie90]

Is that the staircase from Legally Blond?

[holl2712]

I love idina she is my role model she has such an icrediable vpice and the people that just slag her off are jsut jealous of her talent and how much of an amazing person she is i would love to meet her one day she is awesome!!!! Xx -3

[singislove12]

218 people gave a damn 

[ACABERCROMBIE92]

Idina reminds me of Idina

[MsCamiJane]

Idina reminds me of Lea Michele and Lindsay Pearce at the same time

[MiniNymph]

"There will always be women in rubber flirting with me"

Best line EVER!

[ItsTheDairyQueen]

@MiniNymph "...boys, girls, i can't help it baby"

[MiniNymph]

@ItsTheDairyQueen ???

[tokyolove15]

218 people got left by their boyfriend/girlfriend

[ADragonAmongRoses]

0:45-0:50 best moment ever xDD i just love Mimi's reaction to it, that line is so f*cking brilliant! xD

[mrmannat]

oh god i love this!



[AriLuv101]

I love Glee and all...but it annoys me when people only know Idina from Glee and comment on how much they love her. HELLO?? You can't love someone cause you saw them sing a song or two. No no. Then I turn them to Rent, Chess, Wicked... and they joint he REAL Idina fan club.

[Whatdidyoudotome]

@AriLuv101

What if you love Glee, Rent, West Side Story, and Wicked??

[AriLuv101]

@Whatdidyoudotome

Then I guess you'd be a true Idina fan.

[TwistedChick051789]

Me and my best friend sing this at kareoke...they love it

[lisccanne]

I get it why Taye fell in love with her, working on this movie

[urprobablyright]

heh it's too bad she hasn't excatly got the kind of body that boys and girls would stare at. At least, not according to contemporary ideals of sex appeal - her breasts are sooo not watermelons. And her curves are sooooooo not hourglass.

[jonasbrothersmate12]

*group gasp*

[lisccanne]

omg, just saw the whole movie cried my eyes out.:'( This is awsome,:)

[jaydonwalelover2]

[Disneythievesrock]

No matter what time I come to this video, "There will always be women in rubber flirting with me." remains a top comment. Why? It's epic.

[TheNik124]

[qpwoeiruty5481]

I just love singing this song.

[thejaswong]

AHH, Idina Menzel! I love "a snob, yet over-attentive" that just sounds cool. Hahah.

[raydoodoo92]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brigLeek]

I love the end! Marc was so cute!

[HermioneCullen1]

This makes me almost wish Idina didn't do Glee. I've loved her since before Glee, and now I can't picture her taking on any other roles like this, post Glee-mom

[ginnyluna182]

@HermioneCullen1 hermione cullen huh? so a harry potter & twilight fan, cool!

[DragonLcver]

I would say this is how all cat fights should be, but only Idina and Tracie could make it that epic. Especially Idina. Where's a Cheno when you need one?

[Boot433]

I LOVE RENT!

[272727sa]

REALLY!!! 217 dislikes! I have to ASS-ume, HOMOPHOBES!!! GROW UP!

[swaggaright69]

Lol. 'She's only singing I'm just going to walk awa....OH SHIT SHE JUST JUMPED UP ON A TABLE. SHIT JUST GOT REAL!'

[toretsblaby]

I love this SOOOONG

[marshtart01]

I absolutely must see this movie or whatever Rent is or some Rent production thingy before I die.

[yoobinshine]

Pure awesomeness

[SouthPacific005]

I fucking love Idina.

[biggistvanessafan]

really love this song!

[defygravity141]

oh its just maureen wanting attention and singing again...

...holy shit maureen is on the table...she means it this time!

[LiveLoveDream1997]

Rent is my all time favorite musical!!!!! Im a total rent head(:

[dEzZyDoOdLe]

I know ..... but glee isn't even real music

[ltplauren4138]

OMG! AMAZING! Me and my friend/ex girlfriend(we're both chicks)are gonna sing this together for solo and ensamble competition this year if our chorus teacher allows it.

[Javjean]

@ltplauren4138

That's awesome, but beware the romantic powers of Rent. Beware!

[Javjean]

Yes I'm leavin', I'm gone.

[9claudiajenssen]

I am obsessed with Idina's voice! Amazing!

[dakenundrick96]

i aint gay or anything but this song rocks 2 lesbians arguing
