Rent - Seasons of Love - Children in Need - 16/11/07

[theguythatsings]

I think the main problem is they're all too beautiful to play underground artists with AIDS/HIV+, as nice as the sound they make is...

[merykey]

Is it just me or the British rent version is... calmer and more proper, somehow? I was expecting a BOOM! ... and there was nothing... :(

[IllusoryLY]

adorable! 

[HappyWeirdo3]

woah...

our westend cast has no energy...

:(

[JaimiMarieLovesMusic]

Hold on, isn't the red-headed one in the red dress one of the original Sugababes?!

[onlyhuman3]

'in inches' had to show the blonde getting heated up at the thought

[xoxcheekyxox]

its called costumes..

[bebekid11]

This is supposed to be a performance for CHILDREN IN NEED, so they all where there most expensive outfits............. REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[sophijean100]

@bebekid11 umm, i think they're costumes. from the show. rent. which they were performing.....

[naru894]

well... its not that bad, the first part was good, but the harmonies in the second part were not quite right,,.... the sound sounded, disperse, and it seemd off tune

[MyLoveIsPotter]

Siobhan Donaghy is babe though so they are excused

[antoinefuckyou]

I'm so glad this stopped at 1:14, utter turd compared to the original cast and even a number of amateur productions I've seen!

[gracesbracesarefit]

why are they all dressed like in abercrombie and fitch. THATS EXPENSIVE. they are meant to be broke. STUPID. bring back adam pascal. TOO ENGLISH. and im english so i can say that

[MrCheesecake2000]

they've made it really english, dont like it at all

[Peeny1046]

D:

Nooooooooooo. Whut is Denise van Outen doing there??

[DistantCousin]

@Peeny1046 Erm she was the big starring name in Rent Remixed.

[iailwsd]

Hey, that's really Siobhan Donaghy, that "Lady in Red"!

She's beautiful!

[acegamer94]

this is crap.

[iloveabba100]

[MsGaga2002]

[ash43ver]

eque musequ ewenquena mossheloff

[popstar1j]

ew what happend to the old cast....they were better!

[DistantCousin]

@popstar1j Cast's change - it's called theatre.

[pilchard96]

i swear there is a note missing from the long "loooooooove" i think its a Bb in the T/B part...

[musicalityxoxo]

they all look like preppy kids, not people who struggle to live in the worst places of new york O.o

[birdbrainz76]

i love the fact that they sound great..... but why the hell do you upload a incomplete clip??

[wahinesurfergirl]

@birdbrainz76 I second that! XD It's like, what happened to the rest of the clip?

[dancndogg]

Denise Van Outen in the leather MMMMMMMMMM shame the whole songs not on tho

[mikeldudeoh]

WTF is this?



[AppointedFate]

What is this? Who are these people? I can't even tell who's who.

I am ashamed. I wish they'd bring Rent to the West End, but not like this.

[mjhartlebury]

I can't belive how many time I've heard this song done by different people. I only saw rent for the first last friday and I love it :)

[nancythebeast]

who are these people? fuck ?

[MaggieSings320]

what is with the leather unitard?

[Jerseygirl8999]

who the heck are these people?!?! This is not the cast of RENT

[iKissYourSoul]

Wha? D: Not real cast?

[SweeneyTodd1992]

i still like the american cast

[14cartwright]

its not the whole song?!?!?

[guyinterrupted]

LOVE Siobhan Donaghy...

[charlottekane123]

this remixed version makes me ashamed to be british

[veronica896]

Broadways version is better

[lexiesheckler]

i don't mind that their british or whatever, they don't sound like they are suppeosed to.

[CSHxTempo]

guys, stop hating on stuff like this. just a song, although opinions are completely valid, discretion should be exercised please.

[deanp2001]

Excuse me im from scotland and thts racist

[lemon454677]

@deanp2001 why is it racist?

[Geordieryder]

Then stop the shows of Billy Elliot its set in my home town, while were at it you should not show Mary Poppins, Phantom (Paris), Oliver, My Fair Lady because they are not set in America. Come on Musicals are to be enjoyed worldwide so ease off plus your last Broadway/current Billy Elliot tour left so much to be desired, for one it was just poor

[musicalmad1996]

ino but they remixed rent and made it all different i uderstand were your coming from its just he original is sooo much better

[Geordieryder]

I agree with you there the original cast will always be the best.

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

i love that cast they are awesome and they're not exactly going to start dancing round the stage cause it's not that kind of song. and there is nothing wrong with the english accent if u say twenty it doesn't sound right

[tmalek91]

this is the british cast.... thats why their annunciation sounds funny.

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

wats wrong with the accents? wats ur accent?

[JustWillow8]

ooohhhh, this is RENT Remixed. that's why it sounds all weird.

there are some serious enunciation issues here that bothered me. it should be "twenty'' not "twenny".

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

then don't watch it if u don't like it. if they say twenty it sounds weird! wats ur accent?

[JustWillow8]

Canadian, but i don't have a stereotypical accent. i sound like Americans.

Have you not heard the real Seasons of Love in teh real production of RENT? cause they say twenty, not twenny. RENT Remixed is a cheap rip off that ran for something like three months before it was taken down.

[byron84]

you could measure it in any way, minus the impossibly disgusting british accents; not just bad, actually offensive to the ear

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

it's a song don't take it so serious! and the british accent is awesome! wats ur accent?

[confusedlunatic]

is that a sugababe?

[wales93now]

siobhan donaghy

[imacoolkidrawr]

it's good , but it doesn't have any energy,it looks like they are like dead,

[S3Rg101313]

Alright so obviously dese are not da real cast of rent maybe idk another version. . . .

[HelloFatJoe]

is this really the cast? :S

[amarant4]

Hate It, Not Enough OOOMPH!

[OliviaLaw94]

Why is Francesca Jackson from I'd do anything playing Joanne? I always thought that Joanne was black?

[mrmsram]

It just seemed so boring and lacking energy. Everyone there was looking like a movie star. This defeated the total purpose of Rent.

[BonanzaObsessor]

All the girls here look like Barbie Dolls! Totally defeats the purpose of RENT.

[AdrianMichelleHudgen]

I cannot, for the life of me, see any of those women playing the Spanish orgiinated Mimi.

[openanotherdoor]

Uhm...

The movie cast sounded so much better...

Even when they were live.

[ienjoybooks]

A huge reason they don't sound that great is because they are from the West End's production of RENT not Broadway's.

[thinkso2985]

lacs so much energy

[masterj21allday]

i agree. this is not good.

[kaymlev10]

The original cast is so much better

[guitarcutie2000]

if you compare this to the american idol one i just heard this is fantastic

[justanote7]

@kaymlev10 Why can't you and the 29 people who 'liked your comment just appreciate what THIS group is doing? Why does negativity always reign supreme?

The whole 1:14 was very enjoyable, I thought!

[kaymlev10]

@justanote7 I'm just stating my opinion there is no reason to get pissy so if you don't like what I write then don't read it.

[justanote7]

@kaymlev10 Dang, if I don't read it, how do I know who to get "pissy" at?? LOL

[vaugustine714]

this video is awsome you should put iton a dvd.

[d14k11]

who are they?

another group of Rent broadway?

this is the first time i saw this one...

well, they still great...

RENT is great story...

[gigidancerlicious]

Whats up with the guy in the suit they are supposed to be struggling to feed themselves let alone have decent clothes.

Original cast with Idina menzel and adam pascal will always be best! Original casts are always the best!

[chocliltiger]

The guy in the suit is probably benny (coz he can afford suits)

I agree with you even tho im English that no-one can beat the original cast (especially ADAM!!!) and this production was not the best!

[gigidancerlicious]

Im english aswell but the original cast just cant be topped ! They are amazingly talented and can't be beaten!

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

they obviously weren't going 2 come in wearing rags, they raised a lot of money you know

[aerobaybee123]

0:35 hotttie!

[XsupermeXx]

do you HAVE to comment that on every single video of him!? he's not even that good looking, he has weak features. I wouldn't go there.

[aerobaybee123]

Ummm... I've only replied on this one. Everyone has different opinions. Keep yours to yourself.

[XsupermeXx]

you haven't you've posted on the other video of this as well. It just makes you look like a sad little fangirl. Rent is about more than whether someone's a "hottie" or not.

[macychick]

They don't exactly look like starving artists to me- more like yuppies. And what's up with Angel, Mimi, and Joanne being played by white people?

[XsupermeXx]

I was thinking that. I know that sometimes Mimi is played by a white woman but it just doesn't make sense to me for other characters to change race suddenly :/ maybe they just couldn't find any actors that fit the parts perfectly.

[macychick]

Yeah, but isn't there a reference to Mimi being Latina? Something about "home where the Spanish babies cry."

[XsupermeXx]

yeah there is but she's still been played by a white woman before. It's stupid if you ask me, but there you go.

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

does it matter whether they're black or white?

[XsupermeXx]

well, it kinda does because the whole point of the show is about diversity and mixed race relationships are part of that- it isn't hugely important if one or even two characters are played by a different race to the original, but it kinda loses that element of its message if every character is suddenly white.

[happynin83]

wo. it just took me a moment to realize that this is not the american cast. im sorry but you really have to be from new york to embody those characters

[trudz900]

Where's Wilson and Jesse?! You can't have rent without Wilson and Jesse! They ARE Angel and Collins. Also is that Denise Van Outon?! WTF!!

[freakshow1432]

the guy at 0:36 is really hot

[talkativetasha]

look to the right of their faces!!!! they're there... :)

[tom9987]

none of them sound like theyre singing... are they even singing? where the heck are the mikes?

i live in england. i am english. but english actors just cannot do rent.

[aerobaybee123]

They are on the right of there faces. Connected to their ears

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

well done

[icclenomi]

english actors can do rent- but this producton wasnt of RENT. they changed it- englis actors performing the original subject matter probably could perform it- obviously depending on which actors also lol

[XsupermeXx]

sorry- replied to the wrong comment!

[icclenomi]

oh good lol- i was sooo confused!

[CanDizzleManPro]

original cast with idina menzel and adam pascal will always be the best

[tom9987]

yesyes

[slyguytoo]

i agree with that but i would say original cast minus fredi walker (original johanne) and plus Tracie Thoms (movie johanne) becasue shes ten times better!

[OrliChic83]

wow, the men in this cast are beautiful!

[lyraface]

Has anyone got the full version of this video?

[jade250394]

OMG how can u ppl say its rubbish

i soo luff it and i luv denise van outen

[xrebel123x]

I completely agree with u shes an amazin singer n presenter.

Plus Lee n Denise make a great couple

[Fiyero06]

rent is just a amercian themed show its one of the many shows that the amerccian theme cant be suppostered in london

[sillylily315]

of course they can! its just they tried to make it all 'remixed' so it didnt work

if they did it how it was intended they it wud be great,

and alot of shows have worked on broadway and west end, chicago wicked guys and dolls LOADS!!

[lyraface]

It wasn't the American theme that let it down, it would have been fine if they hadn't remixed it.

[Hybrid429]

There was a short while Off-West End that Rent (not Remixed) was shown, I saw both, and the non-Remix despite having a less "superior" cast, I think was the better of the two.

[joy229]

My son says the West End production of Rent was dissapointing. It's such a shame that a much loved and wonderful thing such as Rent never lived up to the excellence of Broadway.

[stevo691]

Lmao it took me ages of thinkin who the short blonde haired one was coz i recognized her face and shes from id do anything Lol!

Why did she have to go on that if she was already a pro and was in things like rent?! Lol

[JantoFangirl]

they're really good- i still prefer the cast in the movie though

[smexibubbles]

omg i love this song sooooooo much :):):)

[LucyLou0567]

Lol. Francesca from I'd do anything id on there. Oh yeah i forgot she was in that lols

[LaxxGirl104]

they suck. no offense

[pinkipinki96]

i know they suck really bad. no ofense to who ever made this

[semicollon00]

this wasn't even the real cast of rent!I like the real one better. Though, this is pretty good.

[loopynutcase]

They're all the people who were in the West End production (London) of RENT at the same time as Children in Need.

[bishcn01]

umm its from the BBC...ie BRITISH BROADCASTING COMPANY

[dancedance4evr12995]

it's a shame it's closing on broadway. but this just shows that rent will live on, having it be performed all over the world

[xdollymixx]

this is realy good eveyone is brillient but nothing can beat the obc

[xdollymixx]

this is realy good eveyone is brillient but nothing can beat the obc

[phantomphan42]

I saw the last showing of rent remixed. I thought it was really wicked. IT was a great evening. thanks for the video :)

[pot4000]

Incredible song, incredible show, incredible night.

[sugamara2004]

this song is just absobloodylutely amazing.

[jailandbail]

[livingdeaddolls]

Yeah, mine stops halfway through.

[vanessalaurenpeaty]

[Amosto]

Fukkin Yes mate. I saw Rent in the theatre on 23rd and it was incredible.

[mrluvmachine]

[supersaz13]
