Daphne and Adam are the originals and therefore THEEE BEST in my opinion, hands down, forever. They WERE the characters.. they embodied the roles that Jonathan created. Adammmmmm <3 and Daphne on this song.. is the absolute most beautiful thing.
What I love most about this video I can sum up in two words: Adam Pascal. Yes, Daphne is good, she is the standard "Mimi", after all, but that man is unbelieveable!! He looks so good, and sounds even better. My favorite part is during the first few minutes as Daphne sings and he just smiles that gorgeous smile at her, almost like, "that's my leading lady." It's so totally their song, too, like no one does it better, I don't think...and I've heard some pretty decent renditions.
haha. this was very good.. but what was that, i heard some random singing on the side around 3:00. And DRV sounds so good here, better than she usually does. I just wish she would have have held out her last "I DIE!!!" a little longer like in her original recording. Its so pretty in the original recording , i wish she could've done that. But other than that.. great chemistry between them.
Daphne Rubin Vega sounds amazing here. I think i like her better here then in the Rent 10 reunion. By the way, do anyone know when this was becuz they look so young here?

I like Rosario Dawson's voice better. I think it's much sweeter, less gritty. But then again, Mimi is kind of a gritty character. It's just not as engaging as Rosario's.
She sounds better here than she did for RENT's 10th anniversary. But I guess voices change over time. I loved her being the original Mimi, her voice then was Mimi. And Adam.. wow.. He's just so pretty.. and his voice!!! omg.. lol.
That's funny, she had the lyrics. I mean, ti is a very repitive song, hard to remember very long. I thought Adam was the only one who needed lyrics haha.
they should do stuff w/ the original cast for like Rent 15 and Rent 20, etc, until the cast is way too old! I wish I had an aging machine that made them 10 years younger!
