  • Why do they, like so many modern American artists, feel the need to "remix" (read: ruin) a perfectly good (or, ya know, perfect) piece of music?

  • Wtf, why are we in a club all of a sudden?

  • If they wanted to changed the plot, fair enough so it matches the UK and it was more relatable, bty why change the music up?

  • sounds fucking awful!

  • Oh for god sake this is ridiculous! Why change what is already brilliant! Its embarrasing!

  • Rent remixed... um

    WTH?!

  • These people have ruined Idina Menzel, Fredi Walker, Tracie Thoms, Jonathan Larson and the poor people who wasted money on this production.

  • This is full of shitt

  • :o

    What have you done to my RENT, West End?!?!

    Denise Van Houten is not a patch on Idina Menzel!

  • Rent Remixed = CRAP!

  • From what I can hear, your voice sounds pretty good, but don't attempt to record something if it's that low quality.

  • haaaaang on, Francesca Jackson was in Rent with Denise Van Outen and then she auditioned for I'd Do Anything and Denise Van Outen was a Judge...hmmm i'm seeing a bit of favourtism

  • favourtism !! so thats why fran was out in week 4!

  • uv spoilt this song!

  • i knoww mann. it was amazing before, and the writers of 'Rent Remixed' have RUINED it!!

  • Jonathan Larson would not like this. Not at all. Don't mess with his work. or you are mocking him and not recognizing his dying wish.

  • it sounds like a fucking disco down at the local pub! what a disgrace! long live idina! and the orginal cast of rent! the actors in this shud be embarissed!

  • What in Idina's name is this piece of trout!

    Jonathan Larson is probably turning in his shoes!

  • i stand by that they slaughtered rent...

  • Oh gahd!! This sucks!!

    Denise Van Outen deserves a better production than this Sh*tmix.

    God bless Idina.

  • crap

  • why didnt london just but on RENT. not RENT the S**tmix. tbh. the cast doesnt compare to the Original cast, and this music realy does put Rent to shame

  • they did but no one went to see it so they decided to do this so that it would appeal to different people

  • @BamBamLN

    I agree, i feel embarressed as a brit to say we put on this piece of rubbish! I agree i dont know why they didnt just put on the original!

  • I hate this they ruined it.

  • Is Maureen rapping? Maureen doesn't rap, she sings dramatically. Long live Idina, Fredi, and Tracy for their versions.

  • ahhhhhhhh so so so so bad what would mr larson be thinking right now!

  • Wow, I'm so happy they turned an emotive and expressive song into a dance club track. Way to got. /sarcasm

  • I hate this! I can't even express how insulting this is to Jonathan Larson's memory! His music was so beautiful! UGGH.

  • I am very sad that such a wonderful and meaningful show to so many people is going to leave knowing that the "Rent remixed" is or was out there. I was really hoping Rent would leave June 1 with a BANG! But I really think this (jazzy, upbeat, and messed up) Rent is bringing the whole show (broadway, West End & Tour) down. :(

    Goodbye Love. 6/1/2008

  • Luckily it closed already. It sucked.

  • i for one love this version!!!... :-D

  • omg i thought of going 2 c this in the west end but who put the beat behind it?? its totally ruined the song.

  • i agree way to ruin one of the best shows ever i hate the remixed version they were trying to make rent contemporary it's already contempary wth if it's not broke don't fix it i strongly oppose this

  • Who decided to destroy this song? This is truly appalling and I can't believe someone would have such disregard for an excellent song.

  • i thought denise was amazing

  • seriously who in hells names idea was this

  • oh my word...... why why why do people insist on jazzing songs up... the originals are brill on there own....

  • oh god this is sickening

  • It so doesn't work "straight" (only a slight pun intended)

  • the original broadway procuduction is WAY better, this si disgusting

  • the show isnt very gud without denise trust me

  • Great new arrangment - much better than the original. In fact I prefer ALL the new arrangments, to the tired old Bon Jovi style of the original!

  • not exactly my style, i still dig the original better, sorry.

    maybe if the quality was better i could hear it a little better but i think an opinion is still an opinion and people play the charactors differently and they have their own style of singing and i respect that but i dont know, i think im gonna roll with the original, sorry.

  • agreed, you need to actually see the show then you will see how well it works. People are up in arms and judging things from a few songs or reviews from Rent heads. Watch it and judge for yourself. It cant be recieving standing ovations for nothing!..

  • it actually works really well in context of the whole show like this. I just saw it tonight, and I was pretty unhopeful from listening to these recordings on the net, but it ended up really good to be true.

  • excuse me, but what song is this? because it certainly isn't the song I have grown to know and love. this is an imposter, and a god awful one at that. make them stop, por favor.

  • wtf have they done. seriously. If it's not bad enough Vanouten is doing it they have chavved the songs up. sacralidge

  • It's Danceable... I guess that's what they were going for... I don't like it though. It's too... Kylie Minogue for me.

    The actresses are great though.

  • Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

  • what the hell that like remixed shit is stupid

  • I must say, this worked better than some of the other reworked versions of the other songs :)

    xx

  • omfg they have ruined it

  • this stinks. this arrangement stinks. pointless.

  • Not quite pointless. New arrangements and staging were, allegedly, the only way permission would be granted for London to have RENT again, after it's disappointing performances as the original production.

  • You know, I was wondering how it worked as a disco number... and it works pretty well, I think, though I'd like to hear a better quality recording. Jackson and van Outen sound amazing though!

  • it's different but out of everthing i have heard it is the least horrible (minus the quality). The vocal arrangement sounds pretty close to the orginal, it's just the background music that i don't care for.

  • It's actually really good! Denise and Francesca are both great!

  • sounds good, but the quality is awful
