    i get chills at that part!

  • Amen... Very good I need to contact yall to perform at my high school chior.... At lake comorant high school. :)

  • never get fed up of this song

  • wow, i'm actually about to cry. and that audience is wonderful, too.

    also, 5 people have no souls.

  • 2:41 she reached up to the heavens for that note. SING BOO!

  • the best musical EVER

  • I watch this over and over(:

  • @Smiley7556 Me too!

  • Awesome song!!

  • I'm pretty sure that the guy in the apple-green beanie is the same guys who's in Glee's Warblers. Am I right?

  • @loflaga222 He's the one on 0:39

  • wow.

    

  • luv this musical!!! and this song, just bot it on itunes!!!

  • 5 people hit the wrong button.

  • Wonderful! Very inspirational with words of encouragement for a Happy New Year!

  • I keep hearing that the beginning of Act Two (Seasons of Love) takes place at Angel's funeral, and everything leading up to that point is just a flashback. I just noticed that I didn't see Angel in the chorus line at all (or I just missed it). Still, it's that much more powerful.

  • @ThisIsJoseSpeaking Angel is there. You can see him at 2:13 in the middle with the red jacket on :) xx

  • @ThisIsJoseSpeaking Angel is in the line as a boy - and it takes place perfectly in line with the script - it's just a slow moment in the middle of all the action...in fact, during the I'll Cover You Reprise, you'll notice that Collins is singing and at one point the spotlight that is over Angel's spot is a teeny bit bright to emphasize the point that he's no longer there - I've seen the show 37 some odd times so i started to notice little nuances like that

  • ons of love- rent filmed live o

  • the harmonies are beautiful!

  • were singing this in choir!

  • Just yes! Such a well performed song.

  • What is the name of the main black lady with the big belt voice?... she is amazing.

  • @tomt2201 Gwen Stewart. And does anyone know the name of the male soloist in this? He's incredible..

  • @salzejos Marcus Paul James :) x

  • @tomt2201 Gwen Stewart, she was the original soloist in 1996 too! i got to meet her when she was in the closing tour production, she's so sweet and down to earth too!!

  • i disliked this song, not because I'm sad, but just because I didn't particularly like the tune...sorry

  • 4 trolls

  • it does not lack emotion

  • it lacks emotion

  • omg joanne is soo god (solo girl)

  • Beautiful!

  • Four people must to go to the doctor!

  • singing this in my school's chorus <3

  • I looked up every single version they had on itunes to try to get one that matched this performance: fail.

  • 2:41  Gives mi chills! It's so amazing!

  • this brings back memories of wen i was in 6th grade <3

  • i actully cant even belive 4 people disliked this song! this song is all about giving and sharing love?!?!?!! 4 sad sad people :(

  • @xibenny The down votes are  probably misclicks.

  • Brilliant!! Both soloists were incredible! Great song! Im gonna see this play soon hopefully. XD

  • woork out !!!!!

    

  • Four people, sadly, have no love!!

  • When this song started i was thinking they looked dead....but after the second solo i was like this is much better.

  • THE WOMEN SOLOIST KILLED IT WOW

  • You guys RENT is back in New York and take my word for it, it's AMAZING. Mr. Larson would be so proud and after all these years it still feels fresh and relevent.

  • @Platinum400 I'm glad to hear that it's good...the preview videos (I'm assuming) don't do it any justice, the cast just doesn't seem to have the OOF that the original cast did...

  • @pamperedmark Yeah the preview videos are shitty and awful but I saw the show before they even came out and it just blew my mind.

  • I dont like the female soloist. She can sing, but she over does it. And the last long note was "measure your life in love" Not lowuuuuuu

  • @wDoucheCanoe She was the original soloist when the show opened on Broadway too, and she was excellent in that.

  • when i was in middle school or 7th grade my musical theatre class sang this song with the choir class. this was 3 years ago and i am now 15. i also got to play Romeo after playing a bush cuz apparently the bush was a better actor than the original Romeo.

  • I only knew this song the other day. But I'm so addicted to it, it feels like I''ve known it every since it was made...!

  • I've known this song for three years.....every time I hear it I wanna watch the play more and more. Think imma go get it one of these days

  • 3 people were so moved by the awesomeness that their hands were shaking and tears were streaming down their face, so they accidentally clicked on the dislike button, and then collapsed from shock at their obvious loyalty to the BEST MUSICAL EVER

  • @pussiepie1470 haha lol :)

  • Rent has changed my life forever. It has taught me to live today like I'm going to die tomorrow. Thank you Jonathan Larson.

  • 3 people missed the like button

  • カコイイ

  • so...many...chills! :DDDD

  • what a fuckin great song

  • wow 3 people dont kno good music

  • Can't wait to go up to NYC and see this show's return Next Month!

  • @charlestrm IT'S COMING BACK?!?!?!?!

  • @cloiscool22309

    Yep, next month it makes it returns to NYC on the 14th

  • @charlestrm Me too I got my ticket and I'm going next week i'm so pumped.

  • I spot Telly Leung ♥

  • the kids @ my school sung this

  • Male soloist just has the biggest smile on his face the whole time

  • Why were Fredi ánd Tracie there? Not that I mind, they're both incredible, but it seems a bit double:P

  • @xlienxx that's Tracie and Gwen (:

  • I dont like the solos

    I lied..........THEYRE FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!

  • I love this song, its amazing!!

  • Wee Sinq This iN chours And Im tryiin Out For That Solo Part . BOTH

  • @redbonechu1 little late, but good luck! Hope you make BOTH!=)

  • Good night!

  • Is that Mos Def at 1:22??

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MUSICAL!!!!

  • 800th thumbs up! i am truly lucky!

  • This was fantastic, i didn;t like the solos too much, but they were still good, just not my taste

  • awesome

    

  • Gotta love live singing. They sanging like they taking up an offering in church!

  • Anytime there is a Rent production near me I go to it. I love this show. It is so moving. Best. Show. Ever.

  • I love this cast but I am really not into the first solo. I feel like she's trying to be loud and have a diva personality.

  • @2MinutesToMidnightt OMG i think so TOO!!! :)

  • Anyone knows the name of the lady that lead? She was AMAZING?

  • God, they're amazing.

  • Can anyone answer who the women who sang first is? like what part? or is it just a solo! id love to know!

  • @mrjcb91 it's the character Joanne, Maureen's girlfriend in the play

  • @meow580 No shes not, Tracie Thoms is Joanne in this. Thanks anyway x

  • @mrjcb91 I thought you were asking who the character singing that part is and if so the solo is sung by Joanne. I couldn't say who the actor was

  • @mrjcb91 it's Fredi Walker shes the original Joanne but felt she was too old at some point for the part & thats when Tracie took over

  • @mrjcb91 The womans name is Gwen Stewart and it's just a solo, that she originated in the original production of Rent. In the movie Tracie Thoms who replaced Fredi Walker as Joanne sings the solo so that's why some people are confused but yeah it's Gwen's solo.

  • The soloists have beautiful voices, they are sooooooo many times better in this that the film!

  • The female soloist was amazing!!

  • Oh my gosh someone is not blending around 2 minutes great song though I sung for my senior tribute video last night and so many people cride

  • Some of the people who played in this played in the original broadway show I think... still beautiful

  • man i do not want to be in the same room as the female soloist when she get's angry xD

  • CAN YOU GUYS SHUT UP ABOUT GLEE?!

    god I think they would do a perfect cover of this.

  • 2:17-2:19 shows all Eden cares about is being loud. CLEARLY doesn't know what it means to blend.

    On a different note, Marcus is incredible here and Gwen sounds great too!

  • good

  • Is this the original cast ? I don't think so . The other one is so much bettterrrr

  • @angrypeanut123 its some of the original cast. it changes up sometimes...you know?

  • @angrypeanut123 it's not... and yes the other one is better... i actually like the movie's version best and 2 of the woman there are here... mimi and joanne

  • @nbjonhrho Umm no, the movie Mimi is not here.

  • @angrypeanut123 No it's not the original cast.. The original cast is really good but I LOVE the movie's version

  • What is the girl name on 45 second.

  • @RatedRKO05 That is Renee Goldsberry (Mimi)

  • That male soloist is incredible

  • @Paulozzzz he looks like he would sing like Bob Marley

  • @J03y29 I agree! Anyone who wants talk about having sex with Justin Bieber should find another forum!

  • @J03y29 Also Rent was something with heart in it.

  • I swear every time Gwen Stewart opens her mouth and belts out those lyrics, I get misty-eyed. Truly an amazing performance.

  • Is this an older version on broadway?  Those mics are really weird. Usually they are on their forheads and barely visible and here they are just out there.

  • Is this the Broadway version? I thought all the actors in the movie were the same as in the musical except like 2. Those people look really unfamiliar to me... :O

  • @PieLord1011 Five of the original main character reprised their roles in the movie. The musical had a lot more minor character for the chorus.

  • this is actually amazing, west end totally destroy musicals compared to broadway!!

  • anyone else pissed that american idol butchered this song?

  • Why does everybody have to mention Justin Beiber on EVERY FREAKING VIDEO. If you want him to go away STOP GIVING HIM ATTENTION! good lord.. anyways.. the female soloist on this one was kinda bad.

  • @beckasha83 Aw I agreed with you until you said that about Gwen. She was awesome and not only did she originate that solo, she helped Jonathan Larson create it.

  • @Platinum400 She just sounded off to me in this. I checked her out elsewhere and she did great.

  • yay! can't wait for charice version!

  • @chatify68 charice version? is she gonna sing this?

  • @crusader0202 hahaha... i was hoping... coz i read somewhere that this was in the line up of songs that was sung in the FAAN event in Los Angeles. Charice was one of the guest performers. As it turned out , Charice sang Halo. Watch the rehearsal/sound check video in youtube - Courtney does Charice : Backstage with the Backbeats

  • 2:37... OMG

  • My god that was beautiful:)

  • seasons of LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OVEEEE!!!!

  • I was filled with glee when I multiplied 1440 by 365....

    tee hee....

  • whats the man's name who is singing the solo?

  • @joyariffic marcus paul james, very talented performer.

  • Could you just listen to the song without speaking about stupid babies? Who cares about them?

    Just listen to this amazing song and appreciate it!

  • a test and the showman ship of true talent

  • This is just a timeless song.

  • .........(goosebumps).........­..

  • Why is it that the two most-liked comments are about Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus? The two of them have absolutely no relation to this song, so there is absolutely no reason for comparison. These comments showcase why children shouldn't have access to the internet.

  • This is SOO amazing.

  • wow this song is so magnificent, this song is an ost of a movie right will someone tell what is that movie pls......

  • This isn't the original cast is it?

  • @Aeileo this is the original cast...io have the dvd of the full performance and this is it...yupp...but still one hell of a performance....i wish i gotta go see it live...sadness

  • amazing song...-)

  • truly magnificent, the movie is nothing compared to this

  • Holy shit! I have goosebumps from listening to this.

  • if you think this is good then listen to the other songs there all great

  • 2 peoples seasons wont be filled with love

  • 2 PEOPLE SUCK

  • I remember watching the DVD and playing this song over and over again! Magnificent!!!

  • This song is awesome, and the only way to do it to stand on the apron and sing it, with all your heart. nothing more and nothing less, with only that, its perfect. :D

  • My glee club is doing this song :)

  • WOW WOW WOW :D

  • So fantastically amazing in everyway, you can't find a fault with this song or the entire production. It's so overwhelimg with talent, from score/ lyrics to the voices and singers themselves, it makes you feel up and want to cry. Incredible. I would say it was unstoppable, I expect it will be in the RENTheads hearts. Bring on the Broadway revival and long live the memory of Jonathan Larson, a true genius if I ever saw one. x

  • John will be remembered always. Rent is the best thing to happen on the planet. Thank you.

  • I think glee should do a version of this just so i can hear what it would sound like. If it sucks oh well? Then ill just listen to this one (:
