Take Me or Leave Me

[MsCarnelianRed]

That was wonderful. Just....I never knew Nicole played Maureen....Im going to go cry tears of joy now -sniffle- Just wonderful

[kokoricharmed]

Tracie Thoms kills this song every.single.time. SHE IS Joanne.

[AnskuuBanskuu]

Ohh I wish I was Tracie...

[theloverofmovies91]

Why dosent she sound like this when she sings her won songs???

[GraysonsSon]

Sorry Nicole. Only Idina can do the "l-l-l-leave me." Thanks for trying.

[JerryO89]

"cause every night whoooose in your beeddd oooohhhh come on now WHO?!" i died. that was really awesome :)

[0824wishie]

nicole sounds AMAZING....when she's not singing her own songs. brilliant performance.

[macca5467]

holy crap. so good. O.o

[defygravity141]

tracie thoms IS joanne

period end of story.

[ChrisLP182]

TRACIE THOMS is AMAZING!!!

[MrMitvet]

They look uncomfortable playing lesbins.. not good =\

[selemawit14]

Nicole can sing, never knew she was a good vocalist.

[misschristine3451]

@selemawit14 yeah she can sing.  In fact, she went to a performing arts high school, majored in acting and musical theatre in university then played Velma Kelly in a production of Chicago amongst other things.

[teaktrub]

wow.. 1 dislike?

[jmoney30643]

Wow Nicole is AMAZING

[missblondie2010]

that was AMAZING! She shouldve played Mimi while she was at it, she would have done better doing both parts than vanessa could even do at one, :)

[iampouter]

no one can replace idina.. but nicole definitely rocked maureen!

[PureSmashing91]

Nicole Sherzinger the new Idina??? xxx

[LizHatcher2099]

Perfect just like the oringinal!

[starlee24]

Nicole Scherzinger was good-she doesnt hold a candle to Idina

[iHeartMADtv]

Can I please trade places with Tracie Thorns for this one scene plllllease? Ugh. Nicole is just. I can't even

[made0041]

I like the one with NPH and David Burtka, that's my favorite version! :D

[angelismx]

holy shit, Nicole fucking nailed this.

[SkylarAstinFan]

@Byebyebaby4 I was in Garden Box 30

[Byebyebaby4]

Where was this filmed from

[JustiiceIsTheShiiz]

Tracie Thoms<3 Need I go on?

[ashleyfiglow1014]

Tracie is the best Joanne!

[Ashluv085]

Does tracie just do all of the Joanne parts? lol because every single Broadway one ive seen it looks like her. or is it her? I mean i don't mid its just like she owns the part of Joanne. Does she ever get tired of doing this?lol

[LunyLovegood]

@Ashluv085 no she wasnt in the original but she is in the movie and the recent broadway ones too.

[ZachariaVic]

Nicole is just fantastic. im totally speechless....

[erioldark]

No Maureen will ever be as good as Idina's

[ElleBelle171]

It doesn't matter how many times she sings this (which has been a lot) Tracie Thoms kills it.

[JamieZeleneGlades]

This was great. But for me, can't beat the Tracie and Idina version. They had something else. Created this other kind of magic.

[ChrisLP182]

@JamieZeleneGlades remember though, Tracie and Idina had a PRE-recorded version so it sounds more perfect...this was live. different circumstances

[laladarkstrings]

OKAY. TRACIE THOMS IS SO MUCH TALENT AT ONE IDENTITY!!! SHE IS LIKE SO SO SO AMAZING!

[gummiebaerrs]

Oh, damn they were good. Geez, up until watching this, I was sure no one had anything on Idina Menzel's performance, but gotta admit... this makes it difficult to stay loyal haha

[askeung87]

good song with good singers, but the lyrics aren't all the same. Although, cool to have a full orchestra with horns and all with a rock flair. Different...

[Anelajee]

AMAZING!(:

[kitara251]

Love Nicole's version of Maureen; Much love for Tracie!!!!

[13deathKISS]

Whoa!!! Nicole's voice fits so well with this song along with Tracie's!! XD This is amazing how well the two sounded. Their voices were so powerful!

[TheNamesNicole1012]

Saying that Tracie was phenomenal is a given.

But, my goodness, I was so impressed by Nicole. I had no idea that she would ever be able to pull this off and she so did.

[ally13525]

Is it bad that I can compare her to *gasp* Idina?

I wanna kill myself for actually admitting that...

[lumobachster]

Favourite song, two of my favourite singers/artists, favourite play/movie, and most of all My Favourite and the best Maureen and Joanne.. I so love the chemistry between Nicole and Tracie.. sizzling hot!!!

[jnt8631]

Tracie Thoms is phenomenal! And I def have a new found respect for Nicole Scherzinger. I think Broadway (or off Broadway in this case) is her forte.

[TVP4]

Better than the movie (which was all I've seen up to this point. Lol.)

I wonder if the audience applauded where they applauded because of the movie or if an audience would applaud where they did pre-Rent: The Movie.

[TheHavanaluv]

Respect. You've earned it, Nicole Scherzinger.

... keep trying, Hudgens. Actually, no, don't.

[ffchrissie]

Tracy really had the advantage going into this though cuz she did the movie AND played Joann on Broadway as well lol But Nicole is amazing too!

[MisSimplyComplicated]

i love nicole sooo much!

[nicwisscherzilton]

nicole kicks butt :)

[blackvixen27]

I love it how Nicole tries to not overpower Tracy's voice. <3

[fitxofxvanity]

I LOVE this. She has such an amazing voice.

And Skylar Astin <3333

[8bittrauma]

Wow. Nicole is actually better than Idina Menzel.

[Emjem1995]

@8bittrauma They are completely different interpretations of maureen so you cant really compare them, In all fairness she is good and Idina was fantastic they where really good as maureen.

[GnR100]

hottest joanne and maurenne ever !!

[germanysmadhatter]

Tracie definitely holds her own against Nicole!

[lovemusicvideos]

I love Tracie Thoms look on her face at 3:09-:10 it cracks me up! LMAO

Nicole did really good!

[leahnicole08]

my favorite song! great duo :)

[ThoroughlyModernMeli]

She did a much better job than I expected. Kudos To Nicole.

[evanescencerocks24]

[whalan367]

[meangirl714]

[ba4774]

The best pairing of Joanne and Maureen - love Nicole and Tracie.

[pipipipi2689]

[SkylarAstinFan]

@pipipipi2689 No, I was told I couldn't record video by an usher. I got Skylar's highlights anyway though. What I recorded will all be uploaded. I'm working on it!

[sofronio]

PHENOMENAL

[Elikolani91]

Nicole can sing everything!! she's the best:)

[lissa28]

That actually may be the best Take Me or Leave Me I've seen to date.

[jdemlow713]

@lissa28 my thoughts exactly!!

[sodafreak10101]

nicole scherzinger stole the show. AMAZING!
