i wish they were back on broadway. I'm 17 now and was too young to fully understand Rent before the show was closed. if they just had ONE more show, I could check that off my bucket list.
oh man! i wish i couldve been there for the last performance!!!!!!!!!!! ugh im happy and sad at the same time and ive watch this so many times and it hasnt gotten old!
snowyangel97, Yes, they just stand in a line next to each other and sing. That is the way the song is done. Make sure there is a good mixx of both boys & girls. I've seen MANY performances of this song on Youtube. Yes, there is alot of harmony. Also, snapping of fingers & clapping. I'm sure you will do a great performance! Good luck!
This song sounds like it has so many hard harmonies and stuff. Thing is, i'm doing a show with my musical theatre groupp, and the teacher asked me and no one else to come and do this song with the older group, no one from my group is doing it. Do they ust stand in a line and sing? No dancing or anything? xxx
Fans of musical theatre know well live perf. are often filled with nuances and minor imperfections here and there, and it's just a bit of that uniqueness that makes live perfs. so thrilling. Just like lovers of classical music appreciate the "messiness" of a violinist, with their scratchy bows and soft breathing noises, it adds something raw that is rarely experienced on studio recordings. Let's keep the beauty of live shows real, and leave the autotune for Glee and pop.
@mconstanta No It Isnt. There'z Only One Person In This Performance Thats From Tha Movie & Thats Tracie Thoms @ 1:39. She's Tha Woman With Tha Glasses On. She Plays As Joanne In Tha Movie. However, There Are Some Ppl From Tha ORIGINAL Broadway Cast Of Rent In This Performance Too.
@itsryanfrank Usually soul and emotion isnt referred to as "a bit messy" she obviously has had extensive vocal training and pure talent, she is on broadway for a reason!
@Shadesorrow fair play, i know where your coming from. but i just think you can show emotion and soul without sounding messy, thats what i think a vocalist should be able to do. its her breathing that i think is messy tbh. sorry if i offended
@SensitiveSoulFir touche, but i have qualifications in music and grades in singing, so sit down and calm down, i was stating my opinionm, not fact. and lets face it, you dont know the woman singing, so dont take it personally. jeeeeez
@itsryanfrank yeah, no come back, thats what i thought. no point even reading commented if you're going to get offended. :) check out my videos whilst you're on here. i'm sure you'll find my video of behind these walls by scott alan most satisfying. however, it may be rubbish to a person with such a musical background.
God, I'd have started bawling so hard if I knew it'd be the last time I'd sing this song. It's such a beautiful song with a little heartbreak and a lot of joy in it.
I love how there is a whole cast on stage i can still hear Tracie Singing her voice is SO strong. I LOVE it. I love seasons of love so much. It is a great song. Everyone who has those solos nails it. Honestly i LOVE it so much. I listen to this song So many times a day.
@Fenderjag68 obviously u havent heard Tracie Thoms sing this solo.. She beats gwen, at least in my opinion... And the only collins i've heard that can really sing this is, jesse.. He has a unique voice that cant be imitated
This is such a beautiful song. About just remembering all the good times. "Celebrate remember a year in the life of friends." Wow. No one wonder RENT is so famous. <3
everyone is an awesome singer great job

Yu Can Type In Tha Search Bar " Rent Take Me Or Leave Me " & Yu Can Click On Tha First, Third & Fourth Video To Match Tracie's Face.
Tha Fourth Video Includes Nicole Scherzinger Of The Pussycat Dolls As Tha Nue Maureen. That Video Is Also From Their Newest Show - From Auqust `10.
