  • Daphne's voice sounds like a cat yowling mixed with the sound of a piece of iron being rubbed against a cheese grater. I mean...goodness. Please, cleanse yourself of all that is beautiful, lovely RENT (and Adam Pascal) and never, ever sing again.

  • gahhhh this has always been my favorite version of What You Own... i love how daphne made it her own and i think the end is just amazing <3

  • Anthony and Daphne both have two different voices, Daphne did a good job just don't hate because she's singing with Adam <3

  • Dude I cant stand Daphne's voice. Its like a cat scratching on a chalkboard. Its uck! Where is Anthony Rapp??

  • Sorry, but they could as well only leave it up to Adam to sing it alone. If Anthony Rapp wasn't going to be singing, I mean. I usually don't mind Daphne, but this song wasn't for her to sing.

  • Adam pascal gets an A++

    I cannot stand Daphine Rubin-Vega's singing

    so i would give her d-

    at least she hits some of the notes

  • These two were totally fucking in real life :) Awful singing, but great chemistry... 

  • Roger of course youre seeing Mimi, SHE'S SINGING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!

    XDDDD Sorry I love Daphne but this was just no. I couldn't take this seriously lol.

  • I really liked them. Both very talented people. It's not bad at all! But that's art. One person might like it and another not so much.

  • And thus the birth of Ladyjeans Pascal. :L

  • Not the right part for her. Not at all. Not a bad voice though.

  • Adam looks like he just came from the 70s o.O

  • Not even listening to the song...all i see is her ass in those pants....I'm just saying

  • I really wanted to like this. :(

  • I love Daphne, really I do, but this song was written around ANTHONY RAPP's voice. this is... interesting, but not exactly good. Adam is always great though.

  • I like it, it's fun. The lighting fashion and such is so 90's.

  • I like it, it's fun.

  • Meh, but I do like the harmonies and stuff at the end during the "alone"s. I find it funny when she said "Alexi? Mark!"

  • Mimi went crazy after she almost died, and thought she was Mark. Poor thing.

  • adam pascal is amazing like always

    but i think that daphne really needs to stick to mimi, she sucked. sorry (:

  • Alright! Well, now I have a headache. haha jk

  • Doesn't work at all. AHHHHHHHHHHH nooooooooooooooooooo. 

  • wait i can say if i think it sucks...she wouldnt even make it past the first round of american idol with that performance...sorry daphne love you as mimi though.......and to anyone who thinks rosario is a better mimi, you have to realize how much editing helped her voice for the movie...she is admittedly nowhere near the singer that daphne was

  • her voice sounds like sandpaper

  • Wow... I actually think Daphne's pretty good as Mimi but this is really just terrible... She's trying to hard doing weird riffy notes when they're not needed :/

  • Rosario is a better Mimi! but I've only seen the movie.

  • @countrygirl8ful haha then you should see a staged version

  • This song is a Roger/Mark song NOT a Roger/Mimi song! And all I could say is I am SO confused!

  • What? Daphne = Mark? No. Just.... no.

  • @tinngrinn

    What? She wasn't that bad when she played Mark that time I saw Rent live on Broadway... But the highlight of that show was Adam and Anthony singing Another Day... ;)

  • Yuck! I like her at times, but this yuck! BAD!

  • Um why is Daphne there/ Should'nt it be Anthony Rapp

  • Love Adam Pascal

  • um...ew. daphnes a good singer, but that wasn't the right song for her.

  • i really do not like daphne rubin vega. but she looks better than usual here though. and because i can barely hear her, she sounds better too. god i dont like her.

  • worst version of what you own ever. anthony definatley need to be there. what's up with daphne's bo-legged hunch?

  • This is really bad.

  • There goes my husband, Adam! :P

  • i know daphne has pipes, but this song is meant for two male actors, what with the harmonies and such. you'd think they would have picked light me candle or something

  • LOL. This is so wrong, it's hilarious. Where is Anthony Rapp when you need him? If you're gonna have these two sing a song together, let it be "Without You"--that might come off better than this. =0/. No disrespect.

  • Lol it's hysterical, watch it with the title, "daphne has a break down and thinks she's mark" :L

  • You know, I like ehr version.

    And I have never seen Adam smile so much singing a song. or dance!

    You can tell there is something there with those two <3

  • she is so off its terrible this song does not suit her at all

  • I love Adam. He makes me happy. Especially in those pants...I love his pants!!! And I agree with jerseygirlexit04...I would love it if he sang the phone book in my shower.

    Daphne, on the other hand, did not sound too pretty. This song is not meant for her. At all.

  • about the adam part.: ME TOO! :D <3

  • I love this song with Adam and Anthony Rapp do it, but this Daphne chick loses it for me. Sorry.

  • I love how you said her name like you have no clue who she was.

  • And I love how you judge about whether I not I know who she is :)

  • lol that's not what I said. I said I like how you said her name "as if" you didn't know who she was. No judgment there - just thought it was funny you said "this Daphne chick".

  • isn't she aout of tone in a lot of parts???? :'(

    I love her out tonight...but this.....uff

  • that is so how i feal she sings good but this song is not for her but she has a nice voice

  • Daphne doing Mark's part is kind of weird... You think they'd do "Light My Candle" or something... Adam is amazing, as always.

  • I don't like the way she sings at all

  • amazing!! cute daph needs her stoop to slink down and get her freak on. lil minx! adam can sing the phone book, in my shower...please

  • wow daphne looked good here! when was then this done?

  • Daphne's amazing! I find that husky out-of-control voice extremely attractive . . . wish she'd done the film, to be honest. Not that I don't like Rosario . . .

    And Adam's brilliant as usual!

  • Yeah, she should have done the film, but she was pregnant at the time and that would probably be out of character.

  • depends how many months pregnant she was, lol

  • haha except we all expect mimi to be pregnant in like a month after the movie ends anyway..hahaha

  • I like Daphne, only I can't stand her vocals. Her voice just isn't good- not to be harsh, but she sounds like an American Idol reject here. I don't know, I love the OBC- but Daphne is the only one who I feel does not have a powerful enough voice for the part. I know Jonathon Larson liked her... and that's more important- but damn, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She can't hold a candle (no pun intended) to Idina or Freddi. Definitely the weakest cast member, imo.

  • i know what you're saying, but she will always be my favorite cast member. i love her voice on the original soundtrack, but i definitely don't like it live. idina and freddi are amazing, but there's just something about daphne's voice - on the soundtrack.

  • daphne is pretty :]

    and adam is HOT.

    i love how everyone critiques his clothes. i wouldn't love him so much if he wasn't such a dork.

  • ADAM IS WEARING THE LADYJEANS!!!

    :)

  • LOVE IT! HAHA! I bet he regrets them now! HEHE! Luv him!

  • I love rent but they do look like they just rolled out of the mystery machine...

  • @therapture1 Hahahaha. This comment made me literally laugh out loud.

  • why does everyone hate on daphne?! she is soooo talented and the only reason rosario was even IN the movie is cause daphne was pregnant and couldnt do it. DAPHNE IS FUCKING AMAZING. to all those who dont like her, im not gonna say you suck, im just putting it out there that i think she is absolutely amazinggg. :-)<333.

  • Why does Adam look like a white Ricky Martin??? His pants are sparkly!?!

  • I really don't like Daphne. seriously no offense to those who like her, i just don't favor her voice. i also really don't think this should be sung by anyone else but Roger and Anthony because nobody does it better than those two.

    i lov Adam tho! :)

  • I want Daphne's shoes

  • i dont like her. i like rosario better

  • that was sooooooooooo bad. SO bad. adam pascal is the man but even he was off. and daphne was never good. very pitchy and rough. song should be sung by mark and roger, nobody else.

  • this was not her best song but everyone does have an off day. daphnes voice is unique. it is not bad its just not what people are used to hearing, like the typical pop songs on the radio.

  • but consider she's singing mark's part, and it's not for a female

  • That must have been a meaningful reunion!

  • dude... i love adam... but seriously man, what's with your shirt?

    daph was good. i like when other actors sing songs their characters did not, and i think they worked well together. :)

  • Its just nice to see them singing together!

    Much Love!

  • this is ROCKING

  • Daphne dances ever so slighty lke Tina Turner!

  • Daphne really shouldn't have sung What You Own but it was good for what it's worth.

  • I don't quite like that Daphne was singing the song, just because it's truly meant to be a moment of realization for Mark and Roger, where Mimi is the motivation, not the one being motivated. I'm not a big fan of when she's singing 'What was it about that night..to the talking to Alexi...' because she generally clashed with Adam. But I do love how the two of them looked together, and there was some new chemistry shown that was really good.

  • Wow. She looks amazing right there!

  • its cool Daphne brings her own style and its cool !! yeah!!

  • He was then on known as Ladyjeans Pascal...

  • hahaha

    im gonna call him that now

    lol

  • HAHAHAHA :)

  • grumpy kids...

    it's not that bad. it's kinda mess... but not painful. It is intresting... but yeah not bad. Poor girl couldn't do the LOW man harmonies that are supposed to be there so she made stuff up... lol.

  • .....I used to defend Daphne when everyone would go off on how much she can't sing, but this is one of my favorite songs of all time and she completely murdered it D:

  • SHE RUINED MY SONG!!!!!! :(

  • So the ONLY good comment that I can give to DRV in this clip is that she looks good. That's about it. Isn't that saying something. And.. the only time that DRV owns and rocks it out is on the Original Cast Recording. And that is about it as well.

  • T.T i cant stand daphne, her voice is really annoying and she's bitter that she wasnt in the movie. it definatly wasnt the director's fault she was pregnant. i love adam =) he's always amazing. can't wait to see him on tour. *cough* glad i never have ot see daphne sign live *cough*

  • It's not that her voice isn't excellent, or totally unique, it's more just her interpretation of the song I don't like. Throwing random notes around doesn't make for a great remix.

    Adam, as always, is amazing.

  • Okay, I LOVE Adam Pascal, but what the f*** is he wearing?!

  • she is one of the best broadway actresses of this time! try playing Mimi.. bet you can't shake it like hers... it had so much feeling in it.. also in her Fantine... she had so much feeling and it was a very unique tone! I love Daphne! she's the best!

  • her voice is super unique and amazing ive grown to looove it.

    adam pascal always does a great job no matter what.

  • how can this woman still have a career with that voice??????!!!!!! For God sakes... she was Fantine in Les Mis... it's easy to see that she didn't last long though! JUst listen, she is off pitch constantly!

  • i agree

  • OMG i know. i've never heard her before, so this a first impression for me... but she's off key a lot when she tries to harmonize, she's got horrible diction... i don't mean to sound like a snob, but personally, i think she's awful! yikes!!!

  • I'm growing to love Daphne's voice.

    I thinkkkk.

    This version is pretty good.

    (No one can top Adam and Anthony though.)

  • i feel like i am watching some wacky 80's video. I am sad to say this, but I really dont like Daphne. this is paining me a lot. Did they practice this before?? Poor Adam.

    Adam Pascal still rocks my socks.

  • This video is horrible. Adam as always doing a great job but Daphne, who for some reason is singing Anthony's part does a horrible job here. Sure Daphne is a great singer, but if she was a true professional she would have learned the part better and been on key. She was off key the entire song. Sorry but that is how it is.

  • I really don't like her voice.

    I don't really like the women who play Mimi for some reason. I love the character and Mimi's songs...just not the actresses.

    They're obviously great. I just don't like them.

    And I have to say, Daphne is my least favourite. :S

  • I love how they left Daphne with Mark's part, which at many parts is lower than Roger...

    But, I like how she jumps the octaves at points.

  • wtf.

    why is a GIRL singing mark's part?!

    Where is Anthony??

    Gawd.

    This Lady Sux. Sorry.

    ik im gunna get a ton of thumbs down for this,

    but she brings down adam.

    ADAM rocks! i want anthony here, not this friggen lady who cant sing

  • How can you not know who she is? She is a legend.

  • Yeah seriously.. How can you know who Anthony Rapp is but not Daphne Rubin-Vega? What are you New?

  • SHES THE ORIGINAL MIMI!

    How is she NOT a legend?

  • umm, cuz she stinks maybe?

  • She's still a legend and part of history tho. can't change that.

  • LOVE daphne!!! Best voice for Mimi!!

  • WOW! Daphne looks good there!

  • I miss Daphne but I like what Rosario did to mimi's character.

  • adam rocks!!!

  • i love Daphne Rubin-Vega!!!her voice is soo raw and like wow.u guys can never sing like her or evan half as good!

  • OMG I can't believe ppl r raggin on Daphne! She is WAY better than Rosario! She has more range and vocal experience than Rosario! You must be tone deaf if you can't hear the difference in the soundtracks! Grrr...BTW Daphne is the original that brought Mimi's character to life! On the other hand, I love the back view shot of Adam's ass! rawr! sexxxy! :P

  • cant stand her.

    euch.

    i love adam pascal tho.

  • lmao! adam's sparkly jeans are sexyy.

    they did a great job. and daphne looks gorgeous. =)

  • i think daphine looks great!they both hav nice voices

  • rosario is wayyy better but adam sounds the same thank god, his voice and looks ;) r inredible

  • i love adam pascal!!!! foreverrrrr

  • daphne tries to steal the show too much

  • why is adam always wearing sparkly jeans?

  • he's in touch with his feminine side =]

  • Why not? He looks sexy no matter what he wears. :D

  • because sparkles r fun duh lol

    :)

  • lol nice pants adam

  • Daphne and Adam what legends they are both awesome

  • Haaa. I love how at :25 they're just doing their own little dance. :] I love them.

  • she is amazing!!! i love her

  • Wow! I didn't recognize Daphne for a second...THAT'S NOT MEANT TO INSULT HER DON'T YELL AT ME...just wondering why she was singing this song tho?

  • OH and i'm not going to lie...Rosario is my favorite Mimi...Not that Daphne isn't good! She is an AMAZING performer..I have the OBC soundtrack and her Another Day Kicks the pants off of anyone elses if you ask me...But Rosario is still my favorite Mimi.

  • i agree with you, i'm just used to Rosario because i discovered Rent not too long ago and i've seen most of the movie, and i listen to the movie soundtrack...

  • hER VOICE HAS THAT BOHEMIAN STYLE AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • Totally agree. I can definetly see why Mr. Larson picked her for the role of Mimi. Shes perfect for this type of show.

  • She sucks i don't like her much........

  • well... she is the origainal, so like she is so kOol...

    you have to admit she is gOod at some songs...

  • umm ya she can daphine needs her voice to be fixed

  • Does anyone know when this was?

  • This is my favorite song from RENT, but this version does nothing for me. It seems like Adam just completely dominates her voice. Plus, I've always been a huge fan of Anthony.

    I'm sure she's a great performer, but she sounds a little off to me. I'm sure someone else disagrees and thinks this was amazing. That's fine.

  • Clearly she's no Anthony.(Dah!) But they both did a really good job with this, they work really well together.

  • yea...

  • Really odd to see anyone other than Mark sing that part....

    Not bad, just weird.

    And what's with the T. G. I. Friday's ad? XD

    God, they look like they're having such a good time together. It must be wonderful to perform with someone with whom you have such a tight bond.

    Luv ya Daphne and Adam!

  • We love Daphne, she's been a longtime company member and a great actress to work along side.

  • I've never realized how pretty Daphne is!! And anyone who doesn't like her isn't a true RENT-head, they've most likely only seen the movie.

  • daphne killed the whole peformence adam is sooo good and she sucks

  • Guys, they cast Daphne for a reason. She's GOOD. So you can stop with the hate comments. By the way, Adam Pascal's Ladyjeans complete my life. The greatest pair of pants EVER.

  • i agree. i think she's great, and apparently so did Jonathan. He kept her. So there.

  • SHE SUCKS

  • omg.i didn't know that was daphne at first.the only time i ever saw her was on the rent anniversay videos.i never saw her when she was younger.adam looks really good in this.

  • I normally love Daphne, and whenever I hear the OBC soundtrack I think she is really great. This, however, is painful to listen to. Even though it wasn't written for her, the way she is singing just makes me cringe. And keep in mind that other people have played Mark in the show, and although it's not the same as Anothony and Adam, it still sounds good. Daphne is just soooo off.

  • I LOVE DAPHNE RUBIN VEGA SHE ROCKS

  • Love Daphne and Adam but this performance was not that good...especially on Daphne's part but I mean it's not her fault, she's not usually supposed to sing this part so of course it doesn't sound the same as Anthony or any other Mark singing it!

  • most of the people who dont like daphne arnt true rent-heads... they have only seen the film...

    its sad cos although the film was good, it doesnt compare to the stage musical...

  • not that Daphne Rubin-Vega isnt Amazing but why is she singing this and not anthony???

  • i have no idea someone should look it up

  • when i watch stuff like this to not compare people to the others that have sung it, in this case anthony rapp, and try to look at the vocal performance larson wanted to create when he wrote the music...

    Unfortunately she is not in the right key and off-beat, i have to say 80% of the time and this mars the song sufficiently...

    although part of me thinks that is because this song was written as a male-male duet and therefore she goes deliberately low, but kinda f*'s it up.

  • She is terrible. I hate her so much.

  • I think Daphne is fantastic here, i wish people would stop insulting her. Here are two tips.

    1. If you don't like this watch her in Out Tonight.

    2. The part she is singing was not sung by her in the stage show so she's probably not as used to it as Adam Pascal.

  • Daphne is really good as MIMI, but not as mark... sorry... i love this song. but she did kinda kill it.

  • I think she sucks. Her voice sounds weird. But Adam Pascal rocks!

  • its different not weird

  • look you have to remember shes trying to sing a song she doesnt usually sing lok at her out tonight video you ll see the real her as mimi

  • I saw that video and I didn't like it.

  • Personally I think she did one hell of a good job. It's hard for a female to sing a song written particularly for Anthony. I also love that she tried to make it her own itsead of copying Anthony exactly. So I say kudos to her!

  • I agree with everyone else. Daphne sucks. She can not sing at all and she overexaggerates some of the words to make her sound like she's high or something. Yuck. Give me Anthony Rapp any day over that chick. No wonder they didn't cast her in the movie.

  • and miss know it all ok they asked her to be in the movie but she couldnt cause she was pregnant so know the whole story so know the whole story before you say something

  • Ok first of all I'm a guy moron. Second of all I don't give a shit about why they didn't cast her in the movie, she's horrible so they made the right decision to not put her in the movie period. Rosario Dawson is 1000x better than her. Looks and singing voice wise.

  • sorry the comment before was not me i agree that daphne is amazing but i didnt type that my friend must have done it when i went to the bathroom but please dont bash daphne she has a ery unique voice and you have to remember this song wasnt written for her.

  • psychoroach, it was her choice not to be in the movie. She was pregnant, sure Rosario was good but Daphne was the original and she was good!

  • yeah

  • Apparently you doubt Jonathan Larson's own opinion, since he called her the "Real Thing" during casting.

    And, for my own sake, would you mind listing the reasons why Rosario is "1000x better" than Daphne? Thanks.

  • rosario is way better thank you for getin it everyone else hates me for say she stinks and i like rosario better
