3:43 This woman is so gorgeous. At that moment with her curly hair falling in front of her face, with those huge eyes looking right into his soul, breathing heavily, so full of life and ready to go, how could Roger possibly turn her away? He's a much stronger man than me.
i saw Rent live on broadway for the first time 3 years ago. i went to the show with my friend and she was amazing as Mimi. She really sold the character!
@Kroshkakiska This is from the Rent: Live on Broadway DVD which was a recording of the very last performance of Rent on Broadway 7th September 2008 :)
I love REG and I think she is a kick ass Mimi, but I can't help but wonder how she would have been as Joanne. I really think her TMOLM would have epic.
she just *gets* Mimi. I've seen the show (various tours and B-way) and there were some actresses who were playing a carticture. She is a real person up there. Simply stunning performance. Favorite Mimi I've seen, by a long shot.
her voice is beautiful, but i dont think she fits mimi's character very well. she seems a little too old, i guess. mimi is supposed to be sassy but naive. her voice would be great for joannes character though:)
@11carlyp I think her voice is richer than most Mimi's I've seen (and lets be honest, half the cast looks way too old to pass for people in their 20's) but I do think her acting transcends the kind of odd casting choice. IMO, though, I don't think Mimi's naive...she's a stripper and heroin addict. She's been around the block.
I love Rosario version of this song . this girl can sing but it seems like she is forcing herself and all that extra noise is unnecessary. Love you Rosario , you rocked the song and your dancing was amazing
@BlindTruths I almost think she's better than Rosario Dawson, if we're talking voice! Especially if you compare their versions of "Without you". But the screen is so much different from the stage it's hard to compare.
@BlindTruths the thing is that both rosario and renee where cast more accurately. Mimi is supposed to be 19, fresh, sexy, fun...other Mimis looked either too old or too ugly, or they were bad actresses. Antonique Smith, for example, had an amazing voice and she was good looking, but she was a bad actress at that time. Renee doesn't look very young, but at least I don't laugh when she says "I'm 19" in would u light my candle!
I really like her version of Mimi. The voice and delivery of the song is just so clean. It's so amazing that her voice didn't waver even a bit while dancing and doing all those exhibition of her down the staircase. haha. and the quality of her singing is just... so good.
@nejisorariku3173 Apples vs Oranges. Show me a Rosario live version and then we can talk. She is the best IMO specially as far as singing and dancing goes LIVE, perfectly in tune, Rosario the sweetest and I adore Rosario
Is it me, or does Roger sound failry weak... compared to Mimi? I'm going to assume it was a deliberate characterization choice on his part. Or maybe I'm just used to Adam Pascal.
I love Rosario as Mimi but this lady does a great job... a tad old looking for the character though
