Anthony Rapp-- "Losing My Religion"

[Caplan21]

I never get tired of listening to this man sing, he's got such a beautiful voice. <3

[bluebirde67]

11 people lost their religion

[cavilierlover]

This man does not look like he's 39, I swear he's unaging!

[deathforthebadapples]

@cavilierlover I second that...

[Poet2916]

@cavilierlover that's what I was thinking when I saw the Tony Awards video from 96, then the 05' movie, I was like "Does he NOT age?"

[rosalieCULLEN436]

No wonder he got the part :3

[c10wd5]

@EmmyBea But my comment still stands....he is bi

[c10wd5]

@EmmyBea he isn't gay he is bi :D

[EmmyBea]

@c10wd5 I know, but he's mostly into guys

[EmmyBea]

I'm trying so hard not to fall in love with him because he's gay and three times my age. (seriously I'm 13 and he's 39)

[Moosiekinz]

@EmmyBea He's bisexual ;)

[YazminoBambino913]

I love this so incredibly much. Awesome song... Awesome guy singing it :)

[cityboyjosh100]

He sounds like a belend

[cityboyjosh100]

He sounds like a drouning cat

[metalheadrock]

I just love his voice...

[MikroBadass]

he should do tegan and sara

[ScarfsAndGuitars]

Gorgeous, I recently read his book, and I think of him everytime I hear this song.

[LolaBallet01]

Love anthony rapp... he used this song for his addition in Rent the first time Jonathan Larson ever hear him sing was with this song

[thisisgitsie]

i adore anthony rapp. <3

[tinngrinn]

Well, if this isn't sexy I don't know what it's called. <3 <3

[temperaxmental]

Anthony sung this beautifully. Very different from the original, but I really liked it.

[temperaxmental]

He sings beautifully. I love the original, but Anthony does a great job here.

[FitzyRawr]

Fuck me, amazing :)

[Soccershortsandmore]

I love this. I wish he was losing his religion for me... lol.

[ilovejb1391]

I get goosebumps every time I hear him sing. He's so amazing.

[geffrys100]

WOW he sounds great!

[ABCSuperSoaper]

I think I prefer this in some aspects to R.E.M. It's softer, easier listening.

[unfabulous386]

i love him.

:)

[CoconutHorse]

I couldn't imagine Anthony singing this, but I love it! ^_^

[unfabulous386]

This song was made for people with Anthony's voice! I love it :)

[Endless424]

@CoconutHorse He used this song to audition for Rent in the first place. He says it in his book. :)

[CoconutHorse]

Hah, I know that. (:

[jman09090955]

@Endless424 THANK YOU SOMEONE ELSE WHO'S READ IT

[babw12]

i wish that i could buy this on itunes with anthony singing it!!!

[SimplifyItClaire]

i can't watch him sing... all he does is close his eyes.. i mean, i've heard of geting into the song, but all the time?

i love his voice though, dont get me wrong.

[carsonmaier14]

this song has sentimental value to him. that may be why.

[soccergoalie21]

i love him singing this. i think its funny that he sings it so well now but whe he sang it for his rent audition according to him it wasnt his best.

[Broccoliburger]

He actually sounds like the singer. Weird.

Anthony rapp, the newest addition to REM?

[insomniasmoon]

I just read his book too. I thought of his audition as soon as I saw that there was a video of him singing this song.

[SuicidalMickeyMouse3]

he really needs to get the rights to record this. soon

[gilmorefanforever]

Anthony is amazing. I can totally see why Jonathan gave him the part after he heard him sing this!

[kassiehp0593]

The fangirling on here is NOTHING. I was stagedooring in St. Louis and a girl literally passed out. Ambulances and everything.

But on the song- great choice for his voice, I loved when he talked about auditioning in Without You and so it's cool to actually hear him sing it.

[heygirlheeeeyey]

Oh, I know I just read that book last week and it was SO good!

How did you do that stage door thing? I wanted to but I didn't know like where or anything...

[kassiehp0593]

After the show you leave the auditiorium for a side-door (different for every theatre) which is generally on a street. The Stage-door is where actors generally exit, fans line up, and then they sign things on their way out.

[WillTVoriginal]

whats his book about?

[carsonmaier14]

its a memoir. of love, loss and the musical rent. i recomend it to anyone and everyone

[WillTVoriginal]

lol.

how do you do stage door?

what do you do?

it sounds fun...but idk any of like da info.

thankss

and is it like only musicals or plays too?

~Will<3

[SuicidalMickeyMouse3]

I so wish he would record this on a cd!!!

[hisfavoriteaxe]

His voice made me love this song. I wish I could put it on my mp3.

Rapp is so talented.

[emilylengriffin]

I really want to get the sheet music for this song

[cloxwork]

wow so many fangirls...

i love this song. he sang it well.

its cool that it was his audition song.

[d14k11]

awesome...!!! Nice voice...

are they performing in Library???

LOL

[MscIsLife13]

hehe, I just met him last night!! After seeing Rent in Chicago we ended up going to the same restaurant! Amazing!! :D

[Ceicybot]

omg you are so lucky! i saw him in LA when he was here

[jenalicerose]

I wish I could marry him

[d14k11]

Hahah... he's too old for you to marry him...

[jenalicerose]

How could you Possibly know that?

Anyway, age is a meer stumbling block.

[d14k11]

just guessing, you know...

Heheh...

[loulouthesweet]

Well, also because he is Bi,

and pefers men.

-pokes-

I'm obsessed. :)

[Mollymoehoe]

anthony rapp, i love you with all my heart.

[blahblahpoopblah]

RIP Jonathan Larson.

[rentsbiggestfan1]

why does he always perform in librarys?

[musicman1692]

Because these are performances from his book tour :)

[rentsbiggestfan1]

He sang this song for his RENT audution and then heard it again on the radio the day after Jonathan Larson (RIP) died.

It must be emotional for him to sing this song.

[mollywolly14]

i love him so much his voice is so nice i like him singing htis song better than rem

[HardyFan4Life94]

I swear, sad as it may be, this is the whole reason I like the song. I mean, I love REM, but not for this particular song.

[loulouthesweet]

I just love his voice. and isn't this the song he singing for is audtion for rent? I read about it in his book. If it is,

AMAZING! <3 <3 His voice is just, real, and amazing. :D

[HardyFan4Life94]

It was indeed. It's no wonder he got the part, even with the verse skipping.

[loulouthesweet]

Yeah. I just love him. :D didnt he get called back on the first day? like, John said at his audition "We want you as mark"?

[HardyFan4Life94]

It was something along the lines of before he even left from the audition Jon told him that they wanted him as Mark. Or, that's what his book said.

[loulouthesweet]

Oh! Thanks alot HardyFan4Life94! :D

[rentsbiggestfan1]

It wasn't Jonathan. It was Michael Grief. He walked up to him as he was walking out the theatre and said "Hey. We'd like to see you back sometime. Okay?" and of course HE SAID YES!

RIP Jonathan Larson

Thank you

[tayloriscrazy]

Yes he sang this for rent its in withour u

[Mollymoehoe]

really, the 20 year age difference doesn't matter :) i've read his book at elast 5 times and whenever i hear this song i think of him now :) <3

[rentsbiggestfan1]

ME TOO!!! HAHA! Whenever I see a scarf, it makes me laugh! If youve seen rent, you know what i mean!

btw,

he is gay and taken.

sorry :)

[x3brokennxx]

Actually, he is bi ( but does prefer men)

and Rodney and him broke up.

[rentsbiggestfan1]

I know that. It's just it's easier for me not to fall for someone I know I can't have. You know what I mean. I like to think he is very gay and with Rodney. I know that he really isn't but It keeps me from falling in love. I don't want to go back to dissapointment. Do you get that?

[lostinrosered]

A girl can dream can't she? But thats cool that it works for you.

[themoxjew]

aww this is amazing <3 he sang this for his audition for Rent!

[glofigs]

did he sing this some for the rent audition? i thought int he book he said this was the song he sang for that audution

[NoOtherRoad]

Yeah. That's what it said in the book.

[withoutascript]

lol the fonny thing is I heard this song on an american idol video game i have and i kept going back to it being like is that anthony rapp (then was sad to find out it was not) and then THIS

[withoutascript]

i can't beleive i spelled funny wrong

[NoOtherRoad]

I love this song SOOOO much!

And he sings it so well! <3

[BroadwayBabe649]

anthony rapp is my favorite! he's so amazing with everything he does. his book is great too!

[zillious06]

I love this song when he sings it. It just sounds so REAL. I remember when I read his book... It changed my life. SADLY I cannot FIND the book now! D:< Whatever. I know what I read. And I loved every bit of it. Anthony Rapp is so pure and amazing the connection he has with Jonathon in the book is just a miracle. If you've read the book, you'll understand what I mean.

I love Anthony Rapp.

[elphibano]

i love hi saddly im like 13 :( lol

[taxes15]

This song really shows the beauty, power, as well as the geekiness that is Anthony Rapp's fantastic voice. Very good version of this song, I love it.

[DoctorShae]

I love him with a fireey passion and his voice is music to my ears

Whatever makes him happy, lol.

[insomniasmoon]

[mizzCici14]

I love Anthony Rapp. His voice is amazing. Mark is my fav character on RENT.

[CrissFutureWife93]

He's my IDOL!

[LunaCullen6]

i want to cry because his voice is so perfect for this song. I want to MELT when I hear his voice.

LONG LIVE MARK AND ANTHONY!!!

[jellybutterpeanutman]

Anthony Rapp, memoirs of love and loss and the musical "RENT".

xx

[WeirdFro]

anthony rapp is one of my top role models. he is probably one of my favorite people. i read the first chapters and (aside from the being bisexual parts) i though to myself, "Wow. This is me." it was kinda creepy. but, still, anthony rapp is awesome!

[willhdp]

his book is incredible. i understand what you mean. creepy huh? what an amazing actor and an amazing person.

[moviesmusic47]

what's his book called?

[gottalovepixar]

[sonhosdelatas]

OMFG!

I gave everything to see he singing!*___*

[jsmonty]

I'm reading the book right now...it's amazing!!!

[MonsterOfTheIsle]

I love this song, and I love Anthony Rapp, so this makes me extremely happy every time I hear it.

I know that you posted this video over 2 years ago, but I thank you for posting. You have given me something to look at when I feel down, so yeah thanks.

[xxjools093xx]

HE IS SO AMAZING!

[Broadway241]

Rent is amazing.

But anthony rapp is like

"AAAAA".

that was a choir of angels by the way.

ohhhhh,,i love him.

[x3rejectspanicx3]

Love this so, so much<3

[hooperxxx]

OMFG, it's Mark Cohen!

[piper419966]

i think this is the song he sang at his audition for rent because that song was the title of the first chapter in his book

[katiewasherexoo]

omg I met him in boston on the 15th, he's pretty amazing. He signed my book and my RENT cd, I was going to have him sign my mark scarf too but I was kinda in shock.

[lilstege]

omg this man is amazing and his book is great. Also his voice is amazing and if I could meet anyone it would be him

[xcxrunner]

what's his book called?

[Safuza]

Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss and the Musical RENT

it's fantastic! =D

[xcxrunner]

can you buy them at most Border's/Walden's?

[Safuza]

ya. I think I got mine at Barnes and Noble too. So any of those stores should be fine

[xcxrunner]

huh, i'm going to the library tomorrow, so i'll see if they have it..

[lgfrommk2931]

They might not have it at the library, they only had one copy at my barnes and noble.

[xcxrunner]

thanks, i still will probably look at it once i get done with my current reading list

[julesnoelle]

He's so amazing. I wish I could meet him. I read his book last year and man, I loved it. My student teacher saw me reading it and told me she's a friend of his. I should have taken that oppurtunity to get her to get me and autograph haha.

[JohnsMom1206]

When did he perform this?

[JohnsMom1206]

You're an asshole. Anthony Rapp is wonderful. Go bury your head, you small minded moron.

[pplwhohaterentsuck]

your an asshole anthony rapp is fuckin amazin and if you hate him that much why are you wastin ur time watchin him. anthony rapp is the shiz!!

[brookecullen456]

ur a bastard. Thats shit right thee. He's freakin amazing. And Rent IS a BIG deal. God. why are you wasting ur time watching him, then. Asshole.

[stickdudette]

F OFF! your just jealouse because your not freaking famous and loved by so many people, cuz this is an amazing man who has dealed with a lot and has more of a life and career than you ever will. If you have a problem w/ the movie, don't watch it asshole

[stickdudette]

that was supposed to be under bongzilla83!!! sry

[broadwaybabi91]

Wow, honestly. I'm sure, by your name, that you're the kind of person who considers people screaming music and women faking orgasms to be movies. So, why don't you do us all a favor and stick to looking up videos that are "good" by your standards and leave the rest of the world alone.

[southparkninja]

AA-MEN!!

[kellylove85]

Your describing the Characters, not the Actor.

[snl891]

What the hell???

I really shouldn't even be responding to such a crude, uncalled for comment but it really offends me because Anthony Rapp happens to seem like a truly incredible person. So lay off the unwarrented, disgusting, bigoted name calling would you?

[JmB8207]

Wow thatts rude. Anthony seems like one of the nicest guys out there, so why don't you watch your mouth?

[xmwt7]

You dipshit.

[xmwt7]

In response to guitar wolf

[HorseCrazyLiza]

I saw him just today, in Boston, and he said the same thing! And JCailian, they're on tour, not on Broadway. It's closing on Broadway (just in NYC) on June 1.
