Excellent performance, though I had never previously heard of her. Got a little excited when Roger stepped forward and it was Adam Pascal...holy s***!!! =0D
The best Mimi I have ever seen...I wish she was in the current tour...it would be absolutely perfect with her...just...wow...she is such an amazing artist...and w/ Adam Pascal...there's just no better duo.
Broadway would be making a big mistake if they don't recognize this talent......get Tamyra in another production so she can win a Toni-you won't regret it Broadway!
The lady belongs on Broadway with her name in lights! Aside from acting and singing talents not too many people who know her as an AI contestant may know she's a terrific dancer too.
I was so mad when she was eliminated from AI, but at the same time I don't think she would have gotten all of these amazing opportunities to showcase her diverse talents if she would have won. What an artist!!!
*nods* I've been watching videos from Rent for the past few hours, and I've definitely declared Tamyra my favorite Mimi. What I would give to see her!
Saw her in '07 and she blew the roof off the Nederlader!! Loved her!! Have been a fan since AI days and just saw her in Rachel Getting Married! Best of luck with everything in your future!! Keep on belting! :)
just to add sympally amazing better than whitney in my eyes i love this girl and she should be world wide famous just blew me away i am actually speechless omg lol
i almost didn't recognize her. from american idol to this... quite a change. She's stil amazing and i'm still kind of surprised she didn't last longer in american idol. But the best of luck and wishes to her with what ever she does in her career. Great mimi by the way.
thank you for this. tamyra is a genius, an angel and brilliant artist and also a friend to me. i have had the privileg eto know here personally and be somewhat of a friend i can tell u she is absolutely as real, sincere and gioving as she potrays on stage and in film. i have the most respect for her shes my favorite singer
Love the spiked punk "Mimi" in this version...certainly a different and unexpected take on her character but fitting nonetheless. Tamyra looks and Sounds AWESOME.
Turn on the ratings option and let me rate it a 5!

She was destined for this role. Too bad, there is no Tony Award for a person that takes on a current role.
