Both singers sound great, but it feels casual, like they're playing into the vibe of the song. Even though it's jazzy and belty, they still mean what they're saying.
considering for how many props you DIDNT have to use, I'm surprised the acting got as good as it was. I mean, in the movie, Maureen had a table, a coat and pool sticks. you guys didnt have much of anything to use. I thought it was great personally. You guys got a lot of harmony going together but you should try to make it into your own ya know? Dont try to make it EXACTLY like the movie. Change a note here and there, maybe add in another lyric. Above all, it rocked though =] keep singing!
Changing lyrics is wrong and disrespectful to the composer/lyricist, in this case Jonathan Larson.
In the stage show they don't have props either and the professional actors do just fine. These fine performers certainly handled themselves as professionals.
I feel as though these are good voices, but is it necessary to vocally transcribe every single note that was in the movie? No creativity what-so-ever in this performance...
With the riffs that were in the movie version? Incorrect. And regardless of how a composer wrote it, there is a thing called interpretation that sets apart good singers from outstanding performers. Not knocking the voices here...they're great. Just saying...sounds just like the movie and it's not impressive.
@Sagerious I hardly think you can call it a "crappy movie" considering that 95% of the cast of the movie are the original cast from the broadway performance...
Secret to this song: the hips. The singing was good, but this song isn't anything without people playing lesbians bumping their hips from time-to-time. =3
they do NOT look 10 & 11 !

A little advice 1. you shouldn't talk during a performance or a recording for that matter. 2. you need a tripod

Good voices, but the performance was on the lame side. You don't need props to perform this song with the tension and energy it's meant to have.

I hate it when people call Rent a "Movie"
It was definitely a great musical before it was a crappy movie.
Sagerious 3 years ago 13
My point exactly. The musical transcription from the original musical is completely different than what the actors in the movie version did.
Notice how I said "movie version"...
beltthatmess 3 years ago
Actually lol, it's the same.
Listen to both :D
Sagerious 3 years ago
You've got to be joking. The idea is generally the same...the words, main melodic line, etc...the performances are not.
Over it.
beltthatmess 3 years ago
Who cares?
They aren't professionals, they were just performing a damn song! Who cares if they are singing how the song was written!
All that really matters is that they did a good job!! Case Closed..
Period.
