Youth Song from "Rent" at theToronto Candlelight AIDS Vigil

[lindsaygoddammit]

love!



[HIVgirl1]

I remember being in this crowd and, quite honestly, it beat seeing Bill Gates and Bill Clinton, even Richard Gere, at the conference! This moment gave me goosebumps and made me cry. These young performers have no idea what it meant to the people in the crowd. Justin Nozuka was awesome but all of them were FANTASTIC. Keep watching it over and over.

Rent was written to raise awareness yet schools prevent us from learning about aids in more than 70% of schools. My school only tells us its a sexually transmitted disease. They refuse to explain how it could come from blood banks or a women having it and giving birth.

[Merryn13]

lol well I don't think this did them justice... the weren't mic'd very well.

[PrinceWilliam2010]

OMG....that's Justin Nozuka

[Newsstringertv]

This song hits home , this is what I felt when I found out I had AIDS

[xWickedxRentx]

[dragondrawinggirl]

[mcrloveandhate92]

[blackandwhitewords]

i don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but either way it's justin nozuka.

[mandycandy0909]

Isnt that Henry?

by Justin

ive watched this so many times but never noticed him:P

you guys did an amazing job

[roglovesbroadway]

this is a performing arts school singing?

it was okay but i wasnt that impressed, there is no blend whatsoever and itsa little off key

the first soloist wasa little off

and you can hear individuals a little off key, especially a girl in seasons of love

i dont believe these are the strongest singers a this school

the guy in the blue is awesome though

im sure there are some great performers i think you just need to work on tuneing

[phillieboy]

The blend wasn't right because only like, 7 of us had mics, and the rest had to just sing without.

[xxbutterscotch1234xx]

roglovesbroadway, i fully agree with your criticism

good but not impressed

[hippopotomussss]

who was the guy in the blue singing life support?

[phillieboy]

that would be meee!

[hippopotomussss]

ur really good:DD

[fofob]

i've heard this group perform this same number many times and they can deffinitely do much better perfermances. im not saying this was bad but they can do better!

[tarynhuyer]

calla's pretty...

[IdinaGrl101]

Nice song choice! Will I? from Rent! This reminds me of Jonathan! And it also gives me shivers up and down my spine! Thank you Jonathan for creating such a musical that touched the harts of every person that heard/hears your wonderful music! R.I.P. Jonathan Larson- Feb.4, 1960- Jan. 25, 1996.

You will always be remembered for living your life in love!

[bigthinkers]

this was... bad. sorry!

[amanduhh22]

Justin's AMAZING in this video! his voice is so...smoothe and nice? haha I don't know if that makes sense to describe his voice, but yeah, it's amazing!

they all did a great job

[brookecole22]

this was pretty good, yes there were a few flat singers in it, but still, they were probably nervous being infront of all of those people.

& The guy who came on first singing the solo was good looking :-) and a good singer!!

and if it says AIDS in the title, and you're going to critisise people with it, don't come on here and say rude things like that!

[redpheonix06]

yah.. the first singer to come on is Justin Nozuka.. he actually has a CD out and it sounds just as amazing as his performance that night did ^^ (check him out!!)lol

[Brettlad23]

it has to be admitted there are a few flat singers in there, and the dodgy sound did nothing to help matters! bloody good performance otherwise.

[BellaCullenxxo]

[Mealz1042]

[rainbowbrite24]

hmmm OMG! I was expecting better for Wex CI's competition...Wex does and always will rule! They would have done way better! This is soooo flat.

[clairebear999]

That's pretty emotional, but very good.

[Spoork92]

[elfiyero]

do all the people who are singing have HIV/AIDS?

[phillieboy]

No.

I sang. Our school's musical theatre company was asked to close the ceremony with our RENT medley. It was such a great/moving experience. I loved every second of it.

[linku11]

gave me chills.
