Light My Candle - RENT Movie

[Ugandangirl]

"She died"

[SxillZ]

So very sexy the way she sings "would you light my candle" who knows, maybe its just because she is Rosario Dawson :). Love the movie!

[Madiandgigi]

LOOOOOOOVEE this song

[pigfarts36]

"I was born to be bad"

"I once was born to be bad...I used to shiver like that"

"I have no heat I told you"

"I used to sweat"

"I got a cold"

"I used to be a junkie"

I love how he relates to her and tries to help her.

[pigfarts36]

"You look familiar"

"Like your dead girlfriend"

Lol.

[herfavoritehate89]

I never get why he took her stash. If he's clean, did he just not want her to have it?

[forevermusical133]

@herfavoritehate89 yeah, he didn't want her to die like his old girlfriend did from drugs. 

[SxillZ]

@forevermusical133 actually the girlfriend committed suicide, after she found out she has aids. Roger also has aids in the movie, hence "One Song Glory."

[pigfarts36]

@herfavoritehate89 Yeah, pretty much. he wants her to get clean b/c he and his gf used to be addicted and she ended up dead.

[wilderni]

@herfavoritehate89 Yeah he was trying to take it from her.

[carolyncarnage]

Love this song, but this entire playlist is in the wrong key :/

[SSAEmComer23]

"they used to tie you up!"

"it's a living."

Love this movie -3

[shiftergoddessathena]

"I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs!" Oh, smooth, Roger.

[SDPerforming2011]

hey, check out our version on my page!!! cheers

[babycakeslovesya]

He's a lot better then bon jovi

[ASweetHeart123]

i love them and this song

[jackieisamonsterr]

"You look familiar-"

"Like your dead girlfriend." - Favorite part. :)

[chamzila]

This song an movie hits home on so many levels for me an my ex were heroin addicts but glad to say I've been clean for over 2 years wish i could say the same about her

[CrazyGood88]

Roger and Mimi. Still my faves in Rent.

[internetisaddicting]

@CrazyGood88 I like mark he's forever alone.

[CrazyGood88]

@internetisaddicting yea. but Mark always will have a "candle" for Maureen so any other girl for him is ruined. IMO

[AndreaxPerez]

i love how she sings in this song :)

[MellsyBaby]

@Markianna12 He wanted to keep it from her. Cause in between Out tonight and Another day She offers it to him before kissing him, causing him to reject her.

[markianna12]

Why did Roger want Mimis stash and tried to hide it in his bak pocket? did he want to shoot it up his arm or keep it from her? im confussed

[ludacrisgirl1]

this is soo cute my fave movie :)

[jlbs11]

I LOVE THIS MIMI!

[MsSkimbleshanks]

I love Roger in this! The way he looks at her and the way he says "you're shivering" and "can you make it" sounds so concerned and protective of her its so adorable. The way he looks at her is one of the most genuine gazes I have ever seen. so in love with him <3

[MuffinQueenLa]

"I'm NINETEEN! and old for my age." It's my 19th birthday, and I have that part of this song stuck in my head.

[SuperHappieness]

watch?v=_N_u4Ea91jM LOL watch this! :D



[Nyehify]

@purpleskyl Mimi's supposed to be black mixed with a spanish

[hippychick209]

oh wow I jus realized she grabbed the packet from his pants right now

[misscanadarain]

he looks and sounds like jon bon jovy. cool

[laughlivelove0028]

I dont mind this Mimi but Will Chase is 10 times better

[SDPerforming2011]

check mine and my friends version out please :) on my page cheers.

[antonioerigon]

Roger: "You remind me of someone dead... "

So sweet and romantic...  :D

[dEzZyDoOdLe]

I didn't say she wasn't lol she's damn sexy

[Rafavampire96]

god i love mimi <3

[arabsboo12]

@lglover4life PLEASE GO HANG YOUR SELF CAUSE YOU SOUND STUPiD !

P L E A S E !

[paigedaniels19191]

mmmmm roger

[dEzZyDoOdLe]

"Feels to dam much like home when the Spanish babies, cry" - Out tonight. Mimi is latina, and since it is New York. I'm narrowing it down to Puerto Rican.

[Javjean]

@dEzZyDoOdLe

She's cute either way.

[AMVslowking]

I think I like velvet von black better

[jpgrfm88]

Mimi: (leans over) "I like it between my-"

Roger: FINGERS!!! I figured...

XD gets me every time!

[will17051]

the live broadway version so much better

[izzybby597]

R.I.P Mimi <3

[RaNdOmFrEaKz4LiFe]

@izzybby597 wut do you mean by r.i.p? did she die or something?

[DukeandRocketsFan]

@izzybby597 what? Mimi didn't die.

[ginnyluna182]

@izzybby597 well, she died, but comes back 2 life, although, La Boheme, the french opera tht rents based off of, Mimi does die, & thts y lots of people HATED ths movie b/c she didnt die, as far as we know

[MoMoRocks111]

@izzybby597 .....Mimi never died 0.o

[euterpemuseful]

"You're hair in the moonlight"

Damn, even when Roger's confused he said the sweetest thing!

[MysteryWings1202]

I knock three times now :D

[MoMoRocks111]

@MysteryWings1202 OMG. SAME.

[MainxStreamxDaydream]

she does have a nice ass

[mizzike2006]

Im just born to bad!!!

[sarahdbd1]

The first time I saw Rent, I liked it, but didn't understand it fully. Now that I'm older, and have gone through a few life experiences of my own, I understand it completely, and respect it a lot more now too.

[MrLinkyXD]

"It's Dripping, I like it between my..."

"Fingers!"

[crownedkitty67]

@MrLinkyXD and of course there's 69 likes *eye roll*

[purplepigstudios]

@sharpiepencil567 He's complimenting her, saying she looks young enough to get a fresh start and not be a stripper her whole life.

[sarahdbd1]

@purplepigstudios and get off the heroin.

[Kari166]

It annoys me whenever I bring up how there are two sides to Mimi. The stripper "hardcore" side, and her sweet side.

And people just blow off the latter. "OMGG NU MIMI IZ AH BADASS STRIPPAH SHES NOT SWEET!!!!11!"

Yes, she's a drug addicted, S&M stripper, but there's more to her personality than that. Am I right? For example, she tried to help Roger get past his grief over April, and she comforted Angel when he was in the hospital, among other things.

Or am I completely wrong?

[Druid0716]

@Kari166 AGREE



[MusiCareer]

@Kari166 Ofc Ur not wrong, I've seen the Film like 15 times now ( I just LOVE it xD) And when U pay more attention to Mimi U'll see she doesn't enjoy her life a tiny bit. She's an addict and she does the dancing bcus she's desperately in need of money :P So.. Just a 100% sweet :) Also after she breaks up with Roger and has a relationship with.. with.. o gawd O.o I can't come up with his name.. ..Ben! I believe xD She's really depressed and still in love with Roger. Hope this is usefull ;)

[km18082012]

@Kari166 You are completely right about Mimi. She is actually a really nice/good person just misguided if you remember she is only 19 and there is no mention of family, she is just trying to make a life and money for herself. She probably take's drugs to manage her job as it's very demanding. So you are completely right on your analysis of her character. Or in my opinion at least.

[tamarajoy06]

@km18082012 actually she mentions her father in this song she says: your hands are big like my fathers and in out tonight she mentions her home and the mexican babies 

[MiseryDamon666]

@Kari166 Nope you're absolutely right! I love Mimi for that.

[i69edurmum]

@Kari166 Don't over react

[Maeve1331]

I'm singing this for my audition for "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying." We can't sing anything from the actual musical we are doing.

[Kari166]

@Maeve1331, is How To Succeed a rock musical? Is the music in that show similar to this one?

If not, you should choose a different song.

[Maeve1331]

@Kari166 It's kinda like Rent. Not really rock. Showtunes.

[ginnyluna182]

@Maeve1331 ooooh i saw tht 4 my bday! thn a couple wks ltr, i got Daniel's autograph! I was frozen wth such a big smile It wouldnt come off!

[Suaru22]

@gammamuelepsilon she picked up a bottle cap because it was bright white - the color of the stash she was looking for - and threw it back down when she discovered that the cap wasn't the stash.

[XxYunaMokoxX]

YES! Shes black! I want this part soooooooooooooooo bad

[enchantedtomeetyoux]

@XxYunaMokoxX She's hispanic. Even though Mimi is supposed to be hispanic, I've seen girls who aren't hispanic play the role. In fact the I think the girl who played Mimi in the filmed live on broadway version was black. Race usually isn't usually a big deal for who ever plays Mimi it seems like.

[Mylasia04xD]

@XxYunaMokoxX mimi isn't black?

[purpleskyl]

@Mylasia04xD shes black and something else

[Javjean]

If I were Roger the song would have stopped at "the best ass". "Definitely, wanna do it?"

[dallasguts77]

cutest song ever :)

[EverDarkEden]

How can 72 people dislike this??? o.O It's pure amazingness!!

[RandomKiddRayRay]

72 people didn't want to light her candle, don't think she has the best ass below 14th street and don't want to dance with her father

[1sbujold]

she has a beautiful voice.

[1039SmthdOutSlpyHrs]

Love this song. Don't get the whole spike lee thing though...explain?

[arielzbkny]

@1039SmthdOutSlpyHrs spike lee is a director and it was nightime so if he was shooting a movie at night he would need lots of light.

[zTEDDYBEARz]

at 2:08, what does Mimi throw under the table?Also, does Roger take her drugs to use them, or prevent her from using them? Because I thought he had stopped by that point.

[gammamuepsilon]

@zTEDDYBEARz He wanted to prevent her from using them.  As for what she throws under the table...I have no idea.

[campTLCo27]

the first time i watched this movie i was 5. my parents showed it to me!! i have loved it ever since!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[arrreocopterrr]

We did this show at my high school and I have loved it ever since :) roger is my favorite «3

[BrickGrease]

dude, she's hot

[nobodysgirl2010]

Is it just me, or does it sound a little higher than normal o.o?

[kikiransom]

the lights are out in the building, mimi is walking up the stairs with a lit candle...sees roger and blows it out and away we go. not a drug reference. and besides since when do broke nineteen year old junkies share drugs

[stepheyrocks]

@kikiransom lmfao nineteen year old junkies don't share...I would know. I know too many junkies :) actually my 30 something year old junkie cousin is in Rehab

[sweetiegrl41]

I didnt recognize you without the handcuffs

*Mimi is like 0_0*

WOULD U LIGHT MY CANDLE PLZ? Roger you stalker !

[SophiaofOz]

Amazing -3

[misseclectica]

72 people didn't have any matches.

[agarciababy18]

only Mimi can get away with saying "like your dead girlfriend." :P

[mexxylewinski]

[ginnyluna182]

@fnwhacked I dont thnk Light the Candle is a drug reference, I believe its 2 flirt w/ Roger

[ginnyluna182]

OKAY PEOPLE! Roger is a guy! it doesn't mean he's naughty, it means he's like othr guys, my god, its not abnormal

[CherryBomb0420]

Roger: The wax its dripping....

Mimi: I like it between my...

Roger: Fingers, I figured....

[an0nm0us]

[WeBlowTheyBang]

Me and my friend sing this song all of the time. She's always Mimi and I am Roger... Best part is... We're both chicks! Figured it'd be in the spirit of Rent. Yay!

[wndybrrd]

[booboobitxch666]

I love how smoky and raspy her voice is

[CassChann]

I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs >3

[HateOnLove]

best way to meet the love of your life .... EVER ..... EEEVVVVVVEEEERRRR .

[bobbiisaid]

just saying when he said "oh candy bar wrapper" that was he stash :)

[anjumstar3]

Okay, I would just like to say that it's 'between my... legs' not 'between my... boobs' Why you ask? I know that she brings his hand to her breasts, but that only happens in the movie version. Not on stage. Besides, who say's between my boobs? You always say between my legs. Duh! <3 this song, though!

[booboobitxch666]

"You wanna dance?"

"With you?"

"No... with my father"

lol I love this movie

"- What are you starring at?

- Nothing, your hair in the moonlight..."

Thanks for making my heart melt Roger.

[amylucio]

I'd love to be Mimi, I wonder if I could pull her off in a play

[sweetiepie1352]

@amylucio I would too. I'd love to do it at my school, but, sadly, it's not appropriate for school. :(

[666kalika]

Fire hazard, matchbox above candle

[MzLovelyLola]

i luv dis movie cant stop repeatin it

[4ashleyyyy]

I like how he says "you look like you're sixteen", but then he ends up dating her. Hahaha.

[AngelWingz9]

Yall..its not between her legs...its her chest..hence she puts his hand between her clevage

[MzLovelyLola]

@AngelWingz9

Yea , I Just Notice That

[TheHorrorCompany]

*inserts lyrics from the song and instantly becomes top comment*

[MomoClickClickBoom]

roger: yes mimi go right ahead and burst into my house thank you for asking for permission

[Kyokitty24]

How does Roger know that the people at The Cat Scratch Club used hand cuffs on her and tied her up~? naughty naughty Roger xD

[BlazedHearts]

@Kyokitty24 Dear god.

The whole song he is trying to remember who she is. When she tells him where she works, he suddenly remembers where he had seen her.

Obviously he had been to the club and seen her. That was the idea.

[Herek00]

@BlazedHearts Yah, but if you think about it, the point is that Roger's watched a "dance performance" involving rope and hand cuffs at a club...

[RaNdOmFrEaKz4LiFe]

@Kyokitty24 well he did say "when he used to go out and about"

[ginnyluna182]

@Kyokitty24 really, thts wht u say, well he had to do something b4 he was stuck inside w/ AIDS trying 2 write a bittersweet song

[XTinaXDruggie]

@Kyokitty24 he probably used to go! lol :)

[jerkygirlx]

[CieraBland1234]

[loufreck]

@davydidntsay she takes his hand, and brings it to her cleavage lol

[lovingkimmy99]

It's so hard 2 play a character like Mimi and she does it perfectly

[AutumnsEatingMyHair]

I like the sexual qualities Renee portrays better. :/

[technoMeFy]

Rosario Dawson!!!! forever!!!!!! wohooo!!!

[TjEatsCookies]
