People who are hating don't realize how hard it is to jump, act, sing, dancing, twerk and be all round sexy while STILL looking fit as holy hell. Muggles.
I know this is old but I 100% agree; so many different skills going on here. Not to mention how dangerous a lot of the things she is doing physically is whilst still singing and acting at the same time
Seriously! I think Rosario’s voice was the best for the role - it has that sort of raspy rock sound - but Renee’s voice is arguably the most powerful and well-trained.
this performance is actually insane. this a true example of a triple threat. comparing renee's mimi out tonight performance to vanessa's makes you realize how freaking talented renee is.
I agree, but you do also have to remember that this was filmed in multiple parts. Some of it was the closeups and some of it was the live performance in front of the crowd. She is my favorite Mimi as well, but keep that in mind. They made sure it was perfect.

HOW DOES SHE SING WHILE FLYING AROUND LIKE THAT HOW DOES SHE NOT FALL OFF??? HOW DOES SHE CATCH HER BREATH??? HOW DOES SHE NOT GET DIZZY????? AND SHES UPSIDE DOWN?????? AND SHE SOUNDS PERFECT AND LOOKS INCREDIBLE AND ITS LIKE NOT AWKWARD AT ALL LIKE SHES SLAYING k can I just be renee
People need to realize you can't compare Rosario to Renee or any other Mimi on Broadway because live theatre and film are completely different formats. Of course this performance is going to be way different than the movie. No joke. You can't compare them unless you've seen them both in similar formats.
😂😂😂 who the heck compares threatre to film. With film you can do retakes. With threatre you can't and also in the film they are lip syncing and aren't really singing like in live threatre
Grofflin She's ripped holy fuck. She is life goals in human form, perfect body, perfect voice. I'm pretty sure she's an angel disguised as a stage actress.
I don't get why people are comparing Renee with Rosario 😐 I think both are great! Renee is definitely more animated and energetic, and while some may say it's overkill, we need to remember that this is a LIVE MUSICAL, meaning no fancy effects - she has to make up for that somehow
Two things. 1. Of course, her little stint upside down is awesome. But I’m more impressed at her core strength staying upright and balanced when she’s standing on the high railings. And looks totally fearless doing it. 2. Her little run on ‘chrome’ still gives me life 10 years later. 😍
I love how she gestures towards her "scars"...so soulful, so powerful. And how she rocks each note while maintaining her balance on a skinny pole high above the stage---amazing!
Just saw Renee in Hamilton and got to meet her at the stage door after the show. I'm such a huge fan and have been ever since seeing her in this so many years ago. Gotta love her!
Can we just appreciate Renee’s ability to keep a steady non shaken voice while moving around so fast like that?? Like HOW DOES ONE NOT LOSE BREATH!! I start panting after walking like five minutes
Funniest story. We're doing a musical theatre class and came up with a script. I chose this for a solo, in the context of the character trying to convince her friend to go out to have fun for the night. Girl playing the friend wanted to solo "Burn" from Hamilton, so my character name was changed to Angelica to fit lyrics from the song "Burn". I came to this video, saw the comments, googled, and found out she played Angelica in Hamilton. What are the odds??! 😂😂😂
People need to stop talking about Hamilton on this video. Renee did so much more before Hamilton. You shouldn't define her by one role. Jeez people and it's ROGER. Not Rodger.
Claudia Ciempka Yeah. I don’t like half of the Hamilton fandom. It’s so fucking toxic and it ruins the show. And when they see a cast member out of Hamilton, they’re just saying that it’s the same character from Hamilton. I hate it when people do that!!!! People need to realise that Hamilton isn’t the only musical to exist!
Sophie Andrew omlll that’s so true- like totally respect Hamilton, but the fandom is full of 12 year olds- that put historical characters in ships and take it way out of contact. They need to accept that the actors aren’t actually the characters they play and don’t need to be referenced to their one role in Hamilton to their other roles
When she sings “your on the line with a feline, of Avenue b” I go crazzzzyyy!!!! Like she sings that part soooo unique and powerful and just amazing! The drop of her voice on feline and the tone she has singing Avenue like pure gold
OKAY the lack of people cheering in amazement at 1:34 is disturbing - do you realize how hard it is to go full spread eagle oN A RAIL? IN SKINTIGHT LEATHER LEGGINGS? WHILE SINGING? AND ACTING LIKE YOU’RE NOT AFRAID OF FALLING BACK OR SLIDING FORWARD? nah, she hit that and took my breath away
i don't see why anyone could dislike this performance. Everyone who does is missing one major factor, she's all over the place. she does more kicks and jumps and things than any other mimi in history, and she's not out of breath. She's not flat or sharp or dropping out words and notes she hit everything while being all over the place. Masculine? i totally disagree. This number is all about sex, she portrays how rough it can be. I guess i'm biased because i loved her in OLTL, but i loved it!!!
+Petr Loučka yeah it wouldnt be allowed on playback in live theatre especially in a play this big. honestly if you asked a musical theatre person if they mimed a song they would be pissed
Rosario’s voice, seriously? No shade to Dawson but you’re comparing a studio version to a live version... she got to stand still in a studio with headphones on and sing it as many times as she needed to and punch in every little part until it was exactly right. Anyway in terms of character I think Daphne’s voice suits Mimi the best anyway. It has that fat contralto timbre, giving Mimi the rough edge she should rightfully have
My favourite mimi :) people say Daphne’s is more authentic but mimi is a freakin dancer for a living it makes sense she would be a good performer and have some rhythm it is a musical so she is supposed to be able to sing 😂 I like them both in different ways though
