Perfect casting Adam Pascal is Roger. His voice is the quintessential rock voice. Rent is like nothing before or since Jonathon Larson was a genius. I love it.
Tyler Collins First heard this song in the movie, but that...my GOD! I absolutely did not see him stepping up that note AND hitting it spot on PERFECT? I was FLOORED! I actually dropped my phone!
That note at like 1:47 just sweeps me right off my feet every time. I first heard this song in the movie, and I really was not expecting that beautiful note.
Well I appear to have found the club for people who think that Adam/roger is la walking piece of smoking awesome super foxy broadway boy toy. Hello my brethren. We are a wise people
I think I've spent hours upon hours these last three days listening too rendition upon rendition of this song from too many singers and no one does it better Adam.
I like to imagine every Roger who takes that high note further has typically sang it normal and the director said normal but he was just feeling it in that moment
I know right, when I watched AIDA, I realized Adam has such a great belting voice. (I realized too I need to learn how to belt to become a better singer).
I think his singing here is the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard. A shame the rude, disgusting audience has to scream and yell over his voice. What fucking savages.
Ok número uno he is extremely extremely talented número dos he is hot as hell I wuld do dirty disgusting unspeakable things to that man número tres he will forever be the only roger número cuatro I didn't realize I was holding my breath till after the song número cinco ... I'm stunned número sies I my lord just stellar I'm a musical critic in Chicago I usually do small town stuff but occasionally Chicago broadway district and he is simply mesmerizing
it's strange..I prefer how he sings it now to the original recording. In the 96 cast recording he was a little pitchy...now he is still unprecise (well, it's impossible to be always perfect during a broadway performance...) in some points but the voice is ritcher and more edgy...i like it more :)
I'm ashamed to admit that even though I've seen rent on Broadway (not the original cast) and despite there being many many actors who have interpreted Roger since then, Adam is still my Roger and everyone else feels like impersonators
Hi I am a massive rent fan and I have been looking for a full show from the tour of Rent with the cast. Would it be okay if you private sent me the entire show?? I promise I won’t share it or upload it anywhere I just really want to watch it. Also, is it the entire show with Angel and Collins played by Justin Johnston and Michael McElroy if so I would love it please. Thank youuu :)
One song Glory One song Before I go Glory One song to leave behind Find One song One last refrain Glory From the pretty boy front man Who wasted opportunity One song He had the world at his feet Glory In the eyes of a young girl A young girl Find Glory Beyond the cheap colored lights One song Before the sun sets Glory On another empty life Time flies Time dies Glory One blaze of glory One blaze of glory Glory Find Glory In a song that rings true Truth like a blazing fire An eternal flame Find One song A song about love Glory From the soul of a young man A young man Find The one song Before the virus takes hold Glory Like a sunset One song To redeem this empty life Time flies And then, no need to endure anymore Time dies
i also think that in terms of singing technique and voice quality i prefer Will Chase, but i cant deny that Roger's role was made for Adam Pascal: his emotion and portrayal really hits the spot.
Adam has this voice that's like half rock half broadway. The clear and powerful broadway belting voice, with the little sneer and roughness of rock
He could definitely be in a band too!
So true
Perfect casting Adam Pascal is Roger. His voice is the quintessential rock voice. Rent is like nothing before or since Jonathon Larson was a genius. I love it.
Adam was definitely the best Roger, I just love how he sings with so much passion and I love his voice
Adam is beyond fantastic. That note at 1:46 was simply gorgeous. Love his voice. I have no words.
That one note gives me chills!
I swear to god his voice got better with age
@1:48 that note is already pretty high but the fact that he decided to step it up a notch he is soooo incredible! no words
+sarakathleen Yea I def didn't see that coming and it was crystal clear. sheesh.
Tyler Collins First heard this song in the movie, but that...my GOD! I absolutely did not see him stepping up that note AND hitting it spot on PERFECT? I was FLOORED! I actually dropped my phone!
Erica Beumel I know, right? Honestly I wish they let Adam sing on set for the film, cause he would've just done this and floored every theatre.
Me before seeing this:
"Meh, I prefer Will Chase as Roger"
Me @ 1:46
*what the balls*
LITERALLY ME
Sascha Houpt ME TO
That Bb4 'glory' is impressive man
That note at like 1:47 just sweeps me right off my feet every time. I first heard this song in the movie, and I really was not expecting that beautiful note.
Coming back to this after watching 2019 videos of him and...wow. He ages like a fine wine, both physically and vocally.
Thank God for this tour...unless the OBC got back together, there will never be a RENT cast as good as this one. Can't believe it was a tour!
The best Roger that there ever was. Ever will be. The first.
Whoever thought to record this thank you from the bottom of my heart
i'm in love with adam pascal..he is AMAZING, everytime i see RENT or watch videos i get goose bumps..incredible
Well I appear to have found the club for people who think that Adam/roger is la walking piece of smoking awesome super foxy broadway boy toy. Hello my brethren. We are a wise people
I get goosebumps listening to him singing this wow
Once you’ve seen Adam in the role, that’s just it🌹. And he just gets better with age!
His voice is amazing! I always get chills when I hear him sing this song.
He IS Roger. I love this so much. I wish they would have recorded the tour him and Anthony rapp were in.
theres none that can be roger but Adam Pascal, He is amazing
Oh my god, this video is pure perfection! The band behind him sounds so fantastic
I'm crying. HE'S Roger... no doubt. He's just the best..he's perfect.
this man is amazing and doesn't age at all
I think I've spent hours upon hours these last three days listening too rendition upon rendition of this song from too many singers and no one does it better Adam.
This fucking guy.
He is a phenomenal singer!!
Oh the things I would do to this man... his voice is incredible!
I'll never forget seeing the original cast in 96.....slayed. Adam was beautiful in this role.
I'm so damn jealous
I saw the reunion tour with the original cast, which was incredible.
1:48 He went UP with that!? As if that note wasn't high enough already... what a guy.
Loads of respect! The OG killin it!!
His voice is only getting better with age, wow.
They should ask him to sing for Bon Jovi if Jon decides to call it quits
I saw this when it was in Chicago. I was thrilled to see the original cast. A once in a lifetime experience.
I feel so privileged that I saw him on this tour.
adam pascal is a great actor and have a beautiful voice also it;s a great song.
God, I love his voice.
His lovely voice!!
He has a amazing voice
He will always be the best roger
I like to imagine every Roger who takes that high note further has typically sang it normal and the director said normal but he was just feeling it in that moment
Adam Pascal is the only Roger in my eyes :D
so happy to have met him im shook
WHAT THE FUCK @ 1:46 JESUS CHRIST. I WILL HAVE YOUR CHILDREN.
Literally all over this version.
@ 1:46 DEAR LORD MAN Y U SO TALENTED
I know right, when I watched AIDA, I realized Adam has such a great belting voice. (I realized too I need to learn how to belt to become a better singer).
I think his singing here is the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard. A shame the rude, disgusting audience has to scream and yell over his voice. What fucking savages.

One song to leave behind

One song
One last refrain

From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet

In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl

Glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets

On another empty life
Time flies
Time dies

In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame

A song about love

From the soul of a young man
A young man

The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then, no need to endure anymore
Time dies
god he is amazing....why the hell did they have to kill rent?
hey :) I was wondering if you had a new trading email? I emailed the one on your site, and it said it's not a valid address xx
He's a good singer... but he's not acting in the slightest. I'm confused.
i think that Will Chase was better Roger than Adam
After hearing that note @ 1:47 !? Get outta here, dude.
i also think that in terms of singing technique and voice quality i prefer Will Chase, but i cant deny that Roger's role was made for Adam Pascal: his emotion and portrayal really hits the spot.
he might sing better than will, but the acting is just bad, if it's there at all. No emotion at all.
