ms_jc04 nice, I do love Renee but she just seems to...perfect for the role (if that makes sense) I feel like Rent is a very realistic musical with realistic characters and I don’t think Mimi should sound so professional if she’s just an average 19 year old girl.
Daphne is the best. Nobody else is as raw as her. Remember, late 90's. She was supposed to sound like Courtney Love- Liz Phair - Pj Harvey combined kind of a thing. Also, remember: as glamorous as the different versions of RENT has made us believe, the original set up was in a HORRIBLE PLACE, where the character found beauty among their companionship. But if it weren't by this friendship, their lives would be unbearable. Look at homeless people: for many they are the trash of society. Being and HIV positive and drug addict stripper, Mimi's life, appearance and voice is not what we think it could be. I've read Daphne Rubi-Vega was a showstopper every time she sang this.
I have three Mimi favorites Rosario Dawson Vanessa Hudgens and Tinashe The list is in no particular order I do not want to see any nasty comments this is my opinion please respect it if you can not write nice comments write nothing at all
@@sorrynotsorry6 my list is not a top three list. My list have no order. And I have to add When I heard Without You with Renée Elise Goldsberry, I have to add her among my favorite Mimi
Rosario Dawsonawson and Tamyra Gray are my favorites. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the original Mimi or Renée's Mimi. I feel like Renée would have done better as Joann or Maureen. She's a great actor, but just didn't fit Mimi's character for me.
Renée is actually my favorite Mimi, but Rosario is my second favorite! She and Daphne ARE Mimi to me. I also liked Jung Sun-Ah, Choi Jung-Won and Tamyra.
@@sorrynotsorry6 Cool. I think Renée done really good. I just personally don't think she fit the role. It has nothing to do with her voice or acting, as she killed it. To me she's just not Mimi. However, she killed the role and I can see why people love her as Mimi. As for Daphne, her voice just isn't for me. She's really good, and I can see why she was chosen. I just personally am not a fan of her voice. However, her acting and enthusiasm more than makes up for it.
Part 2 right here: ua-cam.com/video/itWK2wNwkw0/v-deo.html
I always forget Renee Elisee Goldsberry was Mimi before she was Angelica Schyler, but she was amazing in both roles
Yep! She is my favorite Mimi. Jung Sun Ah is my favorite foreign language Mimi.
One day I will be mimi that is a promise. Ive know since 2008 I was born for this role
Renee and Rosario will always be Mimi to me
For me, Rosario and Daphne, though Renee is my favorite
I love the Korean one and Tamyra. So much control vocally during the choreography! I love Renee too
(The 1st Korean one I should say.)
@@Horselo285 Renée is my favorite and I love the Korean Mimis! Tamyra is great too
I don’t care if people think she’s raspy or looks to old, I love Daphne and she’s definitely my fav.
Daphne is the OG! We STAN HER! WHOO!
ms_jc04 yaaaasss my top 3 would be:
-Daphne
-Rosario
-Renee
@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 My top three:
1) Renee
2) Rosario/Tamyra
3) Sun-Ah/Daphne

@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 I do get where you are coming from...but vocally I like her the best though...what do you think about the others?
tho she didn’t sing live rosario dawson is the embodiment of mimi

Well said!!
This song with the choreo looks really hard.Not everyone can do all those things while singing.A challenge
I have three Mimi favorites
Rosario Dawson
Vanessa Hudgens and
Tinashe
The list is in no particular order
I do not want to see any nasty comments this is my opinion please respect it if you can not write nice comments write nothing at all
My top three are Renee, Rosario, and Sun-Ah
@@sorrynotsorry6 my list is not a top three list. My list have no order. And I have to add When I heard Without You with Renée Elise Goldsberry, I have to add her among my favorite Mimi
Tamyra gray is my favorite vocally.
I hate Daphne Ruben-Vega’s voice, but it as well as her performance as a whole has an organic quality about it that the other Mimi’s lacked
*pointing frantically to Tinashe* That's Onji from Avatar the Last Airbender in the episode when Aang went undercover at a Fire Nation school!
She was in Avatar TLAB?
@@sorrynotsorry6 yes, she voiced Onji, the girl at the Fire Nation school Aang went to
Tamyra Gray FTW!!
She was a great Mimi!
all of them sound amazing but i think my top 3 still has to be rosario, tinashe, and daphne
I wish I could find Sharon Leal! She is the best Mimi!!!
Vanessa Hudgens really took a jump from hsm
Yep...
Vanessa isnt bad but she sounds and looks like mimi in slow motion mode. Except thats just her
rosario is probably the best
Vanessa hudgens Hollywood bowl 10:18
Rosario and Daphine are two best Mimi
TINASHE WAS ALSO RLY GOOD

@@sorrynotsorry6 oh, my bad, didn't know there was a part 2
TBH I never cared for the original Mimi. I’m sorry 😬
I don't think she's bad at all but I accept your opinion. Who are your top 5s in this video?
Renee hands down. They’re all amazing but she just blows me away
Renee is my favorite. My top 5 is
Renee, Rosario, Jung Sun-Ah, Daphne, Tamyra. All of them are good though
