Why am I only seeing this now??

I vividly remember seeing this for the first time in 2006. it was one the first videos I watched on KZbin. and I could NOT stop rewatching it. I remember feeling this was one of the most beautiful things I'd seen/heard. still do!

love that live version, she sounds so vulnerable and strong, lovely

she is so magical

Mike Haber Oh yes I can't wait till November 5th. I've got my tickets. 6th row center orchestra at the national. I may wet my pants! This will be my first in person Idina performance and since I missed the original Rent cast by about a year, I am so looking forward to Idina and Anthony on stage again. RENT was life changing when I heard the album while doing a tech day on a production of Godspell in "95. When I heard it I thought this is the best thing I've heard. And Idina stood out the most.

This is just so raw. It's not perfect but it doesn't matter. The emotions that come through her voice are just chilling. She has earned and deserved the title of diva.

This really shows the complexities of Idina's voice. It's really kind of amazing. Jonathon Larson didn't make one mistake in any of the casting choices. He created stars. Idina's shines the brightest.

oh i have just been introduced to her by a new FB friend - she reminds me of Nicolette Larson with soul...lovely...

Amazing!! And I love that dress!!! I love Idina!!

sheee have so much souul and passion Great from 0:00 to 5:52

I swear I was having heart palpitations when watching this. Her emotion and the emotion she made me have was overwhelming.

Ever since I discovered Mrs. Menzel in the movie version of RENT, I've been in awe. We love you Idina!

oh Idina!

in 2000

This song is so amazing...Its funny when I first heard this song the person I immediately thought of was Elphaba from Wicked...This song should be Elphaba's anthem and its just funny that the creater of Elphaba is singing this song! I love Idina! Hope to get to meet her at the Tonys! *fingers Crossed* lol

I agree with the comment below mine! She sings this so beautifully, and with a lot of passion. I think the dress is pretty!

So much passion.. she is sooo amazing.

she's so young!

well she should she was the original mimi

I'm a relatively new fan of Idina and have not yet been lucky enough to see her live, but seeing this performance makes me want to all the more. This is the first time I've heard that song and her performance here has completely blown me away; it's one of the most passionate and emotional performances I've ever seen and she sounds fantastic! Just incredible, definitely favourited! Does anyone know when this was?

She isn't Mimi...She was Maureen

o ok. sorry :)

She doesn't play Mimi she plays Maureen

oh, found out she is mimi! :) she rules !

this is great. the song and the girl kind of remembers me of rent the music/movie. she makes me think off the character mimi. :)

god! this woman is amazing! LOVE HER!!!

i love her.

look her movements are part of the song there for effect

Lol :$.

Agreed. Just like everyone is entitled to their opinion, my opinion is to disagree with yours. You should not be offended by that.

Yes, anytime you sing or act on stage you must be aware of your movements. I am completely aware of this. I am a second year Theatre stream University student. However, this is meant for the sole purpose of being a song. Not musical theatre. Her movements were not distracting. That's the main issue. When movements become distracting, then it becomes a problem, however, what you are seeing is not distraction. You are seeing passion sir. The type of passion that makes performances worth watching.

LiveandLoveLife you are aware that she is not acting a role here correct? She is singing a song, as a singer.

LOL. She's all emotional toward the end of the song and then when she's done, "Well, how'd you guys like it? :)" *bounce away*

Movin n groovin around means she's into the song. :D Go Idina
