Oh my. Why do people do this?

I decided to check out some of the google videos under "Rent" and a majority of them are pure crap. I selected a few for your viewing pleasure.

I know everyone has that wish someday that they could perform rent on a stage, but some people actually do it....

And then theres the people who casually sing rent when they are alone and doing the dishes or something. But some people film themselves while they are doing it....

Dont think Im mean, but come on.

this one wouldn't have been so bad if the people performing it were actually good- and if the Roger stayed in key.

The Mimi in the first vid is a bit... It's not that she's fat... her clothes just don't fit. I also like how you can hear the curtain at the beginning.

And I believe this was in a talent show of some sort. Not an amateur production of Rent. And about the second video... are people not allowed to have a little fun while they make their cupcakes?

the girl with the cupcakes made me laugh

These videos make my soul cry.

Oh i know, but i mean people try to do it for a talent show or something and yeahh...it ends up like that.

come on, you've gotta admit that even just in a comedy sence, the girl with the cupcake is a genius!

Yeah, the first vid is obviously some kind of talent show... I didn't much care for that, I guess! The Roger was definitely lacking, though I love how his microphone went out at various points of the song... An "accident"? I think not. Very Happy His timing was also a bit off in the end. The girl singing Mimi's part started out reasonably well, but towards the end she just kept getting worse and worse. And that outfit!--Definitely did not fit her well, and it was so un-Mimi. Where's the bright blue spandex? Lol.

As for the second video... It made me chuckle, and then scoff when I realized she was listening to the soundtrack, not the OBCR. But, eh, I'd say she has some potential; she looked pretty young. And she was only having some fun with her cupcakes. At any rate, I want some cupcakes now. Hehe. Mr. Green

I liked the choreography in the first one... walk stage right, walk stage left, walk center, walk stage left, etc. etc. etc....

What's really funny is I bought the tshirt he is wearing at Express...very Roger.

Those are both painful in their own ways.

I am always on youtube looking for new RENT clips (I must say- if you're bored enough, RENT in 4 minutes is worth a few laughs), and there is so much on there that is crap. I would be humiliated if I was some of the people who have put up videos on there.

Fun is fine. Putting your fun online is when it all goes down the crapper.

Aww I remember somebody posted the 4 minute thing.......but I can't find it. Would someone please post it again?

The Rent-Cupcake Girl. That's what I will call her for forever more... Shocked

But, seriously. Why would you film that?!
ShadowInTheWings

The entire RENT movie in 4 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJyTDmTIJzo&search=rent%204. Enjoy!

I think this one rates up there with "cupcake girl"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_4CnwXW39L8&search=rent

I love her facial expressions. Very Happy

Maybe cupcake girl should have sung to "Light My Candle" but instead sing "Frost My Cupcake". Razz

That is my new favorite video. Razz
ShadowInTheWings

That new one frightened me.

But I must say, the best part of "RENT in 4 minutes" is the line "come on, guys, chill." For some reason, that line sounds really funny sped up.

Another favourite is "This Ain't Boheme"- man, that one makes me laugh.
rockyrocks666

I love the way they do it so casually, as if they dont care, but you know that they're really performing their little socks off.
CYTthespian

the first one...WOW.

i've never seen two people on stage who so didn't belong there.

I agree, all that walking looks funny.

But we should cut them some slack. At times they are pretty good.

Wow. That Today for you girl...I love when she said "Angel Dumott Schunnaaaraaaadsdadagswawegkjasnv" haha

You haven't seen RENT till you've seen this.

The Santa Fe Angels make my life. They also have a cover of Another Day out there.
ShadowInTheWings

That was so painful, I just couldn't look away.

Must say, I enjoyed the Superman pose at "It's a living."
Ep-Griz-Reno

That's amazing (rent in four mins...hilarious)

....and the cupcake girl....haha...I loved when she hit higher notes she'd push her finger out like she was black...hahaha....loved it

Yeah, the accompanist guy seems to be in his own little world.

This video has long been my favorite. I love the running in place, the pointing to the moon on "your hair in the moonlight", and the banana peel stash. Plus I love the description- "It's a song about Mimi and Roger."

See! Do you think some girls could come up with something that creative? IIIIII think not! Razz

I wonder if that second girl woke up one morning and thought "I'm going to record myself singing seasons of love, WHILE icing cupcakes!"

Haha...I've seen tons of vids of people recording themselves singing RENT songs, but the cupcakes just made it so completly wierd haha. I hope she was home alone. I wouldn't want to be seen or heard doing that...which poses the question: Why the hell would she put it online??
