Rent Remixed on CIN

I actually liked it a lot. The ending was just fabumazing... basically. I liked that the solos were trios and duets because it puts the community aspect back in. Before, only the two people were singled out and focus was just on them... like it was "their" song. When the song is actually about a group of friends.

But... um... are there NO hispanics or asians in England. I mean, really, people. I was just like "wtf are these blond chicks?"

Hispanics?

Umm, well, there ARE Hispanic people in London, there's probably people from every single country in the world in London (And half of them on my bus this evening...) - but no, there's not a significant Hispanic actors population. The majority of the talent pool is white - often blonde! There's a lot of black actors, a lot of mixed race, and an awful lot of pretty white middle-class blonde dancers.

There was more diversity in the 80s and early 90s, when it was a political fight to prove that minorities could make it onstage, but that's died down now, no-one cares, it's been done. The talent pool of performers is going back to being incredibly white middle-class, as they're the ones who can afford to train! Anyone who has the talent, the determination AND CAN AFFORD IT can get into the dance and drama schools, get to the auditions...

Hated it, not the people singing it. The arrangement, much prefer the "solo" version

It's ok for me, i don't like 'remixes' of things. Saying that i personally don't think it is a remix, they have just sped up the songs!

Saying that, i can't WAIT for Jessie Wallace to take over from Denise Van-Outen as Maureen. Not that i don't like Denise i just think it will be fantastic to see Jessie 'mooing'
