    This is GREAT quality for a 2001 bootleg!

    This is AMAZING. this is a hard song to act out because you have to look emotionless and numb while still portraying so much emotion.

    This is honest to God some of the best acting I've seen in a song ever.

    This should be required study for anyone who would attempt the role. The flourishes she interpolates at the ends of the phrases are exquisite.

      The flourishes are beautifully sung but I find them distracting. Good for a pop song but not an acting performance.

    This is beautiful. It hurts my heart when people say that Anna Kendrick's version is the best. I mean, perception is subjective but, like, really?

      @juleswiegand 8 лет назад +33

      +alleleism you are right - her voice .. it's beautiful. I think Lea Solange and Anna Kendrick manage to get more emotion ... and i actually end up feeling broken along with them. Whereas Lauren's take on the character.. i sense more bitterness and anger. Different takes on the character... Lea and Anna devastate and think that is why so many attribute it as the best. I am more moved as well. It's difficult to sympathize with Jamie.

      good point - a lot of versions of this songs emphasize the, "hurting," while Kennedy comes off a little more like someone who was unhappy in the marriage and knew she was unhappy, but wasn't quite ready to move on. Both valid choices, and lots of great voices to choose from.

    I like this more than Lea Salonga's rendition. Though Lea's rendition is also good but i prefer this simply because I like the way the song was delivered and acted. What so nice about Lea is that she has this beautiful voice that would make any song she sings (songs that fit her instrument) sounds delightful.

      i feel as if this version portrays more bitterness and anger while lea's version is all about sadness and hurt. its about perception.

      Although Lauren originated the role, she chose not to continue with the show, opting instead to do South Pacific in London, and thus is not on the Original Cast Recording.

    Jamie is over and Jamie is gone
    Jamie's decided it's time to move on
    Jamie has new dreams he's building upon
    And I'm still hurting
    Jamie arrived at the end of the line
    Jamie's convinced that the problems are mine
    Jamie is probably feeling just fine
    And I'm still hurting
    What about lies, Jamie?
    What about things
    That you swore to be true
    What about you, Jamie
    What about you
    Jamie is sure something wonderful died
    Jamie decides it's his right to decide
    Jamie's got secrets he doesn't confide
    And I'm still hurting
    Go and hide and run away
    Run away, run and find something better
    Go and ride the sun away
    Run away like it's simple
    Like it's right...
    Give me a day, Jamie
    Bring back the lies
    Hang them back on the…
