*Eden begins singing*
Tracie: *fans herself due to Eden’s hotness*
Me: don’t worry gurl me too
"And by the way, if I have to kiss a girl" I love Tracie!
People always complain about Tracie not getting this role sooner, but let's be honest. It's wasn't her talent as a singer or an actress that made them not choose her so many times. It was her age. She was much too young when she first auditioned. Joanne isn't supposed to be that young and it just wouldn't have worked, and she was playing a lawyer. But she got the role in the end and killed it, played it perfectly because it fit her so well and she just grew into it :) These two are just the best
Eden is the only person in the world who can play Maureen as well as Idina.
Tracie's facial expressions are amazing! Eden's voice is over the top in this video. Tracie sounds amazing also! Perfect!
lmao i LOVE Tracies reaction to Eden :D especially when Eden sings " dont u want ur girl hot!" Tracie obviously does :P great chemistry
Band fucked up big time :(
Tracie and Idina still have the BEST Maureen/Joanne chemistry.
Ben Schaeffer pffft nope.
The chemistry right here is hot.
Eden's riffs are like 😍😍😍
Fabulous ! Eden looks lovely and Tracie is her usual foxy, sexy funny self -- and great performance, it's actually a litte bittersweet to see them sing this, now that Rent has closed. Ma favourite Joanne and Maureen, and two beautiful women all around ! Thanks so much for posting.
Eden makes a better Maureen than when she plays Elphaba. I love both of their voices equally, but personally no one makes a better Maureen than Idina Menzel, at least in my opinion.
God they are so hot and beautiful and stunning and talented. I just love them. I love the Tracie-Maureen triangle. (Idina, Tracie, Eden) I don't care who is singing what if it is with them I'll love it hahaha
Eden did own this one as well. I'm use to Idina of course but Eden has her own diva strengths in RENT and Wicked. They are both awesome!
Tracie is the best Joanne, can't believe it took her so long to get the role :-D
If you're here for the first time, here's how to get the best out of this clip.
First time, watch the lady who is singing.
Second time, watch the lady who ISN'T singing.
You'll grab some excellent facial expressions.
tracie's acting
uh oh... looks like tracie stole a kiss....!
loves these two!
HOTTEST maureen/joanne ever!
It's very hard to fill Idina's shoes. But Eden does it great!!!
omg at the end they sooo kissed ! ;o look at tracie's face at the end they where kissing ;o omgoooood !
tracie thoms is so freakin cute
Tracie was BORN to do this part
These two are crazy talented----they can SING!!!! I love them
I'm amazed at how her voice never sounds less than flawless.
Most singers sound weird live, but she sounds just as amazing.
best two performers in the world on one stage!!!
wtf is going on with the band in this? someone forget their music or something??
god I love Tracie Thoms.
HOW THE HELL CAN SHE BELT SO HIGH
squeeeeeeee!
I love these two, my favorite Maureen and Joanne :)
look!! at the last part tracie KISSED her on the lips snd slap eden ass eden is like oww
that could be why eden was idina's original standby on the original wicked broadway cast... haha.
it's funny that you mention that... cause it's been 2 musicals now that she's reprised Idina, first as Elphaba in Wicked and now as Maureen in RENT. They really are similar, and both amazingly talented in their own ways. =D
like OMG i love this song!!! tracie and eden make a great duo. i wish we could see them together more often. watching this video i couldnt stop laughing at tracie's expressions while eden was singing. it was so funny!!!
They're both great! But Eden's belt is FIERCE!!!
Tracie's face at 4:20 is PRICELESS!
i want tracie's dress so bad its so cute! not so sure what the heck eden's wearing tho. its a bit too ruffley for my liking but at least it looks good on her lol
i love this cause you can tell they both get back into character when doing this song
They seem drunk as hell in this i stg
They can sing their asses off! I love it!
I don't care what ANYBODY says. BOTH Edina and Eden are AMAZING. :)
i love tracie thoms. she is so talented and absolutely gorgeous!
Tracie near the end of Eden's solo! Her expressions and mannerisms...SO FUNNY. Her gestures and stuff, oh Tracie...
By the way, does anyone else want to hear Tracie sing Aquarius from Hair as bad as I do?
They kinda incorporated the caracthers! I laughed soooo much!
I don't like comparissons, but Idina's THE best Maureen ever, and Tracie is the best Joanne!! Eden is not bad though :]
Love how in sync they are...and actually I hated Eden as Elphie, but LOVE her in this :)
Tracie is just legendary :)
i was wondering if you had any of Tracie's other performances that night??
Those two are so awesome.
tracie is such a pretty woman, why doesn't she look like this in the movie?
Mathilde Maassen she has shorter hair in the film. I don't think the cut suited her as much.
actually... if you add eden's facebook... she has this same performance but shot from a much better angle and you can TOTALLY see the kiss at the end. *winks* hope that helped!
why is this song sooooooooo gooood!?!?!?!?
tracie is the vest joanne and idina is the maureen
i never realized how much eden looks like idina
Tracieeeee. You're amazinggggg! I love you!
Tracie is the best Joanne ever in life itself her voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD
tracie thoms is such a beautiful woman.
AHH--MAY--ZING!
Thanks for putting it up.
what does tracie say before they start singing? i can't understand it :( could someone tell me, please?
IAmania289 she says, "If I have to kiss a girl ..." implying that she's glad it's Eden.
Just playing up to the crowd, like the consummate professional that she is.
Tracie's face @ 1:38....cute!!
get it, T!
Tracie is is FABULOUS!!! Love her!
They're so good! And beautiful to boot!
Love this two girls!!!
These two are freakin fantastic!!!!!
It's so weird. Joanne is so uptight and has a bit of a masculine air in the movie, but Tracie Thoms is so cute and she seems really fun loving.
really great preformance... but i think that Tracie hit that bottle to many times... she seemed a little tipsey!! lol ;)
@mewingkittycat Not just the piano. I think Eden may have come in earlier than they expected but the muscians should have adapted. She coped with it admirably.
GAHHH... amazing!
What does Tracie say after "if I had to kiss a girl.." ? There's screaming and then I just can't hear.
8 times a week
she said "if i had to kiss a girl 8 times a week" and then she does the hand motion as eden walks up in front of her
Tracie is gorgeous!
Eden is fucking fierce!!! OMG! =-0
I LOVE TRACIE SO MUCH
This is amazing!!!
that band is like so horrible. the band is fired. lololol
i think its hard to be compared to Idina all the time.. but Eden is still good..
@biggestChenofan really? damn i have always been told to spit out my gum when singing. lol
eden totally came in 2 measures early and acts like the band messed up...
@kiddoswan via Eden on Twitter Yes I'm keeping my name for stage purposes!
lol @ 4:26 Tracie slaps Edens bum & she says ow!!
eden has facebook?!?!? :O please please tell me more? lol thanks x
I am friends with her in facebook and this is the video on there
I would so be a male fan girl....if I were there too...haha...
Gum NEVER helps with singing and I would be amazed if you found a trained singer on Broadway with gum in their mouth. Gum with sugar (which most do) creates a gunk on your chords, dries your airways and blocks airflow (not to mention the choking hazard), long term abuse can cause permanent damage to your vocal chords. NEVER sing with gum in your mouth it does not benefit your voice at all. Vocal Coach for many years.
Matty Hogarth sounds like unscientific bullshit, to me.
Woo. Great video! At first I thought Eden was Idina Menzel. Haha.
i L U V this song
wish Idina was in it but
still L U V
@JGuar1212 That was a glass bottle of french spring water lol
makes me proud 2b bisexual.....sing it, gals, SING IT....!
seriously one of the best performances of this song, SO amazing
LMAO I just noticed that...WOW I love her
i think she started a tad too early...
ese ultimo beso fue ¡se besaron en la boca ! acabo de morir xD
she even sorta looks like Idina!
I love how they are like.....drunk haha. best ever
i think they are my fav. that i saw on bway.
their crazy when their together in a good way
What does she say about kissing a girl?
eden the best maureen after idina that is
doesn't anyone notice eden chewing gum? haha
I LOVE Eden, but Idina owns this song!
I've heard it called the "thumbelina"
tracie es la mejor jhoaen sin duda alguna
Eden isn't a patch on Idina
they would be so great togheter
