      I actually hate her voice. Like I’ve never wanted to turn off someone’s voice box in my life. She lacks polish, she lacks any sort of vocal quality whatsoever and she sounds so shaky. I loved renees version, it’s so clear yet she makes her own version of the character.

    i think that most of these actresses were trying too hard to sound like daphne’s. i think there’s a huge distinction between rosario’s and daphne’s mimi and i think that’s why i like them both the most. i love daphne’s mimi because she’s the dirty, gritty mimi and i love that about her. i’m in love with rosario’s because i think her voice is gorgeous and she sound the most like a 19 year old. i love renee with my whole heart because she can really hit those belting notes. anyway, that’s my ted talk

    Unlike most of y'all, I actually got to see Daphne Rubin Vega as Mimi live onstage. I had first seen the show in July of 1997 on Broadway. By that point Daphne had left the show so my first Mimi was Marcy Harriel, whom I liked very much. I saw most of the OBC, except Daphne and Idina Menzel on that matinee performance on Broadway.
    The 1st national tour of Rent had a lengthy premiere run at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles where I live so I did the discount ticket line thing and saw it many times front row center. I won the lottery for the final performance in L.A., one of the most memorable performances of any show I've seen.
    Not long after, the 2nd national tour of Rent was going to play L.A.'s now-gone Shubert Theatre (my fave theatre in L.A.--turned into a parking lot and office building, grrr) and it was announced that Daphne Rubin Vega would be reprising the role of Mimi for that L.A. return engagement. To my delight, just like they did during the initial L.A. engagement at the Ahmanson, they offered the entire first 2 rows for $20 a seat, first come, first served. I knew Daphne would draw a large crowd of fans, so I slept overnight on the cold pavement outside the Shubert Theatre along with other crazy fans to ensure my tickets, then had to wait almost half a day for the box office to open. By the time I got my tickets, I was in a half trance of sleep deprivation and seriously doubted I could keep my eyes open for the show. I was like, "Great! All of that and I'm just going to end up sleeping for the duration of the show and it will be as if I never saw it or Daphne at all!" The opening was a blur to me. I had trouble staying awake all the way up until Daphne came onstage for "Light My Candle" and suddenly, I was wide awake!
    It was strange seeing her live on stage. She was so small and looked like a child, I remember thinking. And her voice sounded thrilling live. And then "Out Tonight" came on and that ensured my eyes would remain open for the rest of the night. WOW! Her performance of that number was so incredible, I was left in awe. It was so forceful and thrilling! The way she grabbed the rail and swung to a sitting position for the slower portion of the song was so acrobatic, it kinda startled me because it seemed she might jump right into our laps in the first row! You could tell she, by that point, had performed the number so many times, she was a pro at it and had high confidence which made it unforgettable. The rest of her performance was just as good. I loved her before I saw her live but had no idea she would be so much more impressive than I had already imagined she'd be. To me, there is no question as to who is the best Mimi I've seen onstage (or from what I've seen of others on video, even though I know it's probably different live). Daphne is simply the embodiment of that character. I feel so privileged to have seen her, especially during a time when she was performing her final shows ever as Mimi. I just barely caught her and it was worth trying to sleep on the pavement and all the obnoxious talking from the other fans at night. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I love that she’s a Puerto Rican, NY native that has actually experienced the NY that is the main character of RENT…and on top of that not a trained vocalist! Hands down my favorite Mimi ❤️

    I have seen rent way too many times to count. but first the videos do no justice to live performances. the video here for antonique Smith was horrible quality but she is by far the best Mimi I have ever seen. she gives you goosebumps. her performance of Another day is just so far beyond anything I ever seen ! karmine alers rocked it when I saw her too. and I have to say I was so iffy about Tamara Gray going into the show and she blew me away. I saw Renee a few weeks before closing. she gave an exceptional performance as well !! and of course Daphne will always be the original dirty and gritty Mimi.
