Part 2 right here:

[@AtsumuMiya123]

I always forget Renee Elisee Goldsberry was Mimi before she was Angelica Schyler, but she was amazing in both roles

[@thefuck1439]

daphne renee and rosario the mimi holy trinity that’s it

[@babibratzko1744]

One day I will be mimi that is a promise. Ive know since 2008 I was born for this role

[@marliehodge9763]

Renee and Rosario will always be Mimi to me

[@whyyousostinky3057]

tho she didn’t sing live rosario dawson is the embodiment of mimi

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

I don’t care if people think she’s raspy or looks to old, I love Daphne and she’s definitely my fav.

[@Horselo285]

I love the Korean one and Tamyra. So much control vocally during the choreography! I love Renee too

[@rociobadilla7125]

This song with the choreo looks really hard.Not everyone can do all those things while singing.A challenge

Daphne is the best. Nobody else is as raw as her. Remember, late 90's. She was supposed to sound like Courtney Love- Liz Phair - Pj Harvey combined kind of a thing. Also, remember: as glamorous as the different versions of RENT has made us believe, the original set up was in a HORRIBLE PLACE, where the character found beauty among their companionship. But if it weren't by this friendship, their lives would be unbearable. Look at homeless people: for many they are the trash of society. Being and HIV positive and drug addict stripper, Mimi's life, appearance and voice is not what we think it could be. I've read Daphne Rubi-Vega was a showstopper every time she sang this.

[@MouhamadouBDiagne]

Tamyra gray is my favorite vocally.

[@starrysebbie]

all of them sound amazing but i think my top 3 still has to be rosario, tinashe, and daphne

[@mirandabee2323]

pointing frantically to Tinashe

[@oscarphile]

Tamyra Gray FTW!!

[@katjasjoberg750]

I have three Mimi favorites

[@michaellevine759]

Vanessa isnt bad but she sounds and looks like mimi in slow motion mode. Except thats just her

[@urmom16969]

My favorites are Renee and Tsukasa Hamaguchi

[@natashadiaz9668]

I wish I could find Sharon Leal! She is the best Mimi!!!

[@keller109]

I hate Daphne Ruben-Vega’s voice, but it as well as her performance as a whole has an organic quality about it that the other Mimi’s lacked

[@ghostpixie822]

Vanessa Hudgens really took a jump from hsm
