The only Collins I've ever seen that gave him a run for his money was Michael McElroy, and I'd be hesitant to even try to compare them due to how much they both brought to the table... I'f you get a chance, watch RENT filmed live on Broadway and tell me what you think of Michale's performance. I honestly don't think comparing the two is even fair with how original both performances were
Jesse is one of the coolest, kindest, and generous individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure to be able to call a friend! This dude overcame a bad stuttering problem and difficulties with reading as a youth, and he’s overcome it to the point where he is a successful actor and one of the best impromptu singers I’ve personally encountered! He’s also overcome a lot with his own family, which I won’t elaborate on out of respect and privacy. I love my brother Jesse!
That man can “sang” - I’ve watched Rent 2,029 times and him holding his coat and singing at Angel’s funeral just makes me clap and cry tears!! Talented!
Yeah he knew Jonathan Larson and that’s why he was cast as the original Collins. It’s sad cause I’ve heard that when he sang this song in the original show he was singing it for Jonathan.
Yep. No one beats the original Collins. He is god. Love Jesse so much omd

But Angel died for our sins. 🙏🏼
he is not god
Omg how can people dislike this? The passion, the voice! Jesse Martin is incredible!!
They could be just disliking the quality since it keeps cutting off
I had this whole performance on VHS. I lost it years ago and I will never stop being upset about that.

Idk what it says about me when I find someone more attractive when I know they can sing. And Jesse can SING!!! 🥵😍
Thank you
wow, daphne rubin vega truly is a powerhouse with this song
?
So Iris’s dad from Flash was on Broadway? I knew he was familiar when I kept watching the show.
He was also in law and order
Yeah he knew Jonathan Larson and that’s why he was cast as the original Collins. It’s sad cause I’ve heard that when he sang this song in the original show he was singing it for Jonathan.

Awesome Earth 20 Joe West!
Amazing!!!!! The Background 😱😱😱
Is there a full video available of that last clip? It's wonderful.
Yes, just go to you tube and type in Rent I'll Cover You at Angel's funeral
Can't believe Angel and Collins invented love and loss
Do you have any more of that first clip?
Love how some of the backup singers were trying their hardest to over sing him 😒
Try to imagine Jesse Martin and George Michael as a duet on this song...
HE WAS AT THE FLASH TOO
Great performance. Terrible recording. Yikes.
