Hi friendssss! So this wasn't exactly pitch perfect or anything, but I definitely had fun singing this song! So sassy! Haha! I hope that, all things aside, you'll enjoy my split screen cover of "Take Me or Leave Me" from RENT!
I thought you did an awesome job! For some reason, I imagine it might be harder to harmonize with oneself, rather than with another person. Still, I remember this one being a challenge when I'd sing it with my friend at karaoke, but it's such a fun song...how could anyone resist?! Thanks for sharing your talent with the interwebz! xoxo Matty
I was just searching TH-cam for Rent-related videos... and I came across this one, just posted an hour ago! Just goes to show you how prominent Rent is even after all these years, and how beautiful serendipity can be.
You never fail to impress. Loved this one. The pitchiness works with this song. It’s a break up fight, Broadway diva style. You slayed it. Keep them coming handsome!
👏👏👏👏👏 Love that song and AMAZING as usual!!! For Good is still my favorite you won me over with that one and have continued to impress. Wishing you all the best and continued success.....look forward to the next one.
Hi Stephen. We just discovered you and I am in love with your voice. Masculine, strong, emotive with amazing amazing control. I haven’t watched all your videos yet but I will. This is my third and I have to say your harmonizing with yourself was flawless as far as we are concerned. I was cringing when I saw your Whitney cover of “I have nothing” because I thought it was going to be another imitation with sharp notes and boy was I wrong. It was a great surprise. Please keep posting. You are so talented.
One of my favorites. I have "ill cover you" tattooed on my wrist :) first and only tattoo (for now) I love your voice. Only thing I'd negatively comment on is in my humble opinion there was a little too much vibrato. You have such a smooth and beautiful voice. And your vibrato control is awesome. Just think you should bring it back a little bit. Other than that, flawless and I just subscribed xo
Out of all the videos that I was searching for about this song, none of the covers were as decent as yours given that its not a pop song. Thanks for doing this man, I can use this as a basis for my choir audition so they can either take me or leave me LMAO
MAUREEN Every single day, I walk down the street. I hear people say "Baby's so sweet" Ever since puberty everybody stares at me - Boys, girls, I can't can't help it, baby. So be kind and don't lose your mind, just remember that I'm your baby! Take me for what I am, who I was meant to be, and if you give a damn, Take me, baby, or leave me, Take me, baby, or leave me... A tiger in a cage can never see the sun. This diva needs her stage! Baby, let's have fun! You are the one I choose, folks would kill to fill your shoes... You love the limelight too, now, baby... So be mine and don't waste my time, cryin' "Oh, Honeybear, are you still my, my, my baby?" JOANNE: Don't you dare! MAUREEN: Take me for what I am, who I was meant to be, and if you give a damn, take me, baby, or leave me. No way can I be what I'm not, but hey - Don't you want your girl hot? Don't fight, don't lose your head, 'cause every night, who's in your bed? Who? Whooooo's in your bed? Kiss, Pookie? JOANNE: It won't work! I look before I leap, I love margins and discipline, I make lists in my sleep, baby, what's my sin? Never quit, I follow through, I hate mess, but I love you! What to do with my impromptu, baby? So be wise, 'cause this girl satisfies! You've got a prize, so don't compromise... You're one lucky baby! Take me for what I am! MAUREEN: A control freak. JOANNE: Who I was meant to be... MAUREEN: A snob, yet over-attentive. JOANNE: And if you give a damn... MAUREEN: A lovable, droll geek. JOANNE: Take me, baby, or leave me! MAUREEN: An anal retentive! BOTH: That's it! JOANNE: The straw that breaks my back. BOTH: I quit! JOANNE: Unless you take it back! BOTH: Women! MAUREEN What is it about them? BOTH: Can't live with them, or without them! Take me for what I am! JOANNE: Who I... MAUREEN: Who I was meant to be... BOTH: And if you give a damn, you better... JOANNE: Take me, baby MAUREEN: Oh, take me, baby. Take me, o-o-o-or le-e-e-ve me! BOTH: Take me, babyyyyyyy-y-y-y! Or leave me!
Your voice was better singing Joanne, but your facial expressions as Maureen were awesome. This is not my favorite cover of this song but it's not bad.
@@StephenScaccia I will not say no to you redoing this. Or doing something else from Rent. Maybe either Today for you, Tomorrow for me or Tango Maureen.
Great cover. But you forgot the Loveable Droll Geek lyric between A Snob Yet Over Attentive and Anal Retentive. Take Me For What I Am (A Control Freak) Who I Was Meant To Be (A Snob Yet Over Attentive) And If You Give A Damn (A Loveable Droll Geek) Take Me Baby or Leave Me (And Anal Retentive)

Loved it. You knocked it out of the park, and your facial expressions and mannerisms made this great just as much as your voice did.
You should sing more Rent! :)

@@StephenScaccia thanks! I got in as a tenor! :)
@@mofotov9428 Good for you! :)
@@StephenScaccia and it's all thanks to you, people went crazy after I imitated some of your twists to the song. XD
@@mofotov9428 Oh shucks. No need for all that :) You earned it all on your own!!
Du bist so buitiful..Daumen hoch.
Where can I get a minus one for this?
That's amazing. Please allow me to request a song , apologize - Timberland
Never heard this song before
Hard to believe, but I love this version better than the movie version :)
Aw yay thank you!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❣️❣️
you make your vibrato by moving your tongue. It's a strange effect and not something I've ever seen before :O
Stephan, I would love to hear you sing “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserable. You have a fantastic voice!
MAUREEN
Every single day, I walk down the street.
I hear people say
"Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty everybody stares at me -
Boys, girls, I can't can't help it, baby.
So be kind and don't lose your mind,
just remember that I'm your baby!
Take me for what I am,
who I was meant to be,
and if you give a damn,
Take me, baby, or leave me,
Take me, baby, or leave me...
A tiger in a cage can never see the sun.
This diva needs her stage!
Baby, let's have fun!
You are the one I choose,
folks would kill to fill your shoes...
You love the limelight too, now, baby...
So be mine and don't waste my time,
cryin' "Oh, Honeybear, are you still my, my, my baby?"
JOANNE:
Don't you dare!
MAUREEN:
Take me for what I am,
who I was meant to be,
and if you give a damn,
take me, baby, or leave me.
No way can I be what I'm not,
but hey - Don't you want your girl hot?
Don't fight, don't lose your head,
'cause every night,
who's in your bed?
Who?
Whooooo's in your bed?
Kiss, Pookie?
JOANNE:
It won't work!
I look before I leap,
I love margins and discipline,
I make lists in my sleep,
baby, what's my sin?
Never quit, I follow through,
I hate mess, but I love you!
What to do with my impromptu, baby?
So be wise, 'cause this girl satisfies!
You've got a prize, so don't compromise...
You're one lucky baby!
Take me for what I am!
MAUREEN:
A control freak.
JOANNE:
Who I was meant to be...
MAUREEN:
A snob, yet over-attentive.
JOANNE:
And if you give a damn...
MAUREEN:
A lovable, droll geek.
JOANNE:
Take me, baby, or leave me!
MAUREEN:
An anal retentive!
BOTH:
That's it!
JOANNE:
The straw that breaks my back.
BOTH:
I quit!
JOANNE:
Unless you take it back!
BOTH:
Women!
MAUREEN
What is it about them?
BOTH:
Can't live with them,
or without them!
Take me for what I am!
JOANNE:
Who I...
MAUREEN:
Who I was meant to be...
BOTH:
And if you give a damn, you better...
JOANNE:
Take me, baby
MAUREEN:
Oh, take me, baby.
Take me, o-o-o-or le-e-e-ve me!
BOTH:
Take me, babyyyyyyy-y-y-y!
Or leave me!
yhea| :D
I'll take you. No really, I'm becoming a huge fan.
Your voice was better singing Joanne, but your facial expressions as Maureen were awesome.
This is not my favorite cover of this song but it's not bad.
it's not my favourite either hahaha. i wish i could go back and redo it :P. i actually hate how it turned out, looking back
@@StephenScaccia I will not say no to you redoing this. Or doing something else from Rent. Maybe either Today for you, Tomorrow for me or Tango Maureen.
Angel Dust x Alastor
Great cover. But you forgot the Loveable Droll Geek lyric between A Snob Yet Over Attentive and Anal Retentive.
Take Me For What I Am
(A Control Freak)
Who I Was Meant To Be
(A Snob Yet Over Attentive)
And If You Give A Damn
(A Loveable Droll Geek)
Take Me Baby or Leave Me
(And Anal Retentive)
