Maureen is traditionally cast as a white woman in juxtaposition to the upper class, hard working Joanne who is traditionally cast as black. It's actually a social statement made by the writer so rightfully speaking it'll never happen... but WOW what a voice this girl has! She's insanely talented!
Sophie Lee its not so much about the look as it is about the social statements that are meant to be made by these characters ethnic backgrounds. Angel is an ambiguous ethnicity, as is Mimi, though both are usually cast as hispanic characters. I've seen those two cast anywhere from Asian to black, and it works pretty alright because their story isn't too dependant on their ethnicity except for a few lines like "Mimi Marquez" and "huevos rancheros" implying they are Latin. Eva has amazing opportunities to play so many roles though, she's not too limited in her future as an incredible vocalist and performer.
Not often you can say ShoBean was out sung...in the best possible way. I'm not a fan of riff off's but this was done so well because Shoshana let Eva shine instead of to much riffing herself. So good.
Mitch Gardner As you pointed this out I was stunned too when she did that now I'm a little disappointed that at some point of Miss Saigon Recording she didn't reach high notes like in - for a long long while and paper dragons in the sky. I knew it wouldn't happen but I wish they would record again with the high notes
Pianist doesn’t have to follow them as much as you might think. They may SOUND like they are going seriously free and falling ahead then behind the beat. But they are meticulously sticking to the tempo and are not slowing or speeding that pianist up at all.
I watched Eva Noblezada play Eponine at the Queen's Theatre this June and she was so amazing!!! A Little Fall of Rain made me cry so much! And she sounds so amazing in this video too!!!
I actually coughed/choked on/inhaled on my tea at her riff at 0:10 damn sis hitten the improve this early normally pisses me off but you I can say that you sure as hell did not
even after all the times I've listen to someone different singing this song, whenever I play it in my head afterwards, I keep listenning amber riley's voice...I cannot be cured
while on my Eva Noblezada run for the night, this was discovered and let's say Two queens in the same room and singing like goddess' I'm not disappointed 💛
Lol.. music theory I’m still getting the hang of.. nope I have no idea what that is! lol wait on a piano there’s like C1 and all the letters of the notes, and then there’s sharp, the black keys. So is that what you mean? A E bLaCk note and 6? By the way I’m 12...

"Hey Asian!" 😂😂😂😂
I died laughing at that part
I’m so honored to be 1000
"HEY ASIAN!!! ...So sweet."
i was already blown away before i realized that this is a step higher than the original key. eva and shoshana are goddesses.
This is...lower?
It's lower so they can sing higher better if that makes sense.
@@shahafcarmieli3858 Yeah, i got that, but its so disappointing...
Singing something in a lower key isn’t bad, if it means the performer can perform better, then it’s better overall.
@@mrsonicspeed101 .... Dont sing it if you cant hit it
I literally spit when the, “hey Asian” happened. This is pure broadway gold. Jonathan is grinning
If Eva never plays Maureen then there is something wrong with the world.
Georgia Griffiths I feel she'd be a perfect Mimi😍❤
Georgia Griffiths she liked my instagram comment asking her to audition for rent live......who knows?
Maureen is traditionally cast as a white woman in juxtaposition to the upper class, hard working Joanne who is traditionally cast as black. It's actually a social statement made by the writer so rightfully speaking it'll never happen... but WOW what a voice this girl has! She's insanely talented!
Andy Eubanks u right no way they’d give any of the main cast roles to an Asian person, the rent roles all have very specific looks
Sophie Lee its not so much about the look as it is about the social statements that are meant to be made by these characters ethnic backgrounds. Angel is an ambiguous ethnicity, as is Mimi, though both are usually cast as hispanic characters.

Eva has amazing opportunities to play so many roles though, she's not too limited in her future as an incredible vocalist and performer.
With that high falsetto. Eva killed it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I knew she had a good voice but i wasnt expecting it to be thats high. As always shoshana killed it
/
You get my point though

+Kevin Machado Hate to rain on your parade, but women can sing in falsetto. It's a common misconception that is only applies to men.
pangzed8448 shobean can do that too plol
Not often you can say ShoBean was out sung...in the best possible way. I'm not a fan of riff off's but this was done so well because Shoshana let Eva shine instead of to much riffing herself. So good.
Dats the point of how best duet works. Shine together by let your partner shine first.
Two goddesses I’m shook
This is like if Eva played Persephone in Hadestown
Georgia Irving MY GOD YES
Welp that happened
This comment aged well
@@skylahelbig6818 doesn’t she play Eurydice not Persephone?
@@skylahelbig6818 wdym?
My death certificate be like...
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Cause of death: Eva Noblezada's vocals
Rico Vega SAME
just straight up put it on my tombstone
God can you imagine leaving SHOSHANA FREAKING BEAN speechless with your vocals????
Im only just seeing this now and Happy pride month indeed.
Eva Noblezada is out of this world.. Like, where did 1:53 come from!? Fantastic stuff.

That poor pianist thooo having to follow the Vocalists lol. But they did slay

I think Eva has improved a lot since the Miss Saigon Recording, especially with the high notes.
I know this was posted two years ago, but have you listened to her in hadestown? her voice literally sends chills down my spine
@@luvhoneyyy I know this was posted 4 years ago, but it's wild to read comments from before Hadestown really blew up
I know this is is from a while ago, but y’all should listen to The Great Gatsby recording if you haven’t yet. She’s just getting better and better!
they said gay rights.
Ha! "I need a minute"
Give me. A minute.. I gotta get into character.
“who’s in your bed” blew my damn mind.
sing it, girls!
"hEY ASIAN" im gonna *_fucking cry_* relatable
update: gayer than ever for eva maria noblezada
@@mediocrioaren’t we all?
Eva has grown so much musically.. She can sing and play Lea's roles w/ so much ease and she can sing music that Lea never dared to sing..
Andrei Spawn trueee
Those high notes that Eva sings....... I die a little inside
Didn't realise Eva was the Maureen I needed to see, incredible.
And they’re both on broadway right now
I felt like this was a big riff off. That's what was good about it.....LOVED IT!!! 💚
I watched Eva Noblezada play Eponine at the Queen's Theatre this June and she was so amazing!!! A Little Fall of Rain made me cry so much! And she sounds so amazing in this video too!!!
the opening chords of take me or leave me are just as recognizable as seasons of love at this point
After 1:54, I had to pause the video to recover from what just happened. Now, where did my shoes go...
God, me too!!
High falsetto!
I love eva! As usual, she kills it on the mic. That sass tho! How old is she again. She acts so mature but she has this innocence in her face, 😍
Audrey Lyn I believe Eva is only 19, and very talented for someone so young
+Lucy Wallis is correct; Eva turned 19 on March 18, 2015, not long before this performance.
+Audrey Lyn Crabaño she actually hasn't changed since she was in high school we both went to NWSA
amazing pianist holding the show on his back
Them singing this is my sexuality
Them: Guess I'm leavin, I'm gone!
Me: And I'm gay
I think I just died. I willingly let Eva murder me.
MaddyMaddieMadi ERR sAME
as a sapphic. yeah.
Eva's entire vocal performance is incredible, but can we take a minute to appreciate the "take" at 0:50 because damnnn
I loved this performance!!!! Shoshana as Joanne is AMAZINGLY NOT Shoshana but it sooo works... and Eva as Maureen is just pure brilliance...
Eva needs to be in RENT asap!!! She could defo play Mimi now!!!! =D
"i need a second" DHSMFKS mood
Eva is honestly my inspiration and makes me want to improve my singing every time I hear her! Gorgeous!!
Eve graduated from my school. 💕
Your school must be so proud of her :')
It’s like the sun and the moon met to have the sickest duet
dead at 1:54
I can't believe she was 19 when this was recorded wow
My gay is freaking out. I’m obsessed with both of them!!!
the BIGGEST mood :o
This my first time seeing Eva she's a fuckin beasttttttt
Wish she gets the part for the movie version of Miss Saigon.
At 3:23 shoshana was like "I give up"
TWO OF MY IDOLS SINGING TOGETHER IM FUCKING DYING
And on the first day, God said, “Let there be Eva”
I'm completely in love with this performance
I love that Eva is having fun when she sings💕
I feel like Eva would be a perfect Eliza schuyler
Honestly can she play all three girls at some point 😂😂😂
I see her as Angelica
Tamanna Das angelica requires a soulful voice that is reminiscent of a gospel singer. i love eva, but her voice suits eliza more so than angelica
Better than rent live
rent live is really good but this is literally perfect
I have loved Eva for so long. Love you Eva! ❤️❤️
I actually coughed/choked on/inhaled on my tea at her riff at 0:10 damn sis hitten the improve this early normally pisses me off but you I can say that you sure as hell did not
Still loving this three years later
In quarantine and watching this on repeat because Eva is just that amazing.
HOW AM I DISCOVERING THIS VIDEO ONLY NOW????
That was incredible!!!!!
Love Eva she is amazing and has the most amazing voice
Oh girl Eva slayed her part I died! Shoshana finished up my funeral lol
Eva has grown so much musically..
i can literally *passionately* talk about every single second that Eva sang there
Eva, spreading her wings, fab
I love both of them. what a combo
STRAIGHT UP SLAYED THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want Eva to play Maureen!!!
"Folks would kill to fill your shoes"
*yes* I would do everything for you Eva
How have I only just seen this xx
It’s everything for me
even after all the times I've listen to someone different singing this song, whenever I play it in my head afterwards, I keep listenning amber riley's voice...I cannot be cured
so true sapphic eva noblezada
Eva is great here. But after hearing her in Hadestown it's mindblowing how much better she's gotten.
yas!!!
while on my Eva Noblezada run for the night, this was discovered and let's say
Two queens in the same room and singing like goddess'
I'm not disappointed 💛
The same happened to me!
Eva is criminally TALENTED.
Eva was 19 when this was done!!! Wildly impressive
1:55 I just can't get over it
I watch this video once a week
I'm just kinda dead now. Omg that was so freaking good
I couldn't help but smile the whole way through this.
I'm in love with Eva's voice.
her voice.....so powerful
i didn’t realize how much i needed this
Was that an F6 at 1:53... or dare I say, F#6?
EDIT: in hindsight it seems more like an E6 or Eb6. Still damn impressive.
Pretty sure its an E6!
Lol.. music theory I’m still getting the hang of.. nope I have no idea what that is! lol wait on a piano there’s like C1 and all the letters of the notes, and then there’s sharp, the black keys. So is that what you mean? A E bLaCk note and 6? By the way I’m 12...
@@kdeggraham895 it shows
THE “Hey *C-word*!” THREW ME ACROSS THE FLOOR
Tag yourself, I'm Shoshana being absolutely 1000% DELIGHTED by Eva Noblezada
Filipino + Mexican ♥️
Eva's voice is literally blessed by the Muses
Two legends
eva is amazing
id die for eva
I didn't know I needed this in my life
yes, ma'am
Broadway divas. Love them both!!
So many shivers I had to get a blanket. I've missed out !!
Maureen:]
Every single day,
I walk down the street
I hear people say "Baby," so sweet
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls, I 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
[Maureen:]
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 lime light too now, baby
So be mine and don't waste my time
Cryin' "Oh honey bear are you still my, my, my 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
No way, can I be what I'm not
But hey, don't you want your girl hot?
Oh, don't fight, don't loose your head
'Cause every night who's in your bed?
Who?
Who's in your bed?
[Spoken:] Kiss, Pookie.
[Joanne:]
It won't work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make list in my sleep baby
What's my sin?
Never quit
I follow through
I hate mess but I love you
What 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
[Joanne:] Take me for what I am
[Maureen:] A control freak.
[Joanne:] Who I was meant to be
[Maureen:] A snob, yet overattentive
[Joanne:] And if you give a damn
[Maureen:] A lovable troll 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
[Maureen:] Women! What is it about them?
[Both:] Can't live with them or without them!
[Chorus:]
[Both:] Take me for what I am
[Joanne:] Who I was meant to be
[Maureen:] Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
[Joanne:] And if you give a damn you better
Take me baby, or leave me
[Maureen:] Oh, take me baby! Take me or lea-yea-yeave me
[Both:] Take me babay-ay-ay! Or leave me
[Spoken:] Guess I'm leaving. I'm gone!
I don't understand how I never saw this video until now. What a perfect performance!
Eva Noblezada for Maureen in Fox’s Rent Live!!
These women are slaying
MY FAVES❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can die happy now
I used to be surprised at that high note of eva but now i can't believe shoshana sings so perfectly without breathing...
