In these songs, though, are just about the only musical moments that manage to separate themselves from the synth soup that...

Her line, “you said, you would...
...more debatable. She takes her character in a vastly different direction than the original actress Daphne Rubin-Vega, replacing Mimi’s usual raspy vocals with a much smoother, sweeter tone. Admittedly, the change is somewhat distracting, especially in Mimi’s first appearance, the innocently romantic duet “Light My Candle.” But Dawson’s approach begins to shine soon enough; by the time of Mimi’s big solo number “Out Tonight,” Dawson has made the character all her own.
