Just the way Tynisha Keli comes in with her vocals give me goosebumps everytime

[broadwaymike]

HOT Sorry can’t compare this to that iconic original moment.

[fidanfast]

Imagine you just trying to eat your lunch peacfully and a guy randomly starts jumping on your table

[astrosjer]

The scene in the original is one of the best scenes in the movie

[Ninalo]

Pr moi la scène du réfectoire du Fame original est tellement meilleur et faisait tellement plus spontané. Je vais qd même regarder cette version pour me faire un avis mais je pense que je serais de la team 80 😀

[legalmemories]

Doesn’t feel as organic as the 1980 version and the song is definitely not as good but I appreciate the effort to try to bring in different musical styles

[dwnl]

It's not bad for what it is, but to me it doesn't have the vibe, energy, or the punch the Hot Lunch Jam in the original film did. Not even close.
Have to admit that blonde girl singing has got some pipes, though.

[blackcatzzz]

I am so glad I never watched this movie after watching this clip.

[Superflymuslima]

the original was the best wish they would stop remaking classics

[Music_Lad]

Can't compare to the original cafeteria jam

[cifratv]

Ugh, it looks all so fake, unlike the original, which has to be one of the best edited and directed musical numbers in the history of cinema, feeling completely organic, really improvised - which wasn't! - and poignant, even showing glances to the soul of the cast and underlining how they will connect at school.

[chamboyette]

This was very very forced and seemed so choreographed. Not like the original which seemed so much more spontaneous (even though I know it was planned out too).

[Drumcarver]

The Original for me was far superior to this remake. Movies were just filmed and acted better in the 1980s

[janetlandais]

Ça n'a pas du tout l'énergie et l'enthousiasme de l'original, le Vrai Fame ! 😖🥱

[legalmemories]

Doesn’t feel as organic as the 1980 version and the song is definitely not as good but I appreciate the effort to try to bring in different musical styles. Plus by 2008 it was obviously cost prohibitive to hire as many dancers as in the 1980 version. lol

[Sandy-rt]

This actually IS the scene from the 1980 movie.

[RobJDoran]

Wow..what a way to ruin the perfect number!

[javierdiaz]

Hot lunch es milll veces mejor que esto... las nuevas generaciones lo intentan pero no pueden ni siquiera acercarse

[davittorrano]

For me the original song was one thousand times better than this.

[rboddington]

So incredibly inferior to the same scene in the original.
