Sublime and under rated. He is one of this generation's top songwriters and singers. When he sings the Art Teacher it kills me every time.

Recently discovered Rufus Wainwright, and I think he is amazing!!! Can't understand people who have to make negative comments about his sexuality. He has an amazing talent, and, if you love music that's all that should matter!

"I have to win over one fan at a time" Well, you didn't have to win over me, I won myself over the first note I ever heard you sing :)

You won me over completely Rufus! Funny, good looking and so talented. Love your music and your humor. 😘

I saw him at Place des Arts in Montreal. A Genius!!.

So really good song. Beautiful melody, nice voice. Great men. Harry Cañari

omfg...rufus wainwright is an amazing singer! i bought his album~ want two and i cant stop listening to it!

rufus is a total god

Gay or not rufus is adorable and gorgeous and adored by gay and straight men and women all over the world. He's an inspiration to the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Keane and the Sisscor Sisters. On top of that he writes beautiful songs and manages to stay authentic and doesn't sell out. He's a iconic hero!

Rufus is beautiful

Love this, and watch it oftenI I love Rufus, he is so very talented, gorgeous and funny! Love the jacket. I want one! :)

Yes, he performs so well and loves It! He is just so relaxed .and projects himself with such a powerful voice.It really is such a complete captivating experience for us! I like him ... Its just easy to like him. A real musician, and writer of imagination, and even better to see and hear in a live performance .

I discovered Rufus almost 3 years ago and got to my first concert at Carnegie Hall June 16, 2016. Since then, I see his shows whenever and wherever I can - Canada, Netherlands, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia. I’ll soon be catching 11 more performances in New York, Germany, Switzerland and South Dakota. I just love everything about him - his songs, his voice, his sense of humor, not to mention his beautiful face. Seeing Rufus perform is currently my major hobby and how I spend the majority of my discretionary income.

the fact that he is so easy on the eye is just a bonus! I

What a great performance of GTAT. And he is soooo funny in the interview! Thanks for posting this.

that whole "born in the living room" statement is classic. I love him so much, thank you for posting this AHHHH j'adore rufus!

I love Rufus. love.

His talking voice shocked me compare to his his singing voice!! But amazing !! :)

Thank you for uploading this, Release The Stars is wonderful

Magnificent Talented Artist RUFUS! The best music composer and performer of this Century! I listen to him every moment

Rufus is an amazing talent.

He's so fabulous.

"...and wear ridiculous outfits..." he's so gay... I love it!!! he's adorable...

For six years I've been teased by my brother and sister about my love for this man; wouldn't want it any other way.

Saw this live last week and was incredible ! He is note perfect...sounded exactly as on the album!

this is absoulutley amazing this man is amazingly sick at singing always had a special eye for him.

I saw him live and he's such a funny guy.And of course a brilliant musician

Thankyou so much for uploading this! i was kicking myself when i didn't tape it! He's unbelivably cute.

PERFECT.

"I was born in the living room" Tee Hee!!!

Ok...I am a straight man. I am telling you, besides being one of the most talented singers/songwriters/Pianist...He has got to be the most attractive man since Elvis Presley. I am serious; This is a beautiful man! My sister is a lesbian and I really am disapointed in some of the incredibly immature and homophobic statements. What is the name of the song he is singing on this video? It is fantastic!

smoothjazzweolfe, we are sharing same feelings and thoughts about this man. Im straight too, but cannot deny that he is exteremely attractive for a man, especially how he looks to you. Anyway the song he is singing is "going to a town", wonderful.

He sings it beautifully:D:D

what amazing and powerful lyrics he writes x

i COVET that jacket. COVET

I only recently encountered this utterly brilliant musician when I watched a video in which he sang ‘Wrapped around your finger ‘ live at Sting’s birthday concert. This song is also gorgeously delivered. I find the lyrics deeply disturbing in May 2020 because they are so prescient. ‘Sword of Damocles ‘ is another haunting song.

lol he is uber camp and beautiful! That performance was just bewitching

woah i was really taken aback by his talking voice... not expecting that. love him though.

Rufus is BOSS!

Rufus=amazing. I love his face at 6:35. he's soooo cute! :)

Re jetulik; Dick should be so bloody lucky. Rufus is ,quite simply,a genius.

beautiful person

great voice brillant band

wonderful lyrics, wonderful voice. he's dreeeeeamy

Thank you It's a great song

I love this song

Tee hee, Rufus doesn't like that camera being in his face. Can't say I blame him. Gorgeous performance, as per.

i'm so excited to see him in concert in a month!

I didn't even know you could do that so thanks for recommending it. Just changed it, cheers!

Wow. Genius songwriter

Nicely stated! Thanx for the music info

wow, he's cute.

@ hummer14455 thank you very much!

Yeah, he does. haha It's rather like hearing Hugh Laurie speak with his natural British accent after watching a House marathon or something. XD

Thanks for explanation. I'm still learning.

he is so talented

This is the guy from tommy tricker and the stamp traveller

If I was only 20 years younger and if he was heterosexual..it would be our destiny to be together.I love you Rufus!

That is because you are Canadian. Montreal raised.

you might not agree with his lifestyle. why whats his lifestyle?

Thank you, Hemanthemannequin, now it's clear to me. So to be born in the living room is an idiom for not to have secrets / to be watched by people / to go public?

"woofus wainwite" This guy's speech impediment is a little much.

Woofus Wainwright!

I totally agree with you. And not just because I'm gay myself.

Your parents must be so proud of you.

"I was born in the living room"

Woofus Wainwright! =P

You're welcome ;)

he is speaking like barbara "babwa" walters!

You mean AND a great singer?

@Joleine28 It's live!

What song is this? Really nice voice.

Great song. Great artist. (Nearly as good as his sister!)

I’m so tired of you, America

that is not even worth to give you a thumb down, is it

Born in the living room.. as in, never in the closet.

it's about the level of david bowie for me

Well Brits usually appreciate gay artists straight but sometimes we can't help but contort.

Is he a baritone or a tenor?

Sorry, I'm not good enough at English to understant what Jonathan is saying just before Rufus answers "No, no, I was born in the living room," which is obviously funny, but I don't get the point. Can anybody help me pls? What is Jonathan saying and what does that "being born in the living room" mean?

What's the name of this song?

We're getting married... once it's legal of course

I wanna marry him too...(I'm a 60 year old woman)! haha

Who else hate it when video starts with klaps?

Thank God he's gay? That's a bit counter productive...But I completely agree haha

Are you serious? I'm sure he was just trying to show his appreciation for Rufus as an artist regardless of his sexuality...Sure, he may have chosen the wrong words, but there's really nothing to gain by flaming him because of it. Ease up...Throwing our guards up at the slightest sign of offense is but only one of the ways we as the gay community are isolating ourselves further from the general population...Tolerance goes both ways, yes? sorry, but that kind of reaction irritates me...

I've always wondered about the whole "gay voice" thing. I mean listen to this guy sing, and then to hear him talk. Not a gay/strait thing, not even an attack on the voice. Clearly not all homosexual men have it, I've just always wondered about it.

i think you've misunderstood me. i meant a waste of me fancying him because he's gay. i wanst being homophobic. i think he's amazing actually.

Love his voice but sounds a little too like Billy Joel for my liking here. However Rufus still rocks

Why even mention the fact he is gay?

It's not really a common idiom at all, just an example of Rufus' quick wit. The more used idiom to describe a gay person becoming public is to 'come out of the closet'; the phrase 'to come clean' would be a more general term to describe someone or something becoming truthful, or to go public/tell their secrets :)

oh hey, didn´t see it is you:) why is that funny? what does he mean?

How can he talk like that when he sings like that? o_o Not trying to be mean, or anything...

yeah, i never knew he was gay because i'd only listened to his singing and his singing voice is so deep and kinda manly. maybe that's just me.

Falmboyantly.

dont like him
