Rufus Wainwright - Release The Stars

[ch1aka2]

"Without them there would be no Paramount." That's got to be from Sunset Boulevard. Norma Desmond says it to the guard as she enters the Paramount gates.

I saw Rufus sing this song at the Eden project, he opened the show with this song.

I didn't know much about him before then, but after hearing him then and there I fell in love with his music. This man is the epitome of contemporary music.

Long live Rufus!

[youvebeenerined]

Rufus Wainwright has the voice of an angel . . .Salieri isn't mad at Mozart any more. . he's mad at Rufus!!!!

[kevMAN20]

Saw this tour... best live show I ever saw.

[TheGeorgeBoleyn]

I wonder if he shat himself in those lederhosen

[bimba1973]

LOVE HIM !

[johnnydeeeep]

8 out of 10 queens can sing this well

[handsdown101]

@johnnydeeeep 9 out of 10 retards can make better comments than this one.

[TheLogicalGod]

@johnnydeeeep lol but they can't write songs this good.

[keithzworld]

Love this song, Rufus is amazing

[setamonkeytoy]

[THEtinybrat24]

my favorite song in the world. hands down. can he get anymore adorable?

[futsal1958]

This is sooooo *splashy*!

[jgdmol4l]

immaculate vocals...there needs to be a separate category of music for him, dont you all think? :)

[unknownlove19]

FUN FACT: this song is a tribue to brandon flowers :) :) :) <3

[sylvia1971de]

@unknownlove19: This is not a tribute to Brandon Flowers. Tulsa is about Brandon Flowers.

[LimeGirl08]

He's so incredible, I always smile when I watch this video, it's so good. The outfit, oh my. Top that outfit Lady Gaga! :)

[hinataandnaruto4evr]

Lederhosen? lol, he is amazing. And adorable.

[babymoondancer]

Awesome tune!! I love the songs that show off his vocal range.

[ch1aka2]

Romantico.

[KarlaMay]

Leiderhosen, knee socks and the voice of an angel. Le sigh.

[feliciaijsthee]

in the first few seconds he looks a lot like the leading actor in scrubs...

[kassioppeae]

Impresionante, impecable, este tío es un genio.

[Futureframes]

The man can sing, I love his voice. The most creative, intellect in a very long time. Thank you for posting.

[eneale09]

I listened to that entire album when I was cleaning my room. This is my favorite song in the world right now.

[HoboRachel]

i like him better singing in french :)

[QueenDeaconite]

He is stunning. =)

[iggypot]

certainly a unique and special voice

[MichaelaLeach]

love the umm lederhosen??

whatever he can sing, he can wear what he wants.

[joe44850]

what...the...hell is he wearing...Anyway, this guy is freaking AWESOME

[astarintheeast]

I believe that is lederhosen

[lollipoplyonesse]

Yeah I agree with the what is he wearing. He reminds me of Uter from the Simpsons. But he's the most amazing performer and I'd like to see a man with nicer legs than when he was Judy Garland! <3

[CurtisJ83]

Rufus is a tit man

[Jacqui805]

I get chills everytime I hear him.....sigh... :-)

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert once....I swear it was THE best performance I've ever seen live...

[suzeaa]

I saw him live recently and I agree. He was perfect.

[parsifal3142]

If you can sing like that you can absolutely wear whatsoever you bloody want.

[calangodoido]

There's no one like Rufus!

[samsung2535]

angelic

[emisquiteawesome]

oh, this man.

how can he possibly be so fantastic?

[StereoTypeA]

So sexy. I love how the musicians look like they raided Rufus' closet!

I love that it's just him standing there in Lederhosen...the audience is probably like WTF. But that's why he's awesome!

[QueenDeaconite]

This man is a genius. Lederhosen, yuck, but his voice...holy shit. =)

[falcofreak15]

he's great :D

[mbop75]

this song is great cos the metaphor is just fab & subtle & if u get it then it makes the performance much more enjoyable :)

[jobrosrock313]

haha wow

i love him so much

:)

[ZRedPoppy]

Oh, Rufus <3

Lovely knees, too :D

[paigekeiser]

He looks like River Phoenix

[bloodiedXangel]

Lederhosen... Holy shit!! I love Rufus!!!

[Whoester]

I love the man ! :D

[Lindele23]

I'm falling in love with him...*_*

[DeidreShannon]

wht is he wearing...lovely....lol!!!

[rupertfried]

She painted her shorts....oh no.

[Saerinade]

Lederhosen on Letterman? I can think of some slightly more appropriate attire. It is pretty characteristic for dear old Rufus, though.

[xhaxhkazulu]

The man is just a miraculous!

[xhaxhkazulu]

pardon the bad grammer, you get the idea!

[nemo528]

does anyone else get the feeling this song is about celebrities being in the closet ... XD

he once talked about marking your lederhosen but defacating in them (to put it nicely) but wouldnt say whether he had marked his or not lmao

[chrischrisson]

Is that matt johnson on the drums?

[buckleysoreal]

yup.

[mybabba]

Took me forever to track down this song. I kept hearing it played at the store in the piped in music and no one could make out who it was. Finally...eureka! Outstanding song. I love Rufus's voice.

[chicagoguy19]

same here! i work at a dept store and it took FOREVER to find this song. love it

[patientboygirl]

three cheers for lederhosen!

[BeerHombre]

what the hell is he wearing?

[aluisha]

What a turn-on...

[waynebrasler]

Just when you think he can't possibly top himself, he tops himself.

[waynebrasler]

Just when you think he can't possibly top himself, he tops himself.

[nyctime004]

Rufus always kills this song, he just soars into the notes with amazing ease and precision.

[sjoes]

When he´s good, he´s really really good!

[rosieposie1104]

jizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[niansenx]

One of his finest live TV appearances.
