1. "A capella" does not mean "without a microphone".... it means "with no accompanying music". Therefore, this is not a capella.
2. "Macushla" is NOT an English word for heart-throb. (See :23-:28). I will assume that this was just a slip of the tongue. I like Rufus Wainwright. "Hallelujiah" is awesome. He shouldn't be singing this song however. Just saying. If he wants to be "authentic" and "traditional" and sing it like they would when it was written (1910), he should, and not milk it.
@champagneivy To be more specific, "macushla" isn't technically a word. It's sort of a contraction of the Gaelic "mo chuisle" which means "my pulse", andm just fyi, you pronounce it "muh hooshla".
Estuve en el concierto y este fue un momento realmente curioso... lastima que yo estaba justo al otro lado y a él le escuchaba más bien poco... Gracias por el video.

The only good part of this is the last note, otherwise it's an atrocious rendering of this beautiful song.

I think you meant "acoustic" rather than "a capella". Great sound quality. Thanks!
