Rufus, Moby, & Sean Lennon - Across The Universe

[carlosaxavier1]

lindo! lindo! lindo!

[Curt52743]

Moby is not bad at all

[guitarmusic524]

NIce version except they forgot to add the 5th beat in the verse where it goes to the chorus after the words "across the universe". (either they forgot, or just scrapped it because it was too hard). Good, but I've heard better singing (and arranging). If this was a 'throw together/spur-of-the-moment thing, then it's pretty darn good.

[gherron7455]

Today, my girlfriend of seven years, four months and eighteen days told me that she no longer loves me. This song makes me feel as if I can continue on long enough to live for me. Thank you Rufus, Sean and Moby.

[hapao1]

@gherron7455 it's sad you history, "Nothing's gonna change my world", ...

[MultiWharfrat]

For all you dopes who don't like this,try to find a stage to go on and sing what you like,you won't,and if you don't like this listen to something else,thats what makes freedom so great,the right to choose,the three guys singing are good and the song is from the Beatles,the greatest band ever!!

[BalderdashMadam]

I've been listening to this version for years. Out.Of.This.World.

[MrDeeCee420]

Wow your all losers and they should ban comments on youtube, thumbs up or thumbs down thats it. 90% of the comments anywhere on this site are fucking retarded.

[jkgcc]

John would be fuckin proud as hell

[TheActor59]

T.T

[0095swimchick]

What year of the Grammy's was this?

[chrisandrewz]

Great Scene. 

[LaBlusera10]

thanks!!! that's all gotta say

[Christopher71488]

I've never heard a Rufus Wainwright song I liked, and I still haven't. Its a beatles song, for christs sakes, Sean should have done this one solo.

[4GETMENOT2011]

Im sorry to say this but the lead singer sounds like a goat.

[Sirenamer]

Sean who always fights for his dumb mother; I can see how you can pay to make a good song. You are disgusting

[Mychannel1314]

@Sirenamer Heyy.... 4 words you dumbass, shut. the. fuck. up. You asshole. you disgust the shit out of me, if you dont like him why the FUCK spend your damn time hating? yeah, think you disgusting petty dumbass....

[nataliefiorenza]

@Sirenamer Yoko is amazing you ignorant scum. She had money and recognition of her own before John pursued her. Make sure you hold on tight to that bandwagon.

[RoxxHoffner]

A lot of Dad rubbed off, especially that Lennon Rhythm guitar.

[jadesixlv]

Good, except for Moby.



[Puccarlette]

simplemente horrible....



[onebigfanofradiohead]

Don't know about Moby in this song...

[jonsey98]

Get rid of the fag lead singer guy and just let Sean sing while hes strumming the guitar. That guy thats the lead singer butchers it and plays tries to play the part to much.

[warmbeer05]

that was shit house ,,,scorpions version does this song much better justice

[MrDeva65]

just awesome

[Wolfinlied]

If this isnt the most beautiful thing ive ever heard.

[msajaroff1]

Quien carajo es Rufus?

[qooseek]

gay backsingers ruined everything.

[swccmty]

outstanding version!



[martygruffy1]

I thought it was awful sorry

[martygruffy1]

Baldy is bad get him out

[TheRothko]

@martygruffy1 You know that is moby right?

[111theflash]

Awesome, I can sing this and play a fair amount of it

[k3rgr4]

Across the universe isnt rufus's stuff according to the description. Its a beatles original which he just revived.

[BRAUUUNA]

ALAS! STOP EVERYTHING! IT IS RUFUS!  COULD IT GET ANY BETTER? NA. IT *IS* RUFUS.

[ronyorellana226]

If Fionna Apple would have been there, it would be perfect.

[182daviddelfin]

who tha fuck is rufus??? (sorry for my ignorance)

[nvsfilmandmusic]

@182daviddelfin rufus wainright (singing lead) singer songwriter. look him up he's got a great voice and some great tunes

[Steven205]

Gosh the main vocalist is terribad........ Can't stand that voice and that facial expression......

[paladin313]

Enough bickering, people...this was one monster performance.

[rocketmanflewaway]

I remember watching this special, it brings back memories of being in high school *sigh* I love this song...

[gamerstormz67]

fuck you guys arguin bout something stupid instead of actually listenin to the video

[marycockburn1]

sounds like a chord  is missing to me lol

[alissewonder]

When did Sean Lennon get hot?!

[HuysMusic]

tri harmonies HOLY FUCK its freakin awesome. moby - sings low, rufus- middle, sean - high. its actually really nice.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

I wish the droany voiced guy (is it the Rufus everyone likes) would shut the fuck up. Talentless little shit.

[kdub10009]

@Robotdrummerzzk - um, hmm, "talentless little shit"? Interesting. You're referring to Rufus Wainwright, whom Elton John called "the greatest songwriter on the planet," and who was named "best new artist" of the year by Rolling Stone Magazine upon the release of his debut album. He may not be your style, but talent-less he is not.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@kdub10009 Why should I care what Elton John thinks or the Rolling Stone? I think he's garbage.

[TheMclias]

@Robotdrummerzzk Then why should we care for anything you have to say?

[maddymud]

@kdub10009 --- thank you. I mean, how can you argue with his singing? Great control, style, pitch, timbre

[sylvia1971de]

@Robotdrummerzzk: You are obviously talking about Moby, not about Rufus Wainwright. The guy in the middle with the low voice setting in a little later is Moby. The lead singer with the high voice (the one on the right with the long hair) is Rufus Wainwright.

And Wainwright is certainly not garbage, even if you still don't like him.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@sylvia1971de No idea. None of them sound good to me.

[convictPKlol]

@Robotdrummerzzk then why are you listening to it? fuck off, we love this music, you don't and i respect that, doesn't make them bad though, go listen to some screamo shit or something.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@convictPKlol Hmm, can your brain not understand I am watching this to hear Sean and any likeness he has to his father? What an idiot. I'm a 60s and 50s fan, you are the one who probably has Slipknot bed sheets.

[convictPKlol]

@Robotdrummerzzk clearly i dont, and you can be a 50's and 60's fan all you like, i couldnt give a fuck, this song is good though, so if you dont like it. clear off?

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@convictPKlol let's clear some things up in your confused teenage brain. i do like this song, otherwise I wouldn't be here watching.

[convictPKlol]

@Robotdrummerzzk is that why you said none of them sound good? fuck off.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@convictPKlol read it again dickweed. my original comment says the guy with the droany voice who I now assume is Rufus isn't good, and I then followed it up by saying none of the backups do.

[convictPKlol]

@Robotdrummerzzk dickweed? how mature, and i didnt respond to that comment, i responded to the one where you slandered rufus.

now, fuck off.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@convictPKlol you're so full of shit. so many holes in your argument. one minute "oh immature" then you're saying "fuck off"? I have said all along I wanted to hear Sean and not the wankers next to him, you seemingly struggle to read. I feel for you bro.

[convictPKlol]

@Robotdrummerzzk the point is, this is a rufus video, not a sean video, and everyone else here loves Rufus, so people fuck off. and yes you are being immature by slandering the artists. telling you to fuck off isnt immature its advice.

I have read everything you posted, the only problem is you have problems structuring your arguement, first you hate all three of them, then you say you like the song, then you say you like sean. make up your fucking mind.

this is over, you can have the last word.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@convictPKlol The fuck are you on about? I never said I hate all three of them, find a quote. I always insisted I like the song, find where I said otherwise. I always said I like Sean (my original comments were saying I was listening to hear any likeness to his father!) LOL. And no, it's a Sean video. Son of Lennon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.rufus cuntwright.

[lennonmccartney8]

@Robotdrummerzzk if you were here to listen to the song, and you're truly a 60's beatles fan, at the very least you'd respect not only their efforts, but their respect for the artist that john was. his son, and two other fantastic artists coming together to pay tribute to the legend that is lennon? peace, man, respect, understanding, tolerance. that was john's message, and if you can't even get that across in a youtube video, you have no business calling yourself a john lennon fan.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@lennonmccartney8 I wasn't a huge fan of John Lennon as a person, by all accounts he was a bit of a dick. I'm very interested in his son's music and I don't really want to hear him drowned out by these two 'singers' standing beside him.

[lennonmccartney8]

@Robotdrummerzzk if you read your previous comments, you said you're watching this to find any likeness to his father. if you don't like his father's music, why would you watch it? also, you said none of them sound good. so don't now change your opinion to support the man you already shot down.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@lennonmccartney8 Learn to read. I said a didn't like Lennon AS A PERSON (it's there in writing). Of course I liked his music.

Your intelligence level is quite frightening.

[lennonmccartney8]

@Robotdrummerzzk my intelligence level? i'd love to talk with you on this issue and actually continue an intelligent discussion, but i can't do it with someone so uninformed and contradictory. if you "of course liked his music", and his music reflected the lifestyle he lived, then i don't quite understand why you think he's a dick. if you want to shoot down rufus wainwright, his legitimate recorded cover of "across the universe" is warmly regarded by beatles fans and the lennons. come now.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@lennonmccartney8 I'm sure the reasons are not needing to be pointed out. He made great music and was the best songwriter of the 20th century. Why should I care if a certain cover is "warmly regarded"?

[adiclm29]

Rufus is so so pretty.

[AnnaBeatles65]

This is just way to beautiful..

John's spirit visited that night. <3

[NAFIANNA10]

best acid trip ever

[FlippyMyDog]

you can hear it, john is singing the song.

[otyuill]

I thought Sean and Rufus's voices complimented each other, but Moby, although I like him as a solo artist, made it sound dreary.

[TheDavidMarshall]

WTF...!!!!! Moby sounds like a bad karaoke singer, oh I guess that's cos he is... who the hell thought it was a good idea for him to sing on this track... and has he no shame...? ..someone tell him to shut the f@ck up...

[thecomfortisnow]

i didn't like moby so much. :(

[idipusmokeshutup]

if anyone else can sing this song it\s rufus!

[hmabrantes]

@idipusmokeshutup what cant he sing?

[Mychannel1314]

@idipusmokeshutup No, its Sean!!!

[CatcherFriday]

Mother of mercy, hail to this! HAIL!

Nothing short of breathtaking and amazing.

[xxiRapeZombiezxx]

perfection <3

[colinchinsammy]

ohoom

[punkonthis]

Rufus is beautiful Sean gets drowned out. Moby messes it all up. EWW!

[Shadowmaster0519]

HOLY SHIT! Rufus Wainwright sounds exactly the same when I hear him sing this when I listen to this song on my iPod.

[ILoveVitas909]

i cried :'(

[Nhoward2807]

I love the level of eeriness Moby lends to this song. It already does have a feeling of longing but this is just wonderful.

[gards2]

moby added nothing to this at all...bad idea having him sing barratone

[omfgitsparis]

Awesome. :)

[fizzyclown]

I looked at Sean and for an instant I thought of John and...

It brought a tear :,(

[dronus]

holy shit john lennons alive??? wtf

[TheIslandtinkerbell]

Perfect!!!!!



[Debsmur1]

I agree.......Rufus.........Yes No one else can cover this song like he can!! Amazing Voice!!!!!!

[johnsongirlwpb]

Uncanny even down to the red in his sideburns miss yah Johnny boy.....

[hupbla87]

I don't know about you guys but I'd kill to have a voice like Rufus Wainwright!

[TheGilbertoCasanova]

Excelent cover niceee ;)

[dannilevil]

Rufus is great, good job!



[loppa900]

:')

[zappadead13]

2:27 the answer to life is right there too bad for jude johnny boy could not grasp the love your son concept

[Cnat123]

Amazing job! Best part, I have to say, is Rufus Wainwright's EYES! :O

[Leturfreakflagfly80]

Where's Fiona Apple?

[MyMatt63]

Good effort to fill shoes that are just too big.

[MonsterConjurer]

must be the greatest pop song of all time

[siguz]

I agree about that moby can't sing, he's brilliant as a musician but not in the singing world

[lookingatcrap]

moby can't sing lets not lie

[JazzmanJeff]

This trio is really good!

[kronos81]

magic!!!!!!!!!!!

[kronos81]

rufus killed id!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrLosfuegos]

Holly shit Jim Morrison singing a John Lennon song with Mr Clean...

That was good weed.

[FredericaBimble]

@MrLosfuegos - thank you for the laugh of the day!!

[MOREIRAVIDEOS]

@MrLosfuegos Very good ! ahuahuahauhauhau

[MomentsDivine]

Thanks for the tip, Ian! Great stuff!

[TheMilagros59]

wonder wonder really

[zeitgeist1958]

Rufus Wainwright-someone asked his last name.

[godelfia]

Ian punnett

[daddystabz]

John Lennon's version is much better

[idonegotold]

COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM COAST TO COAST AM

[rcpmac]

And the torch is passed...

[goldstarhope]

Sean looks like his father!

I love this song

[jjhollywoo]

one of my favoriite songs along with IN MY LIFE, which i requested to be played at my funeral

[MissCherryCherie]

this is so beautiful!!

[Shadowmaster0519]

@mrzombieskeleton1 Long haired one. The one who sings the first part,

[xCandyLOveerx]

If you don't cry, have an orgasm ,urinate or have any other kind of side effects to hear this, you're already dead

[JohnNiemsMusic]

NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE MY WORLD!!!!!!! BEST CHORUS EVER!!!!!!! SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT! LENNON STILL RULES!!!!!!

[xxixxlikexxchickenxx]

I just threw up a little...

[edba777]

Se escucha perrisima

[nickstars]

I love that they are all so different..;)

[flakbac]

sean lenno what a spoiled brat

[angelabagel]

so beautiful, gives me shivers

[winggoddess]

rufus is cute! does he have a last name?

[papernicolas3]

@winggoddess wainwright

[Shadowmaster0519]

@winggoddess wainwright 

[12345678943815]

would've sounded better without Moby, nothing against him.

[61193rwh]

Rufus is a good singer but Moby's voice seems more suited to the song.

[BlueScarfLady]

When and where was this?



[SuzLa1]

They should have had Dhanni Harrison there. 

[OllaRakastaa]

@SuzLa1

i ABSOLUTELY agree

[RaysTrack]

I think Sean have done it solo - he has the best voiceand I think he woudl have doen a more sensitive version. Anyone who made comments about Rufus' sexuality should get into the 21st Century.

[LestHeBecomeAmonster]

Just came across this....wow, I don't know sean lennon did music

[choobuka]

Dhani Harrison >>>>>>>>>>>> Sean Lennon 

[poetrhode]

the sixties reborn.

[speedformercy]

this is the kind of music that changes people's lives

[Innuendo9546]

Can someone tell me the point of having Moby here?

[basher1956]

There are two musical geniuses in this piece and one of them has got a great voice – and can carry a tune.

[SivEdable]

Wrote your own yet?

[mylifeisemo101]

Sean has such a lovely voice :)

[MrBlueplatespecial]

agree with the knitting yoko Comment

[Lykon7200]

very good, but i think if yoko was there knitting blindfolded , screaming occasionally it would really improve it

[jportizjp]

@Lykon7200

hahahah nice

[eksnead]

@Lykon7200 That's pretty funny. Yeah, i agree.!

[katyrus100]

@Lykon7200 lol! Loose the lead singer and Moby. Can you say out of tune??? Sean would have done better had he sang solo on this one imho!

[MegaPanzers1]

poor Sean he's not even mentioned in the top comments, ouch

[JC994]

John would be proud :')

[daveunionsquare]

I could listen to these three forever. Just really nice.

[monteluzGC]

sean really looks like his dad :)

[08ciana]

very good! sean sounded like john

[CaraTheChocobo]

@mrzombieskeleton1 The one with the long hair who starts singing first.

[Leesy1696]

This is an amazing mix of complimentary voices. Moby + Rufus = win

[Grandma4459]

I love this song where can I get it to download? After listening to this version I can't listen to any other. I love Moby!

[Grandma4459]

I love this song where can I get it to download? After listening to this version I can't listen to any other.

[Squeaky1423]

What year was this concert?

[patglo67]

Sean sure looks like his dad, must have gotten mom's voice.

[WillShakespeare2007]

@patglo67 - Sean has a fantastic voice- /watch?v=JuYKC28H-x0

Check out the Friendly Fire album it is epic.

[patglo67]

@WillShakespeare2007 Like this one better. /watch?v=_4dYJ4NFE44&feature=r­elated

Sean was barely audible in this video. Rufus has a strong voice and Moby was warming up for his side gig selling Visine Clear Eyes. But yes, he can sing.

[jizzla1]

Jesus.....Rufus and Sean sound great.....I fucking hate Moby though.....what a talentless douchebag....

[alaespsd]

they made it polyphonic with 3 vocalists! great! :)

[richgilb]

He looks so so much like John - even in his mannerisms. Agh wonderful. It's seeing things like this that give hope - that we can live forever. so to speak.

[jkgc]

fuckin awesome, still preefer Molko`s version

[oleole52]

@jkgc what about Lennon's version?

[gekkewaus]

Faking Moby.. he's not well for this song.

Loved Porcelain though

[jmoney747]

Yeah, god forbid a cover does something different than the original recording

[culturacida]

¡¡¡ A M A Z I N G !!!...

[starcraft108]

i actually kinda like mobys voice but yeah it doesnt work great here

[DennisSyrak]

I don´t understand why anyone can dislike this version . Its the best cover version of the original to my point of view .

If you think you can do better then try to and lets see . They perform this songe very well together and nice vocals.

[Pablito2772]

@DennisSyrak I agree with you, and I've been looking for the recording. If anyone knows of one, please post the title of the CD. It's hypnotic to hear thee three voices.

[bauble24]

Man I hate Moby...

[lucasvanrijn]

The bass-singer sounds REALLY ugly.. it doesn't fit in there

i like it
