Rufus Wainwright - Release the Stars

[THEtinybrat24]

he is truly phenomenal

[PaMairi]

No doubt.... Rufus is weird! I love his music!!!! I saw him live with his father and it was a wonderful moment. Granted, Rufus is not everyone's taste but he's mine.

[frosty7530]

Rufus is simply my favorite artist/composer of 62 yrs of loving music! He surpasses Elton John, Lloyd-Weber, Billy Joel et al. He must have some incarnated genes of Porter, Gershwin, Brecht et al. Thank you for putting this up! Foolsgold is entitled to his opinion, but Rufus just writes an incredable range of music. Just when u think u r seeing a pattern he comes up w/an entirely new concept. He hasn't even done his best work, yet. You folks r so lucky u will live to hear it, g*d willing.

[iChickenCake]

i love rufus! david letterman should have kissed his hand at the end instead of the awkward handshake. hehe. :)

[Whoeverfoundit]

such clarity in those pipes

[jacobdallen]

I love this guy!

[brokenbell1982]

Thats Jeff Buckley's drummer Matt Johnson in the back ground.

[robodog777]

I really hope he releses a new album.

[dancechick007]

I bet the studio audience that day weren't really prepared for a lederhosen-wearing divo like Rufus. Brilliance

[junggirl]

He is a rarity. Like Lucinda said about Leonard Cohen. A rare treasure.

[foolsgoldsoma]

This is still good, however.

[foolsgoldsoma]

He was better when he was doing his piano ballads. This stuff is a bit corny for my tastes. Yes, he still has the talent, but I miss the laid back piano ditties.

[interpolluter29]

"Raise the gates, and let them all come out/Remember that without theme there would be no Paramount". Of all of the lines, this one stuck out to be wonderfully.

[glendasa101]

Look at that stud! lol:)

[KiteFlyingVespa]

Working the lederhosen! XD

[murthax72]

Rofl. My g-parents made me wear something similar when I was 7. Had I known it was cool...

[Eubulondus]

Haha, I love it!

[waynebrasler]

This sound just astounded me when I first heard it. After the "Want" albums I just sort of figured he'd have a tough time following up. Wrooooonnnnnnnnggggg.  A brilliant album of brilliant music start to finish. You go Rufus.

[interpolluter29]

I jsut wish this single had a music video. I can just picture how expensive it would be to have a handful of celebrities involved.

[SoLongAndGoodnight07]

hotness :]

omg!

that outfit will so catch on :]

[doormaker2]

People obsessed with others' sex lives are losers.

[setawolle]

gorgeous

[BenDover6910]

What a gay outfit he's wearing...does he blow his band members?

[mazzy80]

im sure he does

[JCCash1984]

I saw Rufus in August and this was an astonishingly great opener to an astonishingly great show. Love the outfit, of course.

[BenDover6910]

fOR THOSE WHO CALL THIS GUY A GENIUS...SHAME ON YOU..LISTEN TO JOHN LENNON. THIS DUDE IS A FLAMER.

[BeautifulConspiracy]

oh please. theyre both good. How can you compare everyone to john lennon? At that rate, your never gonna find a current artist that you actually LIKE. good luck finding concerts.

and rufus is a fabulous singer and songwriter

[JCCash1984]

And this matters why?

[jeffispeachy]

Actually, Rufus is good friends with John Lennon's son, Sean Lennon. And as for calling Rufus Wainwright a genious... Musically, he is.

He learned to play piano at 6 years old, and has been performing his entire life.

He's amazing.

[jeffispeachy]

btw, That comment was directed towards BenDover6910

[livelife1335]

i can never stop listening to this song

[Alviarin2]

Wow, this is an exceptionally amazing performance by Rufus. I want to go see him again!!! :(

[LexDurham]

Rufus, you take fabulous to a new level.

[dizzydrive911]

I can't help but try to sing along horribly to this song! He's so amazing, he even makes lederhosen look cool!

[thescutmonkey]

A fabulous performance! And in lederhosen. Oh, he is a genius.

[baluchon13]

I share Elton John's and Rod Stewart's feelings about that great artist....He's one of the best ....

[Sue1975]

Come to Barcelona, I love you!Pleaseeeeeeeeeee!

[ladelaeme]

los coros son imprescindibles!!

[mellowdman66]

[MrTeagarden]

[StevieMcKnightLewis]

[blueofdaybreak]

Oh. My.  God. The lederhosen!!!

[inevitabilityHAA]

oooooh the lederhosen!!! haha yessss!! i agree. not enough lederhosen. hopefully rufus will start the trend! :P

[newishness]

Top Notch!

Not enough Lederhosen in the music industry... Not nearly enough.

[Napmove]

OMG, his voice is far better live then I expected.

[mezdp]

Yeah I love it

[fingerless456]

haha, I stayed up really late last night to see this on tv and I was so damn tired and just waiting for him to come on. When he came on wearing the lederhosen, I wasn't sure if I was still awake or had started dreaming :P

[GregorSamsa1987]

He should be sitting behind the piano, it's painful seeing him moving like that.

[tris421]

it sounds kinda dry not as much of a blast in the chorus or as theatrical as it sounds on cd i know thers no full orchestra but yeah.. hopefuly its better when see him live

[weem]

This is my favorite song on the new album; and what a kickass performance! Thanks for sharing!

Doesn't he look handsome in his lederhosen!

[divaqueen]

<333333 this song makes the theatre fag in me weep with joy lol. Thank you so much for posting, I missed this when it was on TV and was kicking myself lol.

[Anotherartist]

hehe seen it on tv late night at half past twelve though i was so tired, why should one not wait a long time for this amazing guy

[kurni66]

Don't look like that to the camera or I will drool over my PC and disolve myself in it... Don't look like that you cruel gorgeous man!!!

[kurni66]
