Careless Whisper

[alizamzam11]

You fucked up the song

[ANormalGuy]

This isnt really good... He hasnt got the vocal power to do this properly.

/watch?v=_-GNemQ0JTc

Now, this one is proper.

[galawagala]

if they love to sing it its ok, but it will not be the same from george, buy this 2 guys it just someone singing, but from micheal its a song the shake heart....

[HeXeN5]

Good, but you cant be better than george micheal NEVER

[codeino]

como joder una version ... capitulo 1 ..

[davseb222]

some one stuck a banana (or dick) in the 2nd guys throat

[MikevanGils1991]

were is the sax?

[tk110utube]

hope they still have their day job.

Piano guy is improvising the chords different from the original.

Good effort though.

[disprefer]

careful! if you break your arm patting yourself on the back we'll be robbed of all of *your* hit records and original compositions.

oh, wait...

[tk110utube]

Never used my arm for that purpose yet.

I do indeed do original compositions.

To constructively criticize is ok.

Check my home page for an original composition called " The Long War" and comment if you like.

[neonbrowser]

@tk110utube Lol I know it's 2 months later but trust me, they still have their day jobs. and they're making more $ than you ever will in five of your lifetimes.

[tk110utube]

Why do u people make this into a personal grudge match?

This is not a competition. Just my honest opinion about Rufus's singing talent.

Your immmaturity show when you comment about how much i or Rufus makes (or will make). How the hell do u know how much either of us make?

More importantly what's that got to do with anything?

You need to grow up a little to complete your boy to man transition. nuff said.

[neonbrowser]

I AM ANGRY ON THE INTERNET

[Heightofhate]

I find their voices don't really coincide.

Especially the one of Rufus with that other guy's.

[kindergrohl]

anyone who says this is crap then you need a hearing test. awesome song and two seriosuly fucking singers. i mean yeah there are some dodgey parts but its a hard song and its live. tough shit if you deem yourself a critic.

[CelticLark]

Um.... it's cracking me up that so many people are taking this seriously. Have none of you ever heard of sarcasm? Spoofs? They are purposely ruining the song. Listen to how exaggerated their voices are. Methinks some folks need a lesson in sarcasm.

[DemiMondrian]

Ever heard of Rufus Wainwright? I think he tends to be very dramatic and exaggerated. You could also call that passion and emotion. At least it's a quality I love his music for.

[japanesemastertrack]

wow -- i think this is excellent-- i'm very surpised by the bad reviews!

[bigbustyboop]

omg put them both out of their misery leave it to the expert

[Nahedeh]

O M G ..............ahh

[gurucer]

LOL.. I can sing better

[sukmynuts3]

LOL, me too! actually, my 95 year old grandma can do fuckin' way better than this too, LMAO!!!!!!!!

[winofilms]

i think you just have to take this for what it is, an off the cuff cover. brave and entertaining. maybe its because im not a george michael fan that i think this is really good

[rolybling]

Fucking hell they butchered this song, the only saving grace is the guys piano playing which is on point.

[mike584]

oh man they're voices are so lifeless. This song is not them. Ben plays good piano and then the open theirs mouth and just like that it's over. Ugh!!

[nessup]

Where was this video from?

[lucyvers]

Central Park SummerStage in july 2004.

[BMFoley85]

they ruined a great song...neither can sing...amazing that either has had any success outside of the wedding singing circuit.

[vanbakachen]

As much as I love Rufus this was not good at all.. sorry :(

[3rdEyeris]

CHrist! ru's voice is so HAUNTING when it comes in... totally shows up Ben... But Fold's piano is still top notch, as always... cheers!

[fatmaneatcake]

Its amazing how much of a higher caliber singer Rufus is than Ben. Not that I think Ben Folds is bad its just that Rufus is simply that incredible.

[auger54]

C'est flagrant la différence entre les 2 voix, rufus détruit l'autre!! Love Rufus xox

[brennahell]

I never would have thought up that combination but they actually sing really well together.

[Caerlean]

awh crap I have a crush of Rufus Wainright..

[fedroger]

artist should really think about which songs to cover. This is not a good one.

[xhaxhkazulu]

I like Ben Folds alot, but I LOOOOOOVVVVE Rufus!

[sign543]

Rufus should duet with George on this. Love both of them.

[sleeplessintokyo]

folds is a treat to watch

[REEVED31]

Fair enough

[orm84]

not as good as George Michael though

[REEVED31]

Everyone has opinions that should be respected but 'Murtkitty' is full of shit. The pair of them are highly talented and your missing their point completely. You video yourself doin it and then stick it on u tube and lets see if ur any better...I THINK NO!!!!! Pumper

[eigne]

murtkitty's response is completely valid. you can't attack someone based on whether or not they like something, so they disagree, no reason to say that they're full of shit.

if murtkitty thinks that ben sucks and that rufus is flat thats his/her opinion.

I personally love this cover but I'm not going to attack people because they disagree with me.

[NickyFontana]

I agree

I love Rufus but he sings sooooo nasally (he needs to stick to his own material)

[Caerlean]

Um, neither of them are flat thats something called harmony.

[LimboLinda]

Holy shit, this is one sexy rufus video<3

[PuddyKatz]

why is everybody hating on my comment

the fact that this is the gay national anthem is a good thing!

[normamonroe]

it's a beautiful song writen by george michael...but rufus Wainwright has an incrediable voice..and ben is an amazing piano player...if you like Rufus..check out his song.."vibrate"..it's from the Nip/Tuck soundtrack...YUM!!!

[PuddyKatz]

its the gay national anthem!

[cameroncrazy915]

I love this. i watch it my tivo all the time. whats up with the tiny screen?

[erikthomas777]

Ben Folds has a thin tone and is warbling between notes... Rufus has a slightly better tone (if you like nasality) but

is terribly, terribly, pathetically flat...

but guys are singing like they split a fifth of Jack Daniels before going up on state.

[francescogeo]

littlt miss, but is ok,nobody can sing this song better then GEORGE!

[fortunateizzi]

Ben Folds sounds pretty horrible here... which just really shows how amazing Rufus' voice is! This is the first song I heard Rufus sing and was blown away... now I'm a huge fan.

[Anotherartist]

Rufus Wainwright is an amazing vocalist

[ibizaeuro]

fucking wusses.!

[xarmybrat]

too bad the visual isn't better, looks like they were having a blast with this song!

[ChocolateExplosion]

what a pair of talentless twats

ben folds murdered this and twin falls -- two of the greatest songs of all time

[PuddyKatz]

sounding like an 11 year old is what rufus wants idiot!

[clemxcham]

whatever the actual quality, it's hilarious. and makes me giggle every time for some odd reason

[dorothymeg]

what was that? greyone you're right on your observation

[greyone]

ben folds is the guy playing the piano. His voice is decient not as good as his piano plaing but passable. Its rufus that sounds like a 11 year old boy going through puberty.

[auger54]

yah ok I agree.. ben folds's voice isn't really good here! But Rufus is great!

[clemxcham]

its cuz they have very different voices but still they dont sound that bad together... either way theyre both geniuses (esp. rufus!) and anything they do usually sounds pretty good

[Majesticoo]

Omg. when the second guy starts!. I wanna kill him!.

[Majesticoo]

I hate all those fools who think that they can be as good as George Michael. Noone has the voice like him!.

Short story!, George Michael is the KING

[howrightyouare]

I love this more than words can say -- getting to see it live was totally killer.

[WhamSani]

Exuse moi but noone can sing it as George!

[ginonix]

christ, its ben folds, and this aint american idol, its supposed to be a fun thing.

[erikthomas777]

To paraphrase someone else here "I simply can not

believe that so many of you like this terrible, off

key, drunken sounding rendtion of a great song"

Its shocking really and perhaps it shows how

bad taste in music just thrives today. Freakin joke.

Do you people listen with your eyes?

[erikthomas777]

GOD this is TERRIBLE. These guys simply can not

sing! Way out of pitch and out of time. Ben Folds

is awful and Rufus is a hack here.

In the studio, these guys can be pitch corrected, but

not here life...

Simply aweful. These guys should be ashamed of

themselves. This sucks and is just abomnibal.

[rickytshirt]

There is nothing wrong with timing or pitch here. Wtf are you talking about?

[cate260]

just the way rufus says 'together' is phenomenal!

[cate260]

when rufus'voice comes in in the beginning, my heart skips a beat. his voice is fucking killer!!!

[mystic26]

Fucking awesome

[UrsulaBear]

I was second row center when they played this, downtown San Diego, I think they did a slightly better performance that night than they do here. A little to drawn out, saps the passion George put into it.

[DeLiCioUsFiReS]

o.O!!! i LOVE this rendition. i've had this on my iPod for long, this is the first i get to see the video! RUFUS, MARRY ME!!!

[mooocow21231]

i cant believe people actually like this.. how strange. i thought they totally butchered the song.

[2cpus4me]

Your right, this totally sucks. Would be an OK karaoke delivery, but that's not saying much.

[sarahjohn]

Gorgeous...

[Sirenswaters]

dont care for Bnen Folds's voice (sorry people) Rufus beats all.

[keanbean]

this brings back so many good memories of their show i saw in New Hampshire at Meadowbrook

[brittube]

Beau-ti-ful!

[Staccas]

This is such a good cover. Great mix.

Ben Folds looks so diff here. I think it's the glasses. Where/when was this?

[jocelynmyers]

Umm I am not sure where it was but I think this was in 2005 when they toured together.

[geoff426]

central park

[DannyUs]

I saw this performed at wolf trap. IT WAS AWESOME! Oh tflynn Rufus isnt a pianist Ben Folds is, get your facts straight before you make a comment, for the record. :)

[maverick171wrestler]

Eh, Rufus does play piano. That makes him a pianist.

[maverick171wrestler]

Eh, Rufus plays the piano. This makes him a pianist.

[GoAllyGoGo]

Rufus is positively divine. And well Ben Folds, you've got to love him. I would die to see them perform this.

[rantasaurusrex]

saw it twice!

[dawnmarieb]

I can't believe how freakin' awesome this is!

[Silver26J]

the video quality of this post isn't as good as another but the audio quality of this version is soooo much better so thanks for that! :-D

[CaradocX]

This is probably the finest cover of any song ever. They really should release this.

[AriesStyle]

so the video is pixly, who cares, i fooking LOVE this song, well, i liked it alot, NOW I love it. Damn them, so perfcet.

[tubemeany]

oh man. hot harmonies! where is this from, can anyone tell me? what show? dvd?

[DragonflyGoo]

I am a huge George Michael fan...in my opinion, he has perfect pitch. Rufus is AWESOME...he sings this BEAUTIFULLY...but who is this joke of a singer Ben Folds????  He doesn't even get the lyrics right...

[SASR]

Ben Folds is only one of the greatest songwriters out there.

You should also probably remove the stick from your ass.

[DragonflyGoo]

I said nothing about his songwriting, only his singing. Nice manners, btw.

[bobbylawless]

LOL u guys are too funny... but yeah Ben Folds is an amazing musician too :D I've recently falling in love w/ RUFUS Gosh i heart this man!

[Debaser13676]

HEY FAGGOT Ben folds is the greatest artist alive -- ever heard ALL YOU CAN EAT?

[tflynn17]

you can't be serious...rufus sounds disgustingly nasal and whiny here. and for the record, rufus is a joke of a pianist. really.

[ChasYoshi]

This is awesome and not meant to be completl

[rjespo]

I love ben and rufus, but rufus' voice is so much louder and clearer ... it's really apparent live. Ben even says it in the voiceover at the end lol. Awesome cover :)

[Lothiel9]

Thank you so much for posting this!!

[juliteles]

I LOVE IT!!!!

[jlen19]

[andyplayhouse]

[goldnight]
