Rufus Wainwright performing Irish folk song

I don't know how to spell it. Mekushleh? Either way, it was the one song he performed without a mike, so the sound quality is phenomenal on this clip. Full song.

This was filmed at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie.

This kid has a beautiful voice. His critics should try to listen carefully again. He may be a little over dramatic but he carries the song very well. Please keep singing and continue to provide musical pleasure for those who really appreciate music.

It's 'mo chuisle'. They spelt it wrong in Million Dollar Baby. The literal translation is 'my pulse'. The full term of endearment is 'a chuisle mo chroí' = 'o pulse of my heart'.

I liked Rufus Wainwright until I discovered he sings in the saaaaaame draaaaaawn ooouuuuut waaaaaaaay on every song... and I stopped liking it. It's just too dead beat.

A woeful attempt at making something out of nothing. Not Irish and not a folk song.

this isnt an irish folk song , its one of those dumbass fucking music hall tunes that have absolutely no realtionship to irish traitional or folk music that were , for reasons as yet still unexplained , aimed at an irish immigrant audience in the United states and Britian a century ago . Very few , if any of them , were ever written by an irish person .

Rufus is a tit man

Pure shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

That's the usual transliteration.

is he drunk..??

It would help if he really opened his mouth as keeping it nearly closed makes the vibration/voice nasal. Hope to see him again, but with a clearer projection - well done.

He is some form of demon that can only be slain by a silver dagger!
