Rufus performs a gorgeous "The Art Teacher" on US late-night televison. Watch how he hams it up for the camera/audience on the the word "loved" in the last line. Probably my personal favorite Rufus video. His intonation is really beautiful, in terms of both emotional expression and vocal quality.

  • @meanlittlemonkey If I had known about Rufus only six months earlier, I would have definitely tried to see him in the summer of '06 at Carnegie Hall! Never tire of listening to that performance, by the way. The Hollywood Bowl would have also been fantastic, but I had already used up all my vacation time seeing him several times in NYC and San Francisco. Looking forward to catching his performance at the Boston Opera House in August (and Martha will be there, too!)

  • I love how he can make such a low key sound so magical. The range in many of his songs are in this key but but not all musicians can pull it off the way Rufus can.

  • you are so good.

  • Magnifique.  Rufus, you are a god.

  • 14 people married an executive company head

  • An amazing rendition of one of my favorite Rufus songs. This guy is so incredibly talented. A true original, which you really can't say about most of today's so-called musicians. His songs speak to the soul and really make you think.  If you've never seen him perform live, you are really missing something. Incredible as it may sound, his voice is even more beautiful and compelling when heard live than on a recording.

  • He is amazing.

  • It's so weird I am a straight man but I love this song. I just imagine or I flip the sex parts to woman. This cat is amazing

  • genius

  • amazing lyrics and voice!

  • Very talented man, with an amazing song. Love his piano playing, it's amazing to me. I love it in his song The Dream, Freaking amazing and so is his singing. :D

  • So simple, yet so meaningful. Love this song. Thank God For Rufus Wainwright.
