  • Amazing what he doesn't do with his voice.

  • Oh for heaven's sake get real. Opera singers all sing without amplification and get heard over 60 or 70 musicians in the pit, plus they don't sing FLAT!

see all

  • Faggot!

  • Do people actually pay to hear this guy? He must have studied with Paul Potts.

  • Yeah fail on the performance; but props for introducing the song to the audience; it would have been nicer if he did not have all the arm movement; it almost felt as if he was spoofing the song or trying to do it 'ironicly'. It was rather leaden. Listen to John Gary's verson. John caresses the song. You feel as if he had lost the lass himself.

    Still I'm glad he felt it was worth putting out there.

  • @YouEffinSuck2009 : The pot calling the kettle black.

  • "I AM a singer with PERFECT PITCH! This is AWFUL and OUT OF TUNE!!! Hideous! TRULY HIDEOUS!!! ... Plus, he really needs to be on "What NOT to Wear"

    Ahahaha, hahah, hah. Ha. No.

    Jog on son. He's no Mario Lanza, but he's one of the best songwriters of our generation, a genuinely charismatic performer, and is doing more to progress popular music than one can really give him credit for. As for not knowing why he's wearing lederhosen, that's ignorance on your part, not fashion advice, you prick.

  • His voice? Not conventional by any means. And some people hate it to be sure. But his song writing is so brilliant, and the intensity and immersion into his performances so authentic ... I have never been to a concert where you can literally hear the audience holding its breath. In rapture.

  • RUFUS IS AMAZING.

  • Now, how many albums have YOU released, mister perfect pitch?

    ha ha ha.

  • Total rubbish. How can this be called singing?Such a beautiful song simply murdered. The great John McCormack would surely turn in his grave to hear this shameful

    contribution.

  • oh god, he's butchered it. John Mc Cormick spinning in his grave.
