When did backup singers become lowest band member on the totem pole? To anybody who feels that Sufjan got slighted here, go back and watch Feist's Letterman performance of "1 2 3 4" and notice the members of the National who are singing backup with her. It's called helping out your friends, and getting a chance to play on Letterman.

It's like the lyrics are hiding his tears. Such an amazing preformance, it makes me cry.

I'd say this is Letterman's best performance that he's had.

how i wish i could hear this live

No one is "too good" to be backing vocals for anyone. He's obviously doing this out of respect for a great band. I'm sure he feels honored to share the stage with them and they're all probably really good friends.

If anyone's seen a better performance on Letterman, please let me know, because this is unreal

To all of you who think "Sufjan Stevens is too good to be backing vocals for The National," let me offer a loose quoting of Top Gun as rebuttal:
Sufjan Stevens: "Hey, Matt. You can be my backup vocals anytime."
Matt Berninger: "Bullshit. You can be mine!"
I like Sufjan. I really do. However, no one is "too good" to back up Mr. Berninger.
