Affectionately referred to by Elton John as “the greatest songwriter on the planet” and praised by The New York Times for his "genuine originality", Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation by carving out his own singular sound. He has released 8 albums and two DVDs to date, as well as appearing on numerous soundtracks and compilations, and collaborating with artists like Elton John, David Byrne, and Teddy Thompson. Rufus’ Grammy-nominated album is a live recording from his Carnegie Hall concert titled, Rufus Does Judy At Carnegie Hall, and was released concurrently with a live DVD (Rufus! Rufus! Rufus! Does Judy! Judy! Judy!) capturing his celebrated Judy Garland tribute performance at the London Palladium earlier this year. His previous album, "Release The Stars," went Gold in Canada and the U.K. Rufus' latest, Milwaukee At Last!!! is a live audio and DVD recording of his performance at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee on his 2007 Release the Stars tour.
Congratulations on your #16 positioning with the top 100 of the decade. You are up there with some brilliant artists, which is of no surprise of course! Good luck with your performances over the next few weeks.
Pendant que j'y pense, as-tu eu des nouvelles de Pierre Marchand dernièrement ? On dirait qu'il est tombé sur la tête... Il fait maintenant partie de la grande famille Quebecor avec les défauts qui viennent avec. Tristounet...
Bravo Rufus pour ta 16e place des meilleurs albums de la decennie... Arcade Fire est en 3e place... ce qui me fait dire: Vive les montrealais et tout le talent d'ici !
just saw you on the tele, artist on canvas i guess; the 'art teacher' you sang me, i cried from duress. put two and two together; you, i've heard before. like emily D's heather; oh, so much in store. thank you for you music. i enjoyed your comment about how to act when performing opera, among other comments and muses of course. ps please be my band camp friend b/c it will be cool (lol), my music page isn't a band its just me and my song writing. i tried to be your friend from the other page for so long now. i wonder why things turn out this way.
Call me confused, but for a while i was seeing like stuff on your myspace page for a new CD called BLACKOUT SABBATH coming out and then all at once, you have like MILWALKE AT LAST out in the stores. I am just curious, is this BLACK OUT SABBATH Cd still planning on coming out or what exactly is the deal? if RUFUS Cant help me, at least can some fan that knows what is up, can you please email me? consider me clueless! rock on RObv3 PS- I love the new version of the ART TEACHER on the new cd!
Having a Mika thread on the RWMB is not an INSULT to Rufus! DO YOU KNOW how MANY RUFUS threads we have on the Mika Fan Club!!!! A TON! WHAT IS AN INSULT though is calling MIKA a talentless twat. WTF - maybe you need to listen to more of his music OR just clean out your ears really good. I can tell you are a miserable frustrated person from you ignorant comments on here. I don't know what happened with you and the Boardies but you have serious issues! There are threads about OTHER artist not just MIKA on RWMB . . . so WHY not attack them ALL- why single out Mika!? He is the NICEST person EVER (next to Rufus) You need a serious chill pill. If there is ANYTHING that is an INSULT to Rufus . . . it is having someone like YOU as a SO CALLED (fan).
Can't wait for November 14. Bass Performance Hall. Release the Stars tour...performance at the Nokia in Dallas. The best concert of my life. Rufus is God. And so delicious!
One of the true talents over many generations from back then? :) to now. Thank you Rufus for being you, and knowing how to use the talent you've earned. Yes, it's all a mystery. But I believe all is earned. You're a favorite and I've only said that once with my new page.
