Rufus you have to be one of the very very few celebrities who speaks and acts like a normal person with no ego. You are so talented at writing. Love your songs.
myhomelandSA haha he definitely has an ego but he's so sincere about it, it still feels real and relatable. He jokes about how when his agent called him to tell him that Jeff Buckley died, he responded "....but did you hear that my album is in the top ten?" :D he's very dark humor is really self aware. That's why I love him. He's far from perfect but he's completely real.
This guy is amazing in every sense of the word. Not just his music...............I am so proud of the fact that he is unashamedly gay in a homophobic music industry. He's not gone for the quick fix, he's gradually built up his popularity as he puts it "one fan at a time." Dearly departed Stephen Gately couldve learnt something from him. H Watkins and Ricky Martin wouldve saved themselves a lot of aggro too.
My god, I nearly fell out of my chair with glee when Jonathan started singing. And then again when Rufus joined in. That was brilliant! Jonathan needs to sing more often.
OMG! At the end when he was leaving and crossed the door he didn't know wich way to go.. So funny! Everytime I watch this guy can't help but LOL- I absolutelly love him!
Charlotte Gage, when I first read your comment, in my early Rufus days, I didn’t understand it. How could he be both filthy and sweet? After seeing him perform 30+ times, I understand. He feels no shame, so there is no charge on anything he says. It’s all very matter-of-fact, so comes across as sweet, much like his comment on making lederhosen one’s own.
He's got the Judy mannerisms, too. (in the tribute clip) I remember watching her tv show as a kid. She was wonderful. And he is too! Thanks for posting this. My son turned me on to Rufus--he's got a huge crush on him. And I can see why! What a cutie he is! And I love his music.
This must be the best Rufus interview I've ever seen! Whenever Rufus is comfortable with the interviewer he's always a lot more articulate and funny and a lot less precocious (dare I say? hehe). Agreed about his laugh not being annoying anymore. Ehehehehehe. ...not that it ever was ;)
I'm a STRAIGHT woman and didn't realize that Judy was also gay. Think we should all forget about this straight/gay thing and just listen to the talent that both put into their songs. Rufus' re-interpretation of this concert is just exquisite.
Dear Jesus, if you don't like the way he talks, that's your problem, not his. And if you decide not to be his fan/friend because of the way he talks, then he's better off for not having such an idiotic person in his company.
I love his voice, but... I'm not convinced it's suited for Judy Garland's kind of music... I mean, that's just coming from a STRAIGHT guy who happens to like musicals and show tunes, but still:P:D
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! He is gay! I'd never seen him except for when he performed and I thought he wuz straight! God damn it we lost another one girls! LOL Oh well, his beuatiful voice will console me :P

Ahaha, he's so cute! I love how he talks with his whole body, not just his hands.
He is sooo adorable, yes.
damn.... can rufus wainwright get any cutier! i luv him!
I love watching this interview. He is so funny. 'I don't speak German/English' is a killer. Thank you for being out and 'wearing them down'.
This must be the best Rufus interview I've ever seen! Whenever Rufus is comfortable with the interviewer he's always a lot more articulate and funny and a lot less precocious (dare I say? hehe).

Ahh he's wonderful.

haha it is very funny!!! Thx for sharing:) Rufus is the best!!!!!!!!
LMAO! 7:05 That bit is too funny! :)

Yeah we heard it, thanks.
Go and save your lederhosen!
The lederhosen-thieving is unstoppable!
Yours could be the next!:D
Lalalalalalalala!
The best moment^^
@billrdk50 Do mannerisms matter? Gay or straight he is one of the few non-classical musicians in front of whom I would bow down in awe of his genius.
Originally lederhosen were worn by people of the Alpine and surrounding regions. That's important to me, I'm German ;D Nevertheless I love him.
7:49 Holy crap it's the resurrection of Richard Nixon!!! :-O
haha! "not for six hours Rufus!"
funniest interview ever :P
He says "because they make me look 10" haha
REALLY?! Steam-roll the records!!
Haha. That's Sir Alan Sugar, he's the UK's version of Donald Trump on 'The Apprentice'.
is he the only person who looks sexy in lederhosen? he's fab
heck whats he wearing his JIMJAMS!!
am I the only one whose sound isnt correlated correctly with this video?
this is such a funny interview. and rufus' laugh isn't annoying anymore, haha. i bet they told him he had to learn to laugh better. :)
Dear Jesus, if you don't like the way he talks, that's your problem, not his. And if you decide not to be his fan/friend because of the way he talks, then he's better off for not having such an idiotic person in his company.
Does anybody else think tht Rufus sounds like Todd from the show Bojack Horseman??😂
No, like TinyTony said, he means it makes him feel like a 10 year old.
I know i'm a complete idiot, but does that mean 10/10? It's not normally said in England.
Sorry, what does he say when he goes, "I like wearing lederhosen, cos they make me look t..." what's that word?
Holden4Banky, they make me look 10 (years old).
I know!
:D
you are funny...
I love his voice, but... I'm not convinced it's suited for Judy Garland's kind of music...
I mean, that's just coming from a STRAIGHT guy who happens to like musicals and show tunes, but still:P:D
gosh, watching this, I would never have guessed that he was gay!
oooh
i cant understand it well!!!!
s***t!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
He is gay!
I'd never seen him except for when he performed and I thought he wuz straight!
God damn it we lost another one girls! LOL
Oh well, his beuatiful voice will console me :P
I love his laugh! its so dirty!
