I disagree. He makes them very Rufus, which is fair enough. He's not the measure of Shakespeare, as he would readily admit. ANyone taking on such work as the sonnets is facing a mountain to climb, but you can't help but admire the man's desire, ambition, confidence and at the same time, if you hear how he speaks of the project, humility. Shakespeare only ever gave one explicit stage direction as to how his work was to be performed, when Hamlet instructs the Player King. Aside from that, he seemd content to let his players get on with it. Now Rufus is one.
she is so amazing
She looks a little nervous but as the song goes on she is so into it and in the end she just run away from stage haha - cute, good job Flo!
What an amazing voice. First I have have heard of her but such a perfect contralto voice.
actually I think she is a mezzosoprano
Really? Okay - i just read she was a contralto! Anyway, she's is excellent.
She is not a contralto. An example for a contralto is Cher, an example for Mezzo is Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Amy Lee.
My favourite sonnet :)
awww I was there
DEUSA DO MUNDO
hermosa! te amooo!
fucking amazing
very nice, as all her preformances are.
His settings of such poetry are so bland and go nowhere

She has a wee bit of an Eddi Reader thing going on there, with the hand movements. Nice voice to, but not an Eddi Reader voice.
nice voice to what? or did you mean nice voice too...
I like Florence Welch's voice, but I miss hearing Eddi Reader. I shall have to look her up now :)
Maybe because she's not eddi reader? Wtf lol too much projection, she's her own artist
