>>I've seen him on a few shows including the John Lennon tribute, and...to me he sings off pitch and not very well. >>
you know, i'd heard this about him & i do have a pretty discerning ear for off pitch singing but he was was most certainly not off pitch...he had one of the most amazing voices i've ever heard...so i wonder, does he have off nights, was he not able to hear himself in the monitors... of course i only heard him doing a solo thing & two songs with chris, but even if you don't like his music style, i can't imagine not being blown away by his voice...interesting that he has such a wide gulf of critics/fans...that was certainly what i perceived in the audience... could it be that i was rasied on broadway tunes? rufus reminded me of a singing stephen sondheim... ps, i heard no vibrato in his voice either...hmmm... ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
