Nothing off pitch about him. He does tend to "bend" notes a bit, but then so does Joni. > could it be that i was rasied on broadway tunes? rufus reminded me of a > singing stephen sondheim... Now that's a compliment. And your musical instinct are right on. He listened to Broadway and opera all the years growing up. Well, he IS gay! I have his first video April Fools where he ends up in bed (platonically, of course) with all the great opera diva characters. He also is a HUGE fan of Edith Piaf.
