R's | Reviewer: sacha ------ About the song Complainte de la Butte performed by Rufus Wainwright I'm french, i live in france, and his r's are just perfect, not rolled, but not that gutturals: if you listen to the original song from 1955, you realize that RF's r's sound even more french than the original ones! French singers like rolling r's in this kind of songs, when it's about love and topics like that. possible confusion | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Complainte de la Butte performed by Rufus Wainwright Maybe people are confusing the concept of rolling r's with the back-of-the-throat sound that is essential to proper french pronunciation.

French | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Complainte de la Butte performed by Rufus Wainwright A lot of people don't realize the differences when singing in French. For instance, in classical French music, syllables not pronounced normally are pronounced. Even fellow Frenchmen interpret certain pronunciations differently when singing. But Rufus is French-Canadian so I'm not sure if there are any differences because of that area's differences when speaking French. Original | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Origin of Love performed by Rufus Wainwright The original done by John Cameron Micheal is better. The lyrics are the same, but the song is much better in the original.

AMAZING | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Complainte de la Butte performed by Rufus Wainwright I love this song and of course the movie. I don't speak a word of French, thus I would love to find the music to this piece along with the correct pronunciation of the words. Then at least when I attempt to sing along I will know how to say some of the words. Rufus is the man, but so is Jeff... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Rufus Wainwright Guys..i believe Rufus to be one of the best songwriters of this generation. He's unbelievable! BUT he doesn't hold the best version of this song (in my opinion of course). Check out Jeff Buckley's version of this song off the "Grace" album.
