The 2nd coming of Freddie

The more I hear the guy, the more I am convinced that Rufus Wainwright is as close to Freddie as any living artist in this world. I know they are both flaming gay, but I truly see this as a coincidence, unimportant to my thoughts behind why Rufus is the new Freddie.

Queen fans out there should trust me in checking out this obscure artist named Rufus. The guy has been quoted by Elton John as the "Greatest songwriter alive today." I agree totally with this statement. There is something about his music that is 100% relevant to all styles/perods of music. The guy's style is best described by me as mature, being a hybrid of only the most respectable of music, crossing styles together like never before.

In short, Freddie's genious ability to write a unique song filled with power and style has finally been matched by a Canadian/American singer with a powerful nasal voice, classical to modern writing style and above all, Rufus is a one of a kind talent that creates songs that somehow are always able to grow better each time you hear them rather than grow played out and stale.

This is what I have been waiting for, a current creative force whose music rivals the majesty of Queen's.

I didn't think Rufus was obscure...

I kind of agree with you about him being close to freddie, he sort of sounds like him in the early days.

This can't be true. I'm supposed to be the next Freddie Mercury.

i taught i was his next lover.....

i think I disagree. rufus sounds depressed. He makes some cool music, some that I love... I dont think "Hallelujah" was really his, though, it was a cover...? I thought, yes.... anyway, He's a pretty good musical act out there now, yeah, but to compare him to Freddie is bogus. I'm not meaning to put rufus down but... there just arent many correclations you have except for that their both "good" and "unique" or something. Nasaly voice? no. and nothing really like Freddie's, actually.... and no incredible song that vivals any of Freddie's great ones. there will be great musicians in the future, yeah, but there will be no "next Freddie mercury." especailly here.

Fine, then I'll be better than Freddie Mercury?

If you're better than Freddie.. then you're more than welcome to come to my house some time. ;)

His songwriting skills are million times better than this guy. Its a disgrace to compare someone like rufus with freddie coz he simply isnt ANYWHERE near, oh btw elton johns opinion dosent matter since he cant write music himself

After listening to the tracks uploaded on the link you provided, I'm assuming you're being sarcastic. I didn't hear music....I only heard synths. Shit tons and shit tons of synths backing some singer trying to sound like the dude from A-ha.

Thanks for starting this thread, I need a good laugh when I woke up. Needless to say, Dufus isn't anywhere near Freddie. Ha-ha.

If you didnt hear how talented the songwriting was then i guess you dont know much about music either :)
