Fabulous and a wonderful tribute to the peerless Judy Garland.

FANTASTIC SHOW-Rufus is wonderful singer ,showman...and dancer !!!!!

I think Judy would watch this and love it! I can just see her laughing and joining in! Fantastic!

I was in the front few rows for most of rufus' set, but have to leave when this started, such a pity... it was such a great atmosphere, his has to be one of the performances of the festival for me.

Brilliant video. Can't wait to see him in October in Glasgow.

Fantastic as ever ... get happy 😂,!

Rufus that's wonderful. Wish I'd been there. Just got 'Milwaukee at Last'. I have to laugh every time at you and fans up on the stage and especially with your fantastic band doing 'Judy Garland'. You're fantastic. xoxoxoxoxooxo

R.I.P., Mr. Julian Sands. Rufus Wainwright "Gets Happy" here in your home UK.

I love Rufus and I love the fact that he worships talent like Judy Garland But what I love most is that even though he's talented himself he shows what a total genius Judy Garland was - she made this stuff look so effortless and he shows its tough to pull off the way she did

I never expected this rendition when I opened the link, but I absolutely love it! I thought it was very cute and funny. My mum commented that he has very nice legs for a guy and that he dances pretty well in those heels :P

I do believe Judy would have really enjoyed this tribute!

WOW didnt know he had done this , i am now a true convert , and also am glad I am not the only Wainwright that drags up.

I saw him 2 nights ago, and he did this performence, he was amazing.

He is my hero!

not only the campest thing ever, bloody brilliant especially seeing him do it live in the old vic.

exactly what I was thinking!

i love judy and rufus is the only person i would let sing her songs. i love them both.

on a sidenote, to everyone complaining about his diction, that's just his style of singing if you listen to the rest of his music. he's not trying to BE judy or be better than her, he's trying to do a tribute to her. he'll still sing the way he sings.

I was there. It was wicked and he's got a cracking pair of legs.

rufus,i love you

Thank you Artwaycon.

fab!

I freaking love this guy.

His legs are to die for..LOL.. X :)

Saw this live!!! Made me smile at glasto all weekend!

Saw this in Santa Rosa and loved every minute of it...he is so very cute...

judy would have loved this!!! i can hear her laughing and applauding-marvelous!!

It's impossible not to get happy when Rufus sings! Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Saw it live, brought big happy smile to my face

Oh wow, this is the best thing EVER. Oh my god. Thank you for posting this.

The dance is brilliant. I literally keep coming back to the video to hear Rufus sing over the band who may not have the happy feet skills but are trying really hard in this dance number.

rufus love jou

He is the best-- and such a great tribute! Let's celebrate Judy!!!!!! Thank you Rufus. The best. Anyone who doesn't get this, go hate yourself somewhere else where we can't find you.

Thank you! I have relatives who saw him on tour doing this and I wanted to see it for myself ... now, thanks to you, I have :)

The only thing I hated about this: his legs. They're better than mine!

Go Rufus!

Oh remember this is someone who really loves her and is NOT doing drag camp but. cut him some slack he truly reveres and loves Judy. -Amanda

this is a very tongue in cheek commentary on gay life and intentionally campy--ADORE IT!!!!! rufus has a one in a million voice!

Pisser, great legs, great heels, great song. Long live Judy. Love ya Rufus.

i loved it when he did this one!! omg i'm a total rufus adict!!

Great song, thanks for sharing. :)

He was so good!

only rufus could do it, amazing

WOW! I AM BLOWN AWAY!! I love the whole Rufus does Judy thing. Big fan of his, not into her, tho. But DAMN!!! Rufus looks GOOOOOOODDDD in black stockings and heels!!!

I love you Rufus Wainwright.

AHHAHAHAHHAH YES YES YES!!!!! I love hiiiim

omg lol! great performance!

Excellent

cute....how can you like not love it! i

Oh yeah, forgot about that! I wish they'd included all the stuff where he sat on stage in a dressing gown putting lipstick and earrings on too. And everyone thinking "what's going to happen now?", no one expected THAT.

Those legs are to die for...almost as good as mine..X :)

gerardocf, I think you are so jealous. Many adore him no matter what. I loved watching the usual dry musicians move. He is having fun with songs of a gay icon, and now he is working on an opera for the MET! Yes,my dear gerardocf, the METROPOLITAN OPERA house in the NYC!

Is that Boris Johnson ?!

Look at those pins! ;)

Ooooh! Look at those legs!! I love you Rufus!!

Anyone got any other Rufus vids from Glastonbury? Seen him twice this year - so good!

this is so cool! plus, he has nicer legs than me! :) i love rufus!

I remember watching this live - was an awesome suprise, everyone was confused why he was wearing a dressing gown throughout his performance, but it all made sense at the end! he might have messed up his lines because power stopped halfway through and he had to start again

Always loved Judy's version, but Rufus comes close. Love it.

I only watched This guy because Arcade Fire were on next. I'd never heard of him before, but he was pretty cool.

you know you love it (im british)

ya i have the cd and dvd too, but i want the performances with the costumes and dance routines, like on this youtube video. are these on dvd too?

Does anyone know if this is available on DVD or something? I bought the Rufus does Judy DVD one, but sadly, none of this cool videos with costumes and the whole dance routine are on it. Still a great DVD, but I want this toooooo. :(

Für alle Deutschen Rufus Fans: erinnert er euch in diesen Outfit nicht total an Bully, wenn er sich z.B. in sein Sissy Outfit wirft, die Haare, die Ohrringe, die Mimik... auf jeden fall tolles Lied - great Song - Rufus is Genius

He's got better legs than me!

His moves are based on Judy Garland's my dear.

Could he be any more awesome?

wow - I'm gay - but come on. I know that gay guys are supposed to love Judy Garland, and I do, but Rufus is just trying to show his love for her, not trying to BE her. He knows he doesn't sing like her - its a tribute! Not vanity. I love it!

Amazing legs! Betty Grable would feel threatened! LOL! Rufus is always full of surprises, and always good ones! Bravo......or Brava.......????

how COOL (do you mean with "mimes to his recording" that he is lipsyncing to the record?)

amazing.but then check out gypwin who'd love to play at glastonbury

lol! This performance is on anti-depressants! But I love the concept :) And the execution. It's so surreal... but that fits, for a song which is simultaenously saying 'get happy,' and 'you're dying!'

why watch it then?

Do you think he might be a qweear?

@TIGGYY1 I think he IS Judy. Reincarnated.

"we're going to the judgement day"? he screws that line up a lot. it's "get ready for the judgement day."

well to be honest he probably isn't trying to do her justice...it's a cover that he has arranged himself

Music is subjective. U have a right 2 your feelings. Fortunately, Rufas is getting hotter by min. U & mmdillons have agree'ers; fortunately for his fans -- we are over the moon w/him. U won't stop his train! Don't even try.

"Howvivid", Did you know that Judy Garland's daughter, Lorna Luft shared the stage with Rufus at his Hollywood Bowl concert? Rufus' show is a celebration of Judy's work, and a wonderfully entertaining show, too. If you don't like Rufus' voice, why bother commenting on this web page? Watch & listen what you do like, and leave the negativity behind, please. All the rest of us know how fabulous Rufus really is with his rich tenor voice and magnetic stage persona. :-) ;-)

Haha, Rufus isn't the best lip-syncer. I suppose that's probably because he's not used to it. But, alas, I still love that man.

I like the idea of reworking this song, and it's especially amusing how the costumes and dancers mimic the original movie, but... Rufus doesn't have the voice, and he messes up the lyrics too. So this doesn't get my top vote.

Is that bojo dancing

hes a very good singer and i think this is an amasing vertion shame of u for not knowing talent when you hear it !

what annoys me about rufus in all his Judy covers is that he mumbles..where Judy spent a great many years perfecting her diction.

Does anybody else think he sounds like a kazoo?

noooo..leave the song to judy...PLZ

They should have put a wig on him...... That would b funny :-D

i want that to be me. weird, maybe?

Sounds like bad karaoke to me....the ground may start moving at Ferncliff after this.

Does this make me gay? J.

No dumbing down and being a tone deaf no talent is madonna ripping off Marilyn, Marlene and everyone else and giving no credit where credit was due back when she could get away with it. You may not like Rufus but it's NOT for commercial shits and grins. LIza did a few of her mom's songs during "Minelli on Minelli."

a complete imitation of the dance and the musical arrangement is not art on any level. I love judy. I didnt know much about rufus. But Im afraid he might just be as shallow as the majority of artists these days. Makes me sad.

Am I the only one that finds this kinda disturbing? I don't have a problem with people re-doing tunes (otherwise they just die out with the singers), but completely copying them is just lame and un-creative.

Just no.

people pay for this???? i dont get it! whatever?!!!

He's not that good and he's playing the shock card of a dude wearing a skirt as hard as he can. Meh.

I just threw up in my mouth a little...........
