When Rufus performed this cover for Stings 60th, was his best ever live performance!! He owned that song and hit and felt every note and you cannot peak that. I’ve played that clip about a zillion times.❤️

[@angelaconnor8917]

You sing this so beautifully one of my favourites

[@angelaconnor8917]

Meto it's fabulous

[@The3freemans]

So have I, I've played it a kazillion times. I love him

[@themysticmuse1111]

It's a mind blowing performance! One of my faves by anybody. This is his song. And this is superb,too. Made my night finding this.

[@elizabethstaunton790]

Yes agrees sublime performance

[@pawdaw]

Rufus takes this song to a whole new level

[@bridgetplunkett7630]

Stunning magical voice. Great musicians.

[@jlmww]

Very nice. Both his pitch and diction are so clear! And I noticed that between the first performance and this one, someone corrected his pronunciation of “Charybdis.”

[@bobpovey5689]

What a fantastic voice .superb

[@waynemccrory3772]

I'm a longtime fan of The Police and really unforgiving of folks who tackle covering their material. Rufus' interpretation is absolute perfection. Simply breathtaking. Both the version at Sting's birthday gig and this. Stunning.

[@puturro]

I'm gonna record the whole band around this. Great vocals.

[@joeybenoit6269]

55 seconds in and I'm completely convinced!!! You're one of the best singers ever! Sorry Frank!

[@joeybenoit6269]

I never could understand why Hollywood wouldn't use stings compositions for their movies or anything else entertaining the only thing that's entertaining right now is Rufus! And the reminder that nobody plays sting even jazz stations! That's why we that's why we stream!

[@chaza.2891]

It just looks effortless vocally, just bequtiful

[@clararodriguez-chaves6612]

OMG Rufus!!!! such a SUBLIME version‼🙌👏🙏💘 thanks a million for this precious Christmas present!!💖🎄 p.s. 'What a VOICE' like Sting told you on his birthday when you sang this wonder to him!!🙌🙏

[@robertorodriguez2609]

marvelous...Sting hit it out of the park when he selected you to sing a version that stands out at least as his.

[@Nick-lr9yo]

oh lord this is wonderful

[@joeybenoit6269]

Mr Rufus Wainwright! Out of all my indulgence with sting! Listening to his music over the years that performance you did on his 60th birthday was? I can't see anymore incredible beautiful! It can never be repeated! So I'll listen with curiosity but I know I'll always find myself intrigued with your voice and the voice of Sting!

[@sezgiolgac]

Turns out you can fall in love “twice” with your favourite version of the same song. Magical, enigmatic, otherworldly. The references to Greek mythology within the lyrics seem to find their actual meaning when this song is interpreted by Rufus. So, thank you! ♥️

[@ecuafriendlyproperties6176]

Absolutely delightful! Yummy yummy precious Great job Rufus, your hard work shows!!!

[@mikem2652]

Great version, fantastic voice… 👌

[@markclayton626]

I was lucky enough to be at the Beacon that night, you sang early in the set and you blew not just me and the audience away but the band too, thank you for such a memorable performance, it will live with me and many others for ever. 🙏

[@marianmartinez1494]

[@CarsonRunnells-pr8nr]

Didn’t care so much for the distorted version of such a great song but that shirt is dope.

[@firstbornjordan]

I guess I will have to do this cover :) Just saw Heart of Glass - 1000% better -so good!!

[@valeriegestone2229]

Why doesn't he sound like the concert?

[@beeman9987]

Bruh, he looks like Mark Hamil.

[@sallyrobertson7987]

Why is that Rufus reminds me of Oliver Reed ? Anyway , amazing talent

[@mauropasseri2042]

bravo, meglio di Sting
