ok, so once in a while you chance upon a haunting track sang by an unknown singer, and right away, you are captivated by the voice, the way he sings and basically, fall in love with him/her (the music, not the person).

And for me, right now, the person is Rufus Wainwright. And the song in question is The Maker Makes, from the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. OMG i dun think i will ever get sick of hearing that song (but i am afraid my neighbours will).

So me being me, having nothing much to do (at least that's what i tell myself), i google-d him and realised that he isnt exactly very "unknown". in fact he has quite a number of albums under his belt and sang for a number of movie soundtracks as well, including Moulin Rouge and Shrek. And i was so stupid, i didnt even notice i already had one of his songs in my playlist (the one from Moulin Rouge). Hmm, he looks kinda wierd looking.... fugly even, as what my friend lynn wud have said (i like the word fugly... it's like the new black).

ok, and he's piano trained since he was like, a baby.... and was touring with his family since the age of 14... so yeah he's kinda cool.... and it doesnt hurt that he an an incredible voice!

And also, he's openly gay....... wassup with gay people and the music industry, you ask? i have no idea.... somehow all the good singers are gay..... the lead singer from Queen is gay. The guy from Greenday, something armstrong, is supposedly gay, i think. Mark Feehily from Westlife, the only one that can sing in my opinion, came out of the closet a few months back. Erm, Elton John, George michael are all queerer than queer.... and of cos Stephen Gately from the now defunct Boyzone. OMG gay is infiltrating the world!! Kill'em all!! (right.... me being a liberal person, dun really care. As long as they give me good music, i dun give a damn if they are gay, bi, str8 or trans.... hahaha)

ok here attached are some of the abovementioned fugly (YES! i said it again) RUFUS WAINWRIGHT. if anyone is interested in his songs, lemme noe. i can transfer them to u!
