One: Rufus is not a French-Canadian but I guess his perfect French diction fooled you there (Dame Janet might learn a bit from him too...).
Two: as for the cross-genre theme, Dame Janet is welcome to cover a Rufus song any day!
Three: to each his own. Some people value technical perfection above all, others value honesty, intensity and plain guts! Who said only classically trained singers should take on Berlioz? Anyway, I was thrilled to see Rufus take on something new :)
Hi Hyper...Rufus is indeed Canadian as well as American. The fact the he grew up in Quebec speaking french puts him to most Canadians as French Canadian.
And you are right - to each his own - my opinion is as valid as yours so I'm glad you spoke up to balance this out!
…is a place for inspiration. All posts will aim to be positive and helpful, even if it just makes you laugh!
…is a place for information. Posts will include information on competitions, concerts, debuts, new music and Canadian singers!
…is a place for discussion. All readers are encourage to comment, correct and formulate new ideas on everything from pedagogy and repertoire choices to why we sing.
…is Canadian. All information will be FOR Canadians BY Canadians.
