For the first time in about 10 rounds, I actually voted for a winner!

Jeff Buckley

[The Tower]

I can't choose between Jeff Buckley and Rufus... I can't. They're both too good. And they really aren't in the same league anyways.

[JazmenFlowers]

Rufus is f*ing amazing. Love him.

[shackin'up]

the IIIrd. rufus rules.

I get the creeps from the other two.

[Serrart]

Sooner or later I have to start listening to Rufus Wainwright, everybody seems to love him.

I voted for David Gray, his music is rough under a smooth cover and very close to everyday life, an element that always gets my attention.

Romy

[Moony]

Rufus or Jeff???

How on Earth can I choose? Whaa.

Rufus Wainwright seems like sombody I would really like, but what I've heard from him just doesn't do it for me.

I'll give it to Jeff, this time around.

have you heard Pretty Things? it's my favorite Rufus song.

[trackaghost]

Jeff rules. Even Rufus admits it.

[DavidMn]

God, David Gray is fantatic! I voted for him.

[Moony]

It pains me to do so, but I can't vote for Rufus this time.

Jeff is a god anyway.
