    WHICH ONE OF YOU HAS BEEN HIDING MADISON CUNNINGHAM FROM ME?!?! I heard a guitar UA-camr mention her and I came over to this channel. Young lady, you are absolutely spellbinding. I was just describing you as having a Rufus Wainwright meets Dave Matthews kind of mojo. Your right hand is so good, you've got an amazing ear for arranging...music/vocals...everything. The polyrhythmic stuff you do between your vocals and guitar parts is amazing and you still sing better than most artists. Just when I thought I couldn't like your stuff any more, you whip out a song off of my favorite Rufus album. This is like arranging Burt Bacharach on guitar. Poses came out in 2001, and you are playing it? Amazing. The "In My Life" cover gave me chills.
    Who knew Jeff Foxworthy could play guitar like that?
    I have two friends that have daughters that are young and trying to make their musical way. I linked them to your stuff, and it's so cool to be able to show them a young lady that is pretty enough to get by on her looks and absolutely chooses not to. I'm an old guy that has been playing music for a minute and I am unabashedly a new fan. You are fantastic.

      Oh don't start on 'nouns'. I undertand the difference between girl/woman smart arse. In the Uk we still call women 'girls' as a term of endearment/effection. So poliety bugger off smug twat.

    Amazing. No one gives Rufus enough credit for his amazing music and thus cover does it justice.

      Poses is my favorite Rufus album. I went back and watched his solo version. He pulled off the essence of that complex arrangement by himself.
      The only thing more impressive is to watch this guitar version. Rufus never takes a straight path from chord to chord. There are so many weird voicings that there is no way to play it on guitar.
      Nobody told Madison Cunningham and she crushed it. I've been playing music for 35 years and this young lady blows my mind.

    I am a huge Rufus fan, I think I wore out Poses playing it on repeat. That said, your voice on this.., absolutely elevates this song to a place that Rufus just coulnd't take it.

    Madison is new to me. I hear Rufus influences in her compositions. So this song makes a lot of sense to me. Her writing is sophisticated.

    Real nice. This song is so captivating, so subtly complex, with such dynamic range, and a lyric triumph. Super hard to cover, and you made it look easy. The first Rufus recording I heard was "Across the Universe" on the "I Am Sam" soundtrack (guest singers of all Beatles songs). I was so captivated I sought him out. I found the Poses album and it's such a classic. Thanks for sharing.

    Wanted to listen to "poses" by Rufus Wrainwright, because it's one of my fav title from him, and saw your version while searching.
    This is on repeat since then, such talent ! those chords progression on the guitar are incredible too... !
    this make me feel like a baby rocking in the arms of his mother.

    This song has a beautiful bridge after that long and building A section. Madison's breaking into falsetto on it is so incredibly right for it. I don't know much Rufus Wainwrigh, but this is a a good onel.

    This is everything I was hoping for from an acoustic cover of this amazing song. I've known since I first heard it that it was special (RW version) and I've been looking for a good acoustic tab for it but only come across one.
    Thankfully this video also came up in the results and I found you. Your version is flawless- I love everything about it.
    I first heard Rufus in the Shrek soundtrack covering Hallelujah, but poses was the second Rufus song I loved.
    Thank you Madison

    The yellow walls are lined with portraits
    And I've got my new fetching red leather jacket
    All these poses such beautiful poses
    Makes any boy feel like picking up roses
    There's never been such grave a matter
    As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses
    All these poses such beautiful poses
    Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes
    The green autumnal parks conducting
    And the city streets a wondrous chorus singing
    All these poses oh how can you blame me
    Life is a game and true love is a trophy
    And you said
    Watch my head about it
    Baby you said watch my head about it
    My head about it
    Oh no oh no oh no
    Oh no oh no no kidding
    Reclined amongst these packs of reasons
    For the smoke the days away into the evenings
    All these poses of classical torture
    Ruining my mind like a snake in the orchard
    I did go from wanting to be someone now
    I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue
    Once you've fallen from classical virtue
    you Won't have a soul to wake up and hold you
    In the green autumnal parks conducting
    All the city streets a wondrous chorus
    Singing all these poses now no longer boyish
    Made me a man ah but who cares what that is
    And you said watch my head about it
    Baby you said watch my head about it
    My head about it
    Oh no oh no oh no
    Oh no oh no
    And you said
    Watch my head about it
    Baby you said watch my head about it
    My head about it
    Oh no oh no oh no
    Oh no oh no no kidding
