Jul 7, 2008 - There seemed to be a lot of lyrics and musical changes when I saw him live. I don't blame the band for having sheet music - it's not your avaerage verse, chorus, verse 3 chord set! I was blown away!

Jul 7, 2008 - I think Stevens should be respected for his music not people's assumptions on his orientation.If he's gay then he's gay, if he's straight well then he's straight.Does it really make a difference? I really don't think so.If Stevens, an amazingly talented artist, is the best person you can diss, then you really don't know that many people.

Jul 7, 2008 - Sufjan can fuck dogs for all I care. It's irrelevant when taking his music into mind, Which is glorious may I add. This man may be the only reason I believe a god of any sort exists.

Jul 7, 2008 - Why does this matter? He's still an amazing artist either way.

Jul 7, 2008 - great artist. I've been listening to his music since 2004... he just gets better, although "Illinoise" (the album this song is off of) is my favorite. This is a nice version too. Oh, and he isn't gay. I watched an interview and he talked about his girlfriend and that he was "taken" by her. Either way, he's brilliant!

Jul 7, 2008 - i LOVE his music soo much this song is one of my favorites

FluroFriends Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I agree. Also in a way you might expect someone as interesting as Stevens to be gay or something, really different in some aspect you know? I find people who are 'different' like that way especially interesting.

Jul 7, 2008 - lol, R Kelly? R Kelly wouldn't know talent if it peed on his face lol.Anyways, The term indie rock is too ambiguous to really mean anything anymore... As for Sufjan, he's quite obviously a brilliant song writer, as evidenced in his work.

matheme Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Just because Kellz isn't a pretentious, "deep" songwriter, doesn't mean his music isn't good pop fun. Your ad hominem joke is as hilarious as it is original, 'lol.' It is not obvious that someone who whispers over the repetitive and pedestrian chords progressions and voicings is brilliant. Someday your children will rightfully complain when you force them to listen to this bs.

Worrallthegreat Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Kelly seems fairly pretentious to me...makes a few worthless videos, as if to say look at me...and then dissapears when no one wants to hear his "music" (assuming he actually writes it). Sufjan does not come off as pretentious to me, he actually comes off pretty humble. It is possible to be good and not pretentious at the same time...And the only music I will ever force my kids to listen to will be RKelly and only when they've been really bad and need to learn a valuable lesson..

Jul 7, 2008 - And dont foget sufjan is Christian! best of all!

mynamekeisha Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - You are of the few. Shut up. Sufjan *IS* brilliant.

ThumbWarDestroyer Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I'm sure he is ashamed of bigots like you, ruining his religion. Do me a favor: if you believe in Jesus, follow his teachings. Or shut the fuck up. Because comments like yours make many people sick.

bhstacey Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - all i said was he was Christian. im just saying what he believes. its not like im ruining his name. i dont think he would mind me saying that he believes in God. if he was ashamed of that then his beleif would be superficial in the first place.

strawberrries Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - It's the presumption that Christianity is "best of all!" that puts people off.

Bimkovitz Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - bhstacey was simply expressing his/her delight in the fact that Sufjan is a Christian (I'm guessing because he/she is of the same religion). Are you all so insecure in your beliefs that you have to belittle someone for their faith in another religion? People get so fucking touchy when the subject of God comes up, it doesn't matter what beliefs they follow. Everyone wants to prove someone wrong.
