Us black folks LOVE Elton John.
Babaay, if he never wrote anything after Benny & The Jets, that would be the only song I need to love some Elton! That's been my jam since I was literally knee-high-tall- that and Aretha's "Until You Come Back to Me" were the first songs I learned to sing from my mama's 45 records! 😂
That part! We do!
I just LOVE how much fun everybody is having at this tribute! Music is that special thing that can take you out of a messed up world and throw away all your cares and the energy at this show is something I wish we could take and bottle up and sprinkle it all over the place ,🥰
The pianists is having the time of his life and deserves special recognition. And go Billy!
Truly wonderful Billy !! Nobody could have pulled that off but you .
I'd bet that Sir Elton and Mr Taupin never knew that they were writing that song just for Billy Porter, 50 years in the future. What a blast!
The Pianist deserves an award or something !!! and Billy damn our Pray Tell slayyyed !
He's slaying this song in heels i could never wear. ❤❤❤❤
Damn, Billy Porter nails it… unafraid!❤❤❤
Wow… I didn’t know Billy could sing… Slayed it… YES!!!!! 👊🏼💙
Watch POSE….. he slayed it in acting and singing
Didn't realize Billy had such singing chops! He can do it all!
yea he was an r&b crooner in the 90s...Look up the song Show Me
Your late lol
Ha Billy Porter! And best legs (after Tina Turner)
Came here to make a Tina Turner legs comment too. Lol
What a back up band, give them a hand.
👍 It was great to see Davey Johnson there on the guitar 🎸!
@@elainemeyer5062 He's s one of a kind national treasure.
it's literally Elton's entire band (minus bassist Matt Bissonette)
Isn't it Elton's actual band?
I LOVE BILLY PORTER!!!! That’s voice!! Definitely killed this song.
I love Billy. Love how he sang Elton’s song
Billy just exudes pure joy
Fantastic version of this song, his performance gives it new meaning!
WOW! Billy Slayyyyyyyed it with all the other creative talents. Elton & Bernie have truly shared their gifts for music...gifts that just keep giving.🎉🎉🎉
Billy nailed it Elton loved it OMG this rules!!
WOW! That was bloody BRILLIANT! What a stratospheric performance by Queen Bitch Billy P. Loved it
👍 to Billy for going right up to Elton’s face to sing along with him. She wasn’t the least bit fearful to be off the stage upon entering either. It appeared Elton was overjoyed when she did that judging from how he acted (as were the rest of audience)!
Excellent performance Billy Porter. X
Nice to see Davey and the band
🩷 👏 After watching ALL the performances in this tribute, it looks like Elton enjoyed Billy’s the most (also Jacob’s ‘Bennie and the Jets’)! He was up dancing, singing, smiling, throughout the entire song/s. Just like me - and I’m almost 70 - lol 🤩 Not that he didn’t show a lot of enthusiasm for the others too.
Awesome job, Billy!!💗💗💗👏👏👏👏
Wow, one of the best performances ever. What an energy! 🔥💪🏼
ALLLL THIS! Billy is the GOAT!
Billy RULES!!👑
My favorite Billy performance now!
Go Billy!!!
BILLY PORTER❤❤❤ELTON JOHN
Billy I haven't seen such a great performance since Tina Turner !
YES!!!!
OMG so great
Our Tina Turner would have loved this. Way to go Billy best performance of the night. Love it. Thank you.
Metallica stole the show
@@jaydavis284 Must agree they we very good. but second best.
@@jaydavis284I thought everyone else was also 👍 from the performances I’ve seen so far from this show! Each had their own unique style and interpretations of Elton’s music. 👏 to them ALL!
Guess you didn't see Metallica! haha Billy killed it, had no idea who he was, I do now
KINKY BOOTS!👢@@josefcosta8267
Pure perfection. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
*I FUCKIN' LOVE THIS GUY.*
Billy is just IT! Fabulous.
Billy Porter .....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🔥
Just brilliant
now this is how you do it, if youre not brekaing your voice on an elton song youre doing it wrong!
Шикарный ❤🎉
Good job ❤
Billy so extra!
Great time fans, the true meaning of life 🎉❤🎉, time for paaaarty everybody 🎉❤🎉
🤩👏👏👏👏👏
Billy Porter has some great legs! And can sing! All I knew about him before was he is a fashionista and now I'm a fan!
KINKY BOOTS!👢
❤❤❤❤❤
SlaaaaY !!@!!
He's bringing church
I think billy chose this song cause Tina use to do it with Elton all the time lol
3:03 Billy got some ass!
Why does he deviate in some places from the original lyric?
Us white folks too.
Billy Porter was trying too hard.
👎 IMO - NO WAY! Porter performed putting his whole heart and soul into this tribute performance. So much so that even Elton himself looked and acted as though he was thrilled too! At first glance I thought Billy was a woman, and later on I realized it was a man in stilettos 👠 - lol 😆. In any case, I 🩷’d it (and I’m 70ish)! 👏
Elton is Sir Elton for a reason. Sorry, Billy, you’ve been out sung.
This definitely was not my favorite. But then again I am not a Billy Porter fan whatsoever. But I'm not going to take away from nobody else's joy 🙏🏾
great song, but didn't like the performance of the singer. EJ's band was tight as usual, especially Davey
Why didn't you like Billy's performance? He nailed it!
@@itsjemmabond I just don't. Its a personal choice. I think his voice is too thin and not suited to a rocker like 'the bitch is back'. The performance fell short for me compared to both the original and to other artists on the night.
Appreciate his/her singing but not his/her madness
I hate to be a b-ach, but his voice completely failed at the end, and that's the stone cold truth. He knows he has an acid reflux issue, and it was an unfortunate mistake to try performing this number.
What a joke
