When I saw this show in June, it was a 19th birthday present from my partner. The first partner I've ever had who truly cares about me and doesn't abuse me. I had a really tough start in my life with rough, irresponsible father figures drifting, dying, destroying my mother and I; these experiences carried through my life to this very day. Seeing this show -- B A W L I N G my heart out during Not My Father's Son -- was the only cathartic release I've had in my life of this ache I've held. Putting myself in thigh high red boots every morning mentally is *hard*, it takes everything I have to mask my insecurity and show the world that I'm thriving, not just surviving. Yet, I do it. I find the energy somehow to make it through. This show put such a good perspective in my mind that I use to get me through this shit life, and I am so grateful to Kinky Boots. Anyway, in no more words, this song is... excellent.
Love the new video, I got to hear the song yesterday but I couldn't guess what the video was going to be. Cindy did a great job directing, I love hearing these guys sing together. I have been wishing for them to sing something that wasn't Lola and Charlie and was a real duet. It's beautifully done, Bravo Billy and Stark, you did an amazing job.
Veronika Janotová this version was not Charlie and Lola its Billy and Stark so some of the lines that are specific to the show are gone. The line I missed was the last one, " We're the same Charlie boy you and me "
I just wish that they left the Trump political stance out of it. Hillary was against gay marriage until 2013, she changed her stance for votes, she's not a true ally
People's views can evolve. If it is a step in the right direction, who are we to judge what brought about the change? At least she changed her stance and attempted put it to work. Trump just held the rainbow flag upside-down one time during his campaign and then went on to give national stage on several occasions to anti-gay figures, attempted to ban trans individuals from the military, and threw support to employers who want to fire people based on their sexual orientation. Your speculation that Hillary's change of heart was "for votes" is moot.
Jadugara Hillary only changed her stance a few years ago in the lead up to an election. Bernie Sanders has been discussing it since the 80s. That's what happens when you have a moral backbone. Hillary claims she's in favour of gay rights yet accepted millions of dollars from the elities of Saudi Arabia who support the murder of gays. I'm not a Trump supporter. How does bringing up Trump refute tge fact that Hillary flip flopped for political gain? Of course it matters why someone supports a cause. You want a candidate you can trust. I view them both as calculated clowns
If you're not a Trump supporter, why do you have a problem with an anti-trump poster in the background of a music video? Even though it was used by democrats during the campaign (for both Hillary and Bernie, btw), "Love Trumps Hate" has become more than that, and is now just a generalized anti-trump/pro-love slogan meaning love will always win over hate.
Jadugara For the same reason I hate FOX News, it's partisan bias that ignores the huge issues on both sides. Hillary is no more an ally than Trump. Yet she is lifted up as a progressive icon by mainstream sheep like Lauper.
Jadugara Now you're just playing dumb. Lauper was a major advocate for Hillary. Hollywood is saturated with bitter, tribal Trump opposers who hypocritically ignore Hillary's shady history with gay rights due to identity politics. They'll tear down Trump and brusj all of Hillary's problems under the rug. If they fairly judged both, I wouldn't have a problem. But they dont. I've been a fan of Lauper's music for years and still enjoy listening to much of her work. However, she like much of the regressive left, has become deluded. I'm free to comment on any video I like, this isn't North Korea
This is one of my favorite songs in the entire show and it always chokes me up. Incredible writing.
Probably the most underrated song in musical theatre
This song hits me in the feels every time... my father passed away a year ago and I never got to know him as an adult, and he never got to know me.

Beautiful and by "coincidence" took my 13 year old daughters to an awesome performance of Kinky boots today at the Fox Theater in Detroit.
Sure loved Billy Porter in Pose. And he sure sings beautifully. Really interesting guy.
How have not more people seen this
So beautiful👌🏽😍😍😍
We went to show yesterday on the last night in Northampton and this song really hit the spot.
Too bad this version never played on the radio, because it’s a fantastic song.
I think I actually prefer this version to the version that's in the show. This is fantastic.
I am going to make today kinky boots Sunday for sure!!!
I CRIED SO MUCH
AH THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL
I love the song.
What a shame it is not the whole song. But still so beautiful. I love Billy and Stark. They are so damn talented and amazing.

dottie471 i had in mind part about expections and turning around😇 i think it is rather important one 😊
MY EMOTIONS
Hey God! I don't know why I'm crying in the club right now
Wow so powerful and poignant!
😍
I can relate!
So the music is great but it's just so funny to watch them broodily walking around New York
WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS
Totally didn't catch Cyndi Lauper on guitar during the first viewing....
I just wish that they left the Trump political stance out of it. Hillary was against gay marriage until 2013, she changed her stance for votes, she's not a true ally
