Ya know what- he REALLY can sing but the thing is not just singing, you need to sing hit singles and also have some vulnerable songs. this man sang "Love is on the Way" which if he would have continued in that vein, he could have displaced Usher and Chris Brown (sorry ladies) and even R Kelly- that's just the truth. But since he's a little large and is forceful with his voice, it scares the general public a bit.
when i first heard this version i immediately wondered why it ever changed back for taylor hicks.... this is how this song should always be done (given the talent is available)
Hah, our director has me doing the Billy Porter version of Beauty School Dropout and after watching this, I feel like shitting my pants. There's no way I can live up to a performance like this!
Billy Porter is So unbelievable to the point of fantasy. He has a range, and vocal ability that can have you crying one second and shouting the next. It is a true God send that is able to stand with the greats in sound..like Donny Hathaway, and Luther Vandross, but can take you to church like an Andrea Crouch..WOW!
This guy's unbelievable

I like how Jessica Stone makes her faces when he just goes way over the top. The reaction is "Oh cut the crap." It's hilarious.

I do like the Little Richard vibe Billy Porter gave to Teen Angel. Definitely easier to sit through than Frankie Avalon...

Adam Lambert is a fucking shill. If you want talent, power, range, soul, then look no further than Billy Porter.

@DrFlaxWebFLOO Lambert is fantastic, so is Porter.
