I felt good about the Billy Porter story…I remember watching First Wives and loving this song sung by him (I didnt’t know it was him back then), and I remember thinking “Why Bette didnt’t sing it?” and I remember reading that Bette had seen him sing it at a party and decided to give him a shot…” Then I remember listening to this song on Celine Dion’s album and I didnt’t feel the same way…this is MY particular story on my experiences listening to this song by different singers, but after listening to this testemony I feel a lot makes sense I it was really empowering the fact that he was the one to honor Bette at this moment…To me, being able to be seen at a mainstream outltet, when you sare not really in the mainstream, is the very essence of Bette’s body of work…and I love it..
XOXO
Yeah I finally remembered it before I saw that clip and I loved the song cause I remember I went who the fuck is that. Then I remembered Bette telling him about a scene in FWC where it would be a pivotal scene and people would hear it so I agree with you. I didnt know Celine sang it. She looks really rough. I feel sorry for her.
