Mike Longo - "Hold Me in Your Heart" (Kinky Boots; Cyndi Lauper)

[@kitchenscissors9205]

this felt like a mockery

[@RBHC1990]

I wonder why Mike Longo would mock the performance of Billy Porter. It kind of feels like he knew he didn't have the chops to get anywhere near that level of vocal ability so covered it up by camping it up instead. I'm not sure if it's a tribute or mockery.

[@Peter-vn8ue]

yes I agree both Billy Porter and Callum Francis are exceptional as Lola and this guy seems to be mocking the song lets hope he never needs someones approval in his life and fails to get it, then he might understand the context of the Song. Kinky boots was exceptional and very moving.

[@luker.918]

Didn't like it because it looks like a bad parody. The voice is cool but he destroyed the emotions of the song through the performance

[@andrewgoertzel9452]

Exactly what I though

[@kevynhaile1312]

Sorry but how about not even thinking about a white Lola ....How many roles are out ...I cannot even go on chaul please

[@1037pm]

[@TheLKMproject]

He was impersonating Billy Porter

[@1037pm]

I know he was attempting to impersonate Billy Porter, but it the final result looks like he was trying to mock Billy Porter

[@NavyTexan713]

1037pm yeah it was a little much!

[@Ndoggy1127]

Yea he was mocking especialy ktp

[@balletprodigy]

Omgosh I hated this so much. It was a complete mockery. I understand purposely trying to do it but In the end I kind of was left disgusted and felt slightly disrespectful and I don’t know why. Just felt really farce like.

I have now watched this clip 10 times this morning. Your voice is magnificent and I did not expect what you did with the song which i made it all the more entertaining (god, that's a long sentence). So look forward to seeing other videos, but for the time being will continue to watch this.

You don't want to see me anymore. You can't listen to me laugh out loud. You don't wanna see me dance. You can't even take the chance that it might reflect on you. You missed out on the best part of me. The part that made me who I am today. O, but the best part of me is standing in front of you and loves you anyway. Hold me In your heart till you understand. Hold me In your heart just the way that I am. With all your faults, I love you. Don't give up on me. I wont give up on you. Well you took my hand, taught me how to be strong That's where I picked up when we went all wrong. I know that I hurt you, and you hurt me too, but you mean more to me, I must mean more to you. Hold me In your heart till you understand. Hold me In your heart just the way that I am With all your faults I love you I need you to love me that way too.

[@babyshark154]

hmmmm ... no

[@matthewrandell5055]

Bizarre

[@misterreal9620]

Everyone is saying he mocked the performance...no one else even noticing the DIFFERENCE IN STAGES?!?! He is on a much smaller stage, doesn’t have mic like Billy had on Broadway and less room to move. He paid respects to the original performance with what little he had and both their singing are amazing. People just want to get mad at literally everything!! Jeez!

[@BLUEPIRATEGAMING]

Please check out Jordan Michael Todds version ... Absolutely outstanding

[@THEECARMELLÓ]
