Billy Porter Lost His Voice To Severe Acid Reflux, Leaning Into New Rasp
"Somebody needs to be preached to! Because the world is a mess!" Billy Porter reacts to being labeled "too preachy" in his fight for defending LGBTQ+ rights, and shares the importance of not allowing anyone to police your response when fighting for what's right. Billy also dishes on the evolution of his singing voice following a severe bout of acid reflux, and how he channeled the power of his unique self in his new album "Black Mona Lisa."

Kelly Clarkson may not be a fashion person on her own, but she has great stylists for her public face. This is one of my favorite Billy Porter interviews. I think it comes from mutual respect.

Yes! I love it! As who are YOU to tolerate me? How magnanimous of YOU to accept ME!! No, thanks. Keep that. Treat me equitably, and I'll treat you the same. No more, no less.
I absolutely LOVE Billy Porter. This was a great interview.
What a beautiful interview. Thank you Billy Porter for your gifts - for your singing/writing which is amazing but mostly for your political voice in all you do. Kelly, thank you for using your power/influence as not only a white, cisgender, southern woman but as a STAR! Love to both Billy and Kelly - you are amazing.❤❤❤
Loved this interview so much ! You can see that they respect each other. Billy is so intelligent and speaks of compassion and acceptance with such passion. Kelly has really grown as an interviewer. I hope she does more of these longer one on one sit downs. Her 5th season has gotten off to a fantastic start!

I can relate,Billy .I had Acid Reflux and I lost my Voice for 6 Months and of course I had to be operated on to have a look inside my Stomach and Chords.What ever they Fond inside they just took a little niblet from my stomach chords to send off to the lab . All came back negative and was determined Severe Acid reflux.Yes my Voice was never the same but I have a Knew Voice now and Loving it.

My God Billy is my spirit twin.... 1st, I had a great Aunt Dorothy, 2nd I'm a black Queer man who sings, 3) I've had to fight Acid Reflux and adjust to my new Voice that EVERYONE loves. 4) How I dress is ON PURPOSE
Dang I am a huge Kelly fan, but I have to say objectively this interview is just amazing! She’s gotten really good at staying open and responding appropriately, matching energies etc. Billy Porter is also an icon and so wonderful and magnetic, truly a fantastically produced, hosted and presented segment by all those involved!

Great comment. Totally agree. Her humility and professional respect for her guests comes across as very genuine. She is a true gem, and majorly talented.
Billy made me cry. I screaming at the screen, "Billy! You are enough! You are AMAZING!" I see all the small minded people trying to dismiss the LGBTQ community, just to make themselves feel better. It just needs to stop.
I really appreciate an intellectual discussion that doesn't hold back on vocabulary...intellectual respect for the audience is evident...thank you!
I absolutely love this human being, Billy Porter. Amazing ❤
This is why i love billy porter. ❤
I have gone to church with my two idols in the same house!!!! They said what needed to be said!!! Periodt!!!
If any of y'all wanna hear how Billy Sound before The Acid Reflux...He has a cover of "Only One Road" by Celine Dion! THE BEST COVER OF THAT SONG EVER!!!! His new voice is just as amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m screaming… like Kelly went from being one of the greatest singers to eveeeeer🤩.. to bring an incredible talk show host. Guuurl. You’re a gift . And Billy, your work has just began, I’m glad you now have the stage to preach gurl.
Billy Porter is an amazing human being. I have dozed him for years and my admiration grows every year ❤
“Because they have ears” love you Kelly!! 😂❤
Thank you, Billy! You said things about self acceptance and love that this 53-year-old woman really, really needed to hear! Bless you!!
Bro I have had severe acid reflux on and off for the past 3 months and trust me it also causes pain in my throat from time to time I think this video is a sign for me to take serious medication help...
I'm so glad I'm alive in the same time as Billy. So beautiful
Billy Porter is so far beyond 'enough'. What an amazing and beautiful human being 😍
Yessss, Billy Porter! ❤
I love this guy. He is an icon in the making.
Billy has such an exquisite way of expressing positivity and self affirmation that it’s just empowering! We don’t need permission to be ourselves. I agree that the word tolerance is denigrating because it is the same as saying “to put up with. “ and that is not showing respect it’s just another way of invalidating another person’s existence!
Well said Kelly and billy love y’all ❤️❤️👏👏x
Billy Porter is a star! I love him so much!!
His message was so wow! I just love hearing what he had to say. ❤❤❤❤
Two beautiful artists!! 🎉❤
I love Billy's style of dress. I love the mix of feminine and masculine that he embodies. He does it right.

@@theunknowncommenter725 as if your idea of what a real man is matters to anyone but you… no one cares, we all are gonna love and are gonna die, if you spend your life telling other people what they are supposed to do and aren’t based on imaginary rules then by all means have fun, but you have no say over anyone else’s life nor will you ever.
I REALLY love the way they word and phrase all of this - and I agree; We need to put more respect and love into the world.
I would love to have Billy and Kelly over for a southern supper. I’m from the south and I would show out in the kitchen and we would eat and have a great time and fellowship!
Kelly has nice stylists to help her. Love that she transformed her physical and metal since 2022. Billy is just an icon. Live in truth.
Billy I love that you said that you respect. He does he never judge me.
Kelly you have your own distinct voice and Billy is spectacular always ❤❤
Whoa! Billy Porter! Preach my brotha. I agree with you 💯❤
Kelly you are looking great, New York New York!
This is my interview EVER!!!!
For a few years now, I really think Billy Porter is my fairy godfather. I followed him for years, since the 90s, because of the vocals. I didn't know his journey until more recently. One of these days I'm going to end up a pumpkin and then he's going to find me.
Amen! Billy! Very powerful 😊 incredible word's of truth! Huge courage and respect 🙏 f..k politics 👏
Billy Porter could be a preacher ❤️
6:52 is is just a gem Billy is a treasure.
Thank you Billy Porter ❤
Magnificent 😊 connection and dialog between 2 such beautiful, authentic souls.
He looks younger and younger as he ages. I enjoy his interview
I CAN NOT get enough of Billy Porter I could listen to him for hours😍
This is quite emotional and inspiring❤ loosing your voice is devastating I must say. I love the old and new voice. You strong Billy🙏

This man is a national treasure
Love him, he is is larger thatn life, his life story is inspirational! ❤🔥❤🔥

Thank you Mr. Porter, I keep telling these Dr.’s that my voice is going due to acid reflux. You confirmed what I know.
Very powerful convo
Yass! Kids who can grow up in an environment where they can be anything they want and to also learn to love those who are different from them.
This Man Is EVERYTHING That U Embody & EXUDES & Put's Certain Ppl To SHAME That Think they know it ALL In these Perilous Times that we're facing I had & once started reading his autobiography & I started 😢 from the very beginning of his childhood being bullied & accepted & dealing with the health Christ issues with his Mom Mannnnn Kelly U DEFINITELY Put this one here on the CHARTS & for the RECORDS Much Continued Success Mr. Porter U Are Truly A Light At The End Of The Tunnel May God Continuously Spread His❤On Your Future Endeavor's😊🫶🏽

He is my fashion icon ... i LOVE LOVE LOVE his taste.
I'm glad I watched this. I have not always been the biggest Billy Porter fan but I do see him now in a different light.
It's sad that in today's world so many that are their own individuals are treated like they don't matter....sad really as being different....being yourself is being an individual...which is a good thing❤ The labels that others try to place on us become totally meaningless once we refuse to wear them....❤
Kelly's looks great , she lost weight , and Billy is doing his thing❤
I think this interview just won me over to the Kelly side.
I'm a Billy Porter DAY ONE fan! I'm talking from the 'Star Search' days. I knew SOMETHING had changed, but wasn't quiet sure what... BUT GOD!!!! See THE GIFT remained the same. When you can sing, YOU CAN SING!! Billy still sounds amazing and can sing the house DOWN!!!! We love you Mr. Porter!!!!!

A Capa high School me and Billy had so much in common. I had no idea he was a victim of a stepfather like myself. Billy when you walk down the hall you were on one side by the lockers and I was on the other. I'm so happy we didn't condem each other.
Both really talented artists with powerful messages using their time on the world stage for good.
He is talented...Any other thing going around him is his business
