OH Gavin... let me guess... a scared white dude? THAT is a lot less scary than DRUMPF being the F%^&$ PRESIDENT! THAT is a nightmare the planet has been afflicted with.... THIS was an inspiring performance to remind people they have to stand up to the real SCARY stuff in the world.
Magnificent! I've done several shows with this guy. He is amazing and I am so proud of and happy for his success. He is really making a difference in the world.
Having seen his full show, all 24 hours of it in Philadelphia last summer, he is toning it way down for this. You really need to see him live, he also relentlessly interacts with the audience which you either enjoy or you fell really uncomfortable about.
How can anyone dislike this video? Amazing! a strong message for November regardless of your political persuasion. We need to remember that elected officials are ELECTED.
@@Mayabee321 It can never be said too much - Trump's "win" was entirely preventable but too many folk didn't go and vote. At least he makes a great example of "this is why you can't leave politics to 'someone else'"
Oh.My.God. This might have been the most perfect thing I have seen in a very long time. I mean, Patti Smith + ALL OF THE GLITTER + Taylor Mac and THAT OUTFIT IT IS THE BEST I CANT OMG MY HEART! And the dancing! This is perfect.
This is so appropriate as a revolution song for now. If Bob Mackie were to design his costume, this would definitely be the supplies to use in this day and age. Everything can be purchased in the Dollar Store. Is his name Taylor Mac referring to Bob Mackie? This song by Patti Smith is the fantastic choice for describing what we need to do. Why is America the way it is now? Nobody has the guts to tell the gov't that we are the majority and we call the shots. And it covers the LGBTQRST issue.
@@kombinatsiya6000 I think she's actually aiming for the broadway type of strong voice.. which doesn't exactly hit the mark, but I found her very entertaining and she certainly loves what she does and it comes out in her fervency.
@@stephss Geeze Steph... I'm not attacking her.. .but I AM allowed my opinion... and I already said that I found her very entertaining... lighten up a bit.. Go take your meds.. find a frozen cuke or something..
I think sometimes the voice doesn't matter; the performance is what matters. If you really thing about it, a lot of famous singers don't have a great voice (my favorite example is Johnny Cash) but we love their songs and their personae :)
Ah Taylor Mac, smashing convention and brining a weird if powerful voice to the non-binary community. You might not get or appreciate what judy does, but you can't deny you sat up and took notice of judy's performance.
I had fallen asleep watching the television. It was late and I awoke feeling groggy. As I focused my eyes I was greeted with this. As surreal, strange, and ... creepy as this was, I was transfixed. The message is actually powerful. Maybe it takes the absurd to call out the absurd. Well done.
All y'all haters, what are YOU doing to implement changes. What platform is your voice being heard through? Sucks to be a nobody and a UA-cam troll, doesn't it ?
Just saw Taylor Mac Christmas Sauce in A2.... Patti Smith Detroit roots after marrying Fred Sonic Smith . (MC5)... His back up singers here are Detroit Ann Arbor roots. Steffanie Chris'ten and Thornetta Davis ..... It's all too much..... Detroit Rock City...... Taylor Mac is a performance artist. Very challenging to audience ... I thank Taylor for introducing me to the greatest Christmas Song Ever....( not Mariah Carey )..... The Pogues Fairytale of New York.... He had audience up on stage with him singing a rollocking Christmas Cheer.
Kostas Kotidis Ummm I wasn’t going for that but good for you? I was just gonna say the act was trash but opinions are vary. I don’t have much of a opinion beyond the entertainment value of this video, but I’m sure you’re not alone where you stand.
T Electronix I didn’t really talk down on the “message”, mostly just how lackluster the performance was in my opinion. But I’m not a fan and I gave the video a view....oh well. Maybe next time I’ll like a different performance.
I like the idea of the show, but this version of this song is a bit too growly for me. I'd like it better if Judy were a bit more selective about where and how Judy adds texture and emotional emphasis to the lyrics.
@@tommywiseau_ Nothing wrong with glitter but the costume looked lame and the song kind of sucked. It seemed like what they were promoting was man's transgenderism rather than the singing about or the music. I remember Queen who wore crazy costumes and Freddy Mercury who was gay, but that wasn't the focus. He was just an awesome singer with great music. Not sure if you understand the difference.
@@SociallyTriggered You do also understand that in this case the music is just a means to transport the message, right? I kinda get the whole "I wish the gays would just shut up and take it" mentality but uh... well, they don't.
@@onkelpappkov2666 I get that completely. Music is a great propaganda tool. Look at John Lennon's song "Imagine". It is beautiful catchy song that seems so inspirational. But it is really promoting communism and open borders and the end of nations.
@@SociallyTriggered I really don't understand why you would call it inspirational. Isn't it directly opposing your ideals? I mean the guy was a total leftie with his purported ideals of peace and freedom. I'm under the impression that you are more of a nationalist type. Am I mistaken? What makes the song inspiring to you?
This is Mike Pence's worst nightmare.

No, this is my worst nightmare.

I wish I could have seen it live! My goodness - I would have loved that!
Tell me where, please!
Or you feel both by design! I saw 12 of the 24. Quickest most engaging 12 hours of my life.
Great song for Nov 6 anthem....❤️🙌🏻

Go out and vote this November! It’s the most important election we as a country have ever had
The 2016 one, where people could have voted to prevent Trump getting to the WH, was quite important, too.
T Electronix that’s obvious, but yes. Thank you for reminding us
@@Mayabee321 It can never be said too much - Trump's "win" was entirely preventable but too many folk didn't go and vote.
At least he makes a great example of "this is why you can't leave politics to 'someone else'"
Also three members of the democrats let Trump to be president as well.
Someday I shall see Taylor Mac live. This was fabulous.
Seeing Taylor Mac twice was genuinely a life changing experience for me 💜
I've always loved this Patti Smith song. Taylor Mac's performance took it to a whole new level. Loved it.
love that taylor mac and the full crew are getting some great national exposure!
I am here to assure you that seeing Taylor perform live is one of the most incredible experiences you will ever have. Seriously.
YES
Agree 100% after seeing him in Helsinki yesterday!
Brilliant Taylor Mac + Divine Patti Smith = Power

Very good performance. Judy has decent voice.
Absolutely magnificent performance and message ✊🏼
Okay that's exactly what I needed some really good Soul Rock!
Suddenly I'm no longer worried about what to be on Halloween
If you can pull that look together in time for Halloween, I need your address because there's a Tardis that needs to be returned to a Doctor...

This performance was MARVELOUS 😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹
Gosh. Sometimes I forget about how much I love Taylor Mac - would love to see a live performance by them! Taylor’s version of Birdland... perfection!
Seeing Taylor's performance live is a ritualistic community celebration. It's better than a revival. Truly amazing.
THIS IS GORGEOUS AND WHAT WE NEED thank u
Judy doesn't have the best voice.. but I found the performance very rousing.. :) Have to admire how she wears those heels..
i actually love the no-nonsense honest voice
@@kombinatsiya6000 I think she's actually aiming for the broadway type of strong voice.. which doesn't exactly hit the mark, but I found her very entertaining and she certainly loves what she does and it comes out in her fervency.

Agreed. I was impressed how scrappy and strong that Judy is. Mad respect :)
If smashing convention includes not being able to hold a tune, then I agree wholeheartedly!
Hello.
This is played 24 hours nonstop in the elevator to hell.
@@MrFuzzyGreen When do we get to hear you sing?
I saw this and the best line in this song.. "That Orange Thing".. (LOL)

I can NOT stop looking at the backup singers. A trio of badasses.
Excellent. Taylor Mac! Judy! Yes!
Maybe I’m gonna go find my poms poms yaaass
Well, the people certainly showed their power last November!!
this cover moved me
Maybe the commercials have the power 🤷🏿♂️
Just like Ethel Merman, she really belts it out!
Best dress I’ve ever seen
Are we back in the 60's again? Because I can get down with that.
“That orange thing” ha!
I LOVE Taylor Mac!

Sucks to be a nobody and a UA-cam troll, doesn't it ?

Is that Detroit's Steffanie Christi'an singing backup?
It’s is:)
People in these comments either loved it or hated it. I thought this was amazing, but I just love queer art and performance I guess

Wtf? Is this 1972?
it's art you basic toad
I hope so!

No, we have High Definition now.

@@tommywiseau_ Ah, the classic cover comment for garbage.
I appreciate the sentiment, but not the voice
Trump's nightmare
I mean, is Judy trying to sound like a 'good singer' or are they just trying to be a 'good performer'? I guess I don't get it.
dats some pandering right there.
this really was not for me, timely, but not to my taste. then again i grew up with boy george and grace jones...
wtf is this
shut uo Bob
Its TALENT *Darling* ~~💖
It's triumph of form over content. Almost Trumpish.
@@citetez Yeah, it's a shame there were no words in that song.
Art
Second?
I came here to give this a chance. It was just so awful.
no one likes you, and i mean offline
Terrible drag karaoke wtf??? Dench be trippin
Fuckin horrible. No matter what
Listening to this was torture.
@@tommywiseau_ I'm guessing you don't agree with my comment.
This is fawking horrid
no one cares for your opinion, Greg. not even God
There is not even the most isolated island of souless remoteness that any creature of inhabitants would say this is good.
hahahaha.... I think you just described humanity on planet earth!
This was awful
This is what passes as entertainment in 2018 or is it 1984.
buhuhuhu... cried a guy on the internet cause glitter in the video made him uncomfortable. you must be fun irl. popular with the ladies im sure

What makes the song inspiring to you?
WHY on earth would any human being listen to this?!
You could have used an interrobang there but you didn't. It makes me sad.
Tbh I understand what it stands for but he’s not a good artist it’s very shrill yelling and without the costume probably would not be listened to
It's not really meant to be without the costume. You have to enjoy the whole package, not just the vocals.
Considering this performer is on stage for 24 hours singing 246 songs I’d say it’s a job well done!
Wow this is garbage on a hot street
This sucks.
Love love love!!!!!!
perhaps MacArthur has a very loose interpretation of the term "genius"...
