I used to be a singer, after having half my thyroid removed, my vocal cords were scarred. I can’t sing anymore and it is devastating. Even my talking voice will go out if I talk for extended periods now. To be unable to perform your passion is…. gut wrenching. But to others dealing with it, I hope in time you’re able to find another Avenue to channel your creativity and passion.
honestly, if you love singing but you can no longer sing, please don't let your talents go to waste, learn an instrument! it will feel very rewarding to make melodies again after so long.
i damaged my vocal cords through singing and was out of commission for a while. thankfully I've healed, but during that time, i found that same satisfaction through learning bass/guitar/piano/drums. it is so amazing to be able to express myself with my hands like that, even when my voice couldn't, and i can do things with a guitar/piano that my voice still can't.
@@howdyfriends7950 you make a valid point!! I have my flute and my husband’s guitar at my disposal - perhaps it is time to pick one of them up! :). Thank you for sharing and the suggestion. I can’t believe I hadn’t even thought of it before.
Same. I was never "good" at singing but I loved to. I did these opera type songs when I'd clean or whatever. It started out as a joke cuz opera music was so annoying to me but I was actually good at it. Then on my last surgery, they had to remove more tumors on my vocal cords and around them and I haven't been able to since. It's heartbreaking because that really became a part of me and my own entertainment. My voice goes in and out all the time. I've always recovered after surgeries. Might have sounded different but still could handle it. This last one was too much for it. At least I can still talk tho. After my first surgery I didn't have a voice at all for almost 4 months and they didn't know if it would come back. Grateful for that at least. Maybe I should try to learn an instrument too. I've always felt like I didn't have much when it came to talents.
@@Lala_BI'm old and love her work too, but it's not necessary to insult other women to compliment her. I also have to wonder how you feel now that Lunch is out.
@@Lala_B you just gonna pretend you didn’t say other woman “rely on auto tune and sex”? I have no opinion on what u guys are talking about, but that’s a blatant insult.
My daughter danced from the time she was 4 until 2014 (25) she was a popular pro football cheerleader/dancer. A fan and owner favorite for her incredible presence while dancing. We got in a very bad car accident that took it all away. It literally took her spirit and it has been a battle since then. A dancer without “the dance” is like music without an instrument. My heart goes out to all the people who are suffering through the loss of their passion.
Billie is basically what I’ve always wanted to look like since childhood, this version of her anyway. I could never pull off this hair color, for one it wouldn’t look right on me, two I’d go bald. 😢
I’m sorry that you went through that. I still hope you find ways to dance that supports your health. Never stop singing with your body ❤ even if you gotta sit down
I always wanted to be a dancer 🎶 🩰 but at almost 40 I think that dream is lost but the crazy thing is I feel like a part of me died with the dream 😢 like maybe I was a dancer in my previous life 🤷🏻♀️ it's hard to explain
Sure she is dancing, but she's awful. Not fluid whatsoever. Good for her for learning but just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you're good, she even looks like she's struggling lol
Hi knee fam (?) I tore my anterior cruciate ligament like... in 2017 and after few years I got the surgery. Luckily things are ok now, I started dancing again and I still do it when I have time, but not before warming up A LOT (I think I spend more time in warm up exercises than in dancing🤣🤣)
At least she can walk. I’m 57 and think she’s gorgeous and stunning to watch nonstop. My knee gave out 10 years ago but I love to spend time watching her all the time. She’s a beauty
@@mart.2411 I had spine surgery. I couldn't move for 3 moths. Like literally, I lied on my back. I was professional dancer. Please don't act like this, you don't fucking know how to be laying in bed for this long
@allaboutroofing2 no.... she isn't possessed.... she's been abused and hurt. She's been bullied and tormented bc of her t.s. and as a teen she tried to look as unappealing and unadult as she could, modeling the behavior I would want my daughters to mimick. Once she was an adult she did a bit more risqué photo shoot and started wearing clothes appropriate for her age to encourage young women to do the same. Don't be a douche
@@ChRiStY4t5 look up her backwards bend back thing she did in concert without losing her balance. It's completely unnatural and defies physics. Also, she has said multiple times she sold her soul to the devil.
If you watch her documentary she actually was a rlly good dancer, just this vid in particular doesn’t show it in my opinion. Billie used to love dancinh
@@phoenixlynn9535 she injured some part of her upper legs, I don’t rlly remember but it made her have to stop dancing She also gets injured easily in concerts and stuff (or did when she was like 17, 18 idrk)
in 2015 she had a growth plate injury to her hip, ending her dancing dreams. since her parents were wealthy and already had connections, it worked well that Billie chose music. her parents were able to devote all their time and energy towards their kids and now the whole family helps with Billie's music career.
her parents weren't wealthy. they're artists and worked in the industry but they are also supplementing income as teachers and carpenters (have to have several jobs to finance life and afford to have kids attend lessons and activities..) Just a regular economically but gifted family, makes sense that their peers and friends are also in the industry and artistic. I don't understand the narrative of her coming from money thing. not every artists in California are rich. Billie and Finneas are now of course. Finneas even said that he paid off their parents' mortgage since they (billie and Finn as producer) making lots of money now.
And now long covid .... A lot of musicians are going to end up crippled because SARS-CoV-2 🦠 infections unfortunately there's no such thing as a mild case in each infection will compounds and deregulates the immune system and is considered a vascular disease and the effects every bodily system in organ in the human body 🍀❤
I was lucky not to have any injuries that took away from what I could do until I was 60. Appreciate everything you love doing. Even if it just being able to hike a short trail.
For me it happened irreversibly at 42. Someone else’s fault. It broke my heart. Your message means so much to me x appreciate it while you can x happy Christmas
@@logiclanguagelearningFrenchI had to quit after only about 20 years. Arthritis got too bad. Oh I could do a little but I paid for it in pain. Now a guy on his phone hit me. Don’t think I’ll even walk without a cane again but I’m here. Near fatal accident. Bless her heart. Pray she’s back to it.
I’m only 23 but have already had several injuries which have permanently altered my mobility and functioning. Biggest issue probably being my herniated lumbar disc which in turn has fucked the rest of my body mechanics. I also had robotic hernia surgery back in April and that took so much out of me and has made my mobility even worse. But like you said, I’m overjoyed on any day my body actually works enough to exercise kinda normally. Definitely took my mobility for granted when I was younger tho. What I would do to go back to feeling indestructible.
Why she gotta be mean and talk about Unfortunate men with small penises though? I mean who wouldn't want to be a BIG enough guy to have a chance with her?
@@FreshSongs-AND-SOON-Politics could this be a straw man argument? Someone made a comment that Billie can’t dance and got a reply of “and what can you do”. I’m not trying to be argumentative in any way. I am just learning debating techniques (required class) and I need to know if I’m recognizing straw man arguments. YT comment sections can be very useful for illustrations of debate concepts.
you can clearly see that birdIstheWorld735 literally said that sentence so no, its not a strawman. Strawman is when you put words in someone's mouth or remove all context.
She was a beautiful dancer and I feel bad for her about her injury but she found a new way to express her emotions witch she excels at and we truly do not deserve her. ❤️
@@Noracarrr I’m pretty sure she hurt her hip, and because she was so young and still developing so it affected her more… not 100% sure tho I just know there was something with her hip when she tried to take an advanced hip hop class
I used to be like this when I was a teen. Singing and dancing in the same way in my garden or kitchen. I was always listening to celtic music or anything the brought me to this true freedom of expression. The fact she looks similar to me when I was a teen is bit weird i just had dark mousy frizzy hair. I'm older then Billie I'm nearly in my 40s. I still dance like this in my kitchen sometimes to lindsey Stirlings music Lol its my favourite past time. I miss how I used to be back in the day. I wanted to be a performer myself but I suffered in my childhood and never had the support to go further in life. Anyway keep this side of you up Billie don't loose that part of you that connects you to pure love and passion.
@@saarathadollwe're working on it ;) I'm working in the music industry again since July of last year. My new goal as an Executive Producer is to bring forth talent that the world didn't know ever existed. :') Cheers 🥂 🍻 🎵 🤩 ~ TrippyRicky
It's fine but "well said"? No. "Literally in two"?? Like... that's literally an impossibility. C'mon people. We don't have to regress intellectually as a culture. It's LITERALLY killing us!
She can dance now bc she does a lot of gym Etc in the past she didn’t have time.. but she can dance .. she can jump for 1 year on stage, trust me that is even worse than dance 😅
@@elisabethholster7755 😂 honey i was a dancer … I know what im saying, she can do if she wants… she is also a dancer she studied every type of dance… so she can even with her past, she can jump like crazy on her legs and THIS is dangerous .. she can do maybe not consecutive hours and heavy steps .. but she can do it in general
_Billy is not so wonderful and innocent AT ALL....she once made fun of men who have small penises, and laughed her head off at her own remark. So don't let she fool you - I lost all respect for her at that moment._
That video is made year- 2015!! Than is Billie not even close worth milions!!! Maybe a 100.000$.. Now is a diferent story..Now the parents live also in villa like her!
I developed adult-onset Muscular Dystrophy at 32. My muscles are wasting away and I feel like I'm 80 every minute of every day. Then again maybe you are sick in which case I sincerely apologize.
That's rough. I got pretty bad foot and ankle arthritis at 34 (my age now) and i never knew how much i took even a flat walk around the park for granted. Irs not MS but it's disabling. Good luck to you all.
I feel ya. I'm 34 and have been a T1 diabetic for over 20 years, and I feel so old when I move. I'm trying to do yoga to help with the nerve damage and joint issues and all that stuff. I'm trying to eat and be healthier to preserve what health I have left, but I feel so fragile at times. I was never a good dancer but I liked to dance. I was the oldest out of 4 kids, and I'd bring all my siblings into my room, turn up my big boxy stereo, turn on my Spencer's blacklight and strobe light, and have a dance party. They loved that . I never realized how much I'd miss doing that.
I used to be a professional ballroom dancer. Then my exhusband broke my back. I am able to walk and stuff, but the nerve damage causes severe pain that makes it impossible for me to dance anymore. When you love dance and it is taken away from you, it also takes a part of your soul. I would give anything to be able to dance again like I used to.
I’m a pianist and my hand got crushed in a work accident. I couldn’t play for 4 years, I couldn’t even hold a pen to write, couldn’t do crosswords or cross-stitch.. I lost everything. 13 years later, I can play again. I never thought I would, and certainly not like I did before, but maybe that long rest and lots of working on getting my hand back, first to write, then a whole lot of little things worked. In those 13 years, I had to find out who I was without music, life can take something away for whatever reason it chooses. But never lose hope that maybe you’ll get it back. Never think never, or it won’t happen. I’m surprised and grateful.
@@virginiaviola5097 thank you for such an amazing testimony. I hope and pray that I am able to run again. I was in a skie accident and the surgeon who did my ACL left me in worse pain. I am supposed to go for a second surgery and hope I can run again someday. , You are blessed and I'm happy for you 🙌🥳
Wow! What a stunning dancer she was. I’m sorry that she got injured that ended her dance career, but once the music world open the door for her, the opportunities are endless. In fact, the opportunities in the music world for Billie continue to go on & on.
"STUNNING DANCER"?!? 😳😳OH, WAIT YOU MEAN YOU MEAN STUNNING DANCER LIKE YES THAT'S STUNNING SHE'S A DANCER?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OH that was a good joke it would have sound great in person.... Oh f*** you all you people that are going to come back and send me all this hate why?? Dear God you've already given her far far more than any talent she legitimately has has earned her for sure like a hundred times over. Please.🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Tourette's syndrome, she's remarkable to be able to do all of her talent you would never know every once in a while if you look really close she starts moving her head just a little bit and you can notice it in her eyes
I got an injury from a friend I will never forgive. We were at a public swimming pool and she pushed me off the diving board. Her friends recording me, I fell but my knee missed the pool. I came back up screaming and there was blood in the water. I can never dance again, I’ll never forgive her for that, and no matter how hard I try to dance, I just can’t.
You don’t have to forgive,I’m sorry that happened to you, that’s awful. When forgiving though you don’t forgive for them, you for give for you, so you can release what happened, the anger, and no longer allow what happened in the past to emotionally hold you. ❤
My only problem is that because of some childhood trauma, it's really hard for me to get to trust someone, so when I do, and they break that trust, I just feel like I can't forgive them anymore, especially since it's for the rest of my life. Took me 2 years to fully trust my own parents again once.
@@megan_w_1410 totally understand and you don’t ever have to trust that person again. I come from childhood trauma as well, I would suggest doing some shadow work. It’s ok that you don’t trust easily, neither do I. It’s better to be guarded and let trust be earned then just freely giving it right away. Hugs 🤗
@@alexandertiberius1098 jealous 😭? Girl it was a joke... a joke that I've seen many people comment about. Its truly not that deep. Yall are so sensitive now a days you can't even joke about dance moves. Funny how yall had NO problem making fun of Jojo but when the same joke is made about YOUR idol its a problem. 🤨 so you're telling me all the people mocking jojos dance moves are jealous of her or....?
Billie is such an incredibly talented singer/Performer... Her Brother, Phinneus is So Amazing and such an incredible song writer, lyricist and musician.... Thank God for their gifts that they share with us 🙏❤️🙏
She is an old soul with wisdom, creativity, love, insight, and beauty from every perspective. I am in awe of her, her brother and her mother (sorry, I have not read anything about her father; he may deserve some credit for her awesomeness, too).
Her mother, and father are both responsible for her success, of course she is ultimately the one responsible for her success. Her mother and father, both I believe, have a background in the music, and or film industry's. They, from what I've read, had the insight to cultivate and nurture her and her brother's talents giving them the freedom and environment to flourish. When they, (Billy and her brother) were ready they had the contacts in the music industry that made it possible for their music to get out to us in an efficient manner. They did an excellent job, my hats off to them. If your children aren't the most important thing in your life, you need to reevaluate your priorities.
Dancing is a graceful expression of freedom. She looks adorable there with not a care in the world and not knowing how her life would be drastically different in her future. She’s a very talented artist and musician with a fabulous voice.
Billie, you still can dance 💃. You're so talented. Keep singing and keep dancing. I hope you and Finn continue to have fun with your art. I love, love your music and your performances ❤️
@@whispymoo3776 what makes you think she won’t? She liked to perform a lot and could of easily got attention from it now take your negative energy somewhere else please
I'm a minor, dancing semi-profesionally for 10th year now. This makes me cry. I wouldn't be able to stop dancing and I adore Billie for still making a cariere
