Bill Burr Divides SNL Viewers With Controversial Monologue

Bill Burr has been a staple of the comedy world for quite some time now and fans always expect the best from him. As a standup comic who got his start decades ago, Burr has never been one for being politically correct. On his podcast, Burr has made sure to toe the line of what some on Twitter would deem as unacceptable. Regardless, Burr has made it clear that he has no problems giving his true thoughts on any topic, needless of whether or not it will get him into trouble.

This was especially true during his recent Saturday Night Live monologue. In fact, Burr touched on the Black Lives Matter movement and those who try to co-opt it. Burr specifically took aim at white women, which as you can imagine, led to mixed reactions on social media. The comedian also made some comments about Pride Month.

“Somehow, white women swung their Gucci booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line,” Burr said. “My life is so hard. My SUV and my heated seats. You have no idea what it’s like to be me.”

“That’s a little long, don’t you think? For a group of people that were never enslaved?” Burr said about Pride Month being longer than Black History Month. “How did they get all of June? The Black people were actually enslaved, they get February. They get 28 days of overcast weather. Sun goes down at 4 in the afternoon, everybody’s shivering, no one wants to go in the parade.”

Throughout the monologue, fans and detractors took to social media to give their opinions on what went down. As you will see in the tweets below, some felt the monologue was disgusting, while others were excited to see Burr doing what they’ve come to expect from him: provocation.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
