That pianist is her brother, Finneas! And she’s amazing!! She’s been making music as Billie Eilish since she was 13 and her voice has always been insanely good!

I’m a certified Billie superfan..and I’m an older male. Love her! She’s the best! An old soul.

A true "old soul" - when she sings "Listen before I go" at the Steve Jobs theater, it's golden

When she says "call me friend but keep me closer" ive always thought it was a nod to "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"

Billie has an amazing voice. Soft and breathy yet very jazzy. It really shows in her live and especially acoustic performances. Her music actually is often heavy production based but she and her brother (they make music together) say that a good song should be able to be sung acoustic and sound good, which is why their acoustic performances are always great. I'd love to see you react to "Listen Before I Go" by her Live at the Steve Jobs Theater

Another interesting demonstration of Billies range is the Bond movie theme she did No Time To Die.

Nice reaction. My personal faves from Billie are these live in studio performances with her brother where she really inhabits her songs. Her BBC1 covers of The End of the World and MJ's Bad are particular stand outs.

Right. Also "Copycat" from her legendary Mahagony sessions. That's insane too. :-)

personally, I would choose video clips first, and then live recordings. both are always a great experience

Her song “I Love You” is amazing. You should definitely check it out!

Billie's so transparently vulnerable when she sings, she reaches into my chest and gives my heart a squeeze.

Billie has some great songs and that breathy tonality is so distinct. A few others to check could be "See Me In A Crown", and I'd recommend the music video for that one (you'll see why), or "Everything I Wanted". Her brother Finneas, on the piano/harmonies, also has a solo career and is worth a watch too.

Finneas, her brother, wrote the lyrics - the thumbnail, probably not your doing, was "SHE CAN SING?" as if it was a question - 7 Grammys, an Oscar, and all that before 21 - the youngest to ever write and sing a James Bond theme song [with Finneas, for which they got an Academy Award - the youngest in the 21st Century to win an Oscar. Billie not only can sing - she is a wonder! The other song was "Happier Than Ever" - the biggest hit from her "Happier Than Ever" sophomore album and "Bad Guy" was from her debut album - WWAFAWDWG [guess!] - "When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go", but her EP "Don't Smile At Me" is also great - the songs, "Ocean Eyes" (her break out hit written by Finneas) and "idontwannabeyouanymore" [find another song by a 15 year old which will last like this one] and "Copycat" [both the studio version and the MAHOGANY session versions are wonderful"; "My Boy" from "Don't Smile at Me" might be the only song (that I'm aware of) which references "split ends" in a way that makes great sense. Finneas also wrote "Watch", "Six Feet Under" and "My Strange Addiction".

Fantastic reaction, sir. I really hope you go down this rabbit hole. She is a truly amazing vocalist.

Billie Bossanova Halley's comet Goldwing These are 3 of her songs that I would love to hear you break down. love your reactions, thank you so much

Thank you for reaction, Billie is so talanted. More Billie please)

i could listen too when the parties over over and over again well i coukd listen too all her songs like that. billie is my fav singer by far and her music is one of the reasons i choose to be on this planet, you should react too more of her xx

Her song (male fantasy) is a stunning song😮😊❤

She and her brother are so Amazing ❤️🙌🙌🙌

Her and Finneas are phenomenal all around

Just amazing talents...wow. Love them 💕

so much soul in her voice...great version of a great song...makin the hairs stand up on back of my neck😀

This is one of my favorites from her. Some of her songs I feel can sound same-y but this is one of several that have moved me emotionally. I hope to see much, much more from her and Finneas in the years to come and see how they develop their sounds!

As much as I love this live her video to this is one of the most powerful videos I’ve ever seen so I request that asap

When the party’s over = a secret relationship. He only calls her to come over after everyone has left the party and no one is around to see them together. She’s no good for him because it would cause him problems if people knew they were seeing each other. She comes every time he calls but hates that it has to be a secret. But because she loves him, she lies to herself and tells herself that she likes it this way. It kills her when they have to say goodbye and she has to go home and be lonely… so much so that she thinks that maybe it would hurt less if they didn’t see each other at all. But she knows she’s not strong enough to not answer when he calls so she asks him to make it easy on her by not calling at all because not seeing him is the only way she can let him go.

That tracks pretty well, cause I seem to recall hearing that she had a relationship exactly like that with someone who was 21 and she was 16 or 17 I think.

Wow!Thank you for this explanation of the song!I never thought of it like that.Super sad.

The line “call me friend but keep me closer” is meant to be a play on the phrase “keep your friends close but your enemies closer”

Love it!

You should definitely listen to the Billie song “the 30th” It’s one of her most recent songs and is a masterpiece as far as I’m concerned

Not my usual genre but there's something about her songs. Especially the older ones.

yeah

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connel (yes that’s her full name) and Finneas O’Connel are the two best people making music today. True artists. Some underrated songs of their that are really great Come out and Play Hostage Male Fantasy

PLEASE more Billie! I'll be completely honest, when she first started getting big in the music scene, I disliked her strictly principle, thinking she was just like every other generic pop singer that they try and push on people, but who don't have any actual talent, and boy was I WRONG. About 2 years into her career I finally sat down with some headphones and listened to her album with an open mind, and haven't looked back since. Then I watched her live, and realized that holy sh*t, she has an INCREDIBLE voice, not simply average at all. It all started with her song Ocean Eyes. It's been pretty cool watching her grow up and mature into her life and music, and with her brother Fineas right along with her (the guy playing piano) helping with song writing, production, accompaniment etc, she's grown into a hell of an artist. I HIGHLY recommend diving deeper into her discography, starting with Ocean Eyes, which is what put her on the map. Edit- if you watch "You Should See me in a Crown", make sure to do the actual music video for it. You will see why lol.

0:43 Yusss ❤❤❤❤

Been a fan of urs getting for years never thought u would react to her. U should definitely react to the actual video to this it’s one of the beautiful dark videos ever

Oh these two guys have more Grammys than they can count) Including some for the (brilliant) Bond theme.

End of The World, you should watch it

Yesss need to see you react to more songs by her!! Please!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mrlboyd if you havent , check out any of finneas's songs. He is a great artist as well.

You should react to the reverse play on this…. FREAKED ME OUT!!!!

She also did a live version of All The Good Girls Go To Hell in this same session with Howard Stern that is even better!

You would love her in an interview 😊she's a super interesting person to listen to❤

love this!! ❤ you should react to her cover of "fever" by peggy lee! or her "no time to die" oscar performance

You should check out her song "Ocean Eyes" it's REALLY GOOD! The video for this song is really good as well

I highly recommend My Future and End of the World cover.

Would love for you to also check out REN and BIbI, ( crutch )the official video

Seriously! I don't know why most reactors are sleeping on that one! It's heartbreaking but absolutely amazing.

Sure this has been covered but "the pianist" isn't just some random blote that she taught to play a couple chords and harmonize with. His name is Finneas and has been nominated for 13 Grammys having won 8 of them at the young age of 26. And yes he and she can both sing their asses off and obviously devote a lot of time to their craft.

If you like the more somber type songs, my favorite song of hers is I LOVE YOU, which also has an amazing live performance from the Greek Theater. Also, would love to see you react to her music videos HOSTAGE and LOVELY (ft Khalid). Also amazing songs.

I think you'd really appreciate The music video for this song as well.

You need to react to her cover of Michael Jackson's Bad- she was only 15 and it is the most amazing cover of a song.

Her brother Phineas doesn't get the credit he deserves, she wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. They are fantastic together

I really enjoy when lyrics make you shut up.

Oh, Finneas 😍 hehe

Man I wish you watched the music video instead! The visuals are insane!

Pentatonix covered this. Its also beautiful

She is so different from all that was pop. It was time fore a shake up. Billie hit pop much the was Nirvana hit rock. (People do not not jump, I love all types of music & many artists in the same genre. I’m not saying either are better than what was before, just different cam be good)

Would love no time to die

Wonderful, many thanks! I don't say this lightly, but I honestly believe the way that Billie's voice is evolving and maturing and developing, she will go down as one of the great jazz vocalists of our time, certainly in the same bracket as Billie Holliday, Etta James and all those greats. She might be there already. And she's way more versatile than they are! She was a tired/grumpy 17 year old in the Stern clip and it was still great. She's 21 now. If you have 2 mins to spare, please look at this iPhone clip from 2022 of Billie doing a live cover of Fever by Peggy Lee - with a full jazz ensemble - and tell me I'm not wrong! Tell me! Thanks my friend! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYlkt9dqc72XpbQ.html

I interpreted this song more of having feelings for someone but they are leading you on. Keep calling you friend but giving mixed signals. They only want to be “with” you when the party is over and no one is around to know about it. And she is so infatuated that she gets drawn it but is saying please stop and just let me go! Stop playing with my feelings!

6:18 no, I think you have it wrong…he calls her just his friend, but keeps keeping her closer, and that’s not a good thing…

Please React To These Songs By 2Pac - Bomb First - Against all Odds - Made Niggaz ( Music Video) - Watch Ya Mouth - All Out ( OG VERSION) - Fuck Friendz ( OG VERSION) - Toss It Up ( Music Video ) - How Do U Want It ( Music Video ) - Trapped ( Music Video ) - Death Around The Corner - Old School - All Eyez On Me - Blasphemy - Life Of An Outlaw - Pain ( From Above The Rim Soundtrack) - Until The End Of Time - Last Wordz - Me Against The World

I'll pass on this one. No offense to her fans, just not my cup of tea.
