John's divine feminine energy fits so perfectly into this space. He doesn't feel the need to dominate or even to feel uncomfortable as the only man in the group, he's just flowing through the experience being gentle like a breeze. He has a very clear and strong spiritual energy that emanates from his being almost as if he himself is a song. Him and his wife are beautiful and I pray more love over their lives. I lost my mom to cancer just two weeks ago and the songs he made about his wife are just beyond breathtaking.

From my life experience, having anxiety in a group where everything is safe has been some of the best moments of learning - rather relearning comfort, ease, and being a human interacting.

Billie Eilish has such an incredible talent for songwriting it’s actually breathtaking

I love the sweet moment between Julia, Billie and the wonderful words that Cynthia (having also more years of experience) said to Julia 😭❤️ beautiful… and I love us women for this because we immediately support each other when someone has a problem, because we know what our weaknesses are, we are often too unsure of our abilities and skills and we are often ashamed of it, much more than men in our careers …. And for example as a fan of Billie every time she won an award she often said others deserved it not her .. always awkward moments 😭 she always feels ashamed for every result she achieves and she doesn't like it when people compliment her, even if as a pop artist with that success it's impossible, but she just likes working doing her job bc she knows it’s just her job there is nothing special to talk about it .. here too, she demonstrated that she still has no self-esteem in herself even if on the outside she shows that she is also a badass rebellious stubborn strong woman but this is just a protective shell for empathetic and sensitive ppl like her (her fans know her really well about this) and you can feel this, she immediately felt and saw that Julia was struggling bc she was embarrassing in that moment .. and she immediately touched her hands and everything .. she was not ok for Julia… she is REALLY empathetic and she hates when ppl are not ok … she does this with everyone and her fans too 😊 she always likes to hug / help her fans and ppl in general and she talks to them having fun like they are all best friends, she also go to the park and ask ppl to play frisbee with her 😭 only her fans will understand how amazingly she is inside. And Billie and Julia have the same soul, Billie just hides it better with that badass sometimes not simple but protective attitude. And Julia is an amazing talented humble woman ! And it's true that women are more sensitive to certain things and therefore have more difficulty in stuff like this, but it's what makes us special as women in our work, we always question everything and complicate our lives 😂 because we “like” to live our life fully (too much 🫣) and we want to demonstrate how much we are worth, we know that we could give more and therefore what we give is never enough for us … but then once we grow up we become like Cynthia , with an incredible inner power... amazing thoughtful mature woman ❤️

Billie has the MJ and Lady diana soul, but the charisma and attitude of Madonna and probably Kurt Cobain.

Holy crap, how much power and tears come out of this video. Thank you for blessing us in this way. This is the content that needs to go viral.

Billie Eilish with that blissful song of hers ‘What Was I Made For’ the portrayal she enlisted in that song is so real and empowering. The juxtaposition of floating and then falling down, and the mental health of not knowing how to feel & sadness is so human of her. I feel it’s the best song written of her discography. I’m so excited to see what she brings on in 2024.

Thank you for this talk, it was absolutely amazing! I'm a classical musician who loves popular music and I find it sad how shallow the interviews usually are with insanely talented artists. I'm so grateful for this, because this one hour roundtable really does show what it means to be a musician and a songwriter, it's an actual job, it's their whole life and it takes a lot to get where they are! Also the chemistry amongst these people is amazing. They're all so down to earth and genuinely interested in each other's art and happy for each other, because they're in a way equal. Amazing!

Cynthia truly speaks poetry. What a lovely woman

Olivia has been writing masterpieces since she was 16. Her talent is incredible.

the way Billie talks and had everyone super into what she’s saying, LOVE HER!

This is one of my favorite round tables. The way they all engage with each other. All of them are amazing

Thank you so much for this round table. A rarity to hear musicians & the mc was so gentle and gave space to all. Such a delight. Listening to creatives inspire- as Cynthia said to Julie, is so important. If you were a songwriter, learning that there are many paths to take, creating in collaboration, or for yourself are equally important. Julie's body of work is mindblowing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜

I clicked on the video to listen to Billie. I love her as an artist. But that whole conversation was so beautiful! I loved every word and emotion each artist told. It's so human. You forget alot about it because of their fame, but this!? It was just so real and loving. These people are smart. The way they express deep feelings is for sure not easy. This hour long talk went by like nothing.

That's the thing. Despite how much fame and success someone has or lack thereof, it's important to look past all that and see them as human beings.

Like I came for Dua, Olivia and Billie and ended up falling in love with Cynthia, Julia and Jon ❤️❤️

Cynthia has such a way with words. I love hearing her insights!

51:38 I felt her anxiety spike up so much that I started crying and shaking more for her-like in that moment, I understood exactly what she felt with happiness and shock and embarrassment and like everything all together and not being able to properly word her thoughts as to why she felt that way

I could watch all of them talk for ever!!! This is such an amazing group of people to have at this table and I'm so very thankful for not only the incredible artists here but also all of the work behind the scenes from the Hollywood Reporter. From the production, editing, hosting, the questions you put together, all of it was so profound and powerful. This makes something in my soul so happy and at peace. I'm in love with this concept and video as a whole. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

And I think about Cynthia’s comment (consistently chasing Billie) ALL THE TIME! Like…when is the collab?! 👀👀 Also, when he asked what their dream collab was I saw Cynthia look in Billie’s direction soooo… Lastly, how can someone not be mesmerized by her! She’s a goddess walking amongst mortals! Lol I literally worship her! 🥰

THR Roundtables have come such a long way since the start. This conversation was so casual, so cozy, so chill, so connected. The moderator guided it perfectly. Beautifully done, THR. Looking forward to more of this.

Incredibly inspiring to listen to these amazing artists talk to each other. Love the mutual respect, support and curiousity. Cynthia and Billie supporting and praising Julia also brought me to tears. You own it girls

Julia is my spirit person lol. She might be an INFP. Also Cynthia is so wise and I loved how she said it's ok for women to be proud of their work. We do need to hear that!!

I was waiting for one of these!!! Songwriters deserve more opportunities to talk about their craft! I absolutely love these.

they are all so well-spoken! i have such a new admiration for julia micheals, her stories are so profound

Dua lipa is so well spoken!!!! She's truly amazing at everything she does!!!

Listening to this as we ease into the new year hits different. It feels like a gift. Love them all!

I loved this interview. So interesting, so many perspectives from famous artists who are songwriters. This has to be a series and we need to bring more artists!!

Julia is being very modest like it's a job of work but it's actually much more than that. She's impacted so many lives with the songs she's written for so many artists. Love her!! ❤🤗

I loved this so much to the point where i just didn't want it to end. I love those super open conversations about their personal experiences as an artist. I wish this was a regular thing. I'm dying for more content!

this is one of the best thr roundtables to ever happened. the conversation, naturally occurred, was so meaningful and flew so eloquently. loved jon's story and cynthia's encouragement.

Cynthia is enthralling. So beautiful and so well spoken. I’m glad the others acknowledged it out loud so she knows! Round tables are my absolute favourites!

It’s kind of weird that they never mentioned Jon Batiste winning an oscar for the Soundtrack of the Disney Pixar movie Soul, in collaboration with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

😭😭😭 Love this sooo much. And Cynthia Ervio is such a precious, genuine soul. All these artists are incredible and i’m grateful for music.

Everyone at this table is so damn talented. This entire conversation was extremely inspirational to me as a songwriter.

Amazingly done! Perfect selection of writers, vibe, and discussion topics. Need to see more of these ASAP with the same interviewer

Billie is so empathetic and sweet.. love Julia and Billie friendship, they are so cute ❤️🥰🥰 Billie can be both extroverted but also introverted, what a girl !

If anyone doesn't know the depth of Julia Michaels talent as a songwriter please look it up. She is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

I love how every person at the table and how they were able to talk about their accomplishments and songs they made over the years and being able to relate to one another and understanding where an artist was coming from at the time is amazing honestly loved this so much wish these same people were here again I would love to see another video of the same people at the table just talking this was so wholesome

Dua is such a lovely person. She seems so down to earth and sweet.

What I love about this, is how respect towards each other’s stories, successes and lessons are complimented with shared values, mutual respect and relatable creativity. As a creative myself, listening to them makes me feel included despite not being as successful in their scale as they are. The feeling of relating to their processes makes it so inclusive and accepting. Definitely the best interview I’ve watched this new year and I’m grateful for them. Thank you, Cynthia, Olivia, Dua, Jon, Billie, Julia, and to the interviewer, staff and crew of Hollywood Reporter. 💜
