Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 04. 2018
- Billie Eilish was just 14 when she emerged on the scene with her debut single “ocean eyes” in 2016. The soulful song quickly transformed into a viral sensation that currently stands with over 44 million Spotify streams.
The singer-songwriter’s career has continued to flourish with sonically mature songs like “bellyache” and the 13 Reasons Why track “Bored,” and last year she released her critically acclaimed debut EP don’t smile at me.

I feel like Billie is someone you can easily get addicted too 😂
Shes my strange addiction
Cause she's so charismatic
Shes myyy strange addiction
I was gonna say like a drug and then that lyric "take you like a drug" came into my head from I think daddy issues by the neighbourhood jeee but yeah ikr
Already. Have
He's a good interviewer, he lets her talk and understands her
Fuhq Boi I doubt it
*Don't they all*

Billie taught me to not care of what other people think

How sweet is the interviewer, though?! He‘s a true fan, too, and I am so here for it!!!
Living Well With TJ wtf is that meant to mean 💀
It’s interesting how in all these videos she talks about how you don’t have to go through something to write about it and everyone’s so mind blown by the concept. Of course you can write about anything. Songwriting is still writing. Writers write stories. She’s telling a story and playing a character in the songs. Music doesn’t have to be a diary
Billie:you can write fiction
And don't have to go through it
Everyone: *surprised pikachu face*
That last sentence really stuck with me 🤯 ur so right
But the thing is she didn’t actually write it

She has such a deep voice when talking, but angelic when singing. 😘
Ikr
That's called mezzo soprano voice type exactly what you said deep but like this wierd pitch too it
she’s so honest woah
That's why we fucking love her
Apart from being a guy
That's because she's a capricorn lmao
that's what makes someone a decent person and attractive, fun to be around etc
@@Manvir. its sagitaurus
She's so wise beyond her years but at the same time she talks like such a kid which is awesome.
She is real as fuck
@@peechisverhalen7964 lol "wise"
I’ve binged so much Billie Eilish recently
Same tho 😂💚🖤❤️

aw
True tho

😂 damn😂👌
To achieve this level of honesty, self confidence and creativity is truly inspiring. many adults need to shut up and listen to what she has to say.
???
Sheeple
Omg she is a complet and absolute liar and everybody is blind. Look how she can not go deep un any issue. Is superficial at all. She only complains about everything in a confuse way, no clear answers and for sure no examples or detatails cause is all a fuxkxng lie
Haro Odasac U LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR, DUDE, SEEIN YERSELF. ♥️🤸🏾♂️♥️
Grow tf up
I remember writing songs when I was younger and I would show them to my friends and they would always say “but you’ve never delt with this” or “but that’s not who you are” or “you’ve never done this or felt this” and I always thought “well, what is wrong with that? It doesn’t matter does it? I thought if you want to write a song, do it.” And then Billie comes around a couple years later and tells us that it’s okay and I just wanna start crying because I was always made fun of by my peers for wanting to sing about losing my boyfriend in WWI or wanting to kill my self or falling in love or being in an abusive relationship and then realizing that pre-teen me should’ve listened to herself not everyone else.
Audrey & Co. you do you baby girl ❤️
Im now regretting the same thing
i i_ I a m w e r I d_ sjsksks She’s probably going to be a tweaker, I hope not, but she seems like she’ll definitely be into drugs
im sorry you had to go through that ❤️ keep doing what you do and be yourself, and never listen to what people have to say
Dont let anyone control you.
Dont let anyone affects your dreams. If you want to make song, do it. Do everything what makes you happy. You only lived once. just be yourself.
im so in love with her dude omg
alex same
alex same here
*Yeah same*

Same
Why is everyone in these comments so half assed? She’s 16. Who the hell cares if she’s “edgy.” You know damn well you went through that stage too, so let her go through hers. Though I feel she’s a bit more unique with it. Actually listen to what she has to say instead of judging her by her looks or body language.
Yikes it would be awesome if she was more edgy with her music. I was shocked when i heard her cause she looks like a wavy soundcloud rapper, a beautiful one.
Yikes agreed smh
Yikes how is she edgy though?
Starburstfreak I didn’t say she was edgy. I’m just quoting those who kept saying she was.
I agree. People can't understand that this girl is cool. Cool. Not a wannabe edgy, just naturally stylish and extremely likeable imo.
Billie: Once I lost my earbuds and had a heart attack for like a week...
Me too Billie me too
Sameeeeeeeee like i lost my 9 dollar wireless earbuds i cant live without them
I lost my AirPods but my dad had gotten me a new pair
breyer lover159 I’ve never felt something so much like this
breyer lover159 500th like lol
breyer lover159 I left my sweet headphones at my friends still need them ...... or can I get one from billie
Its crazy how this young girl is making me feel more comfortable about being myself.
If I didn’t know her music I would probaly think she is a hardcore rapper bcs of the way she dresses like a male rapper lmao ...she’s so chill I love it
joanna babe ocean eyes
I'm so jealous of all of these young teens, living their dreams. I can't even get up and fill out some job applications.
we all have the same amount of hours in a day. how you use yours cannot compare to another persons. we all have the world at our fingertips and not everyone’s journey happens at the same pace
lmfao mE
Omg same af
Yeah love that's cause the job your applying for sucks. If we all chased our dreams who would do all the other jobs in the world?

frederico sanchez sena kiko she doesn’t do drugs ( as far as I know )
She has literally said she doesn't want to ruin herself with drugs.
@@ella4043 she doesn't
@@elianayvonne7386 some people say that too you never know
Welp I came back to this interview and you could say she doesn't especially because of xanny😂
She is humble enough to know she's not better than anyone and wise enough to know she's different from the rest.
She's amazing as always but hey what a really cool interviewer. He was so real.
Billie Eilish is the coolest 16 year old on the planet.
She's the coolest anything on the planet
duh
Let's just put it this way, Billie Eilish is the coolest.
XD YEAHHHHHHH
She is the coolest person
billie mentioning twenty one pilots gave me a heart attack. i’m shook
Same dude!

This is the best Billie Eilish's interview I've ever watched. It was just amazing
I could listen to Billie talk all day. She's so herself, down-to-earth, and so confident. She's so comfortable in her skin that it makes you feel comfortable.
I’m so excited for her to go through all her phases and hear the music she’s gonna make. I’m excited to grow with her
she has grown
@@ic3peak276 did NOT need to hear this today 😭😭😭
very much has grown😭.
you still around? cause i am after all these years :’)
@@delena4evertvd267 yes! i still watch every interview she does, but sadly our music preferences have gone in different directions. i still appreciate the music she’s put out and her voice has only gotten better. i will *always* admire her personality
I just discovered her today because of this interview and now I can't stop thinking about her. I'm literally obsessed with her now. Love her music & love her. She reminds me a little of Aaliyah. Idk why.
I love her laugh @ 10:58 ... So adorable lol
The disrespect..
U ain't wrong, I think she reminds me of Aaliyah too💖
Stop...🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Nobody:
Billie's chains: *JINGLE* *JINGLE* *JINGLE*
jingle all the way
In a one HORSE open sleigh
It do be doin asmr doe
She’s an old soul
Dave G 110% 💕
Maybe a boy
More like a occult programed trans.. I'd boink still
So am I lol
and she doesn’t even realize it
She is a talented artist 💪
I love Billie Eilish!! She's so real
Alain Bruno you are everywhere
I see you everywhere wtf?
He brother does all the work !!! She's not a true musician...
But she writes the lyrics. If you going off that, hardly anyone is a 'real' musician
She’s so underrated ugh I love her sm
That's cause you have terrible taste in music !!
Ken Bray her music is great bye
Ken Bray Can you acc stfu k... Billie is a real musician unlike some ppl, she’s only 16 and already has amazing music and supporters.
Ken Bray Gtfo you’re irrelevant
Billie is the only person that made me watch this long interview
The karaoke song from 22:45 is picture to burn from Taylor Swift
*"If you want to make art, fucking make art."*
I like how she reminds people that age does not define how wise, or talented or intelligent you can be. Don't let anyone put you down because they think you're too young. Just do the fuck you want.
Green Day, Avril Lavigne, The Beatles, Linkin Park, Twenty one pilots.... I love you.
What time she metioning avril?

I'm still shook that Billie and Billie MET EACH OTHER
"that person's been here before" yahhh girlllll
billie talking about josh n tyler is my aesthetic
Ella Rose me too
That literally doesn’t make any sense.
8:49 my favorite part of this whole interview.
Anyone else kinda miss old billie like before when we all fall asleep where do we go
she’s the exact same she’s just a lot happier
DRINKING GAME:
Take a shot every time Billie says “like”

Me to my guitar teacher: I’d really love to learn “Something” by The Beatles
My guitar teacher: what song would you like to learn by them?
Me: “Something”
My guitar teacher: What song?... OH
So random 😂
😂
A guitar teacher doesn’t know one of the greatest songs of all time
15:53 oh my gosh she so adorable who thinks she *adorable* just me? *THAT LAUGH*
Can't figure out who she reminds me of with the way she talks and shit but damn she's beautiful

3:57 i lost my earbuds like a few days ago and i can not relate enough to this
Everyone remembers the first time they heard The Beatles. Your authenticity is what makes your art beautiful. Thank you for your contribution Billie. The poetry transcends generation gaps.
" I think the world is so caught up with just liking things because everyone else likes them. " Y E S.
Literally Billie Ellish album is the best of 2017 and still hear it as often as the first time and with the new song she release I hope she releases an album this year
i think my favorite this about this is that she’s not afraid to compliment other artist!! yes girl👏👏👏👏
fav interview of all time hands down. host had some good questions and i like how you spoke on some things in your interpretation i like Rob’s mind just as much as i love Billie’s ugh
She was trying to hide so many things but now she's so open and authentic, you can see a really big difference
WHO SCREAMED WHEN SHE SAID TWENTY ONE PILOTS OMFG
danklez ME
my weAVE FLEW TO MEXICO
no bc y'all have been spoiling people in the comments
MEEE
__mxrph im a BANDITØØØØØØØØØ
i think what she’s trying to say is that certain songs or artists are cool to listen to until they’re no longer cool to enjoy. they get a stigma attached but if you just cut all of that bullshit out, you can find something to love in just about anything. even if you don’t like the sound of a song, the lyrics can speak straight to you.
5:54
*needless to say I’m shook*
Lillie Shippy im a ban- im a BANDITØØØØ
Me too
I loved 21 pilot's from 2017 broooo I never realized she said it 😳
“I would rather die than be artificial” Word!
Well I mean she is artificial she is the biggest gimmick. She is the definition of gimmick
"You don't have to go through anything to write about or you can go through everything and write about something else."
I just noticed she says "like" a lot and I can't ignore it anymore rip
Angel On Fire well you just ruined the entire vid for me lol
Shes 16 soooo
Angel On Fire i feel like its an american thing lmao
She's a teenager and a Cali girl...
I cant
I had to watch like every single interview with Billie for work and this one is BY FAR THE BEST INTERVIEW SHE'S EVER DONE. thanks to the host and Billie
She is my spirit animal
Been watching Billie interviews all week and this one is the best by far! Great job!
Beautiful lady no plastic surgery
Billie speaks FACTS bro it’s so unreal ❤️
its been 5 years and this is still her best interview ever
I love this interview, so chill and natural
I died when she said “make it in the closet” because it reminded me of that story of how she accidentally peed in the closet at the doctors office. 😂😂😂 ily billy

@@wlfiegamer6674 Yes but its an Americanism that may be copied. Try not to say it because it does sound ridiculous. Not eloquent in the slightest.
I’m 56 and my 16 year old daughter got me listening to Billie Eilish ... what a talent this girl has . Not afraid to be herself either .. I know without a doubt that she’ll be around for a long time !!!!! 👍🏻🤟🏻
12:04
Exactly. I thought it was brilliant how she was able to get into the mind of someone that she wasn't.
i mean the first 20 seconds of this video, is why i look up to billie.
Crazy that she said Peggy Lee and just the other day she did a tribute to her at the Hollywood bowl
That is the best interview of Billie I've ever watched! That guy is such a great interviewer
This is amazing. Billie has matured so much.
Does anyone else think she looks a lot like
Scarlett Johansson especially when she smiles??🤔🤔
Yeah I see it. Slim face, gorgeous cheekbones
Yeah totally
I noticed
Now that I’ve read this I can’t unsee it
YES!!!
This girl inspires me so much because seeing someone my age that has gone so far being herself and being able to make art and reach people is really amazing. I hope people finally realize that teenagers aren't useless as everybody says, and start to recognize us as people of value and with a lot of talent to show. Billie, you're fucking great.
who's binge watching billie's old interviews at 2021?
she's 01?! wow good for her, she is winning
No she's 16
@ambob I knew it! my friend was fighting me on it and I just went with what she said because she scares me and we didnt care to look it up 😂
@ambob thanks :)
Oh my goodness gracious my mother is so woke

OMG I did not get it at first but now I get it LOLOL
This dude is so chill
She is for real so wise wtf she just spitting fax
idk why, but Billie makes me feel so inspired. Like she makes me wanna do something with life. Not like I haven't thought about doing things with my life, but she makes me wanna do more.. I strive to find an actual friend who makes me inspired, man Billie is that friend
This is a genius interview.
Just think about that for a minute.
Lmao
she’s such a amazing human
I love that wise lil soul
I've watched this interview like a million times!!
When she was talking about how she can't survive without music and that is literally me! It's how I cope with life and like if I can't listen to it, I will literally cry like if my parents take my earbuds, I'm in tears within 5 seconds.
