Billie is unfolding her genius shrewdly: she started out shocking us and getting our attention. Then she was subdued and mysterious. Now she is "letting" us in and giving us reasons to care. Opposite of most "new" top artists. I think she's onto something.

[@Jaqvander]

It's a natural development dude, nothing shrewd about it

[@debishvebishwish4839]

The thing is, it's not like we are shocked because of her attitude or stuffs, we are shocked because of her massive talent at a very young age combined with Finneas's genius production that sound so fresh. You cannot made that up.

[@lipi6957]

@@debishvebishwish4839 Your right.

[@strawwberryyy]

or maybe... she was just a teenager and now she's growing up

[@_gremlinboy]

That's such a weird and cynical way to look at a 18 year old's life. Just because her music is popular doesn't mean her life is a strung-out publicity stunt, she's been the same person since she was 13.

[@robynandjoenewton3511]

"I never thought I'd be happy again" - Yup! That's one of the scariest things about depression. Billie's willingness to be so open about her struggles will likely save lives - if someone so cool, so smart, talented and amazing battles with depression, then other youth who also struggle with depression can see that they also are amazing human beings . Ignore your critics Billie - they are the ones that have the problem.

when i was 10 my dad committed suicide and i was tired of life and never thought i could heal from that and in the midst of that, i listened to ocean eyes for the first time and a tear rolled down my cheek and then a little while later i figured out she had depression, and so did my dad and i know that is extremely hard to go threw and i support her 100%. love you billie

Respect for her giving the youth hope that when they feel like giving up that there is a way out and to recover. She is the perfect role model. Youth suicide is worse than you know and she is really hitting the right target to help them. Respect.

Billie and her dark times are so relatable to me. I'm glad I'm not alone. Finally a celebrity that gets me. She has an angelic tone and how she speaks makes her more human. Like yes she's just like me. And she's only doing what she loves and it's an open invitation to her art while people shit on her for no realistic reason! She is amazing!!! She is awesome and I pray she stays protected by love and all that is good and joyful 😇😇😇😇
