[@teresaalderton1250]

I’m 59 years old and my great niece introduced me to Billie by way of the Bellyache video when it came out. I had heard Ocean Eyes, but didn’t pay much attention to it or who sang it so Bellyache was my starting point and I haven’t stopped since. This last album was an absolute masterpiece. It’s all I listened to over this summer. Every song is different and her voice and the music just take me somewhere else. U just keep doing u Billie because I’m enjoying watching your music evolve and u evolve.

[@LimitedEditioneo]

I’m 31 and I hope I always continue to listen to new music and genres when I’m your age and older. I think it’s so good for the mind and connection to the world

[@teresaalderton1250]

⁠@@LimitedEditioneoin our house growing up in the fabulous 70s and 80s, we always had music on, my parents, brothers, sisters, friends, never a day without it. As I’ve gotten older and busy with life and work, there will be weeks sometimes I go without listening to music and I think OMG, thou needs to restoreth thy soul and raise thy frequency and vibes, so I jam out to whatever is new and good. Music is soooooo delicious for the soul and dancing too. Don’t ever stop. Keeps u young at heart.

[@Lori_M]

I'm a 60 year old grandmother, and I'm a HUGE Billie fan. Our youngest daughter introduced me to her music in 2019, and I often listen to nothing but Finneas' and Billie's music for days on end.

[@breebenoit]

Found her early on and introduced my Granddaughter to her back when the album was released and got to take her to the Concert in 2020 right before the world shut down. She was 7 1/2, and we both had the best time. We haven't really listened to this new album.

[@dahls1195]

[@RoughLinen-TriciaRose]

Best interviewer since Mavis Nicholson

[@rgriffie]

This interview was truly fantastic. The interviewer conducted it with such respect and thoughtfulness, posing questions that were both engaging and insightful. Billie’s way of expressing herself is remarkable-her intelligence, introspection, and authenticity shine through effortlessly. As someone close to her age, I found her reflections on the challenges she faces and the lessons she’s learning incredibly relatable. She comes across as a kind-hearted and authentic person, which perfectly explains why so many people look up to her. It feels like we’re witnessing the start of a beautiful journey of self-discovery for her. I can’t wait to see how she continues to grow and thrive, and I wish her nothing but the very best for everything what’s to come.

[@mitcht2717]

I can't imagine an interviewee feeling tense or anxious in Anthony's presence - he is truly respectful interviewer - I think he loves what he does!

15:17 where she’s talking about training her voice…you can REALLY tell. Her voice has matured so much. Listening to songs like ‘L’amour’ and her cover of ‘Fever’ you can really tell that her style has developed as she’s grown. Like, her older stuff is good but some of her new vocals give me insane goosebumps 😍😍

[@brickmvster]

"you can't be creative if you have no room." "i am a person that is capable of loving and being loved and that's all i can do." "it's just complicated to be a person, isn't it?" this girl is so wise and eloquent i could listen to her talk about her creative process for hoursss. she really is just so profound, genuine, and so emotionally intelligent. this was a fantastic interview and also very therapeutic. so much of what she said during this conversation i deeply resonated with and needed to hear, especially the part where she talked about viewing vulnerability as a strength and her words on feeling stuck as someone who creates things and how she maneuvers around that feeling (means a lot to me as someone who wants to go into a creative field after college). honestly, billie is the only artist i genuinely feel on the same level as. not in terms of fame obviously, but in terms of mindset, emotions, and goals. not to mention she's only two years older than me so i see a lot of myself in her just bc of that too. i really am so grateful to be alive at the same time as her. being able to witness her art in this day and age is truly incredible.

The voice lessons were almost immediately noticeable. I remember months before hit me hard and soft was released and listening to her sing her older songs in concerts and it moved me so much. I noticed how she had started using different techniques and kind of playing with the way she sung her own songs. It sounded like her voice wasn't just a voice anymore but an instrument. I was also convinced she would use those techniques in her new album and I was right haha. Also it's pretty inspiring to see someone as big and famous as her never had taken voice lessons up until 2 years ago and then developing her voice even further even though she already had a career

[@Elizabethogolo]

I’ve been watching Billie interviews since 2017 and this might be my favorite one. The tenderness with which the interviewer, Anthony, asks questions and patiently waits for Billie’s answers which yield more interesting and relevant questions. The profound introspection and genuineness of Billie’s responses. She seems so much more mature, confident, and at peace with all the evolving aspects of her high-profile lifestyle that’s still filled with relatable and human discoveries. 46 minutes of perfection!

[@mitcht2717]

Me too - the one with Zach Sang where at the end his partner asked Billie about being an "industry plant" - that was amazing, also. When she is herself and comfortable her interviews are delightful. And the one on "the Kevin & Bean Show [ KROQ ], Nov. 20, 2018 where Billie shows never before seen cell phone photos of her love for Justin Bieber - that is priceless!

[@Marvinmartion]

I am 68 and this girl is incredible! Love her singing style and the softness of her voice! Anyone can belt it out or scream into the microphone! But she is in the song a part of the song when she sings! What a great interview!

[@mitcht2717]

I was 68 when I saw Billie in St. Paul, MN on March 15, 2022 - absolutely awesome - it was my first concert in over 40 years [John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Three Dog Night, Waylon Jennings!] I went alone but I treasured it and there were other people over 50 there.

[@jvcrist]

The odd thing about Billie (to me) is that I've never thought of her as "articulate", or even a person with a strong vocabulary; yet, she manages to communicate complex human experiences quite eloquently and has a level of self awareness at 22 that I feel I lack at 56. She is always polite and humble. When she has a bad interviewer, I've seen her get bored... but when she has a strong interviewer (like this guy), she comes up with the coolest observations in such a plain spoken manner. "Being vulnerable is a powerful thing to be"
