Renaissance Man Reaction to Billie Eilish - No Time To Die (Live From The BRIT Awards, London)

[@XicD]

And she had only just turned 18 when she performed this. Shes incredible

[@Oatmilllk]

yes and she wrote it with her brother Finneas

[@x.Teegz.x]

@@Oatmilllk lol that's so random

[@karlmuzingo7184]

She was 18 in this one, the youngest to ever do a Bond theme, also the first time she gave a big belt live. Billie and Finneas won their first Oscar with this song. They have two now, and are the youngest to do so, for the Barbie Song, What was I Made For.

[@Asterisk94]

Her performance of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas on SNL is amazing as well.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

That came up as a suggestion last night but I decided to wait to react to it around Christmas-time. It's one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs as well.

[@Asterisk94]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl she has a fantastic tone and feel for jazz so she unsurprisingly kills it

[@davopopi1718]

That was indeed a fantastic performance. But her SNL performance of “Male Fantasy” is still my favorite.

[@jenniferhof9448]

This song is the first one that she truly belted on, and it's just amazing. You should watch the Oscars performance of What Was I Made For from the Barbie movie - her and Finneas' second Oscar winner. Edited: I should have waited until the of the video, as I'd originally suggested here to do When the Party's Over. 💜

[@13dma1rz]

No one can ever say she doesn't rise to the occasion. She's just always stellar live.

[@vp4744]

"Everything I wanted" is another song from around the same time. They also released a music video for it.

[@nomadine85]

The goooooose bumps I get from her music. And her singing. Incredible

[@TheIgisas]

Same here!!!

This hasn’t even begun yet but I am begging for more Billie. * She also had a cold during this performance * It was written by Billie and FINNEAS ( who also produced it) with orchestration by Hans Zimmer . She is SO much more than the “ breathy” vocals that are really only a part of her vocal style.This was really the first time people have heard Billie belting - and she recently said that up until recently she wasn’t physically able to do it. People don’t realize that a certain amount of physicality that you have to develop in order to belt AND TO DO IT PROPERLY so as not to damage your voice. ( Like dunking in bball. Height alone is not enough.) And Yes, it is perfectly imperfect ( not unlike Ren). Innately talented and musically intuitive. And blessed to have been born to parents who fostered and encouraged them to explore and pursue any/ every creative outlet - homeschooling them both because even at an early age they could tell that a traditional school/ education would have dampened their creative nature rather than nurture it. I won’t bombard you with requests BUT I highly recommend songs off of her first EP “ Don’t Smile At Me “. Billie has a very jazzy tone to her voice, even at 15/16, mature beyond her years. I will , however, recommend the Colors live session of “ idontwannabeyouanymore”. It’s what made me a fan.

[@sandraschumacher5879]

she appears here with Hans Zimmer. Finneas produced and wrote it. There is a make-off for the performance, so you can clearly see how big her influence is on everything she does. she won her first Oscar with the song.

[@sandraschumacher5879]

The P. Nr. 1😊

[@emilypoppy19]

Co-wrote it ^

[@Oatmilllk]

Billie and Finneas 50/50 co-wrote it. The only Billie song that was solely written by Finneas is Ocean Eyes from when she was 13. All others are both Billie & Finneas, with a few written solely by Billie - Your Power, TV, The 30th

[@pinkietoe646]

may i also mention- she was 18 when she did this performance!!!

[@pinkietoe646]

im SO excited to see you react to when the partys over. i hope you appreciate the emotional depth of the video. and- all the effects are real!!! theres a behind the scenes on youtube and in her documentary that you can watch if youre curious how it was done

[@jorice5528]

Any Billie is superb 😊 her Fever cover with live band (2022) is freakin awesome ❤

[@davopopi1718]

Billie is a 1950s jazz crooner deep in her heart. Maybe in a past life. 🙂

It took Billie and Finneas wrote this song in 3 days. They started writing the song in the back of a bus. What a talent they are. I think her fingernails are gone now. 😀

[@gigatoob]

They love doing movie songs and have earned 2 Oscars apiece. Check out 'What Was I Made For'. She directed the amazing official video but her live Oscar performance was also superb. Thanks for checkin out Billie. Big BiFI fan here!

[@dash_inthedark6110]

They were invited to do a song for the last Bond, but as all the bond movies it was an audition, some artists/bands submit their music and they choose the better one. Hans Zimmer, that was doing the score and music direction for the movie was the one that decided this was the one and had them flight to London to work a week with him in the London studios w an orchestra. He also recorded Billie humming the song so he could used it in the score of the film, and he did use the melody in the score too so he really loved it a lot and was super impressed w them. Billie just turned 18 at the time . Both her and her brother wrote the song btw. This was the first time she performed it live, at the performance was also Hans Zimmer conducting the orchestra (he rarely does this performances shows you how much he believed this song) and at the end the guitarist is Johnny Marr, legendary guitarist from the Smiths. Finneas and Billie won their first Oscar with this music, Billie just turned 20 and he was 24. And btw they won another one last year, you'll probably get there soon enough.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Very informative and really nice job laying it out. Thanks.

[@dash_inthedark6110]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl there's a documentary called "The Sound of 007" on Prime that tell the story of Bond music through times, is super interesting i recommend it if you enjoy these kind of docs. There's a part talking about their song ofc but they talk about all the artists that did 007 music

[@nomadine85]

Billie’s song ALL have their own flavour, that’s what makes her so exceptional. Good observation, even with just having seen three. Every single song is like a world unto itself, consistent within itself and yet somehow there’s an overall consistency within the albums AND her entire discography. It’s pretty phenomenal. I’m glad you’re going to be experiencing more, and hope to watch you say many more wows haha

[@YuNgHaSaN]

The film no time to die was just incredible. Hope you’ve seen the film, incredibly emotional just as this song is

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Yes, those lyrics were specifically written for this Bond movie. She and her brother wrote it soon after a private viewing of the movie after being asked to write the theme song for it.

[@TheIgisas]

I like this side of her!!! So vulnerable 😢😢😢

[@chadhundley5502]

Just found your videos & I’m absolutely loving your personality/the way you present yourself. Sending love my man, keep pushing

[@nomadine85]

In an interview she said the nails helped her deal with body dysmorphia she felt about her fingers, which she used to deal with by having lots of rings. I’m with you, I don’t really get it. But hey. She also went through a phase of exploring her femininity and I think that tied in as well. To me they’re like non-retractable claws… just really impractical and disproportionate…

[@thekidyoufoundonthestreet9251]

The "when the party's over" mv is actually based off of a drawing she got from a security guard at a concert. Isn't that something

[@vp4744]

That Bond theme was composed by Monty Norman and arranged by John Barry for the film more than 60 years ago. BTW, that's Johnny Marr of the Smith's playing that minor chord on his famous guitar in this performance at the Brits. Billie and Finneas incorporated that Bond musical history while composing this song in a tour bus in a parking garage in El Paso, Texas.

[@jaedeepea21]

You should check out L’Amour de ma Vie, she has a nice lower register there as well.

[@nomadine85]

Ohh I’m excited for this one

[@rebirthlmao]

number 3!

[@TheIgisas]

Agreed

[@gilapotter8853]

the middle picture will be pretty, esp with her eyes like that :) even the one from before with the red top looks good... never seen that one before....

[@RikkieRokks]

i love billie as much as i love the warning...just two different animals...kinda like the difference between a unicorn and a dragon. you can guess which is which. the party is over is my favorite billie of all time....i even own an action figure of her from that video.

[@karlmuzingo7184]

With Halloween approaching, could you please react to Billie singing Sally's Song live at Danny Elfman's Nightmare before Christmas show a few years ago.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Good thinkin'. Adding it now if it's not already in my list.

[@eastonsmith484]

I like the thumbnail for birds of a feather or some new ones from her Glamour 2024 Nov issue photoshoot

[@karlmuzingo7184]

There are several behind the scenes videos and interviews on the making of this song and how Billie and Finneas became involved in the theme for this final Bond film for Daniel Craig. Enjoy!

[@horsehollerer]

I like top-right pic for a bit of old school hollywood glam. Honestly, the best photo I've ever seen of Billie is the cover of the Vogue November issue that dropped this week I think. Incredible pic. Cheers.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Thanks. Just went and downloaded it.

[@horsehollerer]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl Awesome. The hair and the suit+tie and the color of her eyes and of course the light. What a great capture! Anyway, I meant to say before that "When the party's over" was the first Billie vid/song I ever watched/listed to properly. I had assumed she would be sterile pop nonsense for kids. Holy crap, I swear that 3 mins would turn anyone into a fan of her artistry. And she came up with the entire video herself aged barely 16. Literally every frame she pre-filmed in her garden using her mom as a model. Enjoy!

[@nomadine85]

Regarding the drawing, you could try a chiaroscuro, I think that might be fun with the third image.

[@MattSA001]

Love the reaction! I would love to see you react to RAYE!! She has one of the most amazing voices and I truely love her music. Her live performances are just the best and would love to see you react to one of them. You can try Oscar Winning Tears Live at Royal Albert Hall or her Brit Awards performance 2024.

[@elenapizarro1692]

You should react to The Greatest, you will love it

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

2 more days left on my appeal to clear so that I can post it. It got blocked.

If you like personal stories: What was I made for…in this one the guitarist is Johnny Marr from The Smiths.

[@EpistemicResponsibility4All]

Well, it's not like Billie Eilish has to type, plus I'm guessing they come off after the show 🙂

[@Quasi_91]

You mentioned you did the Colbert performance (which I absolutely love). Has that been posted yet? I'm not seeing in on your channel.

[@EllieAngharad91]

Cannot stand the people who randomly whoop all the way through this. It just tells me you're not really appreciating the music. Billie has said in the past that she much prefers crowds to be quieter when she's singing her quiet songs.
