Billie Eilish - Carpool Karaoke | Voice Teacher Reacts

What a different world it would be if every parent was like her parents, supporting and embracing our kids talents...

[@kayarnold3151]

Some of us try. My almost 10 year old loves art, in all forms. Paint, water color, sculpture, drawing, make up. We buy her tons of art supplies. We just let her play. For her it's fun, but the artist is emerging. Her art teacher at school is amazing at teaching art mediums and styles so she comes home and plays around with what she's learned. Even if she never does anything else with art when she gets older, we feel like it's an amazing outlet to express herself so if she needs more paint, she's going to get it.

[@FourthStar]

@@kayarnold3151 That's awesome! Kudos to you for the supportive parenting :) Good thing is, even if she doesn't make a career out of, say, painting, I believe it's important to be in touch with some form of art you enjoy. Drawing, and similar forms of artistic expression, are too often associated with childhood, and given less value as we grow up (since they're not productive, in the most conservative kind of way). More adults could use being more child-like, if that is the case. I believe it helps in keeping us more human :) Sorry if that was a bit long or seemed to go in a weird direction! It's just that I feel grateful, as a 31 years old that only now has decided to try to make a living out of my art. Even if I avoided turning my hobby into a job for a really long time, my parents were supportive and that allowed me to have this career option right now. Keep nurturing creativity :)

[@kayarnold3151]

@@FourthStar everything about your comment is beautiful! Keep doing your art! We all need an outlet of some form. If we all could be more supportive of each others endeavors, the world would be a better place.

[@Ocelot80524]

mine kinda tried too, my mom wouldn't quit drinking so i could take lessons in anything though. so i got tap shoes and tapped around my garage until i realized no classes were coming. got a guitar and a music book, and after a year of telling them i couldn't read it my mom got mad when she found it in the bottom of my closet. well where'd you think it would end up we lived by a dance studio with a gymnastics gym across the street from that, and a music store attached to our grocery store did lessons so we were actually pretty well set up with options. my parents had a REALLY active kid. and then they kept that kid out of all sports, all extracurriculars, and wondered why the grades went from As to Ds and i barely managed to graduate. if i have kids, i don't want to try to make life's struggles disappear for them. but it hasn't made my fiance homeless or ruined his life to pay a couple hundred $$ per year so his daughter has activities. my mom always said, "you won't go and i'm not paying all that money for nothing." but she never tried letting me go to anything. this girl is like the biggest potato in the world, if you watch her at home you wouldn't guess how much stuff she's in at school. but she WANTS to do that stuff, and i tried explaining the same thing. i'm 2x this kid's age and i still get it, idgaf. you don't want to put dishes away. at any age, tbh. but a sport you're good at? and you have people who like you there and there's no dishes and there might be snacks? school activities were the best :'( i was such an outcast and i still had fun when i did field trips and the few things i actually got to show up for so i think high school might've actually been at least 80% less terrible if i'd been allowed to do things. like my mom just wanted me to follow her around silently all day gtfo

[@FourthStar]

@@Ocelot80524 I'm really sorry to hear that they wouldn't let you do those things. Yeah, kids won't want to do a lot of stuff if they're told to (who does??), but if they really want something, they have more than enough energy to spend on it! But I'm glad that it didn't turn into resentment, in the sense that you know you wouldn't wish that on other kids. That's a wonderful attitude to have! :) It seems like you have chosen a great partner, as well 😊 If you don't mind me asking, as well, are you doing any activities now? Like playing an instrument or taking any lessons you want. Even if you weren't allowed to before, it's always good to know that it's never too late to start doing what you want c:

Sam @ 24:40: "I think she just thinks in colors." Billie has synesthesia (even made a museum exhibit that explores this), the definition of which is: "Synesthesia is a neurological condition that causes the brain to process data in the form of several senses at once. For example, a person with synesthesia may hear sounds while also seeing them as colorful swirls." I'm fairly confident Sam had no idea ... He's just that good. ❤

[@wtfisgoingonhere1076]

My son played a video game he found online several years ago, with the main point of the game being able to insert and immerse yourself into a digital persona mimicking (as much as possible) what perception is like for someone living with synesthesia as their norm. He said the game was crazy & fckd with his head, but he loved it and it changed his approach & perspective regarding a lot of everyday things. I need to call him and get the name of it. If it’s still out there, I’ll share the link here for sure!

[@LukeTaylorOfficial]

Billie is living in a moment and is at an age where her singing is entirely a reaction of how she feels. You nailed it when you said she doesn’t for a moment think about technique. As she gets older, lives a bit and sees more of the world, her feelings towards singing will inevitably change. Hopefully she explores her capabilities sooner rather than later though....Oh and James killed it AGAIN.

I feel like if I had the freedom and support to do what I love I wouldn’t be here now that I’m almost 23 and just now trying to figure out what I wanna do w my life and what I’m good at.

I got emotional too because I went through the same thing. To this day I'm terrified of singing in front of other people because of my mother.

And it's so beautiful when you see parents take that into consideration.

I love how she was just "allowed" to keep making music by her parents. She wasn't made to feel guilty, she wasn't embarrassed by her parents, she wasn't scolded. Was just allowed free reign to explore and keep trying and enjoying and growing as an artist and as a person. I've never heard of that before, even among other kids whose parents encouraged their music careers. Certainly, her family is the exact opposite of mine where my mom couldn't scold me and shut me down fast enough when I play a single note on the keyboard.

[@wtfisgoingonhere1076]

Why I love Billie on another level: I sang before I walked when my mom would sing to me. I sang constantly and played with every instrument I could get my hands on. I am a born singer. It just is what it is. However, I was shut down by several people at 8 years old and only sang quietly and secretly. It want because I couldn’t sing and sing well. It was that one person wanted quiet around him at all times and another few people who made fun of the faces I unknowingly pulled while singing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m living vicariously through Billie & that makes me feel really good. Lol I’m 46 now and singing fully unabashed again... with COPD (dr says that singing could very well save my lungs from further damage and allow me a much longer life). Billie is such a refreshing example of personal art from deep within one’s being & art in general while remaining authentic. I can’t listen to any of her stuff without feeling compelled to keep fighting; fighting to gently get my full voice back, and fighting to save my life. I love her musical soul for that (and many other artists!). Damn that girl is amazing!!! Exactly what I needed at this point in my life. People often say they’ll go down swingin’. I, for one, will be going down singin’. 🤘🏻🥰

Her lyrics and aesthetic values are top shelf and she makes it readily apparent that the "limitations" apparent in her songs are a matter of choice, as you mentioned. A good example of why the idea of "good music is dead" being a supremely flawed concept; the best songs of previous generations are those who stood the test of time. We forget the ones who were awful at the time, and it's nice to have a reminder that the same gems exist in this generation too.

Shout out to their parents!! Seriously. I just barely watched an interview Phineas did with Zach Sang and I have SO much respect for them & their family dynamic. They were both home schooled and their parents moved their bed to the living room so they could use Phineas' to record & Billie could have her own room. I had the chills the whole time she was talking about her family. She seems so chill and humble. So grateful for them. It's funny hearing how this song was made, but you can tell the emotion of it being the catalyst for both of them, and I feel that she feels that. Definitely recommend watching that interview, if you haven't yet. He explains the ways they essentially are the perfect duo and family here to take over the industry. (My words, not theirs, of course.) I agree with you...reacting. acting. Empathy seems like it would be very beneficial to possess for acting. GO JAMES HARMONIZING KING!

I may be alone in this but I think she’s young and doing wildly well so she should keep her other options/sounds in the back pocket until she needs them. Maybe at 25 she can start belting and boost her career again.

[@diandracoleman3679]

Jasmine Leopard agree, she’ll definitely need to practice those other sounds tho

[@MariaLuiza-tp2dc]

@@diandracoleman3679 yeah but she doesn't need to write songs to practice, she can practice privately

[@largerooster587]

That's what Sam said. He wanted her to have more singing options "for later in her career/life" as he said :)

[@Pumpkin0_0]

@@diandracoleman3679 I've gone to her concert and she went full out on most of her songs, dancing on two twisted ankles at that, this past September. Believe me, she can easily reach those notes and what we usually hear is just her own style, like Sam said.

[@HP_1227]

I love Sam's positivity and honesty. Need more of this on KZbin. 😍

[@ericadoyle2592]

I just don’t understand why people think everyone has to belt when they sing. Singing is like art, it’s all different but it’s still art. She has a beautiful voice, just the way it is. She was also in a choir as a young kid, so she’s had proper voice training. You don’t have to sound like everyone else to be classified as a great singer. To me, it’s just what’s pleasing to the ear.

[@MariaLuiza-tp2dc]

I agree, people want to say that to be a good singer you have to domain all areas of singing and write songs with all of them to show off, no, if she wants to practice she can do it alone, she doesn't need to release an album with a different tone or voice to prove that she can do something

[@KatDorroughMusic]

M a l u z i n h a h THIS! All of this! I get so frustrated with the policing of art. Music is art. Thank GOD not everyone’s art looks or sounds the same. And the “pretty voice” comments are so SO condescending. Her voice is emotional. It’s not “pretty”. It’s raw and emotional and vulnerable.

[@Kat-qr7hv]

I want more people like Sam in the world. Just genuinely nice people. These videos warm my heart

[@tenorgurll4429]

I’ve had such a hard time describing to people why I love Billie so much, outside of liking her music, and I think you really nailed the idea. She just gets so into every song, it’s contagious. A song to her always involves what emotion she wants to convey. I am so excited to where the future will take her. And great video! My favorite one so far!

[@stevenclubb7718]

She's my pop Alice Cooper. There's such a wonderful theatrical quality to her performances. Music can get a bit samey for my tastes, but she's always delivers a good performance.

[@MM-cp4rm]

This video is so special! I love them all, but this one is really sweet! Thank you for always being such a kind and supportive person!

[@cassidyrose6983]

We obviously need a reaction to compilation of James corden now

[@adamschlinker972]

I'm so glad you mentioned that she sounded so different in this video. She had so much soul in the carpool karaoke. It felt much more effortless and emotional. I wish she'd always do that.

[@christeenduhk6772]

Havent watched yet since i'm at work. But i am already over-the-freakin-moon excited to see this! Love you and love her, cant wait!

[@theTimeIsNow2009]

Sam - your eyes are so bright and happy! Ive just stumbled on this video and you personality is so refreshing. Your sound like you're a pretty cool guy and you know what you're talking about with voice review.

[@jessicabrissette4531]

This is one of my favorite commentaries that you've done. I didn't really know Billie's music at all, I know her look and I watched her on SNL. But I did watch the carpool karaoke and I loved her singing in the first song. I think it's go interesting how she can change her sound effortlessly and I really can't wait to hear her music and sound evolve.

[@bigdaddyrrbh277]

Hi Sam. Came across a reaction you did some time ago (sorry can't remember which), and really loved the way you break it all down to easily understand. And now finding this after seeing Billie's Carpool last week. You are a wonderful human being.Yes, you bought a tear to my eye during that moment. I could be wrong, but I hope you receive that same support. Very knowledgeable at your craft. Love the way you go about it all. Keep up the great work.

[@NorthernHedgeWitch]

I hope her parents see this so they can hear your kind words

[@biancabm90]

The original Carpool Karaoke video made me cry, and this analysis of that video made me double cry! This was so good and thoughtful, and indeed the first video I've watched on your channel hahah and now I wanna see more! You've got yourself a new subscriber :)

[@danaezevely4150]

As always, awesome analysis. And I think you’re so right: Billie’s parents did good. I’m about to become a parent, and I can only hope to provide such a supportive environment for my kid’s interests. Beautiful. I teared up a little when she and you talked about that.

[@luna.37]

Best wishes for your new family!! You'll do great, I'm sure. ❤️

[@danaezevely4150]

Thank you Luna. 💙 So sweet of you to say. Sometimes the internet can be a kind place.

I felt exactly this when I watched this. In the same situation as well. Good luck!

[@bielsabas4407]

I absolutely love how you said she's reacting to what she's seeing and her singing is her reaction to that. Man, sometimes I just have a lot of feelings and I wish I had an outlet like her.

[@gloriaburns3606]

I love that she is not a "Cookie cutter" pop star...Billie and Finneas are their own people...they do things their way...they're going to be legends❤️❤️❤️

[@argoneonoble]

Really? I think of a Billie. I think of another mainstream celebrity brandishing designer labels. Everyone I see her she has some brand in big letters printed on her billboard size clothes

[@ambertownsend9684]

You’re so authentic in your reactions. I can tell you just adore Billie (and James) and it’s so refreshing. Your critiques are always kind, but not falsely kind.

I love how you describe everything. Its so well said, you break it into pieces I was unaware I was experiencing. So great!

[@Johnny_Blaze]

I was really not a fan of Billie Eilish before this video, but the video made me really want to give her a try. She is so real and honest.

[@Oatmilllk]

Have a listen to some of her acoustic renditions of her songs. Incredible

[@Koricore]

Aw Sam you made me tear up when you got all choked up, thank you for this wholesome content 💜

[@planetarygoo]

“She thinks in colors” she actually has synesthesia and explains how it helps her create music

[@bayduvegrolode4531]

I heard that Mariah has that too. That kinda explained why both of them can create such unique and creative musics.

[@etaylor8028]

Really? Because I've always thought that songs sounded like colors and yet I have no musical talent. I think synesthesia is a sign of a creative mind but not necessarily a musical mind.

[@planetarygoo]

Eleni Taylor it’s not really a sign, it’s a condition where your senses are just wired differently

[@bayduvegrolode4531]

@@planetarygoo Yea they would literally 'see' the colors/shapes from their eyes the moment they heard something, I can't imagine haha

[@etaylor8028]

​@@bayduvegrolode4531 It's not quite like that. We're not seeing something that isn't there like a schizophrenic. It's more just a feeling, at least to me. Like if you had a friend called Bob, you might see or hear the word "Bob" when you saw him, even though that word isn't literally around him. Even if you don't think of the word, he'll still "feel" like a Bob. I also, like Billie, get night terrors, so idk if it is linked. Maybe there actually is a small element of schizophrenia in there (seeing/hearing things that aren't there).

[@pancakesrock09]

When I first watched the original carpool karaoke video, I cried at the same part. What amazing, supportive parents they have!

[@angizzz]

If you wanna hear her belting, look up "billie eilish-fallin cover" it's just a short clip, but that's some good stuff right there or her cover of michael jackson-bad

Great analysis as always, Sam. Very honest, respectful, & informed.

First time I saw you having fun and party on one of your reactions. Good to see you smiling and truly enjoying stuff. Still a good, quality delivery, just like always. Thank you.

[@missliss2581able]

I have to confess is drives me a little crazy when people are like “I wanna see her belt!” As she said herself not everyone has to be shouting to be good at singing and she does belt but it’s not as loud as Adele belting. But listen to “wish you were gay” “the end of the world” or her cover of “bad.” She most definitely belts on each one of those songs. I actually enjoy that she’s not trying to blast us with her voice at 100 decibels like everyone else. She’s far from “one trick”

[@CJ-vj1ze]

She mentioned in an interview before that she’s lost most of her chest voice because of all the years of singing in a choir and how it affected her voice.

[@eoa363]

What does that mean, to lose your chest voice? Is it a form of damage or can she get it back?

[@madita.ronsiek]

What interview?? Do you remember??

[@emamut9936]

I think she can sing really well in a chest voice if she tried/wanted to. I love her the way she is.

[@luna.37]

I think she's just maturing, and notes like the last one in "ocean eyes" or in "copycat", for example, are harder to hit as your voice deepens and becomes richer as you age. That's "head voice", right? I think her chest voice is changing with age, and maybe she's not even recognized yet how that's impacting her, and how to harness it. I hope she gets a good coach as that would probably help a lot, and aid in protecting her voice from all the touring, too.

[@artiehartsell]

Omg my choir teacher was always soooo intent on singing “through our unicorn horn.” I think I would have been a stronger singer had I not been focusing sooooo much on singing from my forehead

[@jazzyparntz6451]
