She personally selects every backing vocal on her songs. It’s all just her and her brother. If I did that, I wouldn’t want someone else’s voice replacing my vocals either. You should watch the Zane Lowe interview with her and her brother. They are such a fascinating pair of gifted artists.

its more of her personal preference to not have background vocalists. she likes to have her live performances capture the essence of her songs - in which case its almost always just her and her brother/producer finneas. there are only a few instances of a choir present with her for a live performance, examples include her 'when the party's over' performance at the grammys and 'goldwing' for her disney+ special. billie is also quite particular about features and doesn't do many with artists. its quite an admirable quality to be honest, she prefers not to rely on other artists' popularity or their vocals and thereby also has a more intimate feel to her shows - its always just her and finneas on stage (accompanied by their drummer andrew)

I appreciate the shout out to ACTUAL musicians and having them present (especially) for recordings and live performances. MANY are grieving losses brought about by the pandemic and the DIGITAL AGE we are experiencing. It's a new age. With new talents and abilities. MUSIC WILL LIVE ON.

i totally want billie and finneas to do full live band performances of their studio albums. there's so many great examples of this. yeah, it's not gonna sound the same. it might sound even better for the people at the show. maybe someday. billie has spoken about changing the arrangement for live performance, and when when she's seen other people do this and even though it sounds good she was left with the feeling of, "just play the fucking song i came to hear". maybe someday she'll be able to let go of that type of control and maybe her audience will appreciate it if and when she does.

@@eastonsmith484 yeah, for sure. there's a lot of playback but you should be able to tell that live vocals are also in the mix. i struggled with billie's live vocals for a while. the loss of air due to exertion. she's cleaned a lot of that up. you record a breathy vocal sitting cross-legged on your brother's bed, hunched over with dozens of takes and comps and then try to perform it jumping around on stage? of course it's gonna be a mess. i forgive it and the crowds fill in for her when she's struggling.

I’d love to see you react to the 30th. I think that Billie is a really great example of how an artist evolves , especially over such a relatively short period of time. I believe that she said in an interview that up until the Bond song she wasn’t really able to belt - physically. The 30th” is a song which is all about breathing and breathlessness. And speaking of BGV , check out Ren “Back On 74” Retake. And Chalk Outlines & How To Be Me

Hi Tim love your reactions! Look forward to more Billie, Dimash, Ren and friends. Please check out Aurora from Norway she is a gem and a true nature's child. Definitely a rabbit hole worth exploring! Her fan base call themselves Warriors and Weirdos for reasons you shall soon discover. You will best appreciate Aurora's live performances she is something else. A great introduction song would be Through the eyes of a child live at Nidarosdomen. The entire concert us mesmerizing. It's hard to pick a favourite there are so many but anything live you can't go wrong. I Especially love her tribute to Leonard Cohen with her cover of Famous Blue Raincoat it often gets overlooked and definitely needs more love. With gratitude Ness ❤

Loved the reaction! and loved that you talked about the mic cause the amount of people being like “this is playback/autotune, the mic is not even close to her mouth” is soooo annoying haha As for the background singers, I think she just doesn’t like working with more people lol she’s very particular about her vocals, she comps them herself and all that and even for instruments, she usually only has her brother and a drummer (she had full orchestras a couple times when performing No Time to Die and What Was I Made For at the Oscars or other big Award shows - highly recommend No Time To Die live at the Brit awards if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s beautiful!). And her brother does a lot of the harmonies. On concerts her crowd almost sound like background singers, if you watch videos of her concerts you can her everyone singing every single lyric with her, sounds cool and she seems to like that. But I do think for a performance like this one, background singers would be really nice.

How do you not see & hear Finneas singing harmony and the band behind the see-through plastic walls. And see the keyboard / bass and guitars players LIVE ! Yes, in this setting, there is definitely a backing track, but Billie & Finneas take pride in being as "live" as possible. I kept waiting for you to say, " Oh, I'm sorry I was wrong about Finneas & the production" But... oh well, nice reaction, I guess 😮

I was referring to the multiple additional vocal tracks that were added to the backing track. It was not Finneas’s voice I was hearing. And for what it’s worth, I have no problem with artists doing that. I’ve done that lots of times in my own music projects. All I’m saying is that it’s an opportunity to be more innovative with live musicians, but I respect artist taking tight artistic control of their performances like Billie and Finneas do. I just can’t help but feeling like there is some thing a little too ‘phoning it in’ when having your own vocals in a backing track that you sing live with once you get to a certain level of success.

Finneas was doing the back vocals (even if she had some of her own backing vocals too I think the main back vocals are coming from him). I do agree she could benefit w some real live singers, maybe in the future she will. For now I think she is comfortable using her brother as backing support for now. She has more musicians in this performance which was new to her so she probably will have a bigger band in the future

This was a wonderful performance, but I couldn't agree more about the backing track. They always do this and it always bugs me. For starters it arouses suspicion that she is miming ... and I've seen her a few times live, and I can assure you she is NOT, she is stunning vocally. Whenever they do raw acoustic sessions with just the two of them harmonizing without a click track, it's freaking amazing. I like my live music to sound live , not exactly like the record... using a clicktrack seems to be such a Gen Z thing and I'm prob being old fashioned LOL. One other thing, Billie riffs a lot more live. If you watch their NPR Tiny Desk concert from a few years back you'll see plenty of evidence of that. She's also doing more studio riffing on the new album imho (Skinny, Chihiro, L'Amour de ma Vie, etc). Many thanks!

Listen to the studio recording, not sure the band is even playing live... About the mic pull after the drop, it's exactly what is on the studio recording. The outro might be "live" more so than the rest of it all, but man, this is a television, nothing is what it seems on tv. 😢 But the studio recording is phenomenal, so at least THAT exists! So far, until i hear them perform this outside or at a festival, to "hear" it, my ears feel deceived
