Imagine being in this audience and thinking that what the atmosphere really needs is for you to scream at the top of your voice during the performance.

[@HKAMILAH]

People are so silly lol, you should have been able to hear a pin drop. Wish I was present for that performance.

[@allycattreasures853]

Billie is so deliberate with her notes. She perfects each tone the way she wants them to be.

[@christianebbertz7057]

What makes me addicted to Billie Eilish is that she is able to give each song its unique mood, like having for each song a different singer. For Example compare "No Time To Die" to "Come Out And Play".

[@godcaoss]

Funny, cause for me they sound all in the same mood.

Glad to see as a vocal coach, you're not pushing everyone to sound the same or use the same techniques.

Artistry can be delivered in so many ways. If everyone sounded the same that'd get pretty boring :)

They wanted something spine tingling and intense for this as its Daniel Craig’s last Bond movie - it fits his character. He had final say on the song choice.

[@minsnail2276]

Billie's voice is perfect for this. She uses her voice so well, especially in setting specific moods/atmospheres. I'd love for you to react to Still Love You by Lee Hongki and Yoo Hweseung. They're Korean artists from two seperate bands, but they have some awesome vocals. (Sadly there's no live version, only the music video, but they eat their CDs so there isn't too much difference sound wise)

Interesting little facts... The conductor is Hans Zimmer, one of the greatest movie score composers of all time and the guitarist is Johnny Marr from the lengendary band The Smiths.

[@vondamorphew3505]

Love it! Her voice sounds so effortless, although I know it is not.

[@ChrisWiley]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but Billie and her brother Finneas both wrote this song.

[@iKozak99]

Not a big fan of Billie's music in general, but this song gives me serious goosebumps. I have a serious admiration for her voice. Very soft, clear, and like you say, you hear all the little inflections, and subtleties.

[@godspeedhero3671]

Holy fuck, I hadn't heard this one before. VERY impressive.

[@Fogyreef]

Julia, your two part reaction at 6:32; an artist who can do that to an experienced coach; a person who can do that to another person; those are the moments I live for. As an empath I feel what you felt every time I watch it. I mean, you're already enjoying yourself; you're into the song fully, and then she takes you to another world, your jaw dropping anticipation before the peak, then pure joy after. Quite the authentic moment.

[@McDevittMike]

As a vocal coach, I'd be interested to see you react to Angelina Jordan. You can start when she's a child (7 or 8) or anytime since (she's 14 now), it doesn't really matter., but her version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins (!) 'I Put a Spell on You' is one you'll surely never forget. She was 9 at the time. If you think Billie is good (and she certainly is), Angelina and her relationship with her voice and music almost defy belief - much like Billie. For your own pleasure, check her out. Despite her age, it would be a grievous error to think of her as a 'child singer.'

[@mauijttewaal]

Amira Willighagen is great too:)

[@avarast]

Honestly she is fantastic and I agree 100% about "showing off", I feel like Billie get a vision of a song and try her best to convey that emotion, her voice is a tool to get there, not the main focus. She never does too much, she always sounds like herself !! I think she is a very interesting artist !

[@Robert_Herring]

I enjoy Billie because of those subtleties. So often modern music can be overwhelming, she uses silence and nuance to be engaging.

[@PauloRenato23]

Billie has such an unique smooth balance to her voice, it's just incredible to listen to her sing... to me she's the best woman vocalist around, just love her voice! And again, loved to see you get swept by the music instead of just trying to analyze it, said it on another video and will say it again, it's what makes your videos different from other vocal coaches. Cheers

[@mitcht2717]

Now you have been fully vindicated in your judgement - Billie won the OSCAR and her song there was beautiful - and she's singing with such strength now [well, in her own way she always has!] - I'm a 68 yr. old Billie Believer and went to my first concert in over 40 years, at St. Paul, Minnesota Xcel Energy Center on March 15, 2022 - it was a highlight of my life; Billie was awesome! She gives her fans everything. Tomorrow, March 29, marks 3 years since her debut LP "WWAFAWDWG" (March 29, 2019) on her Mother's Birthday. You have followed Billie some - it's remarkable from 13 - 15, on "Don't Smile At Me"; 16-17 on WWAFAWDWG, 18 - 19, on "Happier Than Ever" - and Billie's versatility is phenomenal - from "idontwannabeyouanymore" to "Bad Guy" or "Bury A Friend" - she combines the balladeer and the (previously unseen) rock star in "Happier Than Ever" (the track). Billie directed the music video. Olivia Rodrigo had a super year and has a super career; Taylor is awesome; Lil Nas X is courageous and superb - how would a person pick Grammys for Sunday, April 3, 2022 - I'm thinking Billie will win 1 for sure, maybe 2, and Olivia could win 3 or 4.

[@stephaniemoldawsky6391]

[@MrLilDevlin]

Great reaction Julia. :) Love your analysis on how Billie Eilish uses subtleties to captivate the audience. Another signer you should check out is Lara Fabian, she is also a master technician and is known though out the vocal community as "The Ring" due to her impressive resonance. Any song from her Lara with Love concert would be a treat to analyze. Some recommendation from that concert are: Je suis malade (French song theres a video with eng subtitles, its best to use that one to understand the deep meaning of the song that she conveys): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofZnaCmpJqab80 Adagio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHzXf6iCfJqdd9E Broken Vow (song starts at 1:08): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-5g2OvgJ14mZo Caruso (Italian song, video with eng subtitles): kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIq9iJWwetKKj5I Thanks Julia.

This was a really cool breakdown. I learned a lot. (Oh and I’ve seen the film twice now. It’s wonderful and the song fits beautifully.)

[@bigboyrise]

:O 5:37 awesome tone, I really really love your voice, I just found your channel and I'm definetly subing ^^ Btw I love a song that Billie covered on radio 1 I think, It's calld ''The end of the world'' I think you should really react to that one if you havent already, It's so diferent from the original and it made me cry like a little baby the first time I listened to it >.

[@emmadoggy]

I had the exact same reaction to her cover of "The End of the World". Just hauntingly beautiful and utterly heartbreaking. Bawled my eyes out.

[@MarcioNSantos]

Great!

[@onyx2047]

If you don't know who Aurora is then I can see how people can be in love with Billie. She said it herself, she heard Aurora at 11-12 and decided: that's what I want to sound like (and no one can blame her!). I feel that she basically brought Aurora's sound to North American ears and became popular for it. She has done well in attempting to make Aurora's sound her own. For those interested in learning and hearing more, check out Julia Nilon's reaction review to Aurora's "It Happened quietly". She will transport you through time and space

[@donepearce]

You didn't spot Johnny Marr from The Smiths providing some archetypal James Bond guitar? And the high harmonies from Finneas...

[@jvoxfox]

Just focusing on Billie in this one. I also ignored Hans. Honestly though I freaking love the collaborative nature between Finneas and Billie. It's so goddamn good.

[@donepearce]

@@jvoxfox Well, Hans kind of goes without saying. But I think the relationship between Billie and Finneas is complex. I watched their lockdown video with Finneas on a Wurlitzer electric piano, and his mood seemed to shift from moment to moment. Sometimes he was definitely giving her the evil eye. I don't know if that is just his perfectionist nature demanding all from his sister, or whether maybe he has some bipolar issues.

[@jvoxfox]

@@donepearce interesting observation. I think things can become complex the moment mental illness develops into a very real thing. Part of why their music comes across as so real is because it is and I don't think the darker tones in their music could only come from Billie.

[@vp4744]

Who'd have thought Johnny Marr supporting Hans Zimmer supporting Finneas supporting Billie for a Bond theme.

hi julia! i loved this reaction - please could you react to tori kelly or hayley williams? they're both phenomenal singers and you might like them

[@shanialover]

Dear Julia, I asked before and you talked like your reaction would have to be gentle but I am asking again to PLEASE react to the black & white version of Angelina Jordan sing I Put A Spell On You. I finally got other reactors to go ahead & react to her and I subsribed to you the day you reacted to my guy Dimash sing SOS because I really liked your knowledge so I think if you do a full reaction to that song you will be as amazed at the end as others are who doubted reacting to it until they did. If you truly have problems like you THINK you will then say it but PLEASE do a reaction. She also has well over 100 other songs including 5 of her own songs so the possibilities to react are endless. One of the others if you insist is her tribute to Whitney with I Have Nothing.(made me cry like she usually does)

[@lhmj]

I love her ability to recognize that she doesn't belt the best, as evidenced in her documentary. But we've had that before with Adele and Sam Smith, this is the final piece of the trilogy of these themes. I tend to listen to them all in a stretch. I will disagree that Bond themes aren't big cinematic pieces, especially the further you go back into the catalogue. Love your videos!

[@electrospud9230]

if theres one thing i would really like to hear... is to have Julia actually sing this song :)

I promise you will keep on listening to it all day long. By the way, I so love the wau you react. More love from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️

[@McLeod2022]

Not applicable to this but Finneas, her brother and producer, gave an interview where he said he is always sampling for things to use in production and post. In Bury a Friend there is a dental tool sampled when she was at the dentist. In Bad Guy the high hats is actually the sound they recorded in Australia at a crosswalk... a ticky tacky sound. Something to listen to after Billie and another pass to see what is hidden in the background. I imagine these are also used live off the digital sampler if desired.

[@satirikos1234]

Julia i also have a vocal question for you! i asked on the Dimash reaction video but i guess it got totally lost in the chaos of comments! Is it possible to blend the head voice with the whistle register and create something like a super head voice? kinda similar way you blend chest with head? i am asking because i know about Dimash! a great opera singer who also does reaction here on youtube stated that what he did on SOS was not whistle register!And you will see in future reactions of Dimash he usually goes easy all the way up to E6/F6 and sounds clean like a supreme head voice! So i am confused if someone can actually mix head/whistle

[@jvoxfox]

Hey Nikos! good question and I totally understand the confusion. Each register has a transition area in the voice (passagio) and what I heard was a narrowing of Dimash's sound as if he was approaching a transition to whistle register. He does not sing a pure whistle note in SOS. I just got really excited and wanted to explain what a full whistle register was because to me that sound of approaching a whistle mechanism matched up with comments saying he could sing them (just not in that video. he really doesn't leave second register in SOS even if he did narrow that sound). I really goofed up by cutting my comment prior to that section (it's in the description box of that Dimash video). As far as I know you cannot mix a whistle register and a second register because the whistle register requires that very specific mechanism that I explained in the video. Does that help at all? Anything else you'd like to know let me know!!

[@satirikos1234]

​@@jvoxfox I have seen coaches saying that this is whistle and i have seen others say that this is head voice! i was referring to that opera singer cause she was in a list of top 40 female sopranos under 40,so she is probably a pro when it comes to high notes! Still you need to listen more of his E6s and F6s to understand why its confusing! in my uneducated opinion it sounds head voice and not whistle register! Cause he has shown his whistle with E7-G7s,several times! I still haven't understood where exactly the passagio is happening ,probably i would say above F6,but we havent heard him yet attempting any G6 in head voice! Thank you for the answer though! I might refer to his high notes again in future videos to see if you change opinion or we find a conclusion!

[@jvoxfox]

@@satirikos1234 he is definitely in head voice in SOS! Even if he approached a change in register it didn't fully switch. A pure whistle has a different tonal quality to it. I just got way too excited and probably should have saved that explanation for a video where he does indeed demonstrate a pure whistle.

[@satirikos1234]
