The two guys who flank Billie on stage are her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas, and film composer colossus Hans Zimmer who we can thank for this beautiful arrangement.

[@SuperKuromiJoski]

The guy in the back is her brother Finneas, he produces Billies music and writes it with her, he has his own amazing music too.

[@shednotes3016]

And please dont forget the fantastic Hans Zimmer!

“That dude in the background” lol. Looks a lot like the guy who won all of those Grammy Awards with Billie.

Its her brother bro,

That's because its her brother

Lol her bro lol

[@shuriken4852]

Interesting facts: - The orchestra conductor is Hans Zimmer, one of the greatest film composer ever. - The guitarist is Johnny Marr for the legendary band The Smiths.

[@DatBRejectz]

I knew Zimmer was the conductor, but how I missed Johnny Marr has actually really annoyed me, such a legend. Thank you for making me aware ♥️

[@SilentAssassin01234]

The Smiths are just pure amazing British music. Nothing and no one else has sounded like them since their end.

[@McLeod2022]

THANK YOU for that info!

[@ricapragamac3462]

And i think its disrespectful to scream in between the song. Because its orchestra. Orchestra performance is different. Correct me if im wrong

people forget how young music superstars used to be, when you go back to the 80s and 90s. billie's kind of bringing back that era over the super young super stars

[@ghostwalker8699]

tntboysss empuerto the song was likely written when she was 17 though so Emmanuel is right in his statement :)

did she lie tho, he still is the dude in the background

[@Texastigerdigsdetects]

Swift Cat Yeah the dude in the background who is her producer co-composer multi Grammy winner (with Billie ) it’s sort of like saying MJ was the the guy who danced. True but not the whole story.

[@Laurica-lb6nv]

@@SC-hi6tp not the whole story tho the “dude in the back” did a lot of her career

[@Jack2729o]

Like every other musicians and producers work with the artists.. you don’t know them and you never see them with the artists .. he is most privileged producer in history for this 😂 normally people don’t know anything about them and they never make stage appearances, interviews with the artist Etc overall in history Finneas is very lucky bc he is her brother.

[@sparklekittenslife7036]

This is a bond song. Billie and the man on the piano, her brother Finneas, co-write and produce every one of her songs. At 18 she’s the youngest person to write a bond song. I love this song. Her voice can be so haunting.

[@anonymousgal5157]

Madisun Donaldson No, Billie and her brother Finneas wrote this song within 3 days. However this one wasn’t fully produced by them.

[@Maria-ve5xz]

"THE DUDE IN THE BACKGROUND" TARA SWEETIE PLEASE THAT'S HER BROTHER FINNEAS WHO IS JUST AS TALENTED

[@leylayurtsever8127]

M 40 you should listen to his song “I Lost A Friend”

[@masonsingz530]

M 40 yes, I agree. But Finneas also wrote a LOT of Billies songs. And yes she Billie is extremely talented, she wouldn’t be here without him.

[@sohyangworld1544]

@M 40 PERIODT

[@laurenmoffett4421]

M 40 I think music is individualistic. Finneas’ music has been there for me when billie’s could never. I have cried to I lost a friend so many times, I don’t miss you at all sent chills down my spine when I really listened to the lyrics. Billie’s music is crafted by finneas, he’s her producer, they write together, her songs are his to some degree.

[@noonebabes]

theyre both angels bestowed upon humanity

[@zaynabnajah6051]

"dude in the background" is her brother finneas who's an amazing singer and songwriter You should check him out Tara

[@laurenmoynagh2129]

I love that Billie is so big without having a powerful voice. It shows people that they don't have to have a powerful voice to have potential, some people try so hard to sound powerful when they can sound beautiful when they sing softer and focus more on other things like pitch, breathing and pronunciation.

[@joshharder8903]

i agree girl

[@lynnly2406]

Lauren Moynagh that’s why I fell in love with her as an artist.. she made me realize I don’t have to be big and bold to inspire others and give chills

[@MsMely11]

Exactly! I find myself paying such close attention to every note in her songs and i love that!

[@EJaramillo]

She does have a powerful voice though and amazing control. She chooses most of the time to sing softer. This song is a perfect example of that.

[@projectbricks9071]

@@lynnly2406 I love the use of quieter and a softer notes. Like you said not all lyrics have to be out loud and bold. It feels like a story, you get the intriguing vocals and extra emotion and it makes you curious on what the song is about.

[@shadowtheruler0]

When she said "dude in the background" I almost started crying ;-; How do people still not know about my man's 😪

[@babyxxxspice]

OMG ikr!? I've known about him since he played Alistair on Glee. Finneas is a wonderful artist :) Billie's voice is otherworldly in itself but her brother...... perfection for me!!!

[@myahernandez872]

Billie is such a king 😍

[@davidmole8299]

LGBTQ 😂 I think you mean queen 😂

[@ktreolo]

"The Dude in the Background" laughing so hard Finneas you are SO AMAZING and you two are halves of a whole. Also Tara, they (Finneas) produced their entire first couple albums from their childhood bedroom without any other input.

[@suzannesantos86]

I love Billie’s note bends and the harmonic choices she and Finneas make. It still amazes me that there is such dynamic nuance in her voice with so little volume, but I did notice she used a little less air this time and was really selective where she added it, or didn’t. I’m classically trained and can’t sing that soft at all. The note bends are easy if you listen and sing the Blues and Jazz enough. But volume control that soft is freakin hard to do and stay on pitch. Love her tone soooo much. Is that tone coming from squashing her vowels somewhat with her soft palate and using a more foreword placement? P.s. Please could you react to Dimash’s new song ‘Your Love’? It a collaboration between Dimash, Igor Krutoy and Lara Fabian. Thanks Tara. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👋👋🦘🦘🦘❤️❤️❤️❤️

"The dude in the background" 😂 is her brother, Finneas ❤ Amazing musician btw! You should check out and maybe react to some of his perfomances 😄

[@cathairr]

I absolutely love your comments. You completely understand that singers have different capabilities and each person works to develop THEIR package. I mean, you are a vocal coach so that is your job, but I see a lot of reactions wishing Billie would do more which annoys me. Sure enough that Billie hasn't demonstrated extreme belts yet, but she doesn't need to right now. She's mastered her art for where she's at right now in her career and she's clearly earned a following that worship it. With time she may even develop it further. On a side note though, as a vocal coach I think a great video for you to react to would be Leah McFall - Wolf Den (Live) - a vocal goddess in my opinion.

[@Blue-ll5xg]

Billies belts are so good

[@itsthini9653]

To me her voice is like drugs, listen to it once and u can’t stop

[@celinaxu5210]

Slowly deletes paragraph when I see the other half of the comment 😅

[@jonathan_8100]

Lmao fr

[@amandajensen1234]

Billie singing above a whisper: Literally everyone: :O FINALLY :O (I understand it's her style and I do enjoy listening to her songs)

[@Jack2729o]

It’s not just whispering 😂 check 20-60s jazzy music most of the most famous female artist sound like her 😅 she is more a jazz singer and in her EP she used more her basic vocal like everyone more open with the notes.

[@emilybanks3371]

billies thought process and how she wants things is insane like she knows exactly how everything is supposed be

[@Sueiza]

Yaaay, I was waiting for this one. I was almost scared you'd seen it on your own and wouldn't be doing a video, cuz this performance was everywhere. Guess I'll be the one to mention that the Bond-esque elements are entirely on purpose; this is the next Bond theme for, obviously, No Time to Die.

[@bruhraisins5463]

Every time she belts I get chills no cap

[@lucypreece7581]

I was watching the full BRIT awards show on TV on the day it aired and i remember i found her perfomance haunting. I was doing back and forth messaging with my Brother who was also watching and the only thing we sent each other after we heard this was just simply "Wow" and also brother is also a huge Jame Bond fan as well so he loved this a lot.

[@confidentlilbean]

Loved that we finally got some LOUDNESS from Billie in this performance. I genuinely cannot get enough of her, and am so happy you finally reacted to this. Thanks Tara & keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️❤️

[@filipedosanjos6839]

I love Tara because she explains things in a very simple way. I'm not a singer and I have the world's worst singing voice according to my mom (she's right btw), and I know nothing about music. But the way Tara explains is clear as water. Thanks, Tara. Love from Brazil. :)

[@garywtyler]

I love knowing about Billie and Finneas that during all her beginnings, up to just recently when he got his own place, their rooms were right next to each other in Mom & Dad's home, they wrote so much together and he produced all her music in his bedroom/studio. Since he got his own house his old room is still their studio.

[@strawberrios]

my love for Billie and Finneas is endless🥺✨💚

[@robertaioana2209]

She's perfect!!

[@bill3483]

Loved your break down of Billie's voice and style, a voice that is serving her quite well. She has another song that falls in the higher category range 'The End of the World'. It's the BBC Radio 1 Session, it would be nice to get your reaction. The guy that accompanies her on the piano will be her brother :)

[@alexabrown3045]

When Tara refers to finneas O’Connell as “the dude in the background” 🤣🤣🤣

[@rrac04]

And a lot of people don't know him, but they know BIllie. It's not that outlandish

[@DiscoveringMusic]

That was a fantastic analysis

[@Love_Lara]

Hans Zimmer 🙌🙇‍♀️ the best film score composer ever (orchestra conductor)

[@sunseyaki9704]

Feel like laughing I mean John Williams and Howard Shore are pretty up there

[@ouroborus6951]

Yes Hans Zimmer Howard Shore James Horner John Williams and Auslosung Morricone are all on the Same Level, but I think that you can’t say who is the best just because they are all awesome. But Hans Zimmer is probably the best conductor of these

[@helinadays]

What about Alan Menken

[@jacopodemuro6548]

React to Beyoncé “XO” and “Halo” at Kobe’s tribute and “Before you go” by Jamie Miller, please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Such a James Bond movie sound. I love her and Finn.

[@McLeod2022]

Finneas gave a great interview on Fallon where he said he is ALWAYS sampling sounds. In Bury a Friend there is a dental drill that is in the background from when Billie was getting her Invisolines. In Bad Guy the high hats are actually a sampling from the sound you hear at crosswalks in Australia. She's amazing without post production but I'd Love to be able to tear apart the background and find the hidden "easter eggs" that they layer into the supporting back. JUST found this out seeing the interview.

[@billizetti]

It has taken me a while to get use to her singing. I’m finally enjoying this song. 🌹

[@JamesFluker]

You're so right about the climax of the song - it's not a huge note, but it's such a release from the moody tension from the rest of the song that the payoff feels incredibly real. I think it's such a good lesson for singers - to understand you don't have to have the biggest range or whatever. Instead, you have to treat your voice like a unique, one-of-a-kind instrument and figure out how best to play it. Because every voice can do something different.

[@clar5874]

Thank you for all your content. This is another great video. If you are looking for video ideas, the song I would most like to hear your reaction to would be either Wicked Games, or Rechenka by Diana Ankudinova. She is a young, russian singer who has a special voice that fits with some of your most recent tutorial videos. Thank you again, for all the amazing content. It is greatly appreciated in the crazy times.

[@RebekahW16]

Taylor Momsen's "25" and Adele's "Skyfall" and Billie Eilish and her brother had Hans Zimmer reach out to them - he was in the video.

[@DSchae2165]

her voice is 'smokey', like sitting in a lounge with the jazzy / bluesy singer and smoke wafting around the room. Even with her more up-beat songs. Julie London comes to mind

[@schnitzel1024]

Best intro so far. Great job Tara!

[@justhere3794]

Billie is very young. Young vocal folds. She also has studied other singers like Aurora and Lana Delray. Clever cookie. I’m a speech language pathologist specializing in voice disorders and also a singer. I try to imitate these young singers. Like Aurora. Lots of fun. My hubby is my best audience. He gets blown away. I’ve been singing to audiences since I was 6. I am 61 and hubby says I sound so young when I sing. It’s all about breath control and using your resonators. Vocal hygiene.

[@dextermouse2492]

The piano is played by her brother Phineas. He also writes and produced all her music Their 50/50% team.
