I actually guessed the right order this time! 🥳

[@davidodonohoe1773]

Inspirational thing about this should be how wonderful her childhood must have been. Whether it goes anywhere or not the value of growing up and connecting with your kids/parents through music is such an awesome thing. And yes she’s amazing but you don’t have to be to make that connection.

[@rayssamel]

Wow, her laugh is so contagious

[@peterjonas4971]

I really admire Stephen's patience and generosity. Billie's music is amazing; she's talented well beyond her years.

[@magster6022]

She's no older than the Beatles were when they hit the big-time.

[@stardust-rebel]

It is rare that I taste of a new musician when their sensation is raging through the airwaves. I have heard of her music and of her but after watching Miss Eilish interview, I understand why she is so popular. She is a genuinely creative person and when her words fail her, as they were here, she leaves it all on the album. That is as it should be. March on, kiddo.

[@FeuerUngeheuer-z666z]

I'm not into modern pop music, but that young lady is something very special and seems to be a very fine human being on top. Take good care of her, Murica. 💜🤘

She sounds so much like Linda Ronstadt in her description of her family. I would love to know if she ever listened to Linda, who is IMO the most talented vocalist that ever recorded. Billie is a wonderful young woman. 🌺✌️

So talented, and I love seeing how she will express herself in fashion. Always an individualist. Love it!

[@TrustynHERO]

Loved this interview and So great to see her being so nervous, excited and real about being able to share the things she’s passionate about, but seriously tho, did you guys really have to milk this so much by chopping it up into their own clips? This one had only 2.5 mins to it for crying out loud🙄 lol

🌹Billie Eilish 🌹

[@bjdefilippo447]

She's so right about expectations. I grew up in a family that always had half a dozen musical instruments around, and lessons were provided if we expressed an interest in one, even though there wasn't much money. Even when my mum was in hospice with cancer, family was there playing or singing music she loved. It wasn't until high school that I realized that his wonderful situation wasn't as common as I had assumed. It saddens me that so many music programs have been cut in schools, because it's a language that can bring us together to express ourselves and find understanding and connection (not to mention improving math skills).

[@angielott83]

She’s so damn cute I can’t even 😂❤

Again with the segment length. _Late Show,_ this segment is two minutes and 35 seconds. You have another segment from the same interview that's five minutes and _50_ segments. Is there a reason these had to be separated?

Love Billie, a very talented young woman. The flavor of the month. I wish her well as her career moves on. She has accomplished much. She is not yet a legend, and there is no shade on that. Just a fact. Time will tell. Maybe a little tough love, but love nonetheless.
