Billie is a good example of how no matter the money you can still struggle daily with insecurities, perfection and others not relating to you. It is a little sadthat some people can't see she is just a human like everybody else.
Especially an authentic teenager/young woman … people judge other people bc they can’t judge themselves. Finally a real artist with her struggles , happy moments.. and even “mistakes”. Finally. This world need more real strong female artists like her! She is not afraid to say what she thinks.. she is a HUMAN and a pretty rebel brave human in this world!
At the end of the day we are all humans.
Unlike most other famous singers, she's not afraid to be transparent. It actually benefits a famous singer to allow people to get to know the singer personally. People connect better.
"If you wanna get with me, you gotta get with my fans" This is something which interests me alot... Billie are among the top mainstream artists that can blow you away in every interview. She hasn't lost touch with reality, is still more than humble, doesn't take anything for granted and VERY mature despite her age, money and fame. It seems Billie deeply reflects on each encounter with the world, which in turn makes her grow. There are simply many things about Billie that is easy to fall in love with
i suppose everyone has a few fans even if just your fam and friends
@@gregdahlen4375 Touché
Pop music is rarely my thing But Billie’s debut record shattered my expectations of what a modern pop record could be. It’s fantastic. Bravo
Same ❤️
agreed
Her music is hardly pop lol
@@pratham3679 Alternative, Pop, Electronic
It was never meant as "pop" though. But it became extremely popular.
The difference between billie and other celebrities in the interviews is that you can watch and be all ears because you can feel she is talking from the heart and real
She must speak that way. If you lose control of what you say you stop knowing if you express something for real or to release a tick. She is far smarter than she knows she is because of pain nobody can see completely or relate to manifesting. Ticks are often the last symptom of a very certain cluster of disorder.
Her honesty is genuine, you can feel it. Her laugh is fun as well. She covers alot of women issues...girl issues we are tackling in life. Her music is epic! She copies no one! We love finneas as well.
She is a beautiful soul and doesn’t deserve the negativity of the haters in the comments here.
You cannot understand why people don't like her. Try to do some research 👍
Just try
Lamo,Billie eillish bot spotted
No she isn't, and she deserves the hate.
I like that she's warned the public and her followers of the dangers of porn.
I love how honest and relatable she is. Her entire family is really something so so special ❤
I may have been a young woman from the 90s but that is also why people have really embraced her music. I have felt seen by her compassionate urgency from the song talking about her friend living with mental illness and desire for them to also being able to thrive not just to survive.
People in this comment section are so strange. Shes not even complaining
i am 57 and i admire her so much
the intro being all dramatic but then billie pulls a face LMAOO i love her
She's awesome! Her voice is dreamy!
She is just out of this world beyond beautiful. She posseses a beauty that is so rare and unique you are just left in awe.
the fact that i was at the show the night of this interview amazes me and i refuse to belive it
She so chill she never changed who she is with all the money she have she never changed she so humble sly Queen
She is so intelligent and grounded. I’m impressed with her family.
No she is not
She has an amazing family!
@@jizzjazz6963 ur not 😂
@@jizzjazz6963 keep your negativity to yourself 🙄🙄🙄
@@jizzjazz6963 we don’t care about dumb toxic, judgmental miserable haters like you bye buddy ❤️👋🏻
Billie is an amazing role model for young and older ppl tbh. respect how she and her family stay grounded amid all the attention and spread good values like caring for the environment etc. just seem like nice genuine people
Billie is amazing, inside and out❤️❤️ Amazing artist, amazing human with ups and downs like all of us and she is not afraid to be herself and live her life without pretending to be someone else wearing every day masks, but always being herself. She has a strong, brave, charismatic but also stubborn personality, but she is also pretty funny, she has humor, she is so kind and sweet and down to earth. 3 days ago she asked some her fans if they wanted to play frisbee with her in the park in Brazil she and Finneas they played with them and the parents too … the mother at the her show helped distribute water to 60/100k fans who were thirsty and helped those who were sick .. a girl in need was not well and Maggie staying with her to help her until she recovered. Her father (65 years old) working for her as a technician cleaned all the floor of the stage before Billie went up😂 this family is amazing … for everything. I also met them few times and I will never forget the hug I was able to give to Billie Maggie's mother … there is no artist like her and them. Nobody.
frisbee old school
Love Billie here but can we please give a shout-out to this wonderful and warm interviewer.

I love Billie‘s outfit.
Daaaaaamn, I thought the interviewer's face was funny and strange, but I suddenly found myself making that same expression at 7:39 after hearing Billy speak so maturely. Love Billie!
Billie for president ❤
My babyyy I love her

Simplesmente APAIXONADO por ela... Billie Eilish.

Thank you BBC very cool news
cool?

Como amo a esta mujerrr por dios! Es super sagitario
For me, before the properties in Los Feliz, before the Challenger SRT Hellcat & McLaren 600LT, they were and will always be the O'Connell kids from Highland Park, Finneas's band playing at the old billiard hall that became the Hi Hat on York Boulevard with a handfull family & friends standing in the audience supporting their burgeoning musical talents, spurring on their dreams and aspirations to share their music with the world. The speed in which the next secession of events - The odds of which are billion to one - The Lighting in a Bottle Effect as it were : The creation of "Ocean Eyes" in their bedrooms - Up loading "Ocean Eyes" onto Sound Cloud - The reaching out from Justin Lubliner to sign with Darkroom / Interscope - Is the stuff that only legends are made of ...
I watched “my future” on acid & let me tell you, i had such an amazing spiritual awakening while watching this. Before i put it on i was watching kids baking competition & i was laughing bc i was like “these cakes look like shit omg” & then i thought “but hey look where they are at 7 & look where I’m at. Who am i to laugh at them. . I’m no one.” So i changed it, put the my future music vid on & i was feeling a bit sad when it first started, then when the beat dropped & she says “i know supposedly I’m lonely now, know I’m supposed to be unhappy without someone.. but aren’t i someone?” I’m SOBBED & said “i AM SOMEONE!!” Lmfao xD long story short, Billie has a very special place in my heart especially bc of how much she’s in love w her fans it makes me feel really special that she loves me just as much as i do her bc sometimes i b thinking it’s weird to love a stranger/famous person like this.
❤❤❤
Love from India 🇮🇳

How can you ever know who you are when you have conformed to how you think others should see you? It seems though that you have made some break throughs and seem in a better place.
❤❤
I like the fact that even if she is a big feminist, she doesnt talk about building women up at the cost of tearing men down but she just wants to build women up period and not at the demise of anyone in particular. The i hate men stigma on the internet right now is super annoying to deal with and makes men who arent apart of the issue feel so defeated and its not talked about or understood enough so im glad she talks about women like this.
she's beaty and she is prefiosa
Love everything about her. Im glad she’s showing women that you don’t have to be a certain way to be considered a female… ITS OKAY TO BE A TOM BOY ladies !!! OWN IT!!
so many boomers in this comment section 😂
So many vapid, clueless hoes in the comment section.
i hope billie watched this
i just kinda wish the questions or topics werent so lame. Brilliant person with so much that she could express but the interviewer is so basic that kills the opportunity. Still good interview but could have been much more if they actually put a professional to talk to the artist. With love. Just an observation.
I Look At This Situation
7:40 The confusion
Have you heard about the singer/artist/trailblazer P!nk???? She did and continues to do what you say it has not be done!!!!
No disrespect to Billie Eilish's talent as a singer but this is not newsworthy. It should be on the main BBC KZhead channel or the BBC Three KZhead channel.
She reminds me of my little brother Theodor! I'm serious - they look alike.
To all the old people in the comments (not trying to be rude) when she was 15 she was locking her self in the bathroom and cutting herself because she thought she deserved it. she was severely depressed like if you don’t have anything good to say don’t say anything
And also she loves her lifestyle
When I was 13 my house went on fire. Had to stay in a hostel was so embarrassing Went to school in jeans and a jumper cause my uniform was destroyed Only pair of jeans I had had to do without Christmas clothes which was a big deal
Didn't cut deep enough
People are entitled to say whatever they want shut up
@@Marinaddee “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it”
I think Billie is relating to what Carl Jung referred to as the Animus and Anima. I wish i could tell her to read some of Jung's philosophy. I think she would have revelations while reading.
Or she could read Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness. Reading Jung' s prose makes most people dizzy.
As a up and coming artist i realize this is slowly starting to happen to me.
you’re irrelevant
@@randomguy8999 - Thank you and the Painting i sold this week says that too
@@randomguy8999 agreed and anybody that paints the face and smears it on canvas and asks for buck a minute Must be a Nutball
Funny, how fast someone becomes an "era defining star"...
Meanwhile doja cat says she hates her fans, doesn’t owe them anything, & how her last 2 albums were cash grabs that her fans fell for & now she’s on an island while her fans “weep for mediocre pop” - i love u Billie
GO BILLIE!
I was here
Who is the interviewer?
Who agrees with me that Billie is the best person to look up to when you are upset, not feeling the best, or overwhelmed? She's always so positive and comical, which always puts a smile on my face even if I'm not feeling the best :))
just no..
No
Me to. No she has clearly the victim mind. She's not positive 👍
my god you need a doctor
Just no
She's so young. She says things that are naive, in the sense that they lack wisdom--like that to be in love is to be concerned with how a person is affecting you more than how you are affecting them, which a lot of people would argue is the exact opposite of what it means to be in love. She uses the term "imposter syndrome" incorrectly. She has kind of a weird, simultaneously overthought and oversimplified view on gender expression that I notice in a lot of young people today (who honestly are just often lacking a critical/thoughtful analysis on gender and maybe overly fixated on it). The internet generation is weird. Anyway, my intention is not to be critical of her, but just to observe that she is young and as she said, growing up and learning who she is and what she believes in the spotlight, which I honestly would not wish on anyone.
I think no one of you should even talk or judge when you clearly don’t know anything about her …. 1- are you her therapist? Who are you to say she doesn't have imposter syndrome? if you didn't know she also does therapy and she HAS IMPOSTOR SYNDROME! and most artists have it! Do you even know what impostor syndrome is? Have you ever watch her Grammys speeches in 2019 and 2020 ??? and Brits 2020? She won 7 grammys oscar, golden globe, + 250 awards in just 4 years .. 16 guinness world records, she sold 40M units, she is the 2nd best selling female artist in the world after taylor swift for 4 years and she thinks she deserves nothing … YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS ?!? I don't think so .. it's living every day demonstrating that you have self-esteem and pretending that you deserve what you have, always pretending with yourself .. you always wear a mask because if you don't you will collapse and you would drown .. especially for her she is so young but it’s hard fo her to understand that she deserves what she has especially when the whole world has been telling you since 2020 that you deserve nothing ..you are overrated and bullshits. You clearly don’t know anything about her but if you are not a fan of hers and you haven't followed her for 5/6 years like us… what can you even know about her growth and maturation and “imposter syndrome” .. WE know who Billie Eilish is not you who may have seen some fake bullshits videos on internet or just here judging this person. you are not her… she KNOWS who she is .. she knows what she feels and everything she said here is true .. she is more mature than you think im a millennial and I think that maybe you are so naive and superficial that you don't fully understand what she is saying here …. and the reflections she is making ... reflections that go beyond what society has always forced us to think ... she lives as a rebel and free soul from the chains of society .. we were not born to be in boxes either in life or in music with all these genres which she uses all of them and critics called her the “anti pop” “anti genres” “innovator pop artist” because she is anti genres of music.. she plays with all… and she is not going to follow what others want her to do but what she wants… have you ever worked in that world? Personally yes … these people become slaves to an industry that dictates them WOMEN and young girls to be a person, have that style, lose weight Etc .. she was lucky enough because she signed with Interscope and she is the only boss of her vision, music, music videos, shows etc everything… no one can have control over her .. bc fortunately she is stubborn and she has a strong charismatic personality! Like Madonna had in the past! And she and her family don’t give a fck about money!
Ps: sometimes is better … stfu trust me 🥰
@@ale68076 lol I read only the first few sentences of this and I have no idea why I am responding to this insane trolling but I said the definition she gave of imposter syndrome is incorrect, not that she doesn't have it
"She uses the term "imposter syndrome" incorrectly."????????? NO she DOESN'T !
Her face looks much older than her age
Who's this girl?
please ask about BE's veganism and climate activism
_Me who just held a dying Somali child this morning with a weeping mother beside me:_ 🧍🏿 bruh
Hiiiiii
Cuz I only love one or two or three or fouur
The comment section is very Toxic, I need to ready my hazmat suit~
Ikr
it feels like she's been around so long i can't believe she's only 20 lol...can't even legally drink and wasn't born on 9/11 .... if somebody asked me i'd've guessed that she's the same age as justin bieber
My two cats 🐈⬛ 🐈 are so interested in this story!💤💤💤
Calm down kid
SHUT UP
Many *Aquarius moons* seem to share this experience (princess Diana, Marilyn Monroe, Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes, and Billie). They all have their *moon in Aquarius* ☆
what
absolutely no one cares about their star sign, stop assigning higher orders or destinies based on what month their mom pushed them out her hoo
@@Majid_Osman moon sign isn't their "star sign"
@@fortune_roses the zodiac is demonic & corny
@@fortune_roses its literally not the point. their birth month dont dictate how they act. u sound crazy
Makes millions writing about depression for young girls who have never experienced real depression themselves
You can experience depression at any age. Read a book.
There's more pressing matters you can cover BBC then Billie eyelashes mental health
Hahha
EXACTLY
they lack the talent to come up with anything besides anti-china/anti-iran/anti-russia rhetoric
I wonder why you clicked then. Smartass. There will always be a demand for interviews of famous stars.
Is it weird to wish that B E was my daughter? ❤
Not at all
Billie Eilish - Lonely ❤
Your mean lovely?
