Billie Eilish was just 14 when she emerged on the scene with her debut single “ocean eyes” in 2016. The soulful song quickly transformed into a viral sensation that currently stands with over 44 million Spotify streams.
The singer-songwriter’s career has continued to flourish with sonically mature songs like “bellyache” and the 13 Reasons Why track “Bored,” and last year she released her critically acclaimed debut EP don’t smile at me.

He's a good interviewer, he lets her talk and understands her
Fuhq Boi I doubt it

YES❗❗👂🏾🙏🏽
He’s a suck up. Brown nose
You are a mistake no dumbass
I feel like Billie is someone you can easily get addicted too 😂
Shes my strange addiction
Cause she's so charismatic
Shes myyy strange addiction
I was gonna say like a drug and then that lyric "take you like a drug" came into my head from I think daddy issues by the neighbourhood jeee but yeah ikr
Already. Have
Billie taught me to not care of what other people think

This make the whole thing inauthentic
I can listen to her speak for hours honestly
olivia rose actually same??
olivia rose same
Right!!😍💕
SAME HERE SSAMMEE HERE OLIVIA
Sameeeee
It’s interesting how in all these videos she talks about how you don’t have to go through something to write about it and everyone’s so mind blown by the concept. Of course you can write about anything. Songwriting is still writing. Writers write stories. She’s telling a story and playing a character in the songs. Music doesn’t have to be a diary
Billie:you can write fiction And don't have to go through it Everyone: *surprised pikachu face*
That last sentence really stuck with me 🤯 ur so right
But the thing is she didn’t actually write it

She has such a deep voice when talking, but angelic when singing. 😘
Ikr
That's called mezzo soprano voice type exactly what you said deep but like this wierd pitch too it
I’ve binged so much Billie Eilish recently
Same tho 😂💚🖤❤️
sameee
Good thing to do in quarantine
Same same
I can watch just videos of Billie for days and not be bored
she’s so honest woah
That's why we fucking love her
Apart from being a guy
That's because she's a capricorn lmao
that's what makes someone a decent person and attractive, fun to be around etc
@@Manvir. its sagitaurus
her eyes are gorgeous... she's overall gorgeous dont get me wrong but those eyes are legit hypnotic!
for sure
Ocean eyes
She has *intesly* beautiful eyes Is that a word... "intensly" 😂
Tanya Trollip i like intesly better
How sweet is the interviewer, though?! He‘s a true fan, too, and I am so here for it!!!
Living Well With TJ wtf is that meant to mean 💀
I'm 27, and I really look up to this 16-year-old.
She 17 almost 18
Sad
@@jm3354 not sad
Do u look up to Satan as well?
eek
She's so wise beyond her years but at the same time she talks like such a kid which is awesome.
She is real as fuck
@@peechisverhalen7964 lol "wise"
Why is everyone in these comments so half assed? She’s 16. Who the hell cares if she’s “edgy.” You know damn well you went through that stage too, so let her go through hers. Though I feel she’s a bit more unique with it. Actually listen to what she has to say instead of judging her by her looks or body language.
Yikes it would be awesome if she was more edgy with her music. I was shocked when i heard her cause she looks like a wavy soundcloud rapper, a beautiful one.
Yikes agreed smh
Yikes how is she edgy though?
Starburstfreak I didn’t say she was edgy. I’m just quoting those who kept saying she was.
I agree. People can't understand that this girl is cool. Cool. Not a wannabe edgy, just naturally stylish and extremely likeable imo.
I remember writing songs when I was younger and I would show them to my friends and they would always say “but you’ve never delt with this” or “but that’s not who you are” or “you’ve never done this or felt this” and I always thought “well, what is wrong with that? It doesn’t matter does it? I thought if you want to write a song, do it.” And then Billie comes around a couple years later and tells us that it’s okay and I just wanna start crying because I was always made fun of by my peers for wanting to sing about losing my boyfriend in WWI or wanting to kill my self or falling in love or being in an abusive relationship and then realizing that pre-teen me should’ve listened to herself not everyone else.
Audrey & Co. you do you baby girl ❤️
Im now regretting the same thing
i i_ I a m w e r I d_ sjsksks She’s probably going to be a tweaker, I hope not, but she seems like she’ll definitely be into drugs
im sorry you had to go through that ❤️ keep doing what you do and be yourself, and never listen to what people have to say
Dont let anyone control you. Dont let anyone affects your dreams. If you want to make song, do it. Do everything what makes you happy. You only lived once. just be yourself.
Its crazy how this young girl is making me feel more comfortable about being myself.
im so in love with her dude omg
alex same
alex same here
*Yeah same*

we dont need a whole studio we only need a finneas

True tho

Billie: Once I lost my earbuds and had a heart attack for like a week... Me too Billie me too
Sameeeeeeeee like i lost my 9 dollar wireless earbuds i cant live without them
I lost my AirPods but my dad had gotten me a new pair
breyer lover159 I’ve never felt something so much like this
breyer lover159 500th like lol
breyer lover159 I left my sweet headphones at my friends still need them ...... or can I get one from billie
To achieve this level of honesty, self confidence and creativity is truly inspiring. many adults need to shut up and listen to what she has to say.
???
Sheeple
Omg she is a complet and absolute liar and everybody is blind. Look how she can not go deep un any issue. Is superficial at all. She only complains about everything in a confuse way, no clear answers and for sure no examples or detatails cause is all a fuxkxng lie
Haro Odasac U LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR, DUDE, SEEIN YERSELF. ♥️🤸🏾♂️♥️
Grow tf up
If I didn’t know her music I would probaly think she is a hardcore rapper bcs of the way she dresses like a male rapper lmao ...she’s so chill I love it
joanna babe ocean eyes

Who brings backpacks in interviews? Only Billie.

She probably has burritos and refried beans in there.
Well i do but not interviews
I bring a mini backpack everywhere and people look at me 👀👀👀👀
Most rappers
I'm so jealous of all of these young teens, living their dreams. I can't even get up and fill out some job applications.
we all have the same amount of hours in a day. how you use yours cannot compare to another persons. we all have the world at our fingertips and not everyone’s journey happens at the same pace
lmfao mE
Omg same af
Yeah love that's cause the job your applying for sucks. If we all chased our dreams who would do all the other jobs in the world?
@@glitterarmy89 the machines
Billie Eilish is the coolest 16 year old on the planet.
She's the coolest anything on the planet
duh
Let's just put it this way, Billie Eilish is the coolest.
XD YEAHHHHHHH
She is the coolest person
She is humble enough to know she's not better than anyone and wise enough to know she's different from the rest.
She's amazing as always but hey what a really cool interviewer. He was so real.
billie mentioning twenty one pilots gave me a heart attack. i’m shook
Same dude!
fucking exactly
yess and mcr, I was like hOLD UP
same
I SCREAMED
I hope she doesnt ruin in her life with drugs and alcohol like the mayority of teenage stars. I am thrilled to watch her grow as a person and a singer. Much love from a depressed soul✌!!
frederico sanchez sena kiko she doesn’t do drugs ( as far as I know )
She has literally said she doesn't want to ruin herself with drugs.
@@ella4043 she doesn't
@@elianayvonne7386 some people say that too you never know
Welp I came back to this interview and you could say she doesn't especially because of xanny😂
I ran out of Billie interview videos to watch...so im here and happy 😂
lol XD sameeee
I ran out too, I’m having to re watch them again 😩😩🤣🤣🤣
I’m rewatching all
Why does this make me emotional now that she's 18?😭💕
Why are you crying 😢 bc u don’t want to be human like u
Now she's 19🥺❤
@@AJ...- she is 20 now, she is no longer a teen ☹️

She is a talented artist 💪
I love Billie Eilish!! She's so real
Alain Bruno you are everywhere
I see you everywhere wtf?
He brother does all the work !!! She's not a true musician...
But she writes the lyrics. If you going off that, hardly anyone is a 'real' musician
This is the best Billie Eilish's interview I've ever watched. It was just amazing
Billie is the only person that made me watch this long interview
30 seconds in and I already love her 100% more than I already did
She’s so underrated ugh I love her sm
That's cause you have terrible taste in music !!
Ken Bray her music is great bye
Ken Bray Can you acc stfu k... Billie is a real musician unlike some ppl, she’s only 16 and already has amazing music and supporters.
Ken Bray Gtfo you’re irrelevant
The karaoke song from 22:45 is picture to burn from Taylor Swift
She’s an old soul
Dave G 110% 💕
Maybe a boy
More like a occult programed trans.. I'd boink still

I’m so excited for her to go through all her phases and hear the music she’s gonna make. I’m excited to grow with her
she has grown
@@ic3peak276 did NOT need to hear this today 😭😭😭
very much has grown😭.
you still around? cause i am after all these years :’)
@@delena4evertvd267 yes! i still watch every interview she does, but sadly our music preferences have gone in different directions. i still appreciate the music she’s put out and her voice has only gotten better. i will *always* admire her personality
8:49 my favorite part of this whole interview.
When she mentioned twenty one pilots and mcr and green day I died
same here
Bro i literally did same😂
I'm still shook that Billie and Billie MET EACH OTHER
I just discovered her today because of this interview and now I can't stop thinking about her. I'm literally obsessed with her now. Love her music & love her. She reminds me a little of Aaliyah. Idk why.
I love her laugh @ 10:58 ... So adorable lol
The disrespect..
U ain't wrong, I think she reminds me of Aaliyah too💖
Stop...🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
*"If you want to make art, fucking make art."*
I like how she reminds people that age does not define how wise, or talented or intelligent you can be. Don't let anyone put you down because they think you're too young. Just do the fuck you want.
Green Day, Avril Lavigne, The Beatles, Linkin Park, Twenty one pilots.... I love you.
What time she metioning avril?

"that person's been here before" yahhh girlllll
Anyone else kinda miss old billie like before when we all fall asleep where do we go

Nobody: Billie's chains: *JINGLE* *JINGLE* *JINGLE*

In a one HORSE open sleigh
It do be doin asmr doe
3:57 i lost my earbuds like a few days ago and i can not relate enough to this
Can't figure out who she reminds me of with the way she talks and shit but damn she's beautiful

fav interview of all time hands down. host had some good questions and i like how you spoke on some things in your interpretation i like Rob’s mind just as much as i love Billie’s ugh
5:54 *needless to say I’m shook*
Lillie Shippy im a ban- im a BANDITØØØØ
Me too
I loved 21 pilot's from 2017 broooo I never realized she said it 😳
Literally Billie Ellish album is the best of 2017 and still hear it as often as the first time and with the new song she release I hope she releases an album this year
i think my favorite this about this is that she’s not afraid to compliment other artist!! yes girl👏👏👏👏
Everyone remembers the first time they heard The Beatles. Your authenticity is what makes your art beautiful. Thank you for your contribution Billie. The poetry transcends generation gaps.
I could listen to Billie talk all day. She's so herself, down-to-earth, and so confident. She's so comfortable in her skin that it makes you feel comfortable.
i think what she’s trying to say is that certain songs or artists are cool to listen to until they’re no longer cool to enjoy. they get a stigma attached but if you just cut all of that bullshit out, you can find something to love in just about anything. even if you don’t like the sound of a song, the lyrics can speak straight to you.
"You don't have to go through anything to write about or you can go through everything and write about something else."
I love this interview, so chill and natural
15:53 oh my gosh she so adorable who thinks she *adorable* just me? *THAT LAUGH*
WHO SCREAMED WHEN SHE SAID TWENTY ONE PILOTS OMFG
danklez ME
my weAVE FLEW TO MEXICO
no bc y'all have been spoiling people in the comments
MEEE
__mxrph im a BANDITØØØØØØØØØ
She is my spirit animal
Been watching Billie interviews all week and this one is the best by far! Great job!
She was trying to hide so many things but now she's so open and authentic, you can see a really big difference
" I think the world is so caught up with just liking things because everyone else likes them. " Y E S.
I love that wise lil soul
This dude is so chill
THIS! These are the interviews I crave to listen to. So refreshing.
I just noticed she says "like" a lot and I can't ignore it anymore rip
Angel On Fire well you just ruined the entire vid for me lol
Shes 16 soooo
Angel On Fire i feel like its an american thing lmao
She's a teenager and a Cali girl...
I cant
she’s such a amazing human
That is the best interview of Billie I've ever watched! That guy is such a great interviewer
This girl inspires me so much because seeing someone my age that has gone so far being herself and being able to make art and reach people is really amazing. I hope people finally realize that teenagers aren't useless as everybody says, and start to recognize us as people of value and with a lot of talent to show. Billie, you're fucking great.
Beautiful lady no plastic surgery
i mean the first 20 seconds of this video, is why i look up to billie.
Crazy that she said Peggy Lee and just the other day she did a tribute to her at the Hollywood bowl
its been 5 years and this is still her best interview ever
This is amazing. Billie has matured so much.
She is for real so wise wtf she just spitting fax
I had to watch like every single interview with Billie for work and this one is BY FAR THE BEST INTERVIEW SHE'S EVER DONE. thanks to the host and Billie
who's binge watching billie's old interviews at 2021?
i discovered twenty one pilots like 4 years ago. today i discovered her and when i heard a little piece of her singing idontwannabeyouanymore at colors, i just got goosebumps for 30 sec straight. i haven't had that sort of feeling towards new music or artist since i've heard twenty one pilots for the first time. and now i'm watching this and SHOOK. what a fucking coincidence i was struggling to find that kind of real music for so long they're both true artists and you can feel that
Billie speaks FACTS bro it’s so unreal ❤️
How chilled she is - No one talk to me rn :(
idk why, but Billie makes me feel so inspired. Like she makes me wanna do something with life. Not like I haven't thought about doing things with my life, but she makes me wanna do more.. I strive to find an actual friend who makes me inspired, man Billie is that friend
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRECIOUS ANGEL
12:04 Exactly. I thought it was brilliant how she was able to get into the mind of someone that she wasn't.
*Genius becoming Billie's no. 1 fan acount*
She’s literally flawless
she's 01?! wow good for her, she is winning
No she's 16
@ambob I knew it! my friend was fighting me on it and I just went with what she said because she scares me and we didnt care to look it up 😂
@ambob thanks :)
IVVE BERN LOOKKNG FOR THIS INTERVIEW FIR SO LONG IM SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!
Wow everything she says about growing-i feel you girl. God bless
“I would rather die than be artificial” Word!
