Billie Eilish Gets STANDING OVATION for What Was I Made For? Performance at 2024 Oscars 

@mikedavis8008do you not know how hard it is to control you’re voice at such a low level? It requires A LOT of voice control and breath not everyone can sing like that and make it sound good

​@@StaRRedKosvoxPeople who don't sing don't have a clue. They think Adele-like belts define singing. They don't get that the Barbie song was designed to be a fragile, breathy falsetto for emotional impact reasons. It was very deliberate. It kills me when these fools use the word whisper. It is not technically possible to whisper and hold a melody.

​@mikedavis8008 maybe you should try singing the way she does and see how hard it is.

Stick to your desk supplies.

I've actually liked Billie Eilish since day one. And not say it's a bad song. Just saying that there are far more talented and creative song writers and performers more deserving. "Emily Haines.... where's her Grammy?

Totally. Two genius born to the same family is just wow.

Billie’s true fans recognize Finneas and how much he brings to the table as far as Billie’s success is concerned. Tbh, Billie wouldn’t be where she is today if it weren’t for her brother. They’re very much a package deal and it blows my mind with how artistically gifted they are individually let alone as a duo. That being said, Finneas has his own music career; albeit not nearly as lucrative as his sister’s, but he does do his own thing creatively outside of what he and Billie work on. He has made a name for himself and is one of the most sought after producer/songwriters in the industry. His résumé is extensive and beyond impressive - I don’t know how he has time to sleep. Idk how familiar you are with the two of them (or the family as a whole), but in 2020 AppleTV released a documentary on Billie & her rise to fame. It highlights not only their sibling relationship but also their “work” relationship all within mixing in their family dynamics. They did an excellent job with it. I’m sure there’s a ton on YT that you’d be able to find as well. I normally don’t get so “into” artists anymore as I’m a mother with teenagers (hence how I came across Billie), but I have never heard music like hers. I have an extensive background in music and continue to be impressed with all of the work she releases. They’re something special, and deserve every award they’re not only nominated for, but receive.

I hope people will recognise Billie as a producer and songwriter too.

@@aquagrlshe is definitely a songwriter, but has been very vocal in regards to her struggle with doing so. *However* , when it comes to producing music, from what they’ve shared with us, Finneas is very much the brains behind the operation. That’s not to say I’m completely discounting Billie because it’s obvious she brings loads of ideas to the table. The difference is that Finneas knows how to take those ideas and not only bring them to life, but embellish upon them. He’s walked through some of his process with song production and he will include, “Billie had this idea” and shows or plays what it was and it’s typically followed up with “then I added this”. When played together, it’s 🤩 Each of them are extremely involved in the process, but I have the feeling Finneas is much more comfortable staying in the supportive role. I can totally see him playing around with these songs for hours after Billie has gone home, perfecting them just so, (much like a chef would play around with a new recipe and figuring out that one spice needed to bring a dish together). If I’m not mistaken, Finneas has won every production award he’s been nominated for.

I get the sentiment but Finneas has said a few times that he is just about as famous as he wants to be. He likes creating with Billie but likes still being able to be out in public without being swarmed with fans like she is. He’s said that level of fame is tough and he’s glad he doesn’t have to “wear” it the way his sister does

True

Did not understand any of the lyrics---breathy affectation

​@@kennethschwartz9351learn English. It is enunciated pretty well.

@@kennethschwartz9351interesting. Sounded clear to me. Billie has so many techniques that she’s perfected. She’s a versatile singer with a huge range.

❤

💯

I’m 50 and took my teen daughter to see her in London a couple of years back fully prepared to enjoy it but not be overwhelmed. She was bloody fantastic! Mesmerising. A really lovely young women and absolutely brilliant live.

I'm even older and went to a concert recently. I was blown away by this captivating and brilliant performance in 100 minutes. The music sounds even better live and I'm looking forward to the next concerts nearby... Frankfurt, Cologne, Paris ...🤩🎉🚀💥

I'm 45 and a big fan... Effortlessly transmited it to my 12 yr old daughter.

Don’t forget America and Kate being the hype girl she is.

Just like every CO songwriter / producer in history .. but you don’t say this to Adele, Lady Gaga and others .. hypocrites.. she is a solo artist and he is just doing his job just like every other CO partner with other artists he is not special or different from them but obv you don’t even know their names🙄 toxic ppl you all are, he deserves even less since he is already getting more recognition than other CO partners/musicians with other artists.

It was popular on American idol recently

😂😂😂🤡 he is doing HIS job 😂😂😂 he is making millions to just play a piano LOL every musician have to do that . Nothing special !

@@783wuw He's not "just playing the piano". 😁 He is the co-writer and producer of all their songs. And best thing is they're doing it all on their own.🙂👍🏼 No (secret) additional co-writers like for Taylor Swift, Beyonce or Katy Perry..☝🏼😬😵‍💫😥

@@elledriver3509 thanks and agree what an amazing duo how they write and produce together hence my original compliment comment taken out of context above by keyboard clown complete with fitting icon.

I will forever say this, Barbie is not Barbie without this song

What songs, though? I'm interested.

He’s not sad. He talks about it all the time in interviews, he says there’s nothing in life he would love more than to be known as Billie’s brother. He would have included his name in their duo years ago, but he doesn’t. He just doesn’t need the attention.

Awards don't mean a thing.

Is that because the only award you ever got was a certificate when you graduated kindergarten? Grammys and Oscar’s are the industry standard or goal.

@@jeremymarr8591 Shut up. I got much more than that. The most important is the social impact of the film and his memory on the collective memory not bits of metal.

​@@MadininaCarribeanAwards like these are given by peers. They are the premium sign of respect and admiration from those who do what you do. They mean a great deal.

Meryl Streep won 3 oscars and yet she's very humble. She doesn't act like she's god or something...rightfully cause she's not. Success shouldn't make of you an arrogant prick. It doesn't make you more important than anyone.

She did Ariana grande presented it to her

They did! Well deserved..👏🏼🙂🤩🎉🚀💥🏆

​@@elledriver3509 Ryan Gosling was better

​@@doneljeko7859he just sang.. he didn't write I'm just ken song.. the award goes to the song writers... Billie & Finneas wrote such a poignant & meaningful song for the movie... I'm just ken is more like a fun & energetic song... It's not that deep... And it's written by other people not Ryan Gosling.. so if that song were to win... Ryan wouldn't be getting the award anyways.

@@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos Also, although 'Ken" is a great singing and dancing performance and serves the movie well, as a song, i.e.as a melody with meaningful lyrics it is not in the same league as the Billie song. WWIMF was perfect in the movie but has resonance way beyond the movie. Ken does not. Nobody is going to play "Ken" on the radio without video. Billie's song stands at 800 million streams. Ken is nowhere close. People are listening to Billie's song, crying when she sings it in concert. WWIMF is the first song in twenty-five years to win the Best Song Grammy and the Oscar. "Ken" will fade as the Barbie movie loses its status as a cultural icon. I think WWIMF will live on as one of the most memorable songs of the first decades of the twenty-first century.
