    Don't see what all the fuss is about.

    Apparently her full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell and she's never heard of Van Halen, Run DMC, or Huey Lewis.

    I love Billie Eilish’s music. I listen to her stuff a lot and never get bored.... I do sometimes wonder if she is overly influenced by her brother.

    I hope she is the genius I think she is..

    Some good tunes. The production is fantastic.

    As for not knowing those Val Halen/ Huey Lewis.. she’s 17/18.. I wouldn’t hold it it against her.. rock from 20 years and more before she was alive mightn’t be her thing.

    She kind of intimidates me... and then irritates me.

    Not enough drugs, sex and rock n roll for my liking.

    Not intimidating , not irritating … please just

    Entertaining. Thank you.

    I honestly rate that as one of the best songs I have ever heard. Love it. Not into modern music at all, but she stands out as something of a genius.

    *Cue the entrance of music snobs.

    I only know who Huey Lewis and the News are because of the scene in American Psycho where he talks about them.

    Not a music snob but that song irritates the life out of me.

    Have only heard this one song and I absolutely hate it. Doesn’t sound like a Bond type artist. I don’t get her. Would like to see a hip modern band get the Bond gig, like A-Ha sone years ago. Maybe 1975 or some other good indie band.

    So we can call her Eilish O'Connell.

    I'd say it's very collaborative, hope it lasts.

    I love her. Production, lyrics, delivery. She really gives it socks live as well.

    bellyache and everything i wanted would be my two favourites of hers.

    She can come across a bit irritating and self regarding and naive in interviews. God it's like she's a teenager or something :pac:

    I don't get it at all. I listened to a couple of her songs to see what the fuss was about but they lack any decent melody I don't really know why they're successful as pop songs. Even though I'm old I still like most kinds of music but this one just doesn't make sense to me.

    Her brother does most of the back work, he does the gritty melodies. So there's a pair of them in it. It's good music.

    While not the type of music I listen to, I respect her as an artist. She is hugely popular with young people that wouldn't be into more pop-like acts.
    She seems like a girl with her head screwed on and as it stands handles her skyrocketing fame pretty well.

    Thought this was very good. The two of them are very talented. Fair play to them. WARNING: Contains James Corden.
