little correction: Billie didn't change the lyrics for this performance, the last part of the song is exactly like the studio version :)

I hate how they turned down Finn’s vocals because in the actual performance he was singing the harmony pretty loudly and it was a beautiful blend but the broadcast turned it down and you can’t hear it as much.

She didn't change the lyrics. Which is great.... the song ends hopeful!

Billie has developed into such a mature artist in a short period of time. Their writing (Finneas included) is so good without relying on a roomful of industry "Professionals" trying to guide them into the perfect pop song. They have a long career ahead of them, together or separately.

you should watch a video of this performance videoed by someone in the audience. finneas’ backing vocals are way more heard and are SO PRETTY with bil’s voice ❤

Hannah try to find a clip where you can hear Finneas because his harmony wasn't really picked up on tv. But there are clips from the audience and you can hear it very clearly

The first time I heard it, the lyric that made me go “whoa!” was “…just something you paid for.” In the context of the layers of meaning, it’s powerful.

I’ve seen this song live.everyone was crying.i can’t explain the feeling and energy of that crowd it was amazing and so so sad

Iam a 70 yr old guy and the first time i heard this song just pierce my inner being.I had to watch again because i did not realize the clothes she was putting out made even more Incredible She can sing,Finneas is incredible.ITS a big winner

I love that everything Billie and Finneas do comes straight out from their souls. The emotion, honesty, humility, and vulnerability that they exude is impossible to ignore. Some of the greatest artists of our lifetime, and possibly ever 🥹

Fascinating that you thought the song ended differently initially. She did change the lyrics because she added an “and” but that’s all. The song ends on a hopeful note and that’s the whole point. They do that rarely, there’s “everybody dies”, and “everything I wanted” also. Off the top of my head.

I always cry with this song, no matter where I am or what I'm feeling...

"I don't know how to feel, but someday I might" That hits me, as someone who struggles to feel anything until the bottled up feelings overwhelm me. I'm working on it, but this line just hits hard.

Well deserved award winners.

okay but hannah looks s o beautiful in this video

Billie has so much talent. This is a beautiful song and always makes me cry. And Billie sings it so beautifully. I love her voice

Oh no! That's so sad that you've thought the song ended on that low of a note this whole time!😭 The lyrics in the original studio version are: Think I forgot how to be happy Something I'm not, but something I can be Something I wait for Something I'm made for Something I'm made for

It makes me sad that the videos posted by the Grammys doesn’t show finneas and billie harmony’s they are so beautiful 😊❤❤

This song changed me. Truly. I would get in the shower and this song would be on repeat. I would be driving to work and this song was on repeat. It helped me during a difficult time

I loved the Vanity Fair video. It really made me appreciate the song and artistry they put into it. It appears to be a simple, straightforward song on first listen/impression, but hearing all of the layers and details Billie and Finneas added an emotional depth few other songs have achieved. No crazy vocals needed. And the intentionality of each word and each note is what makes this song special. It 100% deserved song of the year for its lyrics and composition. I hope it wins the Oscar.

Love the analysis and the close attention to this performance. You should do more of these kinds of in-depth reviews. BTW, she did not change any lyrics that we know of in the release or performances since the release. They said they changed the lyrical ending before release because Billie did not like it.

I love this song so much. As a singer Billie is one of my favorites. I’m 61. When I have my grans over and we have our listening and talk about it party’s. Billie is most always played! Thank you for reacting to the Grammy Version. Can you please react to, IU’s “Love wins all” MV? Then, IU Love wins all Recording behind | Jieun’s last(?) recording… She wasn’t well when recording, but it’s still nice to see her recording it. Smiles from the San Francisco area. Have a happy and healthy 2024.

More reactions from Billie please ❤❤

Billie and Renee Rapp are two current artists I feel are absolutely haunting in their live performances; both Billie here and Renee when she performed Snow Angel on SNL. Devastating.

I know next to nothing about songwriting or music producing but that vanity fair interview was so enjoyable, like watching artists talk about their artistry and why they made the choices they made billie and fines really are masters in their craft

thank you - I like your first reaction and I like this one, too! I've truly have watched virtually everything Billie - I'm not obsessed - I'm a 70 yr. old believer and I'm so happy when vocal coaches like you and Tristan (Paredes) and others - unreservedly - affirm Billie's gifts, and Fineas's, too. Billie would always be the first to say she doesn't have Adele's voice or Ariana's or that of many other women, but I think especially today - she embraces the instrument she has and has grown with it immensely. I also heard the change in Lyrics, but the only change I heard, and it is a lovely one is the "AND" in "Something I wait for" AND "something I'm made for" - is that change you are thinking of also, or is there another I've missed? P.S. I heard Billie live in St. Paul, MN on March15, 2022, my first concert in over 40 yrs and it was truly a phenomenal experience for me.

Yay new Hannah video ! It’s always a good day when Hannah posts a new video 😁💜💜

Such a beautiful performance

I am so proud of Billie and Finneas! their souls are so visible in their artwork and this song specifically ALWAYS makes me cry.

Hannah, I got so many chills watching this. I don’t know how you didn’t!

i recommend you also watch the hollywood reporter roundtable with billie, she also talks a lot about how she wrote the song in that interview

Love this, but I was confused when you said she changed the lyrics? It’s the same lyrics from the original

So excited to see your reaction.

My favorite performance from Billie, it was SPECTACULAR.

This was my favorite performance of the night! This song is soooo moving and beautiful💖🥺

Lyrics didn't change?? I liked her rendition on SNL too. and her singing 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' on the same SNL in December, outstanding. Thank you!!

Beautiful reaction! Love this song.. her voice is amazing

Billie has perfect pitch….. it adds so much…..

ive been a fan of billie for a long time, since 2016, its been so cool to watch her grow, and me grow along with her :)

So was I put it on my FB page...I should sit with you some day!!!! Love you!!!

This fricking SLAYED ME and continues to do so. :)

Hannah you nailed just exactly why and how this song cuts right to a persons soul. At times we ALL feel this way and it simply connected in a way few music ever does.

love you beautiful !! xox .. and thanks for reviewing that song

I absolutely CANNOT handle how beautiful it was to change the lyrics. It really encompassed the entire way these Grammys made me feel. Between falling in love with Miley’s pure joy and watching, specifically the women, support each other and hype each other up, and Trevor Noah not bashing the artists but also hyping them up….it was purely a gift to experience. Even JayZ’s little rant that was in support of Queen B was all out of love and admiration. I also love Billie and Finneus so much I can’t even handle it. 💗💗💗

Your reaction is how I feel listening 💜

LOVE YOU HANNAH OMG IKR

Her voice is beautiful.

🤗Well done, Hannah! I appreciate this song on so many levels and you hit nails on their heads with why this was hard for me to cover (besides not being Billie myself lol) 💜👍

HANNAAHHH love this song and love you

I only today heard this song properly for the first time and I was in tears 😢😢😢

Instant follow. This was a great video. ❤

Happy Valentine’s Day Hannah 🩷🩷🩷

Excellent analysis and comparison!

I really like your reactions to Billie's music. I like to check out interviews with Billie also. Recently Billie and Finneas were part of the panel of songwriters with the "Songwriters Hall of Fame -A Conversation with the 2024 Oscar Noms" hosted by Paul Williams and Nile Rodgers. The entire thing is interesting but her and Finneas' part starts at 32:08 - 44:50. She speaks of her influences at 53:58 - 56:28. A lot of it is parts they have talked about before but she shares more I haven't heard.

Billie will make you cry with that song it’s so good

PLEASE react to her brother's videos. Especially the "Break my heart again" song.

I was waiting for this!

I also having all that air makes it sound more emotional

you should watch the more live vocal of this! finneas' harmonies are unreal

This recording sadly didn't pick up Finneas's harmonies very well at all. There's some videos from audience members and his vocals and harmonic choices are IMMACULATE!! Hopefully you get to hear them!!

Thank you for this

Billie didn’t make me cry-Hannah’s reaction made me cry

That vanity fair interview was SO GOOD.

I much prefer listening to this voice than a big loud ordinary gospel voice i've heard a million times before. Its otherworldly and she's amazing!🥰

Do the Oscars version now! I think its the best so far.

so beautiful

I think you would also like I.U. - love wins all, but careful, the music video has great potential to make you cry

I love watching ur videos

I love this song much and yes i got a little bit effect by the dolls and moving a different house. But then i love What i made for. And love your videos Hannah 💗💗💗💗💗💗

I love this performance!!! Originally when I saw the video you definately feel Barbie's despair. In this version,. especially with the glasses off and getting stronger if she goes it seems more like a assault survivor song, which gives this song a life beyond the movie which I love SO much.

Served

Everyone always explains how this song feels so heartbreaking for them. But for myself, the entirety feels so hopeful and earnest. In a way that uplifts me in a way so.many songs cant

This song came out right after my mom died unexpectedly. The feels I get when listening to this song... 😢

We need that Barbie reaction!

as sad as it sounds, there’s hope in the end. first the sorrow then the bit of hopefulness from herself. if you like this song the vanity fair piece is so interesting. how everything sounds alone and different versions. her brother is a genius too, they work incredibly well together.

Great video - I had seen the Vanity Fair interview, and now I'll look for the Apple interview. For such a young woman, she understands what it is to be a woman and in or out of love (with yourself, or another). It's so intrinsically "woman" to spend so much time wondering "what was I made for?" and yet, at one point, to know exactly how her boyfriend was made "that's not what he's made for". We all do that - know others better than ourselves. Chills.

Didn't they get this song done relatively early in production? I remember another interview (with one of the late night talk show hosts i think) where Billie talked about how they managed to work the hook into various parts of the score once they sent it in.

This is so beautiful. Have you seen the girll do it for her audition on American Idol. If not,you really need to.

hannah, it would be awesome if you reacted to lucy dacus, especifically her vocals on night shift and boygenius as well, they sound so good together and make great harmonies

Best version of the song!

An absolutely beautiful performance!

Recommend you to listen to her Guitar Songs- The 30th and TV

As others have said the lyrics are unchanged. I loved the hopeful ending.

My favorite performance I have seen of this song was when she and Finneas performed it on SNL

Hanna, love you!!!! Please, where is my Mamma mia 2 video? ;p

You should watch the songwriters roundtable. Billie talks about how exactly they came up with this song and all the songwriters there are amazing. There's Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo and others I can't rememeber all the names but its was realy wholesome. All the women suporting each other.

3:30 on that topic, it’s so interesting watching Mariah Carey doing similar vocals on My All and Butterfly from back in the 90’s and you realise how hard that sort of vocal is, even for someone like Mariah.

I am crying at the breakfast table

Billie reminds me a lot of early Birdy 🥲 so pretty and so sad

Do a vocal evaluation of billie eilish

Not related Hannah did you see the wicked trailer that came out during the Super Bowl yesterday? What was your reaction ?

Yay

you are doing well : excellent voice intonation, eye contact‼️🥂 🪖

Please react to her live performance of No Time to Die from the Brit Awards. It's the song she wrote for James Bond. You will not be disappointed.

loved! you should react to dua's performance!!!!!!

If you haven't already planned to, you should do some reactions to Hazbin Hotel songs! So many Broadway singers in the cast and every song is a bop!

I didn't think this song could be anymore beautiful. I was wrong. So very wrong. Hearing it and knowing it's live is just... 🤯 I'm shook

She looks so much like the actress in ”now you see me”

hannah, sucker punch is the perfect way to describe it. a gut punch of, "oh, i didn't realize that i was feeling this way until it was put in front of me." i think i try to ignore this feeling, or push it down, or something. and every once in a while, i take it out, brush it off, and carefully hold it in front of me like you would with a childhood barbie. and then other times, it's a gut punch of emotion disguised as nausea. that feeling that connects with me about this song- i truly think it's an internalized sense of objectification. i feel it so deeply because the way women in america have grown up in a society that has very clear rules for how women are supposed to act, think, express ourselves, and generally just be. we are shaped and taught that we are made for certain things, and not made for other things. it's heartbreaking and billie and finneas express this feeling so beautifully with the music, lyrics, vocals, and performance.

I know she didn’t actually change the lyrics, but she did add the word “and” and I feel like it adds something
