"Adorable...but like badass" is one of the most perfect descriptions of BE. Exactly. Thank you for the reaction!

the vocals on this last album are immaculate. you can hear her gigantic improvements and i just can't stop listen to her, literally hit me hard and soft on repeat since it came out

Her new album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT it's pure art. Every song hits you, she' s incredible vocalist. You should listen that album as soon as posible.

Honestly watching you fiddle it out on your keyboard is one of my favorite parts.

I love this song… but this live performance is insane…

JEEZ HER BREATHING TECHNIQUE IS SO GOOD. this was so long 10:09

Pauses with explanations, analysis, and extra context from your experience is exactly what I look for in a reaction channel. I'm glad you're not planning to change anything.

I've been a fan of yours for a long time and while I prefer metal core and genres of that nature to pop I gotta say... Billie Eilish blows me away. I mean she doesn't write bad music ever. She's one of those rare special talents and it's cool to see and hear.

Never seen your channel beffore, but don't you EVER stop getting down on that piano and feeling the music and taking time to analyze it. It's lovely and exciting and informative.

this album is just a masterpiece overall, the live performance was even better, and your reaction video was just a cherry on top

The gift she has is just incredible. There are many people who can sing well technically, but the specific sound and tone of one's voice just is what it is, and hers is SO special.

I agree, love your BiFi reactions. Billie considers this song the centerpiece, please do more of the new album tho they dropped it as a whole album listen with no pre-singles released. I think it's their best album. It shows the time and care they took to make it... Thank you Mr. JM!!

I’ve been waiting for you to hear some of Billie’s new album. More, please.

Billie and Finneas write and produce their own music!

Thank god music shed is back. Missed ya!

Lamour de ma vie might be up your alley

I enjoy the pauses etc. I like your reactions because you let us into your musician of a mind and how you see songs. I don't have your knowledge so it's nice to kinda play around and see it from your point of view. Always gives me a different insight into a song I already know and love. More Hit Me Hard And Soft album plz :D

You are so incredibly talented! The way you can just hear something and play it is amazing! Love your reactions

I LOVE THIS. This needs WAY MORE recognition!!!

There’s an interview with Billie’s mixer and I think it’s like an houh long and I listened to the entire thing with fascination. I feel like he’s so overlooked in terms of his fine tuned and attentive precision as well as grasp of Billie’s vocals and needs in particular. The sound engineering discussed is so fascinating and comprehensive. Thanks for shouting him out, I’m unfortunately terrible with names but I love knowing about all these technical details that contribute to the phenomenon that is the quality of Billie’s music.

Perfection with every element. It was them as a duo that did it all!!!

incredible reaction. you clearly know your stuff. a listener can recognize a good sound but the way you break it down is amazing.

You pause the perfect amount david. Keep it up :)

Thanks for the reaction. I always enjoy your analysis.

i know you dont usually go for album reactions, but i'll definitely would watch it if you did

High quality music. Yes.

A note: Bills said that she didn't learn how to belt until she turned 18. Now, here, she was 5 months into 22. Got that one !! --- Also, anybody else chip in to hear Cecilia Bartoli sing this ?

Totally impressed by this.

You should react to Lana del rey and Billie Eilish performing Ocean eyes and video games together!

Love this song, this performance and your reaction!

Some people are critizing that she is lip singing... I disagree with this.There is a track of some sort because of all The vocal layers but having listened to the studio version many times, you can hear some small changes she makes on some of the runs, etc. What do you think? Love her, and this is my favorite on the album.

"I wish you were gay" is another jazz song of hers, especially live performances. "Bury a friend" is very Cab Calloway IMO. Of course , "Listen before I go" is practically a Billie Holiday song written by Billie Eilish.

That "shame on you!" finger wag was The Greatest! Subscribing! :D

Mad respect for Billie's talent. Still waiting on that Starset - Kashmir reaction. ;)

you should listen to For Free? by kendrick lamar. it is super jazzy. or just To Pimp a Butterfly as a whole lol

David, I like your reactions - but when you say 2023 (from Howie's miscue), I wondering - well, I wonder, where has David been - though it could be you are playing your own music in night clubs or elsewhere - I have a friend in a BLUE GRASS group - the WOODPICKS in Thief River Falls, MN and he hadn't heard of Billie Eilish - it's like they have their own music & venues to play and he's done it his whole life. DREW THORNTON is her FOH sound Engineer [channel: LEARN LIVE MUSIC "Billie Eilish's FOH Engineer, Drew Thornton (Podcast Episode 6 (June 15, 2023)]. I do not mind your pauses but the one from 3:54 to 4:55 was unusual in that there was quite a bit of silence as, I think, you were listening to and getting ready to play it one piano. P.S. NOT FOR A REACTION or REVIEW - I recommend listening to HIT ME HARD AND SOFT in your downtime - if you ever have any [and perhaps with headphones] to hear this 22 yr. old and her 26 yr. old brother creating something - in my view - very unique and special - "CHIHIRO", "BITTERSUITE" and "BLUE" are, I believe, awesome - so are you. As I listened to the last 2 again last evening [June 24, 2024] i wondered if something like Bittersuite or Blue could be translated into - I'm not a musician [played trombone and baritone and high school band and chanted the liturgy as a Lutheran minister (well and on pitch! ... Mitch] but a Blues or Jazz suite or piece - Bittersuite is not only a reference to a hotel SUITE but also a Musical SUITE, though almost no one makes that connection - a few do.

Would love to see you react to the singer Ado, especially her cover of aishite aishite aishite!

Is this another Grammy winner? Is the album another Grammy winner? She is so much much better than swift…. She was more heavily involved in the production of this album with her genius brother…. Incredible song writers … as good as anything from the 60s and 70’s…

Omg am I early for once

REACT TO RAYEEE she’s an incredible jazz singer!!!

Okay, question: I can count the beats for what time signature they're in (I'm counting it for now as 1 2 3, 1 2 3 4 5), but can you tell me what the time signature actually technically is??? It's driving me crazy that I can't figure it out LOL but I loved your reaction!

I love your reactions! Could you pls react on their End of the world cover? :)

You should review Benson Boone - beautiful things.

As a jazz musician, you might enjoy a young artist by the name of Angelina Jordan. She is 18 yers old, but i would suggest you start with her performances on Norways Got Talent when she was 7 years old and then work your way through to present day. Please don't be put of by the fact that she is so young as she is capable of performing at a level that is far above what her age would suggest.

please react to blackpink shut down coachella 2023 and chappell roan supernova

I love this song, but I'm not sure this is actually a live performance. Go to the record, listen to the studio recording... 👀🤔 I discovered this song and it truly IS a powerfully moving composition and performance by Billie on record, but this is supposed to be live at the Late Show...? there is NO organic, "human" sounds or ...and ah, there you go at the end of the video literally saying it sounded like a record, its too clean, because it is NOT 100% live. If anything, the outro has live vox, but that's it. Go to the studio recording and listen side-by-side... and hey, again, not taking anything away from the song, it is phenomenal and i love Billie's voice, and have heard her bring the good when she's performed live but my "ear" has been around a while, you know... When she hits the first drop of the "greateeeeeeest" around your 9:36 mark, she's holding the mic too far from mouth to not have SOME kind of natural volume variance or textual or sonic change to be heard by us, there is nothing. Sounds like the sweeping reverb in the second verse too, exactly like the album version. They're playing with the studio backing track or it could be only Billie "live" over the studio recording...? It's a shame because she is so talented that I WANT to hear her sing it live! Maybe she/they had her reasoning 🤷

Do you consider your subscribers "apausles?"

Now the music sounds horrible she was my fav singer for some reason like every singer HAS NO TALENT THEY JUST ASK THEIR DADDY FOR WORKERS TO TUNE THEIR VOICE AND GUESS WHAT😂 IT WENT VARIAL WITHOUT TRYING OR IMPROVE THEIR VOICES edited like not every singer but you get what I mean like greedy came out and it sounds good but when it’s live she sounded like a child

love watching you interpret through the keyboard
