Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (born December 18, 2001) is an American singer and songwriter.
Why She and Her Songs Have No Time to Die
- She has good vocals in her songs, such as:
- "bad guy"
- "when the party's over"
- Her songs usually have to do with her life and what's affecting her.
- Her music videos are interesting and often tell horror influenced stories, such as:
- "bellyache"
- "bury a friend"
- She is the youngest artist to compose a James Bond film theme song at the age of 18, composing the song for No Time to Die alongside FINNEAS in their bedroom studio.
- She can be very funny sometimes with her fans.
- Her live perfomances and tours are splendid.
- Her albums - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? and Happier Than Ever - were critically acclaimed.
- "i love you" is one of the most emotional and saddest songs of Billie Eilish's entire career. The song was dedicated by the late rapper XXXTentacion, who was murdered, so much so that even at one of her shows on the "When We All Fall Asleep Tour", she cried while singing the song, and made the symbolic "X" sign to dedicate to the late rapper. Watch and check!
- Her documentary - Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry - is very good, and has even been nominated for several awards.
Bad Qualities
- The remix of "bad guy" with Justin Bieber was horrible.
- Several of her songs are not marked as explicit despite containing explicit lyrics:
- Her song "Bored" contains the profane word shit in the line "I hope you don't think that shit's fair."[4]
- Her song "idontwannabeyouanymore" contains the sexist slur whore in the lyric "Told 'a tight dress is what makes you a whore.'"[5][6]
- Her song "party favor" contains the profane word bullshit in the lyric "It's not you it's me and all that other bullshit" and its following lyric "You know that's bullshit, don'tcha, babe?"[6]
- Her song "bad guy" contains the lyric "might seduce your dad type," which is a sexual reference.[7]
- Her song "xanny" is literally about alprazolam (sold under the brand name Xanax), which is a drug.[7][8]
- Her song "Your Power" has several references to sex and crimes related to it in lyrics such as "She was sleeping in your clothes, but now she's got to get to class" and "You said you thought she was your age."[9]
- In the clean version of her song "Happier Than Ever", Eilish screaming out "Fuck you!" can still be heard.[10]
- Her song "Male Fantasy" contains references to pornography.[9]
- While she does have a point about the "All Lives Matter" cause missing the point, she went too far with her statement, and even claimed that other people are not in need or danger, even though there would clearly be white people in danger.[11]
- She also claimed that being white makes you automatically privileged regardless of how poor you are.
