Billie Eilish - I'm just not getting it

[The Observer 641]

Now before someone says 'get off my lawn', I am fairly up to date with contemporary music. I am a fan of Lizzo, Camila Cabello, Dean Lewis, Halsey and many more younger acts. 

But I just don't enjoy Billie Eilish. She cleaned up at the Grammy's. And seems to be the biggest young act in the world right now.  To me, her music is so droning and boring.  No melody at all.  I can see the talent. She's only 17. But not seeing her as the huge sensation she has become. 

I doubt I'll get much pushback on a board of fellow old farts like me. Just wanted to give my two cents.  Now get off my lawn!

Check out Ellie Eilish

Thank me later

 

Also  - Halsey > BIllie Eilish

EMO music has made a comeback.  And it is not the one style EMO music from the late 80's/Early 90's.  Is EMO house and EMO Rap music.  So strange.

Halsey is awesome.  One of my favorite pop acts.

I like the song Bad Guy.  I would never tell my 17 yo daughter that though and would hate to know if she listened to this.

She seems like a weird chick.

Her brother is the real talent. IMHO

That song has got to be one of the worst songs I have ever heard. It's nails on a chalk board bad for me, and I am fine with a lot of new music

Yeah, that song isn't bad.  It has a touch of melody. 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Kind of like a dirty, tattooed, sullen Lorde.  You won't hear a peep from her after 2021.

With her style of clothing it is probably hard to get a concrete answer, but Can Size?

I got a creepy incestual vibe when they were together at the Grammy's.

[Utilit99 4,099]

I love this song:

 

[Djgb13 2,338]

To me she has no emotions. None in her singing and none personality wise either. She looks like the type of girl who’s a buzzkill at parties and doesn’t shower often. 

[kilroy69 994]

she is trash. Her brother is a music industry insider that has made it his pet project to make his little sister into the whisper/mumble singing queen.

You fockers that actually like this crap are freaks.  this music sucks.

Teenaged girl?  I guess so.  But a grown man liking it?   Jesus what is the world coming to

So many cucks in that video. And crying, over Hillary fockin Clinton? Get a grip. Better yet, get a gun. And use it on yourself 

[peenie 1,690]

i like her.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,585]

dont think I will ever say this again but I agree with Newbie

shes terrible

I love Halsey

 

[OldMaid 1,838]

I liked Bad Guy... haven’t liked anything else from her, that I’ve heard.

Much prefer  Halsey and Dua Lipa...

[JustinCharge 2,397]

You could drop the entire list of pop music today (minus the rap) into 1979 and people would instantly recognize it as disco.  This girl included.

Its a disco world now.

[Utilit99 4,099]

Dumbest thread ever. Which wuss started it?

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Billie eilish doesn't move the needle for me much either way. It's weird, but largely listenable pop crap. Is it good? No. But compared to the rest of what is made these days, I'll take it. The only time I'm ever gonna hear it is in a mall or something anyway.

Now you want an example of what really sucks? This abortion.

Basically, Camilla whatever her name is (I actually liked havanna and seniorita. They're the exact same song, but whatever) does a mediocre cover (with lyric changes) of the chorus of a fastball song from the 90s.

Then she stops, and machine gun Kelly, a no talent ass clown if ever there was, comes out and jerks off on it for a bit. 

Rinse and repeat. What a garbage song. 

[fandandy 3,311]

If it wasn't for clowns like him I might be a white supremacist.  But, alas, we're no better than the colored ones.

what is there to get????
