1. The last time

I saw her as the musical guest on SNL she was walking on the ceiling. Weirdest thing ever. I suppose it was special effects.

[applegrove]

2. Don't think I saw that. Don't know her but then I hardly know

any of the musical guests these days.

[bahboo]

4. same here....but I found her oddly compelling....

before she was who she is....

[nolabear]

6. It's a thing.

Lionel, after Fred Astaire

[moondust]

8. Oh yeah.

I'd never seen that done before. Weird. YouTube has Astaire doing it in 1951.

[Pisces]

3. I can't express how much her whispery voice drives me to madness. It is annoying as hell and not

What I would consider good or entertaining.

[USALiberal]

5. Madness? Seriously go see a doctor. Nt

[Celerity]

10. +1

[nolabear]

7. Maybe it's an ASMR issue. Neurological.

I’m not a fan of whispery or mouth-feely or auto tuned myself, but it’s not them. It’s me. I can’t stand my dogs licking things either.

[Celerity]

9. I think she is great, so there is that

have an hour

[Sympthsical]

24. She was great, but that Slow Motion Millie cover was great

It ran under the Lonely Christmas commercial. I had no idea she did a cover of the Smith's "Please Please Please"

So good!

(LOL @ the hour)

[PTWB]

11. She's one of the best singers this century.

Madness is right.

[Pisces]

12. To each their own. Best singer this century is a laugh.

[PTWB]

13. I said one of. Who do you suggest surpasses her raw talent this century?

[Pisces]

14. Annie Lennox, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Adele, Jennifer Hudson

Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Aretha Franklin to name a few

[PTWB]

16. Adele is a pretty solid pick.

Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson don’t hold a candle to Billie. The others, well, you ought to check your calendar. None of them were in their prime this century.

[Celerity]

28. They said this century (which started January 1, 2001), you are tossing in older ones as well.

[milestogo]

27. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift

[USALiberal]

18. This didn't go well for you! Nt

[Pisces]

26. I wasn't going anywhere with my opinion on an opinion board.

[hlthe2b]

17. I am with you. I find her (recording) voice intensely irritating and hyped beyond belief

I truly don't care that she's had a fan base created for her. So, too, have a lot of music "stars" in the past decades. Just no.

On edit, I just watched her appearance on SNL and I fully believe she did a great job--including a couple of sketches where she sang as a torch singer or other character. She showed she CAN sing when imitating someone else and was quite comedic. So, why the breathy, boring, emotionless manner in which she normally sings? It is the latter I can't stand. What gives?

[USALiberal]

19. Lol, ok!

[mvd]

20. I'll join the middle here, lol

I think her voice is fine and her songwriting shows real potential. Her actual music isn’t my favorite but I do like a lot of it.

[Tommy Carcetti]

25. Not much of a fan either.

She’s not terrible but I don’t get the hype. I find a lot of her songs boring and underwhelming. And yes, too much whispering and too little actual singing.

And lest people think I’m just some old fart who doesn’t like any new music, there are numerous contemporary female pop artists that I’m a fan of. Lorde is phenomenal. Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga—all great. Halsey’s most recent album was literally one of the best albums of any genre I’ve heard in years.

But Billie Eilish just leaves me cold and bored. Just my opinion.

30. What do you think of Lana Del Rey ?

Becsuse she is one of Billie's biggest inspirations.

[quickesst]

15. So...

...is she going to do her song once, or will she sing it twice, and give it a different title on the 2nd go round?

[smirkymonkey]

21. I wasn't very familiar w/ her before last night, but I really like both her music and her

presence as an SNL Guest. She was pretty funny. She just seems really down to earth and easy going.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. I'm In Your Camp

At least regarding the show.
I thought she was pretty funny & clearly on board with the program.
I don't, however, care for her singing. That said, her brother is a pretty good song writer. He's a big reason for her success.

23. Miss Eilish's

quirkiness and raw talent always has me turning up the volume on my car radio.

Thoroughly enjoy the singer Lorde as well, her odd hand and body movements mesmerizes me.

29. Am watching my dvr'd copy of SNL....... and I loved the woman doing Ted Cruz......
