Why Billie Eilish Is One Of The Best Musicians Out Right Now

She may be "out there" but that's what makes her music is perfectly one of a kind.

I recently got into Billie's music, and I was able to see her perform in Atlanta at Music Midtown last September. When I found out that she was only a teenager at the time, I couldn't believe it. At her age, I was still struggling with acne and finishing last at track races. I can't imagine being her age and being so famous. I was also incredibly shy at her age, so performing on a stage in front of a live audience would be a no-go. I was just lucky to be brave enough to perform Bruno Mars' Grenade on the piano at my high school's talent show. That was my 5 minute of fame.

Billie Eilish, on the other hand, has over 28 million followers on Instagram, as well as millions of people all over the world listening to her music. You know how many followers I had at that age? Like 100. Anyways, she is famous, and in my opinion, she deserves it because she is a musical genius. She doesn't just play the type of music that everyone else is playing. In fact, all her songs sound different.

Also, her music videos are creative. She doesn't try to be overly beautiful or show off idealized beauty. In fact, she said once that she doesn't like smiling because it makes her feel powerless. And she wears baggy clothes because people can't judge her body if they don't know what it looks like. This view on beauty shows us that women don't have to wear short skirts or tight shirts in order to be beautiful, and in fact, we should be appreciated because of our talents (such as musical talents) not our outward beauty. I like how Billie isn't afraid to be different. She wears weird and interesting clothing because she wants to be different. Her music is the same as her style: eccentric but cool.

Her music videos can be a little weird. In the music video for the song "when the party's over," she drinks a glass of strange liquid and then the blood looking liquid runs out of her eyes. It can be disturbing for sure, but how creative is that?

The relationship Eilish has with her brother is adorable. Her brother, Finneas, helps her write her music. He helped her with the songs "Ocean Eyes" and "Six Feet Under" and more. This sibling relationship is super cute, and dang I wish my sister and I could write music like them and become famous.

Yes, Billie is a little "out there" and to some, she may be weird. She and her brother were homeschooled, and her middle name is Pirate. Her full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (what a name!) She also has Tourette syndrome. But as humans, we all have our quirks, don't we? Also, her music talents and wild fashion choices makes her interesting and intriguing. She's inspiring to any 17 year old who wants to pursue music.

Even though she may be a big time star now, it is obvious that she tries to relate to her fans and show that she is just a down to earth 17 year old kid. She is a Belieber, as she has loved Justin Bieber since she was younger. Also, she says that The Office, an iconic comedy show, is one of her favorite shows of all time. The famous musician may be more like us than we think. With her creative and unique ways, there's no wonder why she's famous.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
