Sampled some of her music for the first time yesterday. My youngest daughter loves this singer, but I'm pretty behind the times on what's "good" these days. I know this chick headlines big shows and will be the youngest to open some show here soon. So I picked up the B E DLC for Beat Saber and every one of her songs are edgy themed emo titles (and perhaps lyrics, too?) but the way she "sings" it sounds like she's not even trying on her studio recordings, I can't imagine how low energy she is at her live shows. All her vocals are super soft, husky, barely any air is moving through her lungs and vocals. It's really obvious that she has range and she can sing.....but she doesn't. She just mumbles. Is this really music and why is this what people pay money for? clearly, I'm not the intended audience (see Sting & The Police and more for my taste in music), but why lower the standards so low that THIS is what's being played these days? I can barely swing a light saber to this, I can hardly imagine people dancing to it. Just so lazy, slow repeating lyrics with no real depth. For all her cash, she needs to hire a new song writer. Or not, if she can get away with being lazy and people buying it up, maybe it's time for me to get into the music industry?

She's got Big Mommy Milkers so her performanceship is irrelevant.

Pretty much any pop singer doesn't have the heart or energy to properly sing any sub-genre of a punk rock song and/or emo song. I was listening to that Taylor Swift attempt at a pop punk song and it was just an embarrassment. Sounded like she was just casually talking through the lyrics. And don't get me started on how bad the lyrics words. The entire song probably consisted of like 20 unique words said over and over. Song itself wasn't very bad, but Taylor Swift was just awful for it.

Billie is like teenybopper music now (and maybe forever). She has maybe 2 or 3 good songs. Thats not bad for what it is. A lot of other artists in that demographic arent actually as popular as we might infer, given the state of social media lol. The really popular artists are mostly hip hop pop artists from OUR generation, followed closely by rock musicians, and then modern composers. Then we have the vertuoso types, who occasionally rise to the level of Composer or Rock Star. I dont think there are many real technical technical pop artists tho.

I feel that, esp with this artist

That's her old songs. She sounds better more recently. She mumbles less in recent years. And when she isn't mumbling she's pretty good

She plays it both ways and it confuses her fans. The ones who want her to stay emo and edgy get alienated every time she dies her hair blond and and wears light colored clothing.

I figured she would sound really well if she actually tried, it's just like she figured out she didn't have to and still be successful, which bothers me because I'm a 110% kind of guy.

The song you posted was an improvement, tho

I've unfortunately been subjected to some of her music. She isn't singing and if it weren't for some music in the background, it couldn't be called art.

Compare with Bieber (who led into... well, what we have today)

at least Eilish has a personality (and a strong one at that. She had everyone fooled with her persona! But I like the real Billie. What will she do as an entertainer to bridge the gap?)

I say,
get in shape! People love a good transformation. Become the persona.

The new album was lazy and dogshit songwriting. Even her debut record didn't compare to her EP
