“Let Yourself Be Inspired” - Billie Eilish Says To Focus On Inspiration Not Imitation

The way she realised she dapped him up at the end😭😭😭girl is so used to it , that sht was pure muscle memory💀🙏

Take a moment to appreciate Steve as a very skilled interviewer

“you know Billie Eilish when you hear her.” so true man, she has such a recognizable style

Billie may be nervous about the album but I've never seen a person so genuine about being themselves at so young an age.
It's nice seeing someone so enthusiastic about seeking their own truth, and encouraging others to do the same.

She's really good at putting her thoughts and feelings into words. Great interview.

"We're lacking vocals" is so true. So many "singers" today are heavily processed in the studio and don't actually have any sophistication or artistry to their singing. And then they are completely lost when they try to sing live. There is some kind of generic sound that producers these days are creating and I hate it. Billie is so refreshing. Thanks to Finneas for his production that honours the richness and nuance of Billie's vocals.

Her runs and slides are so jazz inspired. I would LOVE a full jazz standards album from Billie.

what a thoughtful interview! stephen colbert has the best questions that draws out the best from his guests...

I like what billie said about new artists finding their way. Let them figure it out.

What she said about being inspired... it reminded me of what Tolkien wrote about stories. He likens it to a perpetual stew, where things have been added over the milennia, and an author takes out a ladle and tries to serve it in a new and interesting way.

This is what America should be. The promise of talent and youth leading the way forward with grace and smarts. What a great young woman she is. Inspiring even to old men like me.

I have to be honest, I really only knew of her by name until now, but what an amazingly thoughtful young woman who seems so down to earth and so… just wow. Poised, engaged, willing to see where that takes her, inspired by others and clearly able to inspire others. As someone of a scientific background, her last bit in this segment reminded me of Isaac Newton saying “if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” The list of vocalists she said inspired her sounds exactly like this, and her willingness to inspire others from her work to try their own version as well.

Simply put, she seems the absolute opposite of narcissism, which in her field with her level of success, can take real resolve to maintain. Very Impressed.

Fell in love with Billie’s voice before I even knew who she was. I’m wayyy older than her main demographic, but… you just love what you love.
💖✨

Billie is such a humble, intelligent, funny human being. Love her💕

I teared up at the idea of Billie Eilish doing an album of Standards. That would be so amazing.

And this is why I'm obsessed with her..she just real..raw..honest..you won't find an artist like this...💯💯👌👌😍😍♥️♥️

Billie and Chet Baker are two of my favorite voices. I love that Steven said that, it’s so true. It’s that perfect blend of vulnerable raw vocals but with crazy angelic tone and precision. ❤rip Chet

I don't know much about her music but everything she said sounded very reasonable. I will check out her music!

Excellent thoughtful interview with an excellent thoughtful singer. She is lucky to get the entire episode with an actual adult interviewer

I screamed so hard when she mentioned Julie London as one of her inspirations, because I love the album “Julie is Her Name” and I hear a bit of Julie in Billie’s voice.
