Imagine being in this audience and thinking that what the atmosphere really needs is for you to scream at the top of your voice during the performance.
People are so silly lol, you should have been able to hear a pin drop. Wish I was present for that performance.
She is so good for this kind of dark theme.
im majoring in biochemistry, not really looking to pursue a career in music, but i have to say, i find your videos very informative!
They wanted something spine tingling and intense for this as its Daniel Craig’s last Bond movie - it fits his character. He had final say on the song choice.
Interesting little facts... The conductor is Hans Zimmer, one of the greatest movie score composers of all time and the guitarist is Johnny Marr from the lengendary band The Smiths.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but Billie and her brother Finneas both wrote this song.
How do you guys feel about subtle performers? I loved being able to relax listening to this.
The only ASMR I understand.
I agree. Can not wait for more of your So Hyang reactions. But another you should check out is AILEE her I will always love you cover is amazing. For Kpop fans please check out G-Dragon’s Untitled 2014 live performance ua-cam.com/video/wDT84fa-Muc/v-deo.html, TaeYang’s “Eyes, Nose, Lips” ua-cam.com/video/9un35OyWcN0/v-deo.html both are members of BigBang who are the “Kings of K-Pop” their live MAMA 2015 performance of Loser, Bae Bae and Bang Bang Bang is extraordinary ua-cam.com/video/bGZZxgixkew/v-deo.html Crush’s “Beautiful” ua-cam.com/video/eIVkuMbngI8/v-deo.html and AKMU’s (they are a duo sibling group) “How Can I love the Heartbreak” ua-cam.com/video/BuE2aexPbik/v-deo.html live performances.
Sorry forgot about Park Hyoshin “Wildflower” love ua-cam.com/video/gp5gzKBnzLk/v-deo.html Thanks for what you do!
One I really like is Trees of Eternity. Aleah had such a beautiful, light, and airy voice. ua-cam.com/video/ADzeM3VsgFg/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/2rxWdE8vz4o/v-deo.html
Love it! Her voice sounds so effortless, although I know it is not.
This was a really cool breakdown. I learned a lot. (Oh and I’ve seen the film twice now. It’s wonderful and the song fits beautifully.)
If you don't know who Aurora is then I can see how people can be in love with Billie. She said it herself, she heard Aurora at 11-12 and decided: that's what I want to sound like (and no one can blame her!). I feel that she basically brought Aurora's sound to North American ears and became popular for it. She has done well in attempting to make Aurora's sound her own. For those interested in learning and hearing more, check out Julia Nilon's reaction review to Aurora's "It Happened quietly". She will transport you through time and space
You should react to other Billie eilish live performance
Great!
if theres one thing i would really like to hear... is to have Julia actually sing this song :)
Dear Julia, I asked before and you talked like your reaction would have to be gentle but I am asking again to PLEASE react to the black & white version of Angelina Jordan sing I Put A Spell On You. I finally got other reactors to go ahead & react to her and I subsribed to you the day you reacted to my guy Dimash sing SOS because I really liked your knowledge so I think if you do a full reaction to that song you will be as amazed at the end as others are who doubted reacting to it until they did. If you truly have problems like you THINK you will then say it but PLEASE do a reaction. She also has well over 100 other songs including 5 of her own songs so the possibilities to react are endless. One of the others if you insist is her tribute to Whitney with I Have Nothing.(made me cry like she usually does)
hi julia! i loved this reaction - please could you react to tori kelly or hayley williams? they're both phenomenal singers and you might like them
It would be awesome if we could hear you sing some covers
Could you PLEASE also consider reacting to vocal beast Shoshana Bean? My favourites are intense emotional ride Make It Rain, runs all the way to Heaven and back Saving All My Love, and Broadway favourite She Used to be Mine. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Not applicable to this but Finneas, her brother and producer, gave an interview where he said he is always sampling for things to use in production and post. In Bury a Friend there is a dental tool sampled when she was at the dentist. In Bad Guy the high hats is actually the sound they recorded in Australia at a crosswalk... a ticky tacky sound. Something to listen to after Billie and another pass to see what is hidden in the background. I imagine these are also used live off the digital sampler if desired.
I seek to be literal here: it is hard to listen to your words . . . because you are literally distractingly angelic. It catches me off guard, every time, and I confess I require a second listen to overcome the temporary mesmerization and even be able to perceive the obvious wisdom and dripping intelligence.
What a curse this must be for someone with Ninja-level knowledge on her chosen subject. :/
Fun stuff.
Anyway, I learn something interesting with every single one of your videos, and I am very grateful for that. No wasted minutes in your world.
-Cheers
Well there actually using this song for the new James bond movie
react Larkin poe vocal please ! they are amazing
I think i saw you...can somebody tell me if she has appeared on the movies or something like that?
what you think of steve tyler from aerosmith i don t o miss a thing
Love you from morocco please i want to learn more about technique Of sohyang spéciale hug me
Hi coach Julia kindly check and react to ms Lea Salonga Video from Les Miserable she’s a famous singer here in the Philippines she is Disney princes thanks coach🙂
oh wait im early hehe
I would love to see you react to Dolly Parton live! Her voice is truly magical!
ua-cam.com/video/y9H7bc6mJuI/v-deo.html
There is a 14 year old from Kazakhstan who does sing it just as well if not better. Her name is Daneliya Tuleshova and you should absolutely react to her, she's amazing
I like Billie but sometimes I wish her enunciation was more clear.
Billie is well known to have perfect vocal diction. I question your thought process..
What makes me addicted to Billie Eilish is that she is able to give each song its unique mood, like having for each song a different singer. For Example compare "No Time To Die" to "Come Out And Play".
Funny, cause for me they sound all in the same mood.
@@godcaoss "No Time To Die" and "Come Out And Play"?
She's definitely great at portraying emotion through her music.
@@godcaoss Listen to Bad guy and then listen to i love you
Glad to see as a vocal coach, you're not pushing everyone to sound the same or use the same techniques.
Artistry can be delivered in so many ways. If everyone sounded the same that'd get pretty boring :)
@@jvoxfox Yes, and pre-Billie was all boring.
@@vp4744 yup... for decades
@@vp4744 Apparently you're too young to remember Nina Simone, Julie London, Janis Ian, Etta James and too many others to list here. You should search for some of them on YT.
I'll second that, I like the appreciation for different approaches on this channel.
Billie's voice is perfect for this. She uses her voice so well, especially in setting specific moods/atmospheres.
I'd love for you to react to Still Love You by Lee Hongki and Yoo Hweseung. They're Korean artists from two seperate bands, but they have some awesome vocals. (Sadly there's no live version, only the music video, but they eat their CDs so there isn't too much difference sound wise)
Still Love You is my "ugly crying when my family is not at home" song. makes me feel the same way every damn time. so powerful
@@dogailayda7523 if that's not the biggest mood 😂
hello im an army and a billie fan as well 💛
Billie is so deliberate with her notes. She perfects each tone the way she wants them to be.
Great reaction Julia. :) Love your analysis on how Billie Eilish uses subtleties to captivate the audience.
Another signer you should check out is Lara Fabian, she is also a master technician and is known though out the vocal community as "The Ring" due to her impressive resonance. Any song from her Lara with Love concert would be a treat to analyze. Some recommendation from that concert are:
Je suis malade (French song theres a video with eng subtitles, its best to use that one to understand the deep meaning of the song that she conveys): ua-cam.com/video/dVvlmpo5g9k/v-deo.html
Adagio: ua-cam.com/video/jKtNuLG5jAo/v-deo.html
Broken Vow (song starts at 1:08): ua-cam.com/video/FNVR0yK8Ec8/v-deo.html
Caruso (Italian song, video with eng subtitles): ua-cam.com/video/zYZWbzEmWY0/v-deo.html
Thanks Julia. Keep up the amazing videos :)
:O 5:37 awesome tone, I really really love your voice, I just found your channel and I'm definetly subing ^^
Btw I love a song that Billie covered on radio 1 I think, It's calld ''The end of the world'' I think you should really react to that one if you havent already, It's so diferent from the original and it made me cry like a little baby the first time I listened to it >.
I had the exact same reaction to her cover of "The End of the World". Just hauntingly beautiful and utterly heartbreaking. Bawled my eyes out.
As a vocal coach, I'd be interested to see you react to Angelina Jordan. You can start when she's a child (7 or 8) or anytime since (she's 14 now), it doesn't really matter., but her version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins (!) 'I Put a Spell on You' is one you'll surely never forget. She was 9 at the time. If you think Billie is good (and she certainly is), Angelina and her relationship with her voice and music almost defy belief - much like Billie. For your own pleasure, check her out. Despite her age, it would be a grievous error to think of her as a 'child singer.'
Amira Willighagen is great too:)
Not a big fan of Billie's music in general, but this song gives me serious goosebumps. I have a serious admiration for her voice. Very soft, clear, and like you say, you hear all the little inflections, and subtleties.
Holy fuck, I hadn't heard this one before. VERY impressive.
You didn't spot Johnny Marr from The Smiths providing some archetypal James Bond guitar? And the high harmonies from Finneas...
Just focusing on Billie in this one. I also ignored Hans. Honestly though I freaking love the collaborative nature between Finneas and Billie. It's so goddamn good.
@@jvoxfox Well, Hans kind of goes without saying. But I think the relationship between Billie and Finneas is complex. I watched their lockdown video with Finneas on a Wurlitzer electric piano, and his mood seemed to shift from moment to moment. Sometimes he was definitely giving her the evil eye. I don't know if that is just his perfectionist nature demanding all from his sister, or whether maybe he has some bipolar issues.
@@donepearce interesting observation. I think things can become complex the moment mental illness develops into a very real thing. Part of why their music comes across as so real is because it is and I don't think the darker tones in their music could only come from Billie.
Who'd have thought Johnny Marr supporting Hans Zimmer supporting Finneas supporting Billie for a Bond theme.
@@donepearce More likely signaling to Billie a musical que...or for her to focus, or to stop goofing, or to stop burping, or to stop cussing....😆
Julia, your two part reaction at 6:32; an artist who can do that to an experienced coach; a person who can do that to another person; those are the moments I live for. As an empath I feel what you felt every time I watch it. I mean, you're already enjoying yourself; you're into the song fully, and then she takes you to another world, your jaw dropping anticipation before the peak, then pure joy after. Quite the authentic moment.
I'm From Philippines Ans I Really Love Billie❤
Honestly she is fantastic and I agree 100% about "showing off", I feel like Billie get a vision of a song and try her best to convey that emotion, her voice is a tool to get there, not the main focus. She never does too much, she always sounds like herself !! I think she is a very interesting artist !
Billie has such an unique smooth balance to her voice, it's just incredible to listen to her sing... to me she's the best woman vocalist around, just love her voice!
And again, loved to see you get swept by the music instead of just trying to analyze it, said it on another video and will say it again, it's what makes your videos different from other vocal coaches.
Cheers
Wait, that's Hans Zimmer?! 🤩🤩🤩
I actually loved this song, I agree it fits her voice perfectly and lends a fragility to it.
I hated the movie but this opening, my God, I melt every time as soon as she starts singing
I enjoy Billie because of those subtleties. So often modern music can be overwhelming, she uses silence and nuance to be engaging.
You should do falling in reverse- the drug is me reimagined
Loved you reaction! Seriously astute. I LOVE BILLIE!!!!!!! I also love that you talk about the subtlies in her work. I feel that what she does after--but connected to the-- belt in this preformance is 🔥
Since Jinjer toured Australia in March, I'm surprised you haven't reacted to any of their songs.
Oh my god she have toooooo
Yes! One can't claim to be a YT reactor without doing one to Jinjer- Pisces can they? lol ua-cam.com/video/SQNtGoM3FVU/v-deo.html
that was great! and yeah her voice fits really well a james bond movie! this is indeed relaxing! Ok i have a reccomendation for reaction although you probably have a big list already XD this perfomer from China with english name Zhou Shen ua-cam.com/video/gjYE6dFZ1co/v-deo.html ,please give it a go! he is probably a countertenor who can sing soprano notes and sound almost like a female! i am surpised why not many other coaches have discovered him yet! I guess cause the videos dont include his English name there so its hard to find him! I know your list has more of the big names in there,but keep this artist in mind too! thanks for the reaction
I'm more in to rnb but when it comes the best female vocalists I'd have to pick Billie Eilish, Amy Lee, Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter and perhaps... Mel B😂!!!
You forgot the best of all Angelina Jordan !
This was the first time it performed this song live
I love her ability to recognize that she doesn't belt the best, as evidenced in her documentary. But we've had that before with Adele and Sam Smith, this is the final piece of the trilogy of these themes. I tend to listen to them all in a stretch. I will disagree that Bond themes aren't big cinematic pieces, especially the further you go back into the catalogue. Love your videos!
Morissette just released a new version of Rise Up, please react to it.
Now you have been fully vindicated in your judgement - Billie won the OSCAR and her song there was beautiful - and she's singing with such strength now [well, in her own way she always has!] - I'm a 68 yr. old Billie Believer and went to my first concert in over 40 years, at St. Paul, Minnesota Xcel Energy Center on March 15, 2022 - it was a highlight of my life; Billie was awesome! She gives her fans everything. Tomorrow, March 29, marks 3 years since her debut LP "WWAFAWDWG" (March 29, 2019) on her Mother's Birthday. You have followed Billie some - it's remarkable from 13 - 15, on "Don't Smile At Me"; 16-17 on WWAFAWDWG, 18 - 19, on "Happier Than Ever" - and Billie's versatility is phenomenal - from "idontwannabeyouanymore" to "Bad Guy" or "Bury A Friend" - she combines the balladeer and the (previously unseen) rock star in "Happier Than Ever" (the track). Billie directed the music video. Olivia Rodrigo had a super year and has a super career;
Taylor is awesome; Lil Nas X is courageous and superb - how would a person pick Grammys for Sunday, April 3, 2022 - I'm thinking Billie will win 1 for sure, maybe 2, and Olivia could win 3 or 4.
Love this reaction Julia, you’ve just got a brand new subscriber 😘, between this and Pisces by Jinjer. I would love to see some acapella reactions, like Pentatonix and their Daft Punk Medley. Or Home Free ft Avi Kaplan with Ring Of Fire. Those two acapella groups are my favourite music artists EVER 💜💛
Could you please react to "PROMISES" by AGNEZ MO?🙏
Great reaction again!
Regarding beautiful young singers, please check out Amira Willighagen, she won Holland's got talent at nine without training singing opera!
How does she have 11k subs in a month, am I missing something??
Ably assisted by Finneas, Johnny Marr and the man, Hans Zimmer, himself.
Hola soy de de Argentina 🇦🇷 me encantan tus reacciones...estoy viendo ahora tu reacción a billie y acá son las 1:30 AM besos
mood
Girl your hair is FIRE❤❤
do her live radio version of "ocean eyes"
(wfnm 'we found new music')
Can't understate Finneas' contribution to this song, either.
If I’m not mistaken, you have mentioned that you like dramatic music. Since you already reacted to KZ, I suggest you have to react her performance in Singer 2018 entitled Say Something. I promise you will keep on listening to it all day long. By the way, I so love the wau you react. More love from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
I don't know if you do requests, but I'd like to see a reaction to mike patton doing either Simply Beautiful (Fantomas) or As the Worm Turns (Faith No More)
React to classical songs Laal ishq and Aayat from Indian singer Arijit Singh 🇮🇳
I'd love to hear that in the studio, without the fans screaming.
Doesn't using a lot of breathy singing dry out your vocal folds
Please react to Faouzia!!
What song/style? :)
@@jvoxfox omg you might be the first good vocal coach to react to her! Erm, I can't choose, maybe Tears of Gold stripped version. Yes, that displays her ability quite well.
Rebecca vocal athlete was the first, followed by the honest vocal coach, and very recently Tara Simon reacted to her last week. Three have already reacted to Faouzia.
@@Rosannasfriend Yeah ik, I saw Rebecca's one but idk I'm not that much of a fan, I loved Tara's but Julia is really good with contemporary breakdowns. She's finally being discovered😭
Hi Julia! Thanks! 🇰🇿🔥!
Please react to so hyang bridge over troubled water
Hi Julia! My order of preference for this song: 1. Your Reaction 2. Song Composition 3. Orchestration 4. Seeing Hanz Zimmer 5. Vocals
I would have liked a bit more colour/timbre in the vocals, and not sure how believable (emotionally) you can be at 18? (except for Il Volo & Jackie Evancho :)
But thanks for exposing us to artists I otherwise wouldn't have listened to, would be interesting to see how Billie develops as you said :)
Now I'm going to try and think of other young performers whos singing massaged my scalp ! My fav young pop prodigy is probably Lorde :)
BTW. Please react to Dimash singing Mademoisele Hyde (on HTB!) , many people including myself got serious 007 theme song vibes from that one! ;)
ua-cam.com/video/tXR1GCsLTSw/v-deo.html
You cant seriously fault her vocals ... your number 2 would be my number 5 .. even though they wrote it in a bus .. pretty good song, but it was written for a movie....
Billie Eyelash
Morissette just released a new video as her birthday treat for her fans. It's an a capella, Pentatonix style, version of Rise Up. A level up rendition compared to the one you already watched on Wish Bus. Here's the link, ua-cam.com/video/ynCnpX0O3qU/v-deo.html
Oooh gosh, this a future vid for sure!!
react
hello i would like you to react to NF "can you hold me"
I subbed!
Why hasnt Finneas and Billie taken off here... i believe they have done two tours here... ( pre me knowing they existed ) I would love to see them live, just need to borrow a kid to take with me ... lol
Don't even need a kid! I firmly believe her music is for a broader audience than teens.
@@jvoxfox i am an old fart....Totally agree... i listen to rock / metal,, not pop ... but i am weirdly really into there music... BTW .. its not Her its Them... Finneas is something special .... they both are ... once in a generation ... but .. I did ask my neice to come with me to There concert prior to covid... so i didnt feel like a dick....
People of all ages love Billies music. Don’t be shy to admire talent where admiration is due
Finneas too, they are both such admirable artists
Julia i also have a vocal question for you! i asked on the Dimash reaction video but i guess it got totally lost in the chaos of comments! Is it possible to blend the head voice with the whistle register and create something like a super head voice? kinda similar way you blend chest with head? i am asking because i know about Dimash! a great opera singer who also does reaction here on youtube stated that what he did on SOS was not whistle register!And you will see in future reactions of Dimash he usually goes easy all the way up to E6/F6 and sounds clean like a supreme head voice! So i am confused if someone can actually mix head/whistle
Hey Nikos! good question and I totally understand the confusion. Each register has a transition area in the voice (passagio) and what I heard was a narrowing of Dimash's sound as if he was approaching a transition to whistle register. He does not sing a pure whistle note in SOS. I just got really excited and wanted to explain what a full whistle register was because to me that sound of approaching a whistle mechanism matched up with comments saying he could sing them (just not in that video. he really doesn't leave second register in SOS even if he did narrow that sound). I really goofed up by cutting my comment prior to that section (it's in the description box of that Dimash video). As far as I know you cannot mix a whistle register and a second register because the whistle register requires that very specific mechanism that I explained in the video. Does that help at all? Anything else you'd like to know let me know!!
@@jvoxfox I have seen coaches saying that this is whistle and i have seen others say that this is head voice! i was referring to that opera singer cause she was in a list of top 40 female sopranos under 40,so she is probably a pro when it comes to high notes! Still you need to listen more of his E6s and F6s to understand why its confusing! in my uneducated opinion it sounds head voice and not whistle register! Cause he has shown his whistle with E7-G7s,several times! I still haven't understood where exactly the passagio is happening ,probably i would say above F6,but we havent heard him yet attempting any G6 in head voice! Thank you for the answer though! I might refer to his high notes again in future videos to see if you change opinion or we find a conclusion!
@@satirikos1234 he is definitely in head voice in SOS! Even if he approached a change in register it didn't fully switch. A pure whistle has a different tonal quality to it. I just got way too excited and probably should have saved that explanation for a video where he does indeed demonstrate a pure whistle.
@@jvoxfox ohh i see! thank you for your answer Julia!
Wow. When you sang I was blown away. Where’s your singing content?
What I want to know as well!
Good analysis, but I think maybe you should try to resist the temptation to patronise. It's a bit uncomfortable.
She didn't say anything wrong… Somebody will always be offended by something…
just a great song
