Billie was a dancer but had to stop due to an injury. She recorded Ocean Eyes at 13 and uploaded it to sound cloud as a dance track at the request of her dance teacher. The song took off and her family paid for the low budget video as a birthday gift for her. She recorded the video the day after her 14th birthday. Insane! She and Finneas are so talented.
Billie is so good. She and Finneas are so creative. Even on this EP, the songs sound so "mature" for the time that was released, a bit ahead of time. Great reaction!
Thing about Watch and Watch&Burn is: They did these two versions and her brother liked the first one better and Billie the version with V. Staples. So finally both landed on the EP.
Bellyache is from the pov of a psychopath that has killed their friends, stolen money, and left their lover in a gutter. They thought they would feel better, but the guilt has given them a bellyache. There are more elaborate explanations out there, but these are the basics.
love how u said 'like a James bon movie'; because she recently did a song for the upcoming James Bond movie :) u should react to it!!! its called 'no time to die'
Wow! Your review was very insightful. I have watched a lot of people reacting to Billie, but I feel that you understood her far better than most. Really good reaction.
Please react to the singles she released between this EP and her debut album: Bored, Bitches Broken Hearts, Come Out and Play, Lovely, and Six Feet Under. They aren’t part of any one album; they were just singles released while we waited.
Hiii I just started binge watching your videos not too long ago and before I say anything, your vids are amazing where have you been in my life lmao keep up the great work. But anyways my #1 fav artist Ashnikko is dropping her debut album "Weedkiller" on June 2nd of this year and I think doing an artist series on her dicography would be super dope to watch and I think you'd enjoy her music/lyrics. I don't know if you've already heard of her or not but I just thought i'd put this out there ^_^
Alot of the details are actually hazy around the Ocean Eyes backstory, there are whole video essays you can find on RUclips dissecting how she became an industry plant and such. Her parents are also both smaller actors, and video game voice actors, so she already had a link to the entertainment industry. But saying this, I adore this EP and her first album. I don't think it's actually an issue when plants are talented artists, I think they just get a bad rep because there are droves of wonderfully talented UNSIGNED artists out there (but this implies the plant in question is untalented and/or not worthy of success, which, Billie/Finneas definitely deserve their fame!). There are plenty of other strikingly popular artists we've learned not to question that are likely plants, like Katy Perry and her transition from Christian music to her debut album, or Hayley Williams/Paramore. Either way, this is just another reason you should separate the art from the artist!
Finneas had a band since high school, so he new an agent. He's the one that contacted the agent,who brought in another agent, and they have been representing them since right after Ocean Eyes. As for br8ng "plants", there are so many gaiked or sporadically employed actors in LA, like her patents. Dad's day job was as a carpenter for Hasbro toys. Mom homeschooled both Finneas and Billie and taught homeschooling classes in arts and crafts at their home and comedy improv. They almost lost their house due to the financial crash. They just encouraged the kids to be creative .
Please react to Céline Dion's Album Courage (2019). It was #1 on the Billboard and was the best-selling album in its release week. She has collaborated with Sia, Sam Smith, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, LP, Adele producers and others. She was nominated for 3 awards for the album, the album received 2 gold and 1 silver certification. You will not regret !!! #CelineDionCourageAlbum ❤💞
@@meyechelangelo I wonder how many subscribers you had back then. Also I knew you from Dua Lipa when she did a reaction compilation to people reacting to her mv “physical” and you were one of the people on there I really wish someone could reupload your full reaction to that mv
My Billie Reaction got to 17K views in like a week 🥲 Before I deleted it and rebranded my channel to Discographies! I think it got me to 700 subs! And omg I will never forget when Dua & Justin bieber posted me on their IG for “Physical” and “Get me” ft. Kehlani

13!!????? WTF
@@meyechelangelo ya the vocals u hear on Ocean Eyes is a 13 yr old Billie's
this EP really set the stage for her future success
SHE WAS 15!!!!
@@meyechelangelo wait till you find out how old she was when ocean eyes dropped
@@jmxntz fr
@@meyechelangelo 13 when ocean eyes dropped 😭
It's the only female project with every song having at least 180 M streams!
She sound like an angel. Her voice so soft and innocent when she was 15.
To this day I think idontwannabeyouanymore is her most brilliant song, with a lot of competition.

I like the v staples version

Love thattt

She's also the youngest recording artist in history to write and sing for a James Bond theme song.

100% they all are great. Bitches Broken Hearts owns my soul.
&burn is a rap remix of watch so yeah it’s watch but a rap version that’s suitable for Vince Staples

Since you’re done with all of Billie’s albums will you react to Finneas’ EP Blood Harmony? Unless you’ve already heard it.
