i would help but i already subbed
@@bigtimebusinessman8978 then you’re already helping and very appreciated!
Did u hear the screams during happier than ever song?
Please review Portishead S.O.S. single.
If you want hit 300k react to Maneskin. The best rock band in the world at the moment. They won Eurovision Song Contest and they are 14th in Spotify. 50M of listening a month. You won’t regret.
Best. Reaction. To. The. Best. Song. On. An. Album. Ever.
Happier than ever deserved that kind of uninterrupted reaction.
100% I LOVED this reaction. So honest. But all his reactions are 👍🏻
@@DanielleFromMI definitely
Check out HTHAZE's reaction as well (I came here from that) it's amazing 😂
@@idontwantahandle212 omg i love him he’s so funny
I watched a lot of reactions but his made me sing it to him and cry while doing so. I always come back to his channel, he’s so valid.
so we can all collectively agree happier than ever is one of (if not the best) billie song to date
It definitely is
**Oxytocin was found dead in the parking lot**
it is her best song
It really is!
Every single time I listen I get emotional at the start and lose my shit when it kicks in
Happier Than Ever might just be Billie’s best song ever
MCR rip off…..
as a fan of hers for 3 years, i agree omg
Frrrrr
@@truboss9470 how?
@@truboss9470 😐
This is the type of music that she is so good at. Her last album was fun, but this lane of music is definitely where she excels.
Her brother Finneas is one of the best producers in the world, and they have already taken over the whole pop industry together
Mmm no
@@fran-yv1xc hmmmmm yes
@@benwright3061 nah, her first 2 albums >>
@@fran-yv1xc that's your opinion, and it's shit
@@fran-yv1xc why do u even have her as ur pfp then local 😭 also don’t smile at me isn’t even an album
not that age is EVER a barometer for talent & level of maturity & complexity of content but i truly am blown by the fact that billie & finneas can release music with such genius under the age of 25 like WHAT?? it’s so freakin impressive, this duo has something so special
@Sandy Gan 71? Damn
@Sandy Gan you are awesome! let’s gooo 71
@Sandy Gan yes we love having Grandma fans in our Billie fandom.
power of being synesthetic 🥰
@Sandy Gan I’m 54 and all in. And I really liked Billie as a person before I became a fan of her music. Bad Guy reeled me in and then I started watching some of her live stuff on RUclips and realized that she is so much more than what you see. She’s got a very eclectic and diverse taste and music knowledge. I give a lot of credit to her and Finneas ‘ parents for taking the road that was best for their children. Homeschooling not just for personal reasons but so that they could encourage and help them cultivate their interests and obvious talents… on their own terms.
Thanks for not cutting the title track. A spectacular masterpiece coming out of nowhere 💯

She said she didn't wanna end the album on a bad note (HTE) so she closed with Male Fantasy but Happier is the best album closer I've heard outside of Angel by Abel
Listen to punisher by phoebe bridgers
@@youareasock9752 listening now
@@youareasock9752 definitely my kind of vibe. Thanks for this!
@@brianattyberry nice youll like the outro song
@@youareasock9752 listening to Moon Song at the moment. I'll listen to the outro next
Her best work to date. Showed a wonderful amount of maturity both lyrically, vocally and in production. Her range in vocal styles has genuinely doubled since what we last heard and it's fucking impressive because vocals was always the part of Billie I liked the most so the fact she could have so much in her bag we didn't know about is fucked. The lyrics I really can't say much about. Just absolutely fucking beautiful. The production is insane, it pulls from so many different avenues and yet still keeps the same Billie/Fineas style that has become their signature. Great album.
it’s her second one 😳
@@ulyxie I know. Fucking scary how good she is at such a young age...
despite overheated’s serious theme, song is a bop. my favorite one
Same❤️
@@mateonelson3862 tbf the first time i heard billie sing in dont smile at me i thought it was lana
thats my least favorite song :(
It’s not my favorite on the album, but it’s definitely up there. It’s so hypnotic to me, It’d be so perfect for a night drive.
Overheated has that FKA twigs' LP1 vibe for some kind of reason, so I love it
this ones grown on me a ton, the one song that didn’t was the title track and that’s because i absolutely loved it on first listen
My top 3: Oxytocin, Happier Than Ever, and Everybody Dies. Oxytocin just does something to every nerve in my body. That gnarly beat. The grime. The sultry vocals. It's a VICIOUS track and I absolutely live for it. She's really growing into her own as a powerful young woman. Her creativity is beautiful and I feel so fortunate that we all get to hear and see it.
oxytocin is laced w somethin(no pun intended)
I think Goldwing is super underrated
@@augustsebastianaldo It definitely is
lol i feel like you or someone else wrote the same comment on another HTE reaction vid..
@@jasmingolcer352 yaaaaa I have the same feeling about the songs but I love the reactions so it’s easier to copy paste my own comment 🥰🥰 HAPPY BILLIE SEASON YALL~
This was THE reaction. No other video matters. The song is just pure EMOTION. I love reactions because I get to relive things through other people and share their joy. This was exactly that. Thank you for letting me feel it again. ❤️
I love your reaction here. I think she oftentimes gets misinterpreted because people don’t take the time to get to know her and where her lyrics come from. It’s refreshing to hear someone actual take a moment to comprehend the lyrics and her experiences.
Literally everyone says the “GOLDWING” intro sounds like church, but I more so hear classic disney songs from the 50s-60s. The remix with the GOLDWING notes reminds me a lot of the RUclipsr POGO who really likes to take Disney and remix it.
Yes I hear that too
my first thoughts when hearing it
halley’s comet is my favorite, i have no words to express it, it brings me to another world
It's amazing. When I first listened to halley's commet I didn't know it would be my most played song
Have you heard of Bruno Major? His music sounds a lot like Halley's comet and it was one of the first things I noticed about that song! I would HIGHLY recommend his music
And the last part is the fkin best
This album feels a lot more accomplished like you said, it is more genuine with the storytelling, the production has been nearly mastered. Their risks in the sound paid off a lot more than the first album. Billie explores different vocal abilities. Great review!
I don’t get when people say she explored new vocal abilities. She sings the same on the whole album besides the screaming in the title track. Can you elaborate?
@@TanCarvajal how do you figure? I honestly don’t get this assumption that she just whisper sings through EVERY songs. Her delivery on everybody dies is a lot different than the fast talking on overheated or her jazz style tones on lost cause. Her falsetto and head voice in male fantasy is different then her falsetto in Oxytocin. Her choir like harmonies on Goldwing is something she’s never experimented with. Finneas using auto tune as a stylistic choice is something they’ve only done once before this. And yeah like you mentioned she sings completely differently on HTE also.
@@Noxtrust you made all of the points and I’d like to thank you for that
@@Noxtrust couldn't have said it better my self
a lot of ppl dismissed the first part of the "happier than ever" song and that didn't sit right with me, coz it was PHENOMENAL !!! soooooo glad to see that you agree !!!! your reaction was SUPERB !!! thank you for uploading !
I’m stunned at just how good those last two songs were alone. Vocally she is insanely talented and really showcased it on this album.
Getting Older & Everybody Dies feel like a warm hug
I wish you liked Bossa Nova more than you did. That Brazilian vibe sultry is amazing.
It's one of the favorite tracks of brazilian listeners, she truly did the genre justice! As an mpb fan I sure hope this inspires other artists around the world to try it too, Billie did it perfectly.
@@heyitsmira17 what's mpb?
@@brianattyberry it’s popular brazilian music
@@brianattyberry "música popular brasileira", which literally would mean "brazilian pop music", but just like funk, it has a very specific sound it refers to when it comes to Brazil. Really recommend you to check some classics! If I'm not mistaken, Billie had a Tim Maia LP at her home as a kid (saw a screenshot of her documentary), wouldn't be surprised to know he was one of her influences.
Hello from Brasil bro!!
This album was fantastic!! Definitely one of my favourite albums of the year so far
GOLDWING, Oxytocin, OverHeated, Everybody Dies, & Happier Than Ever are my top 5 (no paticular order) but this whole album is amazing.
Still love the hell outta my future though, I already have nostalgia for that song.
Your reaction to happier than ever made me emotional, my wife even looked up to see if I was ok. The sheer shock and the amazed glassy eyes and overwhelm. Yep
Everybody dies hits you right in the heart, makes you feel sad, but, gosh, i love that sadness this song gives you. One of the best songs she has ever made for sure. Love it!
It's my favorite song on this album so far
YOUR REACTS NEVER DISAPPOINTS thank you so much for this video... See you emotional over the songs is priceless 💖
Your reaction to ‘happier than ever’ was as exciting to watch as the first time I heard it! Was so glad You stuck it out and played the entire song. It’s a masterpiece. Thank you Jon
you always make me enjoy the albums you react to even more, and it makes me feel better that you also enjoy this specific album. the title track might be my personal favorite track of the year and you're my security blanket jon, thank you for doing what you do:)
Was hoping you'd do this one! Love your reaction and I love all of the musical references you noted, I didn't spot a lot of them and you're so right.
I wasn't a superfan before but after listening to the title track I think there's no going back , it blew me the hell away. Emotionally and musically
YOUR REACTION TO HAPPIER THAN EVER WAS PERFECTTTT❤ that song surprised me so much!!! I'm so proud of billie omg
Great commentary as always, Jon. This is definitely one of my favorite albums of the year so far. I had very high expectations coming into the album, but Billie met those expectations and then some. It really does feel like Bille just keeps getting better and better over time. I can't wait to see what she does next.
Song of the year, album of the year- Happier than ever.
Record of the year!😭❤
Evermore is a tough contender😭
definitely
For sure
It always makes me so happy when reactors don't pause songs half way through and they just enjoy the music as a whole instead of cutting it up. I'm aware that most do it for copyright but I personally would prefer to just see the song edited cropped so that the person filming the video gets to experience the song as a whole. So thank you for doing that with happier than ever, it was wonderful to see your reaction and how passionate about music you are as a whole!
I was waiting only for your reaction, Jon!
Thank you very much, you’re the king of reactions for music industry
I had my doubts with the singles but the album turned out amazing as a whole !!! Loved it soooo much , Billie never disappoints💜
this album is absolutely fantastic for me, i loved this project start to finish, one of the best albums ive ever listen to, production and vocals were straight fireeee
Thank you! Finally I was waiting for your reaction!!
Been waiting for this thx
you’re honestly the only one who i can watch full album reactions from. i usually just go to comments for time stamps in other videos 💀
I can’t wait to see these songs live in February! It’s going to be fucking brilliant!
Was waiting for this!
"Happier than ever" always make me F**in cry😭😭... That rage 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Billie expanded her sound so much on this album- it may not sound apparent on the singles but on songs like overheated and happier than ever, it blends so many new elements that I really didn’t expect from her. I’m so glad I was able to witness it though, she’s taken her talent to a whole new level. Happier than ever is definitely soty material
Yesss was looking forward towards your reaction!
I relate to every second of your reaction to the title track, I knew that song would be the best even before the album dropped
Oxytoooociiiiiin!!!! I am glad you mentioned NIN. The first time I heard that song I thought Trent Reznor stopped by. What a superb track.
thank you for leaving the title track reaction uncut jon. your reaction was beautiful
This is lit and all don't get me wrong but I have 4 words for you: "The Dawn is Coming"
his reaction to the teaser got blocked
I loved the album more each time I listened to it all the way through there are so many things that you can notice later on with lyrics or production
yeees! i couldn't wait for your reaction to the album!
Great reaction as always, love you Jon!
Awesome reaction was waiting for this one
I didn’t think about Portishead for the second track initially, but you’re so right about that. If Billie Eilish and Finneas could bring trip-hop back, I would LOVE that, and I know they could do it well.
Love ur reactions So I was so sad you didn't feel the power of the last song. It was stunning, showed all her feelings, so vulnerable and revealing. Powerful after the title song's strength.
Also Jon !! The dawn is coming... i'm so excitedd to see ur reaction more than the album itself hahaha
Your reaction to happier than ever the song,is immaculate beautiful
Amazing album. So hard to follow up after the first won every award ever, but I think they've done it. Loved it at first listen and it's grown on me even more since.
I swear the industry and media better not break this fucking gem of an artist. Don't screw up the privilege we all have to see the art she and Phineas can breathe into existance for the next 10, 20, 30 years.
The part at 9:19 is SUUUUCH a classic finneas piano sequence. If there’s one thing you can always tell finneas produced, it’s the piano. Not to say he just does the same exact thing over and over but it always has that similar arrangement & sounds beautiful. Also your face at 19:14 when you thought the song ended but the guitar was strumming again made me almost choke on my food cuz I was like LOL just wait for what’s coming 🥲 I wouldn’t say this was AOTY, and this album was pretty hit or miss for me but HTE just… rocked my world. The first half where it’s soft & pretty brings tears to my eyes and then the ID NEVER TREAT ME THIS SHITTY, YOU MADE ME HATE THIS CITY! Made me feel so powerful
The respect for happier than ever, you didn't skip you soaked in it. That's what got me to subscribe. The song is literal perfection. Bliss to listen to
I still get chills at the switch up each time. Just an amazing song
This is officially my second favorite album of all time. I listened to it in one sitting when it released, totally stoned with earphones in, and it was an insane experience, because I had zero expectations. I've loved Billie's previous work but this one really resonated with and surprised me. I'm a massive fan of alt/rock, jazz, blues, and this album is full of those influences. I got tinges of Amy Winehouse, Nine Inch Nails, The Beatles, Nirvana, among some others, but Billie's voice and biting lyricism is entirely unique. On top of all that, Finneas's production is fucking immaculate. Since my first time, I've listened to it a dozen times both on vinyl and through speakers and god, I'll never tire of it. Not a single skip on the entire album, for me!
I love your reactions!!! Goosebumps without knowing why:)
YES thank you for noticing the downward spiral style to oxytocin!!!! i’ve BEEN saying this! that’s why i LOVE it 🤍
10/10 album of the year, they are an unstoppable duo. The level of talent is incredible
what an album man
21:49 YAAAAAAS KINGGGGG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS !!!! THIS IS IN FACT AOTY AND SOTY !!! PERIODDDTTTTTTTTT
AHHH ive been waiting for this
YEEEESSSS, JD!!! Enjoyed this video reaction so much. Until now its been a lot of reactions by people with limited (mostly pop) music knowledge.
Weirdly, i think this album is currently underrated. A little ahead of its time and too mature for the tween& under category. Billie is a mainstream anomaly & I hope she keeps blasting holes in the manufactured "disney" acts that clog up pop culture.
i love music reviewers who actually listen to the lyrics, thank u!!
thanks for leaving the entire reaction to 'Happier Than Ever' 😁
I come back to this video every time I want to enjoy this album like I did the first time I ever heard it
Hey Jon, great vid as always, Billie's definitely adapting to Finneas' production styles better than ever. Waiting on Friday tho jheez 🔥
P.S. small typo in description box with Eilis hreturns if you wanted to fix that cause I know you're on that perfection grind ahaha love from London east
I can't get enough of your reaction videos omg.
it’s really kind of you for putting the uncut reaction to the title track here. watching that is an experience.
Been waiting for this video to drop since the album came out
Watching you react to the track Happier Than Ever made me feel like it was my first time listening all over again. Incredible.
And just FYI it's her third album
2017 dont smile at me
2019 WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
2021 Happier Than Ever
Me vibing with jon. The ad: “DO YOU WANT FIND YOURE DREAM VAKATION” got damn that facked up the moment
You can tell that the sheer amount of pressure, fame and criticism she has experienced so quickly has forced her to be mature and I think that shows in her songwriting, so self aware. Not that age determines talent, but experience can, and I can only imagine where her songwriting goes as she her career progresses
Just give Billie and Finneas record of the year for happier than ever now, it’s over
Everybody dies is such a masterpiece of a song it chokes me up every time I hear it
Jon knew what we were here for and delivered.
Thanks for your reaction/review. I think Billie & FINNEAS were also saying with the "Happier Than Ever" track - the 2nd half, if we wanted to do the kind of music that goes big on the charts, we could/we can. They hear music differently than most people, including other artists and they will be true to how they hear it. Can you imagine if they put out an album of that kind of music - I mean the kind in the 2nd half of "Happier Than Ever". I love the album, but "Happier Than Ever" - the track - is absolutely awesome, people now know she can sing big on more than one note in a song [ "No Time To Die" ] - not only that Billie completely lets loose and gives her all - everything. And FINNEAS - at times, he's almost a little mischievous, like towards the end of "I didn't change my number" - they are a dynamic duo.
this album surpassed my very high expectations. my favourite project by her, wow
i love that you compare Happier Than Ever with My Chemical Romance beacuse Billie is a big fan of them,and it does sound like that,it's the best description that i've ever heard of Happier Than Ever,i love it!
This album shows Billie’s transformation and maturity into womanhood. I’m here for it. 💙
The reaction of the year is here! Such a amazing album
Sonically and lyrically one of the albums of the year and she’s 19, Billie Eilish can be this generations Elvis, Beatles, Nirvana, just imagine the standard of a 30 year old Billie Eilish
i just hope pray and cross my fingers that she gets to thirty man i hope the people around her keep her safe always
i mean she didn’t even write most of this album so…let’s clap for finneas
@@walkm2794 surprisingly, his vocals are way less present this time around, and lyrics are more personal. Finneas is also a huge part of why Billie is able to be where she is, but at the end of the day, it's her voice that gets heard more (btw his solo work is underrated! He has a great voice and some bops of his own). It's clear that he doesn't mind and has always wanted to support her, so no sibling rivarly here fam :)
@@heyitsmira17 yeah but the production is the biggest strength of this album so I think Finneas deserves more credit
such a reach
*Can we all agree that's one of the best albums ever made, like if we won't say perfect, it's just so close, so wholesome and good*
When I first listened to the album I thought there were some mediocre songs but after watching so many reaction videos on it I can confidently say every song on that album is a banger even ones I thought I didn’t like, like NDA is now one of my favourites. Billie and phineas are geniuses
happier than ever was actually going to be the last song on the record, that’s why it has that end of a show vibes, but she wrote male fantasy last minute bc she didn’t want to end the album in bad terms :)
Astute review, mate. May I say that at 80 years old, this may be the best album I have ever heard, and I have heard everything.
The "Sergeant Pepper's" genius of the song Happier Than Ever ties the whole project into an artistic and sonic cohesiveness and, in my mind, garners another Album and Song of the year for Billie and Finneas. Not to mention the live shows and the Grammy performance that will likely occur. Billie Eilish is a vocal and artistic presence who will grace the music industry for years to come. Finneas is a force to be reckoned with on his own and will shape the industry's trajectory in untold ways. Hyperbole? I think not
Totally agree with everything you've said!
Funny you mention Sgt Pepper. I definitely got a Day in the Life feel from the chord progression during the transition in Happier Than Ever. Listen for it and you'll hear it. I wonder if it's a conscious quote.
The Beatles is a massive influence for both Billie and Finneas. But yeah, I absolutely agree.
Yes!!!! Been waiting for this!
Idk if aoty but Happier Than Ever is song of the year imo
That shit was crazy on first listen and it remains so on the 70th
Can we address how in NDA she mentioned the first four tracks at the beginning in the second verse. Brilliant 👏
Your reactions are the only ones that matter to me
Based on how people pick their fav song off this album, we can see they are all over the place. Even on repeated listens, I keep changing my mind about what's my top favs, which is a sign of a great album. I'm sure this project's down for the ages.
It blows my mind that Halley’s Comet was written by two people who weren’t even a twinkle in their parents’ eyes yet the last time it came around lol. These two are so talented and this is such a great album
