Jimmy was so much more authentic and open in this interview than normal. No weird interruptions or fake laughs. It was really nice. He’s a music nerd at heart.
Since coming back from the strike, he’s been more real. No canned laugh, no forced questions or compliments. His interview w/ Bobby Flay or Kelly Clarkson are perfect examples. But it’s tough, we get it. So many interviews, so many ppl. Truly I can’t stand too many compliments to someone, especially a celebrity. A couple, then move on.
He's only 'Real' towards the more famous celebs. You don't see that with the later guests.
You mean after that exposé, not after being validated by Chris Rock
no like quietest he’s ever been. it’s so sweet he really just wanted to hear Billie talk about this song! i love Jimmy though, how enthusiastic and giggly he is! i don’t see it as fake, i just see it as him trying to make ppl feel comfortable.
this is backhanded asf. he is always genuine
What Was I Made For is such a masterpiece and I can't wait for her next album!
I love your channel!!
Why do I see comments of you on every video lol
@@clementinecornic2173why do you care? Get a life
Is billie "gay"???
Anybody know?? For real???🤔🤔🤔
@@FLo-jc7igwhy do u care so much?
She is a lyrical genius, a beautiful person and so humble. Honored and blessed to be alive at the same time as her! Billie is incredible and I'm so proud of everything she has achieved xx
Well Finneas is more so the lyrical genius so lets add him in there also ✨ he works just as hard
I wouldn't say she is a lyrical genius, but she is a really, really good artist !!!!!
@@kendrashaaaano finneas is not more, they wrote together and actually Billie writes her songs more! They are all her ideas and she decides the composition, as he already said many times he just does what she wants to do with her music. She wrote many songs only by herself (her best lyrically). And she produces too!
In that Barbie song her credits:
Songwriter , composer, producer, vocal producer, lyricist , engineer and mixer. The only pop artist with more credits in her work overall 🥰 she is also nominated at the Grammys as director! She is also the youngest!
@@kendrashaaaashe is the artist and the brain! Just like Taylor, Lana, Lorde with Jack and their co partners! Probably you don’t even know other artists co songwriters/producers names but you are here with your misogynist comment against Billie HUGE work behind and plus from a woman 😅
The hypocrisy is insane!
@@Hakuna23 exactly, I didn't mean Finneas isn't just as amazing, but Billie herself said she writes from personal experience and writes exactly what she feels which is why I commented what i did. She is incredible and so is her brother. They are both amazing and because she was in the interview talking about this song i wanted to support her and everyhting she has been thru and shared with the world! I appreciate you seeing my perspective because I didn't mean for people to be offended by my support of her as the incredible artist she is x
hear me out! she is gonna win her second Oscar for this song, not only its perfect for the films narrative but its also relatable to almost everyone. She is gonna win!!! or AT LEAST nominated
If there is any fairness in the world it will win the academy award and the Grammys, because it is one of the most moving and lyrically brilliant songs I've ever heard
She’s already nominated
for a golden globe yes for an Oscar mot yet @@liz-oi9dp
Sorry but dua lipa's dance the night is much better
@@jamshedmurtazaev3303 she ain’t getting no Grammy
This new album is going to shake the internet.
*the world
I’ve never been more ready for an album.
Can’t wait.
@@eglovesmusicthe universe*
Literally
Billie is one of the most humble celebrities out here and I love seeing her everywhere
I think her humility maybe comes from being Los Angeles - she’s been around this her whole life maybe just doesn’t seem as big of a deal
Like Dolly loves her wigs I would love to see her sing with Dolly they both are genuine gals thru & thru
That's why I love billie. She doesn't act like a celebrity. She acts like a normal every day person.
@@yeahiprotest most celebrities come from LA and they are not like this, they are not humble at all.. actually it’s quite the opposite 💀 Billie just chose not to change herself because of the fame she doesn't care and believe in that world, and bullshit.. her family has always lived with humility and her mother still recording with her phone everything that she does every day as if it were the first time she is famous, they live like this... fully... as if fame and success could disappear tomorrow despite she is the 2nd best selling female artist globally since 2019 and on top for 6 years .. they live like that ❤️
I wish she'd dress more like a young lady!! I've heard she's insecure about her body, and I just can't understand what's wrong with her lovely body!! She looked so "cute" in her music video in that cute yellow dress. That was the "first time" I saw her figure!!! So insecure!!!💔
Words cannot explain what "what was I made for" did for me. I turned 18 a month after it came out and the very first time I heard it this sense of "Im gonna be okay came over me." It's definitely the perfect song for my senior year.
Hey , hope you're doing ok. Life is really complicated and most people can't really answer the big questions. If I could tell my younger self something...it would be to not fixate on the negative voices in my head. I would be kinder to myself and become my own best friend, instead of trying to impress and please the 'outside' world. ❤
What was I made for...you was made to have a relationship with our Creator and Heavenly Father God and his son Jesus Christ, accept him for eternal life in Heaven.
@@GloryDaze73 just seeing this… thank you so much🥰
Billie and Finneas,best duo artists of this generation,Billie’s lyrics have shocked me so many times,she’s a poet in her own way.
Absolutely ❤
So you're saying this generation is - boring and predictable, no imagination, with bad hair. Id say your probaly correct there.
@@decibellone696 How empty is your life that you’re posting multiple comments here about how you find something that a 22-year-old is doing boring? Maybe find something that you DO like and put your energy into that.
That talent comes from her mother, who is a teacher. Her father read for kids every night and the mother made them write every day,
What I love about this girl is that she's not hyper-sexualised. It's all about her music and talent. I wish she was around when I was a teen
Warlocks.. glimpse. Iykyk.
Because her label doesn't own her.
I think it’s so important for girls and women to express themselves without so much judgment. We put women in a box of what is “acceptable” and shame anyone who doesn’t “behave.” So the problem is larger than you’re expressing and while agree different kinds of accepted expressions are helpful, the notion there is a “good” and a “bad” way for girls and women to be is not the way. Let’s widen their belief in and acceptance of themselves.
Shes the SAME music as everybody else today - without the sexuality (and really bad hair). So you're head likes boring music with nothing to look at as oppose to boring music with something to look at? apparently someone knows something about marketing to m~orons that I dont.
Trust in Jesus, Hell is real and eternal! This is what the Bible says about it..
"The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13: 41-42
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the father but by me." John 14:6 Ask God to reveal this to you- He will!
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. We've all broken God's laws and ten commandments.. "Thou shalt not lie, steal, covet, dishonor parents, take God's name in vain.."(Exodus 20) We do not have righteousness on our own to get to heaven, "God made him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Cor. 5:21 Godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. God is deadly serious about sin, when we genuinely repent we hate sin just as God hates it, and we turn away from it.
"But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. He saves us from sin and hell and brings us into a relationship with him. We become God's children. We are saved from hell, eternal death.
"For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
Read the Bible, Walk with the Lord and give your life to Him!
That was such a vibe, the energy and excitement 😂 Billie and Finneas are genius, paired with Greta Gerwig and their incredible script, this is a masterpiece
The Greta Gerwig impression is so good. I've never heard anyone do a Greta but Billie really hit the nuances 😂
Not just Greta, she basically condensed all of Mumblecore into a 5-second impression.
Billie's authenticity is captivating. I hope the hard knocks of growing older do not temper her fire. She has the same energy, charm and affect of Cher.
Great she'll turn into a plastic doll like cher or barbie
I was holding back tears throughout this entire interview. The sincerity of Jimmy touched me in a very unexpected way. And Billie's response - this conversation feels like coming home. Like we're all friends after all, like we're all the same, just as Billie described
Yeh I got 90s vibes from billies personality. Back when the world was a bit more anxious free
What was I made for...you was made to have a relationship with our Creator and Heavenly Father God and his son Jesus Christ, accept him for eternal life in Heaven.
I'm 29 years old and this is the first a song touch me so deep that every time I listen to it I will break in tear, the song describes my life so perfectly. Thank you so much BE for this ! You did an amazing job. Is like a gift for many people that struggle in life. Thanks again, may God bless you girl!
i had the same exact experience as jimmy. i listened to the album before the movie. when her song came on, i could not stop shaking my head as in “no fucking way.”
it was so fucking perfect.
Ugh seeing her talk all about it so passionately is so sweet she’s so cute omg
Billie crossing her legs on the couch is so wholesome of her
Its not that serious😂
That's part of her persona and interaction with the world. It's on her own terms. She hates cameras zooming close into young girls bodies.
the fact that she has gotten so many nominations for what was i made for with no album being dropped…. so many nominations for a single… that is absolutely insane. she is so talented and has come so far. her and finneas are such a great music and sibling duo 🩷
No they are 5 Grammy nominations for that song, (1 as director of her music video) , 1 Golden globe and 1 critics choice award. And then other less important nominations. 18 are overall for Barbie movie not for this song 😅
That almost never happens
She’s prob gonna win her second Oscar for it
Songs for movies don't need to be in albums to be nominated because they have special categories at these awards, they're not just singles
This song did not get 18 nominations. Spreading misinformation on the Internet should result in a hefty fine.
You can tell which guests Jimmy loves when he mimics them lol he luvs her
Love how she still sits like this during these interviews 😂❤️
its not rude in the US to put the soles of your dirty shoes on someones couch without asking? Its a cute pose but its kinda inconsiderate to me
@@PersisP it is not somebody’s real couch and her soles are probably not dirty so I don’t think it matters
and chewing gum all the interview witth such elegance and class….oh dear
Each people have their own manners, which doesn't need to be judged as long as it never hurt other people
shut up white woman@@Cesarsanvicente
she said her music inspiration for the third album are mazzy star, radiohead, dominic fike and bloody valentine…. be3 is going to shock so many of us. i think it will be the grown up version of when we all fall asleep where do we go
Wooow this sounds great, thanks for sharing ❤
I am so sososoosossooooo Exciteddddd to see Billie's new album, i know she really put hard work, tears, blood and a lot of talent and passion into it, i swear im loving it already
What was I made for....you was made to have a relationship with our Creator, Heavenly Father God and his son Jesus Christ, accept them for eternal life in Heaven.
She's so naturally great and talented
I love this girl. Billie has always been an inspiration to me, ever since her first song came out. I am 13 years old, and have already been through a tough journey. I listen to Billie every single night when I can’t sleep or feel alone, and she makes me so happy. I went to her concert I’m 2022-ish and I was crying the whole time. I am so excited for her new album to come out. I can’t wait to see her in 2024. I love you Billie!!
She talks like a legit person like someone you know at work or school. Just very real
she writes her own stuff and its fantastic. A rare breed these days in the popular music industry
I haven't seen Billie this animated and relaxed and happy during an interview in a long time Knowing that they love what they do. It’s so wild that Billie can just randomly hola jimmy hola billie te amooo❤🩹
I did the same, listened to the song first, watched the movie, soundtrack building to that moment so hard not to cry. I liked the song so much I did a choir solo singing it last week.
I'm so proud of her, she's my all days motivation 💓
What was I made for ....you was made to have a relationship with our Creator, Heavenly Father God, and his son Jesus Christ, accept him for eternal life in Heaven.
She's very charismatic; very intelligent, dresses casual which is cool, & what a beautiful voice & face. Whoa! 😮
I didn't know how much I missed her smile and voice till now
This song resonates with me for various reasons at the moment. Unfortunately, sad ones, but I'm trying to find the light.
That greta gerwig impression was so spot on
The Billie-Finneas combination is generational song-writing talent. Her vocals and caring personality is why she can sell out arenas.
THIS WOMAN KEEPS GETTING MORE PRETTY BY THE MINUTEEEE
Second
This song was eye opening. Thank you, Billie and Finneas. Thank you too, Jimmy. I love the show. 💙✨️
This is how Avril Lavigne used to sit in these sorts of shows when she was younger and I love it because it shows the spirit of calmness and excitement at the same time.
Aw true. Billie has referenced her in her fashion as well with ties.
She hates those chairs .. I remember one time she said they are all the same and they are all uncomfortable😂
every girl and woman is inspired by avrilll ...
Billie Eilish is one of THE most impressive talents to come along. She and her brother comprise a formidable writing team and she is one of the most interesting and original vocal talents I've heard in a very long time. And it's so nice to see her here as a 21 year old having fun and laughingly living a best life. So much more relateable than so much of her public image as an alienated, vaguely pissed off young Gen Z'er. I think the best is yet to come for this young artist. Which is saying something considering what she's already accomplished. At 22!
I love Billie. She’s such a beautiful songwriter. She’s also so cute and just so sweet and young lol🩷🩷the song is beautiful
What was I made for...you was made to have a relationship with our Creator, Heavenly Father God, and his son Jesus Christ, accept him for eternal life in Heaven.
You can tell she truly loves her work that’s what I love about an artist the passion!!!❤
I love seeing her!! And her song has to win the academy award and Grammys. It's beyond brilliant. I cry every time I hear it
Sorry Grammy dua lipa has to win she had one of the incredible song much more better than Billie's
Same! It gives me the feels each time.
@@jamshedmurtazaev3303nah, wwimf is better
What was I made for...you was made to have a relationship with our Creator, Heavenly Father God and his son Jesus Christ, accept him for eternal life in Heaven.
I was actually bawling when the scene started and I could not stop the tears from going down my face… I couldn’t breathe… I saw it at the theater so it was intense and perfect. It actually took me to a place in my soul and being that I never knew existed. That “white abyss with the song hit me that hard. It really was an incredible moment ….altering the depths of my heart and soul. Thank you Billie and the “white abyss” in the movie. I learned something new about myself in those minutes.
Whatever your view on Billie and her music, the vocal technique she uses on What Was I Made For is super difficult, personally I really like what she and her Brother make, the boundaries of vocal technique and production are always pushed and it is a real breath of fresh air that they are working in the music industry.
Billie nailed it with the Barbie song it sounds fresh and so on point of the theme ❤
Well, her brother did , seeing as he like you know...write the songs...
I can’t wait for a new album from her!
When will it come out?
Same. Maybe next year? Can’t believe it’s going on 3 years since her last album
@@jhales313 2024?
@@tylerz5499 that’s my guess.
Everyone makes fun of me because I’m such a huge Billie fan. They did the same thing to me fifteen years ago when I was a huge GaGa fan. I love them both and they are icons! I’m old and not of their generations,but talent is talent!
Hands down this masterpiece merits an Oscar! This fabulous song is haunting and melancholic and is very reminiscent to Dionne Warwick / Kd lang's classic "Valley Of the Dolls" which is also theme song to the movie of the same name. Kudos to Billie!
Billie Eillish. Unique in every way.
Jimmy is so sweet in this clip, you can see his genuine awe for her and the song xx
Her impressions are insane
Man that Greta Gerwig impression was perfect LOL.
Dang! I didn't know I could *still* cry over that song! I'm with Jimmy on this -- such an emotional chord that Finneas and Billie struck. Great interview!
when she said: "we are almost done with this album"
me holding back my screams, cause everyone in my house is sleeping😂
She has the most beautiful energy.
she is so genuine I love that so much about her down to earth she is and she special!
What was I made for.....you was made by our Creator, Heavenly God and his son Jesus Christ to have a relationship with them and a choice for eternal life in Heaven.
I’ve been the entire week thinking there’ll be a surprise release or something because she was announced as the musical guest in SNL 😭 Like I knew she would for sure sing What Was I Made For? with the awards campaign for Barbie going on, but the musical guests ALWAYS plays two songs… what else is she going to perform ?!?! There’s no other song from a different project that she could play, Happier Than Ever came out more than a year ago and she already performed songs to promote it on snl.. maybe she could do something from the guitar songs like TV ?! I don’t know but excited for saturday
I love how this supremely talented Artist decided to establish wear whatever the heck she wants to and make her music the focus of our attention. Brava!❤
Billie is the best young singer .she is so calming and soothing and she is just amazing ,❤️
Great job Billie. I hadn't listened to Billie before the pandemic and I haven't even gotten around to all her music yet. She's so great and I'm happy I stopped being judgy and weird and listened to a great singer and writer.
her outfit is giving Tyler the Creator i love it!! her style is so unique and cool. she is such a cool fashion icon
We love you Billie! 💘🥹
I love this woman and her music. Like, I can't just listen to her songs. Her lyrics and music make my heart, my whole body shrink. Like, i feel it go through me, and, it is such a powerful feeling that I can't deal with it all the time. I would have to listen to hear and ignore the pain to become less sensitive to her music. And I don't want to. I want to feel how her music makes me feel everytime, even if it means to listen to her only when I feel I can handle it
Billie Eilish is a class act. She and her brother, both.
Billie nailed the expression of greta gerwig it’s awesome
She deserves the Oscar❤
Finally someone said exactly how I felt in the theatre watching barbie, bro it's literally something, the way I tried so hard to hold my fucking tear cause I don't wanna cry in front of others, To be honest I just stood in the theatre until the very end of the song, everyone left and the people working over there was waiting for me to leave and my sister and her boyfriend was telling me to come but I didn't care 🥲😅
I smiled ear to ear that whole interview!!!
Can’t wait for what she has in store for the third album ❤
i can’t believe i saw her live, she is truly amazing
This song is such a masterpiece it’s so beautifully written and sung , she sounds like an angel . I suffer with bad anxiety and I feel this string really stuck a chord with me it makes me cry everytime and I feel it really resonate with me it’s like she was saying how I was feeing also
Thank you jimmy for invite billie on tonight love her such a cool interview.what was i made for was definitely the best song of year so happy it was nominated so heartfelt well deserved her ,and fineas are legendary duo so talented, and are phenomenal artist i cant wait for her next albums to come her explaining every detail i love this 🤩❤.
What I was made for.....you was made by God our creator and Heavenly Father, and his son Jesus Christ to have an relationship with them and eternal life in Heaven if you accept them.
She deserve to win ALL the awards! Specially the Oscar again and Record of the Year at the Grammys
i cannot get enough of her 💗
This song is so unexpected in many ways, like the movie was. Beautiful!💗
Billie is the most interesting and real person to sweep the mainstream.
We love billie eilish and jimmy fallon
I love seeing Billie Eilish with that beautiful big smile. The song is perfect. Well deserved win for Billie and Finneas. I didn't watch Barbie or the Oscars, but am a forever fan of Billie.
this is how u know they actually are authentic and normal people this is chemistry, its not staged its just a nice back and forth.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!!😫🫶🏻 I love you so so much Billie❤️
Love her. Just an infectious personality.
I had no idea that it was written specifically for the Barbie movie all I know is I kept having to turn the station because her voice kept making me tear up like why tf am I crying 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love her she is so original and dope af! 💚Go Billie!
That energy in that video! REALLLLL!!! I WANT MORE!
Billi voice is God gifted not just her voice but i really love her personality ❤
Billie makes me so happy. Just watching her for less than 10 minutes made my day
She makes me wish l was young again. At 59 this is the first time l ever wanted to “go back there”. She’s just ….just. ❤
Same, well 61. She reminds me of how big and amazing artists like Prince, Whitney, and Michael were. She's an absolute superstar!❤🙋🏽♀️
BILLIE IS SO CHILL!
i just know she is sick of the same repetitive questions about what was i made for and the process of making it. but nonetheless it is a beautiful song but i’m so ready for the third album
What was I made for....you was made by our Creator, Heavenly Father God to have a relationship with Lord Jesus Christ, accept him to have eternal life.
My daughter has “what was I made for” tattooed on her
She LOVES Billie
Eye roll
Billie looks like Billie Eilish.. she looks gorgeous
After "no time to die" " six feet under " and some other
" What was I made for" has been my most favorite ❤️
I play it almost everyday
❤❤❤ Yea Billie Eilish! Believe this, I JUST saw one of your new songs/video yest!! How synchronicity plays a part..boom, there you were! You're a beautiful singer..love seeing and hearing new music from you AND JIMMY, I'm glad you has her on your show at this very moment ❤❤
I am so excited for their new album!! Billie and Finneas never disappoint.
This song might be the best and meaningful song to me. Thank you Billie & Finneas ily♡
After the whole experiencing Covid and trying to get back to a new normal and many losing loved ones and many now having to live with chronic illnesses,”Think I forgot how to be happy” hit me so hard. This is exactly the song the world needed to begin to heal. God bless Billie for giving us this beautiful gift.
She rocks coolest person ever xoxo
That Greta Gerwig impression was so good! 😆
I just watched Greta with James Cameron on Variety, which was awesome, and she did catch her vibe. I also watched the movie right after so I'm in a Barbie vibe right now.
🥰@@bothellkenmore
Her outfit is so Tyler coded omg I love her
Righttt
That song pulls at my heart everytime I hear it, just lk the 1st time . Everytime.
You are right Jimmie - it DID win Best Original Song Oscar - so deserved!
Yes it won grammy song of the year.
I love Billie so much 🥺😭
I can't wait for the new album! 😭
