    Just finishing the video and Sam gives such thoughtful commentary on things like this when he didn't even have to. Makes me wish he had some kind of commentary channel on other shit, like. Democratic Debate bingo with Sam. Sam reviews Friday Night Lights Season 1. Sam ranks the tracklist of Bastille's latest album. Sam's top 20 memes of the 2010's. I'd smash that subscribe button

    Sam @ 24:40: "I think she just thinks in colors."
    Billie has synesthesia (even made a museum exhibit that explores this), the definition of which is: "Synesthesia is a neurological condition that causes the brain to process data in the form of several senses at once. For example, a person with synesthesia may hear sounds while also seeing them as colorful swirls."

      Huh? Hard to think of a singer more unlikely to say "but she could" about referring to Whitney. Billie has such a limited vocal toolkit. To get any range she has to shift into a high head voice, not much range in her real voice.

      Some of us try. My almost 10 year old loves art, in all forms. Paint, water color, sculpture, drawing, make up. We buy her tons of art supplies. We just let her play. For her it's fun, but the artist is emerging. Her art teacher at school is amazing at teaching art mediums and styles so she comes home and plays around with what she's learned. Even if she never does anything else with art when she gets older, we feel like it's an amazing outlet to express herself so if she needs more paint, she's going to get it.

      @@kayarnold3151 That's awesome! Kudos to you for the supportive parenting :)
      Good thing is, even if she doesn't make a career out of, say, painting, I believe it's important to be in touch with some form of art you enjoy.
      Drawing, and similar forms of artistic expression, are too often associated with childhood, and given less value as we grow up (since they're not productive, in the most conservative kind of way). More adults could use being more child-like, if that is the case. I believe it helps in keeping us more human :)
      Sorry if that was a bit long or seemed to go in a weird direction!
      It's just that I feel grateful, as a 31 years old that only now has decided to try to make a living out of my art. Even if I avoided turning my hobby into a job for a really long time, my parents were supportive and that allowed me to have this career option right now.
      Keep nurturing creativity :)

      mine kinda tried too, my mom wouldn't quit drinking so i could take lessons in anything though. so i got tap shoes and tapped around my garage until i realized no classes were coming. got a guitar and a music book, and after a year of telling them i couldn't read it my mom got mad when she found it in the bottom of my closet. well where'd you think it would end up
      we lived by a dance studio with a gymnastics gym across the street from that, and a music store attached to our grocery store did lessons so we were actually pretty well set up with options. my parents had a REALLY active kid. and then they kept that kid out of all sports, all extracurriculars, and wondered why the grades went from As to Ds and i barely managed to graduate.
      if i have kids, i don't want to try to make life's struggles disappear for them. but it hasn't made my fiance homeless or ruined his life to pay a couple hundred $$ per year so his daughter has activities. my mom always said, "you won't go and i'm not paying all that money for nothing." but she never tried letting me go to anything. this girl is like the biggest potato in the world, if you watch her at home you wouldn't guess how much stuff she's in at school. but she WANTS to do that stuff, and i tried explaining the same thing. i'm 2x this kid's age and i still get it, idgaf. you don't want to put dishes away. at any age, tbh. but a sport you're good at? and you have people who like you there and there's no dishes and there might be snacks? school activities were the best :'(
      i was such an outcast and i still had fun when i did field trips and the few things i actually got to show up for so i think high school might've actually been at least 80% less terrible if i'd been allowed to do things. like my mom just wanted me to follow her around silently all day gtfo

      But I'm glad that it didn't turn into resentment, in the sense that you know you wouldn't wish that on other kids. That's a wonderful attitude to have! :) It seems like you have chosen a great partner, as well 😊
      If you don't mind me asking, as well, are you doing any activities now? Like playing an instrument or taking any lessons you want. Even if you weren't allowed to before, it's always good to know that it's never too late to start doing what you want c:

      My son played a video game he found online several years ago, with the main point of the game being able to insert and immerse yourself into a digital persona mimicking (as much as possible) what perception is like for someone living with synesthesia as their norm.
      He said the game was crazy & fckd with his head, but he loved it and it changed his approach & perspective regarding a lot of everyday things.

    Billie is living in a moment and is at an age where her singing is entirely a reaction of how she feels. You nailed it when you said she doesn’t for a moment think about technique. As she gets older, lives a bit and sees more of the world, her feelings towards singing will inevitably change. Hopefully she explores her capabilities sooner rather than later though....Oh and James killed it AGAIN.

    I’m not a singer, I’m an ESL teacher and in a very strange way I find this specific video helpful with jaw movements and sounds we make. I sometimes struggle with teaching pronunciation to different foreign students. I can’t explain how exactly, but Sam’s explanation about jaw movements, balance of air and muscles made so much sense now I wanna sit down and write down a new lesson plan based on the diversity of people’s jaw movements! I don’t think I’m making sense, but this was very inspiring.

Do it again louder Mariah” andddd push play

    And to make one thing clear: I am not the huge Billie Eilish fan (but I have come to appreciate her more and more and can really relate to everything you say about her!) - and the second thing: I thought you made my year with you reacting to Pearl Jam / Eddie Vedder! But hey, we have 2020 now ;-)

    Sam thank you so much for that section about writing music. I've struggled for so long getting started because I have so many emotions and ideas I want to voice and no technique to trust, so I never finish writing any songs. And hearing you voice those ideas so clearly made it click for me. I'm going to start writing some basic ass songs so I can trust myself and let the songs I care about flow. So I can just have fun with it like I used to and not worry about getting it 'right.' Thank you.

    I love how she was just "allowed" to keep making music by her parents. She wasn't made to feel guilty, she wasn't embarrassed by her parents, she wasn't scolded. Was just allowed free reign to explore and keep trying and enjoying and growing as an artist and as a person. I've never heard of that before, even among other kids whose parents encouraged their music careers. Certainly, her family is the exact opposite of mine where my mom couldn't scold me and shut me down fast enough when I play a single note on the keyboard.

    Why I love Billie on another level:
    I sang before I walked when my mom would sing to me. I sang constantly and played with every instrument I could get my hands on. I am a born singer. It just is what it is.
    However, I was shut down by several people at 8 years old and only sang quietly and secretly. It want because I couldn’t sing and sing well. It was that one person wanted quiet around him at all times and another few people who made fun of the faces I unknowingly pulled while singing. 🤷🏻‍♀️
    I’m living vicariously through Billie & that makes me feel really good. Lol
    I’m 46 now and singing fully unabashed again... with COPD (dr says that singing could very well save my lungs from further damage and allow me a much longer life).
    Billie is such a refreshing example of personal art from deep within one’s being & art in general while remaining authentic. I can’t listen to any of her stuff without feeling compelled to keep fighting; fighting to gently get my full voice back, and fighting to save my life. I love her musical soul for that (and many other artists!).
    Damn that girl is amazing!!! Exactly what I needed at this point in my life.
    People often say they’ll go down swingin’.
    I, for one, will be going down singin’. 🤘🏻🥰

    I've come to really appreciate Billie as an artist. Her lyrics and aesthetic values are top shelf and she makes it readily apparent that the "limitations" apparent in her songs are a matter of choice, as you mentioned. A good example of why the idea of "good music is dead" being a supremely flawed concept; the best songs of previous generations are those who stood the test of time. We forget the ones who were awful at the time, and it's nice to have a reminder that the same gems exist in this generation too.

    I just don’t understand why people think everyone has to belt when they sing. Singing is like art, it’s all different but it’s still art. She has a beautiful voice, just the way it is. She was also in a choir as a young kid, so she’s had proper voice training. You don’t have to sound like everyone else to be classified as a great singer. To me, it’s just what’s pleasing to the ear.

    Shout out to their parents!! Seriously. I just barely watched an interview Phineas did with Zach Sang and I have SO much respect for them & their family dynamic. They were both home schooled and their parents moved their bed to the living room so they could use Phineas' to record & Billie could have her own room. I had the chills the whole time she was talking about her family. She seems so chill and humble. So grateful for them. It's funny hearing how this song was made, but you can tell the emotion of it being the catalyst for both of them, and I feel that she feels that. Definitely recommend watching that interview, if you haven't yet. He explains the ways they essentially are the perfect duo and family here to take over the industry. (My words, not theirs, of course.)

But listen to “wish you were gay” “the end of the world” or her cover of “bad.” She most definitely belts on each one of those songs. I actually enjoy that she’s not trying to blast us with her voice at 100 decibels like everyone else. She’s far from “one trick”

Yes, this makes me old and late to the party... But all I can say is, Thank Goodness my British shows were not on that night, so I ended up watching the AMA's! I had never seen Billie Eilish before nor seen any of her performances, but with-in the first few milli-moments of her performance of All The Good Girls Go to Hell, I deduced immediately that she was allowed to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING she EVER wanted to do her ENTIRE life and secondly, with rapid fire, I knew she had a mother and father who loved her beyond measure, for you cannot have that kind of rare talent without it! And, as I have learned later of such, it seems to have been true about her life! So a grand shout-out to the parents and her brother, indeed! Thanks to them for this gift and gem of Billie Eilish! I am hooked and no turning back!

    I absolutely love how you said she's reacting to what she's seeing and her singing is her reaction to that. Man, sometimes I just have a lot of feelings and I wish I had an outlet like her.

    First time I saw you having fun and party on one of your reactions. Good to see you smiling and truly enjoying stuff. Still a good, quality delivery, just like always. Thank you.

    I was really not a fan of Billie Eilish before this video, but the video made me really want to give her a try. She is so real and honest.

      Have a listen to some of her acoustic renditions of her songs. Incredible

    Discovered you tonight, and wow so helpful. What a beautiful thing their parents did allowing them to create art like that. I teared up with you. Can’t wait to watch more from you. Educational and very genuine.

    Ugh, I’ve never regretted following your videos for a second. Billie gives me this sense of hope for the creative industry I want to be in, and you are such a cool voice in that creative world for me. Love it, love it love it. Thanks for making content out here ❤️
