Stormzy needs his own interviewing show, this was incredible
Righttttt
For reaaaaaaaaal
Riiiggghhhtt.He's a pro❤
Sort your head out🤔
Would be to long the man takes the mins to get any words out
Stormzy's voice is like honey, he's so talented and thoughtful. Love Billie and this conversation.
I was thinking Tim from australia but whatever
@@ht-si1lr tim who
Actually, his voice is like velvet (Stormzy song reference 😉)
This is a great video

I am impressed with how Stormzy and Billie are both so well-spoken.
He says "like" every other word 😂
@@Ambuscade94 everyone says like and but in a sentence but he’s still well spoken
@@elisazouza no, not everyone says like every other word at all
@@elisazouza but it doesn't really matter i suppose, I get what you mean, I'm just having a bad day lol
‘so much well-spoken’🙄. Well that wasn’t the best use of English.
Can we talk about stormzy? He so underrated and incredible artist,the way he's taking to billie is so cute I love him
his music is dead and hes a horrific human being
Jasford mate your life is dead your full of jealousy that he has a career and you don’t grow tf up
if anything’s he’s overrated
He's not underrated. He's good, but he's not the best.
@@jasfordedits boss Man U sleeping under a rock or suttin 💀
i’m SO GLAD he mentioned the breaths she takes between lines because it gives a more sentimental feeling to the song, almost like she’s crying. and the background noises makes in seem like, when you’re playing the song on full volume, we’re *in the room with her while she plays it* incredible. really.
yess ,I feel the same and Stormzy got it too.
Glad for this jnterv.
Molarhead
I was so happy when he mentioned the breath thing
That's actually a small but very nice detail we could ever get or feel in music and that's the thing I like about Billie's songs
What song they are talking about?
Stormzy is just incredible. You can feel that his a true fan and really cares about Billie. The questions he asks are so specific, just mind blowing.
"You're Billie Eilish, and you're a fucking G." - Stormzy 2k21. He's so sweet honestly, this interview was the best thing to watch ever.
This is hands down the best interview she's ever done. Shoutout to Stormzy for asking the best questions and genuinely caring for her art and to hear her answers and not just ask the same questions we've already heard a billion times🙏
YESSS
Shoutout** to Stormzy ...a shooting is quite different lol.
@@GorgonDrageil autocorrect, my bad. Thank you
and for not setting her up
You said it well .... he cares for her art ... he sees her.
Billie just always has great chemistry with people, I strive for that level of charisma
Fake it till you make it
@@fueg00nyxxx HAHHAHAHAHAHA
@@rosalineroufael3007 its not really funny cause its true thats how i change my personality every year
Stormzy has a lot to do with it.
When you don’t have to worry about money you can find yourself
Strormzy is someone who ACTUALLY love Billie's work and takes time to listen to it so you can see how he came up with amazing questions that where even satisfying for Billie
How is anyone liking this makes 0 sense
You can tell how humble she is just by the way she describes herself…she really just cares about the music and being genuine, and everything else is just extra.
Stormzy fangirling for 24 minutes straight
Love him 😂
Idk about you guys but the contrast between white and black here is so dramatic lmao
@@user-xw4mu6nz4t Dramatic? How so?
@@user-xw4mu6nz4t em okay but completely irrelevant
@@user-xw4mu6nz4t where tf does skin colour come into this. this is two artists vibing, take that shit elsewhere.
OMG THE FACT THAT STORMZY MENTIONED EVERYBODY DIES AS ONE HIS FAVORITE FROM THE ALBUM, MADE ME LOVE HIM EVEN MORE
in which track did he mention it?
@@mrsayniax363 He mentioned it at 20:03
Stormzy is so underrated outside of the UK whereas he is a MASTERMIND!!!!!!!
billie is a genius and no one can deny that. she's such a humble person too, both her and stormzy actually
phineas and her
i dont get why finneas dont feature himself in her songs when everyone knows he works with her anyway
Can stormzy come up with all the interview questions billie does next?? He was really asking the best questions
There clearly reading off a script
That was the most wholesome 24 minutes & 13 seconds of my life. THE DUO I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED.
It was cool, but if that’s true you need to live more lol. Life has so much to offer
You can say it again my sister 💪🏽😂😂😎👑
Throw in Adele and we got a trio of awesome.
@@Taofizzle hyperbole, ever heard of it?
@@aspect57
It's been really over dramatic one.
When I watch this duo and Stormzy represnting the UK, I get shivers when I think how amazing they would sound on a song together!
i fully expect him to ask her to hop on his third album. He got H.E.R without even breaking out in America, I for sure think he'll get Billie on the next record
@@ellielouise9625
🤓 🤔
This was so sick. Stormzy is so articulate and it’s so good to hear two artists talking about what goes into making their art. Also loved what Billie said about lyrics
SHE LOOKS SO GOOD AAAAA
On god
her smile is simply the most beautiful thing in the world
It’s so precious
Your pfp I’ve never seen that photo
@@elisazouza
it's a photo from an interview, so cute
In the WORLD?
Seriously, that's so freaking true!!!!
I’m so SO satisfied with this interview, not only did I love Billie and everything that came out of her mouth as usual, but Stormzy literally asked almost EVERYTHING I’ve been dying know about this album and most of her music in general. loved this and am thankful to everyone involved
"My truth should be enough." - Stormzy
Yes, love that, great advice for any artist, easier said than done.
Stormzy such a humble guy ngl
The thing with haters is that they are obsessed with Billie except her art . They are not worth to pay attention for. Rock on Billie. Your art impacts so much and is timeless.
I watch Seven Hunnid on TH-cam all the time 😭😭I can’t stop watching his TH-cam videos, they’re amazing
💀
Yeah what a bunch of happiness denee'ers
this comment!! she is seriously a genius.
now i dont really like her music just boring for me i like rap alot but i really really love her as a person i do like oxytocin, happier than ever. but not any others really. i like listening to more explicit lyrics.
the way he is listening to her so intently. he is so beautiful. they are both such beautiful artists.
"You're Billie Eilish and you're a fucking G..." Don't forget it Billie.
I am in love with this guy dude..was here for billie but man it also has to be stormzy's way of talking and also what he was talking about made it more good
Stormzy is a true gem. So genuine and real, so committed to his art. And he gives back to the community too. 🖤
I bet you would love his music❤😊
Big up stormzy for his realness, it's not everyday an international superstar can recognise their peers like that, actual fuckin gas hearing it from my shitty flat, true artists hyping each other with massive interest benefits every single small time artist of all areas, net positive stormzy deserves recognition 👏
Real recognize real 👊
the one thing that stands out the most to me is their accents. this is literally just the difference between american english and british english, i love it
Love the rawness of both their newest albums
The little smile on her face when he says “so Billie, happier than ever.” She’s so cute dude
Billie is honestly an inspiration and deserves the world. I love her so much and I am so proud how far shes come!
What are you 12?
"I feel bad for the people that hate me, cause they can't avoid me..." haha, billie is a badass. I'm a tourist here, just a low key listener and fan of both these artists. But after this I think I've upgraded. I really like them both as people now.
This has to be the most random, yet coolest pairing EVER. I love it.
her smile and dimples are the cutest
OMG, I LOVED this interview. You can tell that Stormzy genuinely cares for Billie as an artist and her art. And oooofff! His faves are Halley's Comet and Everybody dies! Love that! This is the energy we need from all interviewers going forward. Let genuine fans interview her!
Yes yes & yes!!!
My take from this entire interview is Stormzy's advice which is so RELEVANT for this age we're all living in. Your reality is what matters. Social media can really get you feeling like you suck, or your life sucks, but it's really all just haters and smoke screens. Trust the life you're living, and trust your accomplishments: they're not as insignificant as you've been led to believe! 💜
💜
@@Kappy25 I hope you're in a better headspace one year later. 😊 Love to you. 💕
Stormzy is a lovely fella, and the attention to all the little details shows he genuinely loves the thought and love Billie poured into her songs and albums - great to see artists appreciate each other, great interview
AHHH UGH i love love love interviews where i feel like the interviewer is basically talking for me, saying everything I would say to the other person. They're both such talents and gifts to the world, loved this
Vote for Billie on mtv story’s!!!
@@joselineperez2649 i didddddd💚💚💚💚✅
“why can’t it just be about art” YES
“Without getting too deep. Flipping hell, that felt like a bit of a speech” damn, even when he’s not rapping he’s rapping😩🤍
These two coming together on the outside seems so random and unlikely but I honestly feel taht it makes sm sense . They both have a beautiful purity and deepness to them , they are so wonderful as individual and just merge perfectly in this interview I’m virtually crying at how much I love them and this😂😭❤️
She's so grown up and mature ,omg I am tearing up cause I'm so proud of my Billie.
Guys, vote for Billie on MTV's Instagram story right now
I did 😛😛
We were gonna lose anyway , because u know mad butter army r there, but at least we can go to semifinal😀
@@m.fajarmaulani1689 but lets try to win 😎
Just did doing it daily!!
I love how Stormzy prepared the detailed and specific questions about Billie's songs. You can feel he is a genuine fan of hers 😍 This interview is pure gold
this is actually such a beautiful, open and candid conversation. seeing two incredible artists like this is invaluable for anyone wanting to enter the music industry
This was the most natural and best interview ever!!! Seemed like I was just a fly on the wall watching Billie and stormzy having a great FaceTime call. Great conversation between two awesome people.
"I'm a random girl and I like to sing....why can't it just be about art?" Yes Billie! I always thought that. It's just people! I don't know why people need to deify or give their opinion if so-and-so was walking on the beach. Heck, it's just humans doing human things. This adoration disgusts me. I like Billie and her personality just like I like my friend and her personality. It's simple.
yes!!
I was thinking about that too! Why do we idolise artists and singers so much? It creates such an unnecessary gap between us and them while they are literally just doing what they love and we enjoy it. nothing more
@@LittleDragonnn1 Yes! Exactly. Doesn't make sense right?Billie even talks about why it is such a great ideal and I understand it perfectly. People charge "celebrities" as if they have some kind of superhuman power, when they're just humans who might choke to death on a grape tomorrow. That was kind of heavy, but unfortunately it's the reality for all of us.
@@LittleDragonnn1 You put an extra space before The Gap, Wendy.
@@ht-si1lr lmao she or he wanted to live up to what she or he was literally writing
gotta love stormzy man... he just seems like the most humble and well-educated person. I just love him and his music. And the way he listens to billie while she is talking? i would love to meet stormzy one day 🖤
this video is literally just 90% stormzy hyping up billie and I love that
SHE LOOKS SO GOOD OMFG
🧢
She always does
I have a crush on both of them istg. Both incredibly talented and humble people:')
What a lovely chat between 2 fantastic people who have that love and mutual respect for each other. Stormzy and Billie are true role models.....respect.
U can say that again my friend!
I’ve always loved Billie and I will always love and adore her. Stormzy is so sweet and the way he speaks to Billie is so comforting.
one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a minute. using this for my success one day.
She is so beautiful but not only her persona the way she thinks and talks is refreshing and real not some made up sh**
I love how we could see when they said things to each other that they needed to hear, all the advice and compliments and how they understood each other and felt seen and heard, that was amazing
"No matter what I do, I'm everywhere. It really makes me pity all the people who hate me, because they can't avoid me either" Iconic
i can be having the shittiest day and just seeing her smile makes me literally so happy
I love herrrr
Cool name Vanessa
“Why cant it just be my art”
exactlyyy
@@ren.8137 they hate her cause they hate themselves.
no lie when they bring up the breaths she does inbetween lines it's great bc i love breathing with her, makes me feel more connected to her and what she's saying
fr!!
This is the most genuine interview I've ever watched 😌
Stormzy has come so far, I remember when he first came on the scene and now he headlines festivals Infront of hundreds of thousands of people with ease and kills it
SHE SO FINE?!!😩
When an actual fan asks the questions it’s always a better interview! Bravo Stormzy for asking the best kinds of questions that actual fans of her music will appreciate! This was awesome!
How did i neever come across this dude? He has the spirit of an angel and so much positivity and good vibesss uuuggghh he is so good
his music is pretty intense(as grime music usually is), very different from billies but his flows are excellent and certain songs show his maturity and genius lyrically
Ya gotta listen to Stormzy’s music. It’s the complete opposite. He just knows when to act right
@@donathan2933 lol it's just his music and grime sound. your comment makes it seem like he's a hooligan or something outside of this interview.
@@ytube12345 I ain’t say he’s a hooligan, but I ain’t saying he’s a saint
EVERYTHING about this interview is amazing. From the questions they BOTH asked each other , too their chemistry..I loved it all.
SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING AND MORE
she’s so damn beautiful, healthy, happy & glowy ✨
I really enjoyed this conversation. I like how much they appreciate each others music. Stormzy is the man! He genuinely makes time to take in other artists art and can dissect through the songs.
Bille is super talented and genuinely seems like she loves the process of writing songs.
I've recently started writing songs and although it's a dream to reach the level of Stormzy, I can appreciate this type of conversation where they talk about how they write their music.
Stormzy is so right, there's the reality you, where you're just Billie and that person is amazing. The internet blurs the identity of who you actually are and what it thinks of you, its terrifying and scary when people say horrible things about you and they don't even know you. Its important to look after your mental healthP
i love stormzy's enthusiasm oh my gosh this is so good
what a great interview, stormzy came up with the best questions and billie is so real... i mean they're the best !!
Vitor, he is a breath of fresh air.
Honestly, I didn’t want this 24 mins interview/interactive session to finish. It was so wholesome, refreshing, educational, insightful, relaxing and every other wonderful adjective you can think of 🥺🥺….. Both of them were so thoughtful and compassionate towards each other’s art and well being. The love and positivity oozing out in this video was GENUINE and TANGIBLE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful conversation between two incredible artists. Loved every min of it.
she is so important to me my god 🥺🇧🇷
billie’s music is TIMELESS. one of the most amazing things about her. she’s truly incredible
michael jackson, james brown, diana ross. They are examples of timeless. this stuff will be forgotten..even by you in about a year or two lmao
We’ll see when her songs actually get old. It’s only been 4 years really.
not timeless her older songs are not as good as her younger one lol. there not timeless although i really like her and her voice, but its not timeless.
Absolutely loved this interview, since I adore both Billie and Stormzy🧡 Mutual respect is so evident. Would love Stormzy to interview Finneas, too!
I don’t listen to billie’s music. But really impressed with her as a person. So humble given her success and.... the fact she’s American. Got her head firmly screwed on
I think she is the most special, healing, and pure artist in the music industry.❤
We Americans aren’t known for our humbleness 😂
Awh I wish Billie saw that most of us love her and appreciate her art. Don’t listen to the trolls they have nothing better to do. Remember it’s their actions that’s speak about their hearts and own personal issues. Not about your Billie, it’s not personal because they don’t know you, not even your art! I know it’s easier said but trust me you have a strong support system, your fans appreciate you for your art. Thank you!
this girl is the reason i'm alive
That is sad.
@@PaoloState why
Same she saved me ❤️
@@jadee._2007. you cant live for a person.
@@PaoloState I'm not living for them. They just helped me not die.
you can tell, he really made her heart smile in this interview. beautiful to watch.
What a valuable and awesome conversation. An artist speaking to another artist about their craft. It makes me want to listen to their music more.
Nice one i-D!
More of these conversations please.
This is wavy, I like this, two different worlds colliding together and they on the same vibe and energy
I love her insights about how important lyrics are. And stormzy GETS IT. His lyrics tell a clever story, and you can tell so much careful thought went into every verse. It's not just saying stuff to be funny or cool, or rhyme. He's painting a picture. They both sing (and rap lol) pure masterpieces. Love them both
I think we need more interviews like this, the organizers did a really great job! Well done. ❤️
can't wait for stormzy's 3rd album..
BILLIE LOOKS FIRE AS ALWAYS AHHH LOVE HER
No but like how good was this interview??? Both were great and sincere and passionate. Really great content.
Bro this is amazing to see two people exploring each other and genuinely asking questions to one another i love it
Stormzys advice about believing the reality is actually very on point we all can get something out of that no matter if you're famous or not.
Stormzy asked the right questions ‼️Finally ‼️Damn🙉
Love them both, and its lovely to see them in discussion 💞💞
he's so in awe of her its amazing to listen to them talk
I loved this so much, and the way Stormzy pays attention to every single detail in the songs it`s just so cute and amazing. Love ittt
An honest, authentic and down to earth chat. So enjoyable. Love artists conversations like this.
This the best interview I've seen in forever, so natural and insightful
Haven't been a interview person for a while and this interview was a breath of fresh air, really something that was soothing. I am grateful for it.
No cuz this is now my favorite interview ever. I really enjoyed the conversations between these two. I love how genuine this felt & how honest they both were in this.
