even almost got married and for pete, i m so thankful today, fans get so much more from an artist. you know, it s like they see their whole life. -look at my meal. -[man] what did you get? [laughs] vegan. [benny] with billie, she was showing everyone every part of her. she was the anti-pop star pop star. i m the bad guy duh with billie eilish, you feel as if she s whispering right in your ear, and that intimacy in the age when social media overtook everything, that tangibility of the voice is kind of part of the point. you really know how to make me cry when you give me those ocean eyes i m scared [finneas] billie s voice is my favorite voice. every time billie says anything in a song, i believe it. and that s, to me, the mark of, like, a really, like, genius vocalist. i could lie, say i like it like that
