1. Saturday Night Live 09/28/19: Opening and Billie Performing “Bad Guy,” Billie Eilish did something visually arresting. Placed in a box behind her bandmates, she appeared able to walk and dance on the walls beside and ceiling above her. Was it a camera trick? Yes? The camera work kept the effect a secret for a while, but then cut to wide shots that demystified the thing a bit, revealing some other kind of camera in some scaffolding or something. But whatever, it looked cool and put the song across memorably. Like many musical performers before her, Eilish went huge for one song, and then did something comparably low-key and understated. This was the case here, with Eilish singing the wispy ballad, “i love you,” accompanied by a guitar player/backup singer, in matching fabrics. A heartfelt and fine song, the lighting and cloud-like smoke show did give it all a blue mood, which suited the emotional performance.
2. The Gayle King; Grammy Special 01/23/20: In-depth interview with Billie. Sometimes the very thing you thought you wanted the most turns out to be a nightmare. That’s how Billie describes feeling at times over the past year as her debut album, When We Fall Sleep, Where Do We Go? exploded her into global stardom, even as she just wanted to shrink away from it all. On Gayle King’s Grammy Special on Thursday night (Jan. 23), Eilish, 18, describes falling into clinical depression and feeling suicidal after her sudden fame made it hard to relate to her old life. “I was so unhappy last year… I was so unhappy and I was so, like, joyless,” says Eilish, who is nominated for six Grammys at Sunday night’s (Jan. 26) show. “I didn’t ever think I would be happy again, ever,” says Eilish over footage of her joyfully driving around Los Angeles in her all-black muscle car with King

I will start by saying I don’t understand how MVR has so much content in their personal archives. I mean really, who has the time to collect and meticulously document all this stuff? Do these people ever sleep? As customers we are the beneficiaries of all their hard work in archiving these brilliant performances, interviews and documentaries. Billie Eilish was not the first of this genre of music for sure, but she is probably this generations most significant.
