- (FBE) So welcome!
Thanks for coming down, joining us here on Teens React.
- (chuckling) - (FBE) How do you feel?
Feel excited to react to these guys?
- Yo, I'm so pumped. Oh-ho!
When I was 12, 11, I think at that age I'd seen
every single one you guys did, so all the Kids React,
all the, you know, Teens React, Elders React,
YouTubers React.
- (FBE) We'll see what the teens have to say
if you want to grab those headphones. - All right, all right.
I freaked the [bleep] out.
I was like, "Oh, my god."
I think I called my brother and was like,
"Yo, they did a Teens React to me."
Because, you know, my whole family knew
that I loved this channel.
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- ♪ (vocalizing) ♪ - (Christina) Billy Eilish! Yes!
- She knew right away. - (Anna) Oh, my god.
- (Roberto) This morning, I was listening to her
and I was like, why have we never reacted to her?
And here we are!
- ♪ I've been watching you ♪
- (Rae singing along) ♪ For sometime ♪
She's so pretty.
- ♪ Can't stop staring... ♪
- (Jair singing along) ♪ At your... ♪ - Yo, she's beautiful.
- (Darius) She's gonna play a huge part in the music--
- Darius. This was one of my favorite dudes.
It's really weird because I remember him being a kid.
I would always agree with his opinions on stuff
and I just thought he was so funny and cute.
I was like... aaah!
Okay, all right, all right.
- (Anna) I know that when she made this song,
she was 14, right? - I was 13.
- (Anna) She was super young. I love her!
- Aww, I love you.
This is the day after my birthday that we shot this.
I had just turned 14.
They put makeup on me that I did not want,
and they did my hair very [bleep] weird.
The difference between a 13-year-old and then a 16-year-old is so different.
- (Rae) I went to Agenda, which is like a festival.
And I saw her there live.
I punched my way through that crowd and--
- This is my girl.
I like that she punched her way up to the front.
I like that she said that because that's how I am at shows.
- (Noah) She sounds like every pop female.
- Lowkey, he got a point.
He was just saying what he thought instead of holding back
and also I agree that me then did sound like everybody else
because I was 13 and I didn't have a sound.
It takes a minute to actually take what you're inspired by
and make something new out of it and instead of just re-creating it.
- She's so cute.
- (Ulises singing along) ♪ I'm too young to go to jail ♪
- Yo, I love him.
- (Rae) Her voice is just so good.
Oh, I love her! We stan a queen.
- Pfft! (laughing)
- (Ulises singing along) - ♪ Maybe it's in the... ♪
- (Jair singing along) ♪ ...gutter ♪ - Oh, look at her jump.
- (Jair singing along) ♪ My lover ♪ - She's so cute!
They're all so sweet.
I really like-- when I first watched this,
I was like, they're all gonna hate me because so many people do.
I just expect people to.
- (Anna) I haven't seen this one. - Oh, this video.
- (Anna singing along) ♪ Giving you what you're begging for ♪
- (Christina) This music video is artistically gorgeous.
It's so simple but so interesting. - Thanks, baby.
- (Noah) I don't know what's happening.
- (Mikaela) I like her outfits she's had in the videos.
They're pretty cool. - Thank you.
- (Jair) Aah, the vertical video! Oh.
(singing along) ♪ Don't be that way ♪
- (Noah) Is this supposed to be just a handheld phone type of thing?
- This video was made for Spotify
and it's called a vertical video.
It was shot vertical, so it's supposed to be cut like this
because the whole point is that you open your phone
and you go to Spotify and it shows up.
But when we posted it, it had a white border,
so when it zooms in, it cuts off and then it's like...
- (Rae) It's so good!
I just want her to be my mom and sing to me every night.
Like, oh, my god.
- I'm on my way.
- ♪ ...if you're honest ♪
- (Noah) I feel like all the songs kinda are sounding the same though,
which I'm not a huge fan of.
- (Alberto) I wish she had some upbeat songs and not--
- See, but I do! Aaaah!
I do!
The two first ones were two songs that are 13-year-old me,
and then the songs I make now are all upbeat,
like I'm just trying to mosh type [bleep]
because that's what I want to make.
I just want to make music that's good, but that I can move to
because that's what I've learned from touring.
- (Anna) That's so raw, like how she looks in the mirror.
It must have been super hard for her to grow up
with all these eyes on her and people putting pressure on her
to perform and be like this perfect role model
when she's just a kid.
- People come for you, dude.
People are on your back about everything.
And no matter what you do, (sighing) everyone's gonna have
a problem with it.
So if you're trying to please other people
and you're not pleasing yourself, don't do that [bleep]
because no matter what, you're not gonna please somebody,
so you might as well just do what you want and please nobody
than do what everybody else wants and please you.
This is getting kind of deeper but it was like her
quote fake depressed. Bitch, you're 16.
What do you know about that?
Putting aside the fact that that's about me,
which it is, that sentence is like unbelievable to me,
that you could say, you know, a 16-year-old can't be depressed
or a 14-year-old or an 11-year-old can't
and the thing is, yeah, I've been through depression
my whole life. It's something I've dealt with
and I know tons of other teenagers have
and, you know, kids and adults and elders and YouTubers,
(laughing) all the people that react to videos on this channel,
everybody has their own emotions and their own problems.
Fake depressed is never something you should ever say about anyone ever.
- (Ulises) ..."Lovely" with Khalid. Ah. - Product placement.
- (Mikaela) Beats promo. - Yo, she got it!
- ♪ So I guess I gotta stay now ♪ - (Jair sighing)
(singing along) ♪ I hope someday ♪ - I'm in love with this girl.
- (Anna singing along) ♪ ...isn't it lovely? ♪
- She looks good. - ♪ (Anna vocalizing) ♪
- Were they sitting right here?
- (Alberto) Her and Khalid are great because they sing the same.
- We met on the internet because I remember I heard "Location"
and then I looked him up on Twitter and he was already following me,
and he was this kid with a couple hundred followers.
He DM'd me and he was like, I'm such a big fan of yours!
I love "Ocean Eyes." It's so-- like, I just love it so much.
It was like we were nothing at the time,
and then suddenly he was this huge god.
I know that it's a genuine relationship
because of how we met each other because we were fans of each other
for the art instead of the clout.
- (Darius) My soul likes this. - (laughing) "My soul."
- (Ulises) Khalid was the break-out star for last summer,
and then released this summer break-out star
and they're coming together. - Does he think that?
That's crazy that he thinks that.
Am I a break-out star?
- (Anna) She is stunning! - I love this video.
- (Ulises) I listened to this album on repeat
for three months straight.
This was the soundtrack of my life. - Oh, my god.
- (Christina) The dance in this is just so good.
- The choreography was sick in this. - (Noah) That was different.
I'm not the biggest fan of the music but I think the videos
are really cool to look at.
- Yo, okay, listen.
Honestly, that's all I want really.
Because I feel like I think of myself more as a visual artist
than anything else. Visuals come first for me,
so even when I'm making music, I'm thinking about
the visual beforehand.
- (Mikaela) She has a beautiful voice. I really like her visuals.
- I like that girl's brain.
All these girls are so smart.
- (FBE) So Billie is just 16 years old.
- (Anna) It makes me feel so unaccomplished.
I'm one year older than her-- - Nah, bro, you're on Teens React!
You're completely accomplished.
- (Darius) She's limitless. That's dope.
- (Rae) She seems like someone who was born
with kind of an old soul, like just born more mature
than a 16-year-old.
- (Alberto) People already expect so much of such a young person
that when she's older, they're gonna expect things
to progress more.
- (Noah) It's easier now for somebody to--
- (exhaling) He hits something there. That is for sure.
- (FBE) So finally, Billie is continuing to release new projects
and songs all the time, so as all of you grown up
from teens to adults, do you think that Billie will be
one of the bigger artists for your generation in the future?
- (Jair) Hopefully, she stays and doesn't fall off.
I thinks she's headed in a very good direction
and her voice can, I think, only get better at this point.
I mean, she's 16 and she's singing like that?
Man, I'm sure it's gonna be like, whew.
It can only go up.
- Aaah! That was so crazy.
This is so sick.
This is crazy.
This is like (sighing) aaah!
- (FBE) So it's great to have you here again.
- (laughing) It's crazy!
I literally can't believe it.
I did a show here-- I met the Fine brothers.
- (Benny) So how was it? - (Rafi) How was it?
- It was so great.
- You're telling me that you grew up watching this?
Like, it's so surreal. It's so surreal because--
- This is surreal. Oh, my god!
You guys don't even understand how crazy this is.
- (FBE) You are one of our most requested artists
to cover for a while and so every time we put
a video up, we're always in the comments
for the first 30 minutes and your fans were crazy demanding
an episode for you. - That's my crew.
It's just very weird to have grown up
as a fan, like a huge fan.
I was a big fan of a lot of artists,
and it's just weird that now I'm that somehow.
I don't get that.
- (FBE) So many teens seem to respond to your personal musical style.
Are you able to pinpoint where you really discovered
your own unique style or are you always kind of evolving?
- I mean, yeah, I'm always evolving because everybody is.
You never stop changing.
And if you do, something's wrong.
If you found my Instagram, you'd just be like,
oh, she's a fashion influencer, which is what I am,
but I'm also an artist and if I wanted to be something else,
I could just be that.
I just feel like there should never be a limit
and I don't ever want there to be a limit.
I never ever ever ever ever ever want to be a genre, ever!
I don't want to have a sound.
I don't want to have a look.
I don't want to be in a genre.
I just want to do what I want to do, right when I want to do it.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, all songs, all these songs sound the same.
I agree with that, with those actual songs,
so that's why I want to keep creating more and more
that sounds completely different.
- (FBE) What's next for you?
What are your plans for the future?
- Everything. I mean, that sounds so stupid,
but I'm working on an album right now.
I'm going on tour again in October, so that should be cool.
Lots of videos.
I'm working on something really sick right now
that will be out in a while, but it's gonna be worth it.
- (FBE) So finally, you were able to know
what the teens thought about your music.
Now we wanted to see if there's anything
you want to say back to the teens.
- Hello. (laughing)
I'm in shock and thank you all for caring.
I really was expecting a lot of not positive reactions,
so thank you for being real.
Thank you so much to FBE.
