In the Music Lab, customers will have a chance to go hands-on with Eilish's song "you should see me in a crown." Participants will be able to create their own mixes of the track and find out what inspired Eilish to write the song from her latest album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"
Exclusively in Apple Stores, get hands-on with tracks direct from your favorite Apple Music artists. In this session, you’ll deconstruct Billie Eilish’s song “you should see me in a crown,” find out what inspired her, and create your own version of the song using GarageBand on iPhone. Devices will be provided.

The sessions at my nearest Apple Store just usually end up being an instructor speaking over the PA with no one listening or paying attention.

Saw her on Hot Ones. She seemed like a spoiled brat. Way too immature. But, like someone else said...a lot of the kids can relate. In this day and age, where YouTube and Instagram give anyone the ability to have an audience...it seems like there are more people getting music careers that don't deserve it. But, maybe I'm too old.
Anyway...I'll pass on that one. o_O

That’s exactly what she is. Just another music industry puppet, pushing an agenda through her music in exchange for fame and fortune. I’m glad I’m too old to be influenced by this garbage.

Good lord, please close your mouth. She's talented and you don't know anything about her. There's plenty of room in music for whoever you like, whoever you don't, and whoever you don't know about.

Every music post here gets this kind of reaction, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

she's on the cover of rolling stone.

she's a kid who hit it big. who has a family trying to protect her from the worst of the music industry.
 
She’s an odd one. Ripped her fingernail off on Instagram, put a hole through her hand for some odd reason. Can she even sing? I hear her bad guy single on top 40 radio and her voice is different. She has an audience somewhere, but this 40 year old isn’t it.

I love this response because I just experienced a birthday into the ancient-medieval world. And, I survived the British invasion of the 60s. Thus, there's little today that captures my imagination. But, I like the vocal skills of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

You’ll have to be more specific. You just described the other 900 vapid dimwits who grace the cover of Rolling Stone.

What else does the music industry have to do? They haven’t seen any talent in twenty years. Might as well exploit people as a side job.

C'mon. Nothing ventured, nothing the world might gain off someone else's efforts... imagine if some shepherd never discovered that if you variously cover up and then let be open again the wormholes along a piece of stone, a hollow tree branch, a piece of bamboo, you can get... yeah, popular music... the kind that gets you through another night with wolves that don't really care if they eat lamb or shepherd pie.

Fast forward about forty-two thousand years, and what with people messing around with flutes all the while, et voila, we've ended up with the likes of Sir James Galway and Jean-Pierre Rampal.

So who knows what will come of the work offered up by some "vapid dimwit" currently gracing the cover of an issue of the Rolling Stone?

Oh, don't like classical music? How about jazz flautists then... here are 25 performances to sample. They all must have been figured as dimwits somewhere along the way. Everyone drops a bow or breaks a string now and then, or in the case of wind instruments just runs out of lip once in awhile before the piece is done. That's why principals have seconds, and sometimes who's a principal has a lot to do with luck of the draw, there are so many worthy performers.

I never said she wasn’t talented. What I did say, however, is that she’s just one of many young people being used to influence the masses. Particularly younger audiences, which are the most impressionable.

And I never claimed to know anything about her. What I am commenting on is the material she’s putting out. And guess what, it’s not unique or original. It’s the same imagery and symbolism being propagated by the other people who currently sit at the top of the charts and enjoy success in the music industry.

You’d have to be obtuse and willfully blind to not see the repetition and what the underlying message is. — If truly you don’t, then I feel very sorry for you.

I wonder which of those is the biggest trigger... hard to say. Maybe most of the complainers just want her off their lawn *shakes fist at air*

When I was younger—actually, still today—I would be thrilled to have access to the individual channels of a multitrack recording of one of my favorite artists and be able to remix them. Even recording engineers occasionally like to play producer lol.

My teenaged students love her music. As someone said, they relate to the dark and melancholic side. I’m not that in to her but she’s got some nice songs. And, as soon as you get picked up by a major label you become their puppet.
