I’m just hoping for coverage of her Office obsession. Include the footage where Rainn Wilson pays her a surprise visit and we’re golden. (You can see that now on YouTube, it’s fun.)😁

Dude it’s a forum. As such people express opinions. To say you’re not keen on someone’s music is hardly denigrating them. We all have different tastes. B.E is a singer in the public eye and therefore people are going to have an opinion. If they didn’t, she’d be out of a job.
that’s a description for every decade of music including the 60s and 70s. Same homogenisation and narcissism, just a different beat
I don't think I've even heard this persons music which means I'm not into the style/genre of music this persons music falls into.
The angle is she’s the latest teen star. So there’s a big audience that will lap up any content on her. Apple want to grow an Apple TV audience. Simple equation.
One Republic? Let me Google...
Oh I get it, because Tim Cook is gay.
That’s a good one 🤣 You go gurl!
PS Yeah, I didn’t get it after all 🤣 @Lounge vibes 05 has set me straight, so to speak, on the OneRepublic reference. My apologies for misunderstanding and assuming you meant he would like a former boy band (is that a man band then?) just because he’s gay 😬

Free speech is most certainly NOT allowed here, just like any other privately run website. That’s not a right you’re entitled to here.
But within the terms of service you agreed to when you registered, well, post away!
And I’m sure it’s ok with you if others do the same—even if one’s actual opinion is something you consider to be “blind adoration”?
Kate Bush is fabulous stuff. I remember being wowed by her music back in the day, I should probably revisit some classics soon.
It is Finneas Baird O'Connell, known mononymously as Finneas. He is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actor. He has written and produced music for various artists including his younger sister, Billie Eilish.
Exactly! I remembered that it was Phinneas or some such but couldn't remember exactly, and didn't have the spelling right the way he chooses to do it.....so thank goodness for Google!
Her talent.
And yes, people most certainly are questioning it. Which is fine! People are free to like, love, dislike or hate... or anything in between 🤷♂️
But no matter what your opinion, people shouldn’t be surprised if others post their disagreement.
She has a nice part on Peter Gabriel’s “Don’t Give Up” from So. I think that’s where I first heard her.
I see your point about her achievement. But not every achievement needs a documentary. The Civip War needs a documentary. Jackie Robinson needs a documentary. These days it seems like one hit record gets you a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next to the likes of Alfred Hitchcock and Charlie Chaplin. This documentary reminds me of doing an autobiography in fourth grade.
Obviously I’m stating my opinion. Besides Apple, Eilish’s legion of adoring fans would disagree with me. But there it is.

Is it ok if we don’t? We’re fine 🙂
You should feel free though, since I wouldn’t presume to tell you what you should do.
That wasn’t the joke. OneRepublic has a band that Tim has been very fond of in the past. Between 2013 and 2015, they had their music featured in several Apple commercials, Tim tweeted a couple times about them, he had them perform once at a Apple event, etc. just like how Steve Jobs was fond of Coldplay and Bob Dillon
That’s actually pretty hilarious. Is that where that picture of him dancing is from? Pretty cringey 🤣
Apple paid $25 million for the rights to that? No wonder Apple charges $45 for crappy leather cases.
"The World's a little Blurry...." Well, OK, literal-minded folks, time for a visit to the ophthalmologist, right? 
?? Heaven knows, now and then I've seen so-called "artistic" photos in various places that have made me wonder if I shouldn't be making an immediate appointment with my own eye doc!
That aside and more than likely not the point that was intended by the title of this documentary anyway, presumably Billie's current or fairly recent life experiences in this world have been a little blurry not so much due to any vision issues she may have, but more likely, some at times confusing situations which are still difficult and with which she is still struggling as she tries to make sense of her current world. I hope that with good strong support from family, friends and professionals on her team that she is able to work her way through things!

The "talent" you speak of is her brothers proficiency in music software & her social media savvy. She's the product of trending culture that peaked in 2019. Her social stock has already slipped in 2020 as I've noticed once fervent fans being their fickle selves & moving on to the next trend. Talent is one thing, being timeless is a whole other.
If proficiency in music software and social media savvy were all it took to have a smash hit album, I think there would be a lot more smash hit albums, don’t you?
Music software no more creates a hit album than a word processor creates a best selling novel. No matter how proficient you are, the stuff doesn’t write itself, whether music or words. Pretty sure talent comes into play somewhere, no?
You seem to have come to that realization yourself by your last sentence, where you do a 180—acknowledging their talent but moving the goalposts to “timelessness” lol.
I said they “display an impressive amount of talent at quite a young age”, not that their music is for the ages 🙄 (Though it may be, who knows; my crystal ball is on the blink atm.)

Billie Eilish is manufactured. And Of course those who disagree with you are some how less accomplished than those mention. Just because some one doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't make them inferior to what's being said.
