Fans Are Concerned After Watching The Same Billie Eilish Interview, One Year Apart

Who is Billie Eilish?

Well, I'm happy you asked.

She's a 17-year-old singer and songwriter. She definitely runs with the younger crowd, but there's no denying that the girl has talent.

Her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? soared straight to the top of the Billboard 200 chart just last week.

Her first single Ocean Eyes was actually written by Billie's brother for her dance class.

In an interview with the BBC, she said she hasn't danced since the song was released because she suffered an injury.

"I strained my growth plate. My bone separated from my muscle in my hip. It was really bad," she said.

She seemed upbeat as her career was just taking off.

At the time, she had 257,000 Instagram followers, and seemed really excited about it.

She said that when she goes out, she gets recognized maybe once a week.

"No!" she quickly replied, and explained that she couldn't afford a "real" chain.

To which she replied with a simple, "nah."

"Don't be so sad, it's such a waste of time!" she told the cameras.

She now has two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart including the song Lovely featuring R&B singer Khalid.

She said that she now has 6.3 million Instagram followers.

*Note, it's been another year since the initial interview, and she now has 16.6 million followers. *

And she spoke about being recognized every time she goes out in public, and wished that things were more lowkey like they were a year ago.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Billie said that she's "mildly terrified" to be performing at the massive music festival.

They were absolutely real.

Although she explained that they were given to her as a gift.

They asked if she was handling it well.

"No, I'm handling the pressure horribly, I just keep it to myself all the time," she said.

"I didn't live up to that then, and I still haven't lived up to that, so..." she said.

Throughout the interview, she was smiling a lot less than she was before, and she had seemingly lost her "spark".

Billie's music has never been of the bubblegum pop variety but it wasn't super dark either.

On her first viral hit, Ocean Eyes released in 2015, Billie sang about feeling the pain of hurting the one you love.

"Isn't it lovely, all alone/Heart made of glass, my mind of stone/ Tear me to pieces, skin to bone," she sings broodingly on Lovely.

In her interview with The LA Times, Billie revealed that she was tired of everyone encouraging her to compete with other singers.

When talking about comparisons between herself and Lana Del Ray she said, "I don’t want to hear that Billie Eilish is the new Lana Del Rey. Do not disrespect Lana like that! That woman has made her brand so perfect for her whole career and shouldn’t have to hear that."

In the interview she said, "“Everybody’s always trying to make everybody compete. They’re like, ‘Billie’s album might pass Ariana’s…’ But just stop. I don’t care."

In 2018, she shared that she's diagnosed with Tourettes syndrome on her Instagram Stories.

In the post she explained that she never revealed her diagnosis before because, "Nobody thinks I'm deadass..as well as...the fact that I've just never wanted people to think of tourettes every time they think of me."

It was clear that she seemed a lot happier a year ago.

"Now even though she gained everything she "wanted" she looks so lost, lonely and sad," one user said.

It sends an important message that fame isn't always what it's cracked up to be, and we're hoping that since the 2018 interview, Billie finds her spark again!
