To be clear I absolutely love her and her music but I do think she seems to have severe difficulties singing both high and low. As we know, her lows tend to fade away in live performances, and she can struggle to reach her highs as well.

An example:


I think she's great and very talented, but there is still room for her to learn more vocal technique and improve even more. She's still really young. I'm looking forward to hear what her growth as a singer and an artist overall brings.

She was sick during that preformance.

These two songs came before Ocean Eyes, and were both released on SoundCloud a few months before Ocean Eyes did.

Fingers Crossed: A song inspired by the walking dead.
Fingers Crossed
Falsetto B4 at 0:16, B3's, a G3 at 1:50, C5's at 3:09, harmonized G3 and F3 at 3:26-3:30.

sHE'S brOKen (I think it's been deleted from SoundCloud).
sHE'S brOKen
A3's, G3's, run at 1:34 that peaks at C5, E5 at 2:25 "Don't need it" , If you want, you could also nitpick at the harmony from 2:23-2:31.

I am aware these songs exist but I am not going to notewatch anything she did before ocean eyes. That would belong to her prepubescent range (which I’m not including, at least for now). I know there’s only months between these songs and ocean eyes, but I wanted to start with this song, because it’s from her first EP. If it was an independent single, I would’ve probably not included it in the thread either (or I would’ve removed it at some point).

I don't really see the big need to exclude those notes. Female voices only tend to lower a few notes after puberty, it's not really comparable to cis male voices which can deepen like an octave or more. The voice goes through changes of a few notes at several points in life, and female voices tend to lower more later in life. Should we be making separate threads for female singers when they reach their 50s or 60s?

[thatsnotcool33]

Seems a bit excessive to make new threads just based off age. And it's your thread, just putting those songs out there.

[jaredletoisbackagain]

Yeah that was basically my point

Hey just wanted to mention this website claimed billie has a c#6 in "everything i wanted" and a d6 in "no time to die" also she has a E5 mix in Oslo norway preforming her song "my boy"

[ama]

Which website is it? I’m pretty sure Billie doesn’t have any note in the sixth octave, but some people love to claim singers hit super high notes when in reality it’s just undertones or part of the instrumental, that’s why I’d like to check. And the E5 is flat, uncontrolled, her voice slipped and almost cracked, so it’s not worth adding it to the thread

[billieeilishstann]

Singingcarrots.com and I thought it was controlled but thanks for responding. Also are you gonna do another thread for her before puberty range ? I'd also like to mention theres d3 in ocean eyes with a c#3 in the harmony.

[billieeilishstann]

Forgot to mention there's f#5 in the harmonies of xanny , and bellyache has a f#5 and b5 inthe background . And someone on reddit claimed she hit a bb5

[billieeilishstann]

Sorry for multi-posting I'm new to this ,but thanks for telling me . And Bellyache F#5 ; 1:27 B5; 1:29 ocean eyes D3/c#3: 0:11 xanny f#5: 2:06 2:56 all of them are harmony's and you never said if the c#6 and d6 was true 

[glo]

Just a heads up billieeilishstann — they’ll threaten you with a ban if you multipost ahaha

[ama]

Please billieeilishstann, do not post several times in a row, you can just edit the first post you did and add to it, I’ll see it, so don’t worry about me missing anything. And could you please give me timestamps for the notes? It’d be easier for me to know what you’re talking about :)
And I’m sorry but I can’t find the Orion’s Belt video anymore, it was on Billie’s Instagram stories a long time ago, and then on YouTube at some point but maybe it got deleted.
And no, I’m most likely not going to do another thread for her pre-puberty range, there wouldn’t be much to notewatch anyway.

[thatsnotcool33]

Here's the Orions Belt video if you still need it.

[Deleted]

There's a d3 and b2 in my boy?! Does anyone have a timestamp ? Pls and ty

[ama]

youtu.be/2fympf7A-n4 0:44, in the backing vocals. But they’re pitched, therefore, it’s nothing impressive.

[zzzach]

Whats your opinion on this video? youtu.be/xOBJTyKU7E8 so there's 2 d3s in here , but the one showcasing my boy sounds like it went lower when she says "and if you" , but I don't have the best ear 😄

This one too youtu.be/A_E8tQxYX-E I didn't think it counted however someone stated the g2 is a "breathed out" note that counts , so I kinda wanted your opinion on that because I've never heard of that before.

[ama]

Noooooo not this channel again *crying*

In all seriousness, there’s no G2 anywhere in bad guy, and no D3 in ocean eyes or my boy (the lowest harmonised note in that clip is F♯3). And the high notes from bellyache are probably pitched.

It seems odd that she would pitch some D3's and sing others in the same song.

It's not really a thing to "breath out" a note. It's basically air. 

Ocean Eyes doesn't go below E3.

Does this channel have a bad rep? Everyone on youtube likes them lol

[zzzach]

Do yall count unreleased songs ? If so, I think she has some good lows that touch F#3 or f3 in this one youtu.be/qX8BwBSDJx4

So much of what they post is wrong, and the worst part is that everyone believes them. Of course, not everything’s wrong, they have some great videos that are accurate. However, we’re on a site where we know how to notewatch and do it carefully, and it’s pretty annoying to see the influence that Famousvocal has on people, because it’s not a good one. Because of them, how many people believe that Billie’s range is G2-B5? And why does range even matter so much? It’s like there’s always a competition to see which singer will hit the highest notes and which singer will hit the lowest ones.
In conclusion, come to this site if you want to have accurate information about a singer :)

Maybe they're trying to make her range bigger so when all the people that talk down on her , for her range , a "point" to be made. But I've seen a lot of people believing her range is G2-D6 , you can see it in the comments on youtube lol.

[thatsnotcool33]

Even if that was their intent it's still spewing false information and it's harmful that it's reflecting onto this site.

I know this myself since when I first came onto the site, I did the same to ama (I apologize for that, it was super annoying) and now seeing people fill the comments of these threads with anything that they're told really hits a nerve (go take a look at the comments of the Melanie Martinez thread).
