  • - (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.

  • Make sure you subscribe to this YouTube channel

  • because the content is (clicking tongue) sick!

  • You can follow me on Instagram.

  • All the links are below. Thanks for watching.

  • I love you, bye.

- (FBE) So welcome!
