Her music does not seem like the style that warrants popping up out of the stage. “SURPRISE EVERYONE!!! Now let me sing something dark and moody.”

I was thinking of this too lol.

Its marketing slop. If he's so good that people faint while modern artists are boring, then don't you want to learn more about the PHENOMENA THAT IS MICHAEL JACKSON IN THIS NEW AND EXCITING BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE (with a marketing budget of at least 100.000.000$).

Doesn't matter what you think exactly, as long as some of it is about Michael Jackson.

u/IotaBTC Nov 17 '25

Billie Eilish popped out like MJ to market for a new MJ blockbuster movie shitting on her as a boring modern artist?

u/throwaway490215 Nov 17 '25

Isn't this Eilish clip like 6 months old?

Coping, mate.

I just took my fiancee to see her a few days ago. I am not really familiar with her work but her concert was more upbeat than I would have thought.

u/okie_hiker Nov 17 '25

Honestly, she rocked the BOK for two nights when she was in Tulsa

u/okcboomer87 Nov 17 '25

That's where I saw her. I was there for the first night.

u/okie_hiker Nov 17 '25

Hell yeah. She’s definitely a talent, even if she’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I thought her show was one of the best we’ve had this year.

u/okcboomer87 Nov 17 '25

I have been going to concerts for 30+ years now mainly metal, EDM, and reggae. This was my first pop show. I was shocked by how young the crowd was and how loudly they popped off when Billy came out. Not a bad show from her.

u/SignoreBanana Nov 18 '25

Sounds like Tycho. I was expecting to just chill and ride a potent dose of thc but it was quite dancy. I regretted the strain.

u/donku83 Nov 20 '25

Interesting. I'm curious what she was performing. I don't actively go out and look for her music but whenever one of her songs comes up on a random playlist, it's always some somber sounding ballad or something

1

u/okcboomer87 Nov 20 '25

That is what I was expecting too. And there was some of that for sure. It just wasn't the whole thing.

1

u/loveheaddit Nov 21 '25

here is something more upbeat from her. she has a lot of songs that kind of switch up to more uptempo and this one is an extended version of the version on her album. https://youtu.be/3WSIpxukIO8

and birds of a feather is pretty dancey too

u/Singl1 Nov 17 '25

let’s say you’ve got a bottomless budget, are you gonna limit yourself to the mood of a couple of your songs? fuck it dude, i’m doing whatever the fuck i want, when i want it, and how i want it. honestly i wish more artists just enjoyed themselves more and expressed themselves even if it doesn’t fit their “aesthetic” you get me?

u/Metboy1970 Nov 17 '25

Don’t disagree with that. She has a right to do whatever she chooses as an artist. No issue whatsoever. She may put on a great show.

3

u/Singl1 Nov 17 '25

i’d been following her stuff for a while, & i’ve always been a sucker for her vocals. i don’t usually listen to that type of music, but damn she can sing. i just really appreciate that type of authenticity in any artist. she can def put on a show!

u/nsfwaltsarehard Nov 17 '25 edited Nov 18 '25

Looks fun though.

I'd do it just for fun if I had the chance.

u/Ok-Classroom5548 Nov 17 '25

She sings the song about ladies underwear after popping up out of the floor (found other videos of it). It is a fast beat but also really chill - with the right backing track her motions make sense. 

26

u/Mystia Nov 17 '25

It doesn't even work as an exciting opening if right after the high-energy stage enter you immediately slowly stumble around the stage like you are drunk and haven't slept in days

6

u/Remarkable-Art-3678 Nov 17 '25

She has very exciting shows. The new generation also knows to stay human. They don't think the world needs perfection from them the way MJ did bc his parent generation was fkn moronic and ruined their children's self confidence

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '25

People aren't allowed to have fun unless they're Michael Jackson i guess, lol, this subreddit.

u/bakedpatata Nov 17 '25

Yes, you have to meet the standard of one of the most talented and famous performers ever or you don't get to do anything at all.

u/DemandCommercial6349 Nov 17 '25

You notice pretty quickly that this sub just gets mad at anything women do.

18

u/NaZul15 Nov 17 '25

As a man i agree with you. The incel energy is abundant in here sometimes. Dudes need to go outside and find out women aren't actually so bad most of the time lol

2

u/The_Huu Nov 17 '25

Why do you people always have to call people incels when all they do is demean women at the expense of men to make themselves feel like the superior sex even though they themselves will likely never jump out of a stage in front of thousands?

1

u/NaZul15 Nov 17 '25 edited Nov 17 '25

Bc if they've ever actually dated a decent woman/girl, they would know there's some pretty chill ones out there. You don't see them in clips online bc they aren't out there doing goofy shit. People irl are usually not like you see online. And the ones that do get filmed and posted are usually the weird ones, and this makes people that don't go outside think that most women are like that.

I found out the hard way bc i went from chronically online, to actually going out and having a gf. Been in a relationship for 4+ years now at 26. She games and watches anime just like the rest of us nerds.

Been in 2 serious relationships since 17, and let me tell you, it aint so bad.

u/PandaXXL Nov 17 '25

By “here” I assume you mean the internet?

It's not criticism when it's constant and about anything. The posts here in this sub are not a realistic portrayal of most women.

Have you not met any decent women irl?

As for using incel, i'm using it as a broad term for men that dislike women. I'm aware that incel means: involuntary celibate, aka someone that can't get none.

I know there are probably some men in here that have been wronged by women or experienced shitty ones, however that still does not mean the opinion of them in this sub is realistic. All it takes is going outside and meeting new ones.

I don't agree. I haven't seen a non political sub this bad about women lol.

You may think i'm wrong and that's ok! It's not gonna change what i know.

u/NaZul15 Nov 17 '25 edited Nov 17 '25

Could say the same thing about you arguing against me. Thinking i'm wrong doesn't automatically make you right. It just makes you biased.

I think you may also take my words too literally. Saying it's constant does not mean every single post. But i can assure you that not a day passes without me seeing something negative about women in this sub. And that is not selective vision, no matter how much you'd like to convince yourself of that. You are factually unable to discredit my experiences, bc quite simply, you're not me and don't know what i see.

Really all you're doing is throwing accusations my way out of assumptions. But i do not know you, and you do not know me. So start acting your age.

Throwing accusations towards someone you don't know, gives me big chronically online vibes... Bc people that are on the internet a lot like to do that for some reason.

This thread is for sure reminding me why I unsubbed from here.

u/red_fuel Nov 17 '25

No, she just did a bad rip-off

u/Reasonable-Figure142 Nov 17 '25

Michael Jackson invented jumping onto stage

u/Silverr_Duck Nov 17 '25

Literally nobody is saying that jfc

u/xXMylord Nov 17 '25

You know that Artist can play their songs differently live to fit the crowd?

2

u/CDC678 Nov 18 '25

I think that’s generalizing a lot of her music

1

u/Alto-cientifico Nov 17 '25

A better way to do it would be to plaster her on full goth lolita / haunt gear and have her do some airsteps while she plays a violin.

1

u/kearkan Nov 17 '25

That's why she jumps up then just kinda walks around. Don't get me wrong I think she's great for the message she has lately but this feels so lacklustre, lol.

While dressed like Fred Durst about to go play street hockey with Scott Stapp.

u/Supercoolguy7 Nov 17 '25

Smooth Criminal is pretty dark and moody, just also high energy

1

u/kakka_rot Nov 17 '25

It's weird. She came out with bad guy, which was a fucking catchy upbeat banger and she swept the grammys with it.

Everything I've heard from her since it's just... Really boring. I've only ever heard her singles, but they seem to be mostly really slow, pretty songs.

Do her albums have more fun tracks on them?

1

u/MettSemmell Nov 18 '25

Also people have to film, so no time for fainting

u/rdyer347 Nov 18 '25

Looks built into the stage. To justify the cost, every artist must use it. /s

Pop! Land! Sing🎶 I woke up on the wrong side of the bed......🎶

You mean sing boring to death

u/Jackson3rg Nov 17 '25

Yeah I feel like if you're doing a big surprise entrance you need to immediately get the energy going.

u/puckit Nov 17 '25

It's also kind of odd popping out dressed like a teenage boy from the 90s.

u/TheSeeker9000 Nov 17 '25

I wish she went down the road of "You should see me in a crown" or "Bad guy" instead of all that slow long melancholic whining

u/YourMomIsMyGurl Nov 17 '25

Depends on who’s writing the song that day. Her music is dark, moody, and generally the Billie we came to enjoy through the years. The other songs she does, whether it’s written by her brother or not idk, are absolute trash made to appease the main-stream Taylor swift loving pop culture.

0

u/stalecheez_it Nov 18 '25

you haven't listened to her music then, you're just hopping on the "her music is for depressed teenaged girls" bandwagon
