“You can say the truth, and you can not tell anyone that it’s the truth-you can just write it, and it’ll be yours.” Raised and homeschooled in Los Angeles by actor/musician parents, Eilish (born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell in 2001) started writing songs when she was around 11, exploring a strain of melancholy, minimal, and slightly surrealistic pop influenced as much by Lana Del Rey as the radical honesty of rappers like Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. “You can write anything,” she told Apple Music in an interview for the Up Next series. So if you’re short and there’s no seats at the venue, I suggest you get there really really early! 4 hours wasn’t enough for me, but it depends.When singer-songwriter Billie Eilish feels something new, the first thing she does is take out her phone and write it down. But beyond that, maybe if I was actually able to see the show and not have to look through the cracks of two heads, I would have enjoyed it so so much more. The fans around me were kind of rude, like going into a space for handicapped people, and pushing against people who were handicapped. There was a girl beside me who kept glancing at me every two seconds on purpose as if I was doing something wrong!! I don’t know if it was because of my coat (which I couldn’t do anything about, everyone was cramped together anyways, but she was so annoying and aggravating!!!! I was honestly about to tell her something, and my brother noticed too. I know it isn’t billie’s fault herself, but I felt that maybe I should say this as a review of my experience. The concert was great though, but the worst part of it for me was the people in front of me. Hearing that after waiting four hours before even getting in made me sad.

My brother even told me when it was 9 that if she hadn’t come out by 9:30, we’d just leave. The doors opened at 7, nothing happened until 8, the opening act started and ended at 8:30, and then we waited for another 30-40 minutes. For me, the wait in the venue was really a downside. The show was great, I really liked her performance, however, my brother who was with me at the time noted that she was singing along to her own vocals with her song, so it wasn’t just the instrumental.
