Alicia Keys and Billie Eilish sing Ocean Eyes

The two singers appeared on the Late Late Show where Alicia stood in for James Corden as the host.

And just like anyone would, the star lapped up the opportunity to perform with the Bad Guy hitmaker, as the duo sang a stunning duet of the 17-year-old’s hit, Ocean Eyes.

Sat behind the piano, the 38-year-old played the melody while they took it in turns to blast out the verses.

And Alicia didn’t do half bad, despite the song not being her style, as she hit the notes effortlessly while Billie looked on.

Can the Billie haters please stay silent if you don't have anything nice to say. :huntyga:

I copied directly from the article but yeah, she's an acclaimed singer in her own right. Whoever wrote this was a bit harsh. :laughga:

So good! Ocean Eyes is probably the only song I like from Billie and both of them sounded good. I'm not really keen on her singing style, but Billie is pretty good at singing live. They also showed a clip in the same interview where Billie was singing Fallin' by Alicia Keys when she was 12. She was more belt-y then.

The song feels kind of anticlimactic to me but then again most Billie and Alicia songs do. I feel like the song tries to be a mood and that’s it.

But I do like the verses, but not the chorus. Chorus should have more losing control.

Billie's studio version is much better. This seems more like an impromptu acoustic performance which explains why it's not perfect.

this got a bit of rythm and blues and Billie Eilish digged the phrasing. She's very musical. Great performance, Alicia Keys was Amazing tbh. I just kinda was hoping for some syncopated bluesy chords and lick to disrupt the vibe and give the extra kick, but hands down

I wish american late night shows were hosted by singers instead of comedians so we could have these epic duets every day instead of lame games and embarrassing stories no one asked for :diane:

Fair enough. Though I was just talking about the song. As Gagz says a good song needs nothing more than a piano. I’ve heard the studio version and i actually think this acoustic version is better even though it’s not perfect, although I would have preferred a more beltier chorus and possibly a key change.

Better Queen Alicia Keys than James Corden. I’m not a fan of his and feel he tries to outstage everyone else.
