Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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. https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/10/billie-eilish-definitely-knows-alicia-keys-pair-duet-van-halen-controversy-11651081/amp Can the Billie haters please stay silent if you don't have anything nice to say.

Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems more like an impromptu acoustic performance which explains why it's not perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 14,413 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 87,470 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 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 If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

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.

Mister G 9,165 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Better Queen Alicia Keys than James Corden. I’m not a fan of his and feel he tries to outstage everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
