But he should've worded it differently, you're reaching here trying to make him look good, but what he said was a very poorly phrased response at best.

I agree he should've and no i'm not trying to make him look good, he probably would think he could've worded it differently too? It's conversation, he isn't reading out his own essay

gurl. Her music has already been sounding old for a year now

How?

[StarstruckIllusion 52,564]

He’s literally my least fave musician out there. Worse than the Chainsmokers

You all take things way too serious, he seems to be joking. Also, if anyone must judge or not judge the acts of Phines its her sister, Billie, we dont know how things really work. 

I still remember when you blow out of proportion the "yikes" Billie said about the meat dress and know this.

In a conversation you know when you can be misinterpreted, so you clarify. I mean, it's pretty easy to spot how your comment can be taken out of context in this case, so why not clarify?

That wasn't very Chromatica of him to say!

[alsemanche 93,637]

He's probably joking but he always sounds so pretentious and annoying, I really don't like his personality

If he didn't mean it like that in the moment and no one pointed it out until the fans did after it's aired then why would he realise then and there though?

YIKES, Who talks about anyone let alone their sister like that? Never been a fan of his he seemed douchey to me but I'm not gonna lie he did great with WWAFAWDWG.

He knows he's riding her coattails and doesn't want her working with anyone else. Look how that's going with her current Album, Every song so far has had mixed reviews.

Finneas makes great music, but I’ve never liked him as a person. He always came across as arrogant and egotistic to me.

Not to say hella pretentious as well.

he was clearly just talking about billies music when he said 'it' not her, or he would have said 'she's mine' which genuinely would be disturbing

I don't get why he wants to keep her all for himself. It's natural for every artist to want to expand their horizons at some point, especially when they're as young as Billie. There's no guarantee she'll want to keep all her current styles and trademarks forever. The most successful artists also tend to be the ones who never make the same album twice. It's the ones who keep people guessing that have the most longevity. I'm an only child, is it normal for siblings to be this close to the point where they don't want to work with anyone else? He can't be Billie's comfort blanket forever and she may start to seriously resent him for it too if she misses out on great collab opportunities because he's so possessive.

[OMonster 14,675]

I would say he has every right to feel slightly 'territorial' over Billie's sound/work - because it's his sound, too. He created that for/with her. I think it's completely human to be a little uneasy about her working with someone else. 

Should he stop her? No. 

Do I understand the sentiment? Yes - and you're lying to yourself if you say you don't. It's totally fine. 

Their brother/sister relationship complicates thing, too. This isn't just a work dynamic; there's so much more to it. 

I'm sure one day Billie will work with other products - especially if she wants to change her sound.

On a different note: I don't really rate Finneas anymore. Billie's latest tracks are incredibly boring and just go... nowhere.

I don’t think he was referring to Billie as it I think he was just talking bout the music.

 

also I’m probably in the minority but....they kinda need to stay together music wise for at least rn. It’s pretty much his production that created her sound and them working together in their rooms. 
 

I can see her style change of course in the near future, but if she wants to stay where she is but evolve that sound, sticking with finneas is the smartest idea.

i don’t think any other producer can really do what her brother does.

 

 

bad analogy bc AB is a do*che but Selena with her brother. Nobody could do what AB did for Selena and that’s why she still wanted him in her English album. It’s that spark and that sweet spot they hit with the music.

This. It’s really not “Billie Eilish” the singer but more “Billie Eilish” the brother sister duo. It’s what works.

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

I think he was referring to the music and not his sister as "it" and I think he said **** off it's mine because it must hurt/annoy him a little bit when people talk about her not working with him anymore as though he's disposable. 

I don't see why she should rush to drop Finneas and work with someone new. They both won Grammy awards last year which shows they're a great team so why rush to change it when what they have now is successful. And isn't she only 18? There's going to be plenty of time for her to work with other producers.
