Ive listened to this album again today in full.

 

Love her voice on certain tracks like i love you, listen before i go, when the party’s over and 8.

 

It’s a strong album and it’s cohesive but sometimes I can’t tell songs apart. There’s a few tracks on there what are a bit samey but she is a strong talent and you’d never think she was like 18 (even younger than that when she recorded this)

 

I think she’s gonna be someone who’s gonna really grow as well with each release. Like I found everything i wanted better than anything on this album so she’s heading in the perfect direction going forward.

Winner of Best Pop Vocal Album at GRAMMYs!

 

 

I feel like it's her or Lana for AOTY later on but I pray it's Billie, such a great album and it'd be absolutely amazing for her to win for her debut at this age!

I think Billies the most likely now tbh!

 

I’m expecting bad guy to win in one of the categories that’s nominated for too.

 

I’m gutted for Ari missing out what I think was her best shot. But can’t argue with Billie getting the award. I’ve really gotten into her lately and I can now see what the fuss was all about (like a year too late :lol: ).

Bad Guy got SOTY!!

 

Edit: She swept the big 4!! :o Didn't expect her to tbh but I'm so happy for her, so deserved as I feel like she works so hard and she's absolutely nailing it, doing her own thing in her own way and absolutely thriving in the moment. She seems like the biggest sweetheart too and genuinely appreciative of everything she achieves and receives.

wow she won everything

So so well deserved, such an incredible album, song and artist! Whilst I would’ve liked Lana to win one it’s very satisfying seeing my artist of the year sweep

I also would have preferred Lana but at least she was beaten by a good album

I'm moderately amused that she's being heralded as the youngest artist to sweep the big 4 categories, as if it's happened more than once ever before. I guess putting her in the esteemed company of Christopher Cross isn't a strong sell :lol:

 

(and to be honest, since one of the big 4 is Best New Artist, it could be argued that an older artist doing so is more impressive given how the industry works).

Having one artist sweep all 4 of the big awards is a little boring to be honest, but well done to her xx

 

Apparently aside from Christopher Cross (who x) the only other artist who's won all 4 awards is the much more esteemed company of Adele, though she didn't win them in the same year.

surprisingly she performed When the party's over

I was kinda expecting Big Guy or if not, Everything I Wanted

When The Party's Over is when I first sat up and took notice of her tbf!

when the party’s over is my favourite song what’s on the album tbh.

 

Hopefully when she does the BRITs she doesn’t do bad guy. I think it’s the one song of hers what just doesn’t showcase her voice at all so that being her biggest hit is a bit meh for me.

Agreed, I don't think it would work well at the BRITs. It's a song that relies on audience participation and anyone who would be interested in joining in will be too far back for the sound to pick up and all the camera will capture is a sea of deadpan faces of the singers and record labels impatiently waiting for the after party.

if she didn't do Bad Guy at the Grammys despite it being song of the year and

record of the year, probably won't do it at the brits either

hopefully one of her ballads, if only she did Ocean Eyes!!!!

I could see her doing 'everything I wanted' at the Brits for some reason!

I hope she does!

The album is back up to #3 in the US - and bad guy is back in the top 20 at #17

'ilomilo' is now getting a little bit of single treatment, being promoted on US alternative radio and I've just seen it was pushed at pop radio in Italy too :o

I gave this album a full listen earlier in the week and it’s pretty much now a completely solid album.

 

At the time of its release I perhaps didn’t quite 100% get it but Billies such a talent and even though some of her work she’s done after this album has been more of a step up for me in terms of songwriting improvement I can definitely see why this sweeped the Grammys and did so well.

 

I’ve always low-key preferred her vocal on ballads as opposed to tracks like bad guy though :lol:
