> 1. “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish

Off topic a bit, but after posting this I decided to watch the video for the song on YouTube. And in addition to the regular video, I found a clip from Eilish performing it on Saturday Night Live.

[It’s pretty impressive.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn1Uwsg3eRQ) I’ve seen the trick used before but it’s done well here and it’s especially good for having been done on live television.

We now return to our regular thread game already in progress.

Sure, but also… she really has no voice whatsoever, has she?

I really don’t know. She sings in a breathy voice so it’s hard to judge her full capabilities.
