A woman has gone viral on social media after sharing a clip of her experience at a Billie Eilish concert, where she wasn’t able to actually hear the singer due to a “baffling” reason
Many music fans dream of catching their idols live in concert, willing to splash out on tickets to hear their favourite tunes performed up close. Yet, one woman’s experience at a Billie Eilish gig took an unexpected turn when she found herself unable to hear the star due to an unusual disturbance.
Ana, who goes by anapanaderoo on TikTok, went viral after posting a clip from the concert where an opera singer seemingly drowned out Eilish’s performance. The video, captioned “Who was singing opera next to me at the Billie Eilish concert?”, showcases the moment Eilish’s voice is overshadowed by powerful operatic vocals.
The footage has racked up over 400,000 views and sparked a flurry of comments from shocked viewers.
One person quipped: “Who’s this diva (literally)?”, while another remarked: “Out singing the singer.”
A third commented in disbelief: “Is this real? I’m weak.” Another shared their mixed emotions, writing: “I would be so mad, then laugh. Then be mad when it never stops.”
One more viewer joked: “God forbid a Renaissance diva attends a Billie Eilish concert.” Someone else lamented the high cost of tickets, adding: “With ticket prices these days, I would be so mad.”
Billie Eilish, 23, is currently thrilling fans on her “Hit Me Hard And Soft” tour, and recently wowed crowds in Glasgow, with ticket prices reportedly ranging from £65.00 to a steep £160.00.
The US songstress first captured hearts in 2015 with her debut single “Ocean Eyes”, penned and produced by her brother, Finneas O’Connell. Her subsequent EP, “Don’t Smile at Me”, released in 2017, became an international sensation, topping charts in the US, UK and Australia.
Her first full-length album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, catapulted to the top of both the US Billboard 200 and the UK albums chart, becoming one of the hottest albums of the year. In 2020, Eilish lent her voice to the James Bond theme “No Time to Die”, which soared to number one in the UK singles chart and snagged the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Eilish’s meteoric rise has undoubtedly cemented her as a favourite in the UK music scene. Yet, concertgoers expect to experience her unique sound live, which is why Ana was left baffled when an operatic performance dominated her show experience, sparking a divide among fans.
One fan expressed their frustration, saying: “I like opera, but this would annoy me so much. Just want to see and hear Billie.”
Another fan was less reserved, commenting: “Not to be one of those people, but this would p*** me off so bad.
“I came to see Billie. If I wanted to I’d have gone to the opera house to see Phantom of the Opera, but not this.”
