Eilish’s vocal range came in for particular praise. “Try telling me again that Billie Eilish whispers I dare you,” said one fan.
“Say what you want about Billie Eilish but saying she can’t sing is FALSE,” said another Twitter user.

Earlier today, Eilish admitted that she was feeling nervous about the BRITs performance. “I’m so scared. We’ve never performed it ever, so it feels so weird that it’s in the public, especially now that I’m performing it and I’m hitting a note I’ve never hit before.”
Going on to discuss Bond actor Daniel Craig and his involvement in the theme song, Eilish revealed that he was “really involved” in its approval process.
“He has a big say in it,” she said. “We learned that from this. He’s really involved. We haven’t met him but he’s got to like it before they move on.”
Eilish’s brother Finneas, who produced the track added: “He had to like it. If Daniel doesn’t like it then you don’t get the job.” He also revealed that ‘No Time To Die’ was written and recorded “on a tour bus in Texas. (It took) about three days.”
