Not a big fan though Everything I Wanted is ok.
is she a record company creation?
She started out punky with the green hair and now she is blonde and her songs are ballads now.

She's a teenage girl with an artistic temperament. Almost by definition that means she is going to change and experiment with her look and image.
Very famously, she writes and records her music in isolation with her brother. They are guided by whatever mood or muse is striking them. So again, consider the changing personality of a teenage girl. Then add in the factor that she went from a 15 year old making music in her parents's house to one of the most famous singers in the world at 18.
Remember that The Beatles went from Love Me Do to Sgt Pepper in five years.

Kate is back. Hope its a good one. Would be nice to have just one weirdo song from Billie the Kid, but we cant be that lucky.
Its been a while, glad to have the show back.

Only two new shows in Dec and probably a long holiday break until near the end of January when it returns.

I would rather see Eilish do 4 or 5 songs rather than have 10-15 minutes of painfully unfunny sketches.

So the last few shows they have purposefully been doing these sketches to involve as many cast members as possible. I respect the effort.
What were the odds that on the show where Billie Eilish was host, Miley Cyrus would appear in a sketch before she did?
OMG!! The Smiths! Just hearing that song gave me goose bumps. And that was funny!

Oddly, two of my favorite segments, Cold Open and Weekend Update, were two of the weakest segments.
Overall a pretty decent show

Not a huge fan of Eilish but she's talented as hell and her voice is distinct and almost trance inducing... so for that I respect her.
That said, this was maybe the worst SNL ever. Period.

The bit with Billie Eilish and Kate McKinnon playing the girl and the old woman writing each other messages was the highlight on the season, edging out Jason Sudeikis' "Mellen."

Sorry, but it seems someone posts "worst episode ever" in the SNL thread after every show. It's silly.

I will admit that Eilish's singing was much better than her last appearance, but it's clear she's still relying on pre-recorded tracks to sing to (Unless she can somehow double up her voice live, in which case she's the best singer ever. But I'm pretty sure it was backing tracks)

I think Sigur Ros should sue this Atari guy for stealing his sound to play this character....I didn't think much of it the first time they did this sketch but now that they are making it recurring its kind of insulting...
I only noticed because the song he is ripping off used to be one of my favorite make out songs....

Oh, and I should mention that I got a major laugh out of Kate McKinnon's Dr. Fauci saying "I know you have a lot of questions about Covid, like 'Can I still use it to get out of stuff I don't want to do?'"

Episode wasn't bad, as always some hits and some misses. But the Tik Tok sketch just made me feel old (I've never used it, zero interest) because I barely understood it..

That and the hotel sketch near the end were the highlights of the show
Billie said she starting watching porn when she was 11
If I have a kid I will make sure I have all the parental locks since she is not the only one who is watching it at a young age

Billie said she starting watching porn when she was 11

Billie Eilish says that watching violent pornography at a young age "destroyed my brain" and affected her first sexual experiences.
The multiple Grammy award winner said she was "angry" that pornography was "loved" and created serious problems for people and consent.
Speaking on SiriusXM, she said: "As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace and I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest.
"I started watching porn when I was, like, 11 and I didn't understand why it was a bad thing. I thought that was how you learned to have sex.
"I was watching abusive porn, to be honest, when I was, like, 14.
"I was an advocate and thought I was one of the guys and would talk about it and thought I was cool for not having a problem with it.
"I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn."
