When Billie Eilish, her brother Finneas, and their band took to the stage at the Grammy Awards ceremony to perform ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’, the result was a sparkling, hypnotic performance that has fans demanding to know why Billie didn’t take home an award on the night. Fans are particularly obsessed with Billie’s “angelic” vocals, which remain note-perfect throughout the entire rendition.
The brother-sister duo looked comfortable, relaxed, and happy on stage, vibing to the song and clearly having the time of their lives. The result is a performance that is both emotive and spellbinding, as well as one that many fans have already described as being better than the original recorded version of the song.
Another particularly striking element of the performance was the stage set, which depicted childhood photos of Billie and Finneas overlaid on images of a lush, green mountainous view. It’s a simple but effective aesthetic that helps to reflect the fresh, wholesome vibes of ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’ itself.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER is actually one of my favourite songs that has come out this year, Music Man readers, and as a result, I have spent a lot of time on YouTube searching for live versions of the track. Alongside their performance at the Grammys, one of the best is the rendition shown in the clip below, which Billie and Finneas gave in celebration of Billie being named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year in 2024.
It was a huge shock for many Billie Eilish fans around the world that the singer did not win a single Grammy at the 2025 ceremony, despite being nominated for seven different awards. At the very least, she should absolutely have won something for ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER,’ a stunningly beautiful song that has never sounded as good as it did in Billie and Finneas’ live performance of the track at the Grammys.
Billie Eilish and Finneas delivered an unforgettable performance at the Grammys, leaving fans captivated and eager for more. From their harmonious chemistry to the enchanting stage set, every element was perfectly executed.
