There is actually no such person as Billie Eilish — even that name was computer generated. The Billie Eilish figure is a joint venture between Marvel, Interscope Records and Monsanto. Marvel artists and writers designed the concept and figure of the depressed-pop-ingenue character, complete with the cartoon-like dyed hair, and Monsanto was hired to produce Billie Eilish clones. The original contract called for 20 identical Billie Eilish clones, but three didn’t make it, so there are only 17 Billie Eilish clones in operation.
The Billie Eilish Project is an attempt by the music industry to solve a marketing problem which has plagued the industry for years. They spend all this money on publicizing and marketing the latest teen sensation, only to have them blow up before the massive investment can be recouped. For example, Britney Spears suffered her famous nervous breakdown along with a battle between her parents for ownership of performance royalties. Lyndsay Lohan ran amok and went full-blown skank, making the brand-name worthless. And Ashlee Simpson had that meltdown on Saturnday Night Live, which killed her career.
But with the Billie Eilish clone, they seem to have worked all the bugs out of the product. If one Billie Eilish ODs, they simply start another in her place. If a Billie Eilish clone gets trashed and falls off the stage, another is waiting to immediately take her place. Since the clones are identical, no one can tell the difference between them. In fact, last week Billie Eilish No.2 was a guest on the Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show while at the same moment Billie Eilish clone No. 3 was taping an appearance on the Ellen Degenerate Show.
It ‘s true that the clones are not perfect. For example, none of them can sing, but that doesn’t matter, as all the teen pop-idols perform while miming (lip-syncing) to the studio recordings made by professional musicians. This has been standard practice for many years.
I don’t think that the average teen music consumer care if the latest product is a clone or not. They’ll buy anything which is heavily marketed and saturated in social media such as Quora. In fact, I was paid by Universal Music Group to post many of the questions about Billie Eilish here. If you look at the Log for most Billie Eilish questions, you will see that the person the question is attributed to does not have the question in her list of questions.
Quora was paid to post these fake Billie Eilish questions and some of the phony answers. It’s called marketing.
