The singer was criticized on social media; Fans defended her.
Billie Eilish has become one of the youngest singers with more popularity today, and it is exactly because of her young age, that she is giving what to talk about.
The 17-year-old appeared in “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on November 22 where she played an interesting game with the driver, who should be noted, is much older. The nightly host of the talk show said he was 17 in 1984 and admitted that he was not as successful at the time as Billie is now.
JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!
Kimmel decided to read several names of musical artists that were huge in the early 1980s. Billie knew Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, but had no idea of artists like Huey Lewis and Run DMC. The most shocking answer came when Jimmy asked for the name of some of the members of a particular band.

“Can you name Van Halen?” Kimmel asked while looking at names for Eilish.
“Who?” Eilish responded quickly, making it clear that she did not know about the existence of Eddie or Alex Van Halen.
Surprised Kimmel said: “I’m going to start crying.”
Fans were also stunned after the young star admitted not knowing one of the best guitarists of all time.
“I honestly don’t know how you can’t answer these questions, my friends and I are 18 years old and we answer each one of these,” said a surprised fan.
Another fan wrote: “Billie Eilish didn’t know who Van Halen was, I’m sobbing.”
Of course there were those who defended the singer pointing out that it is a very young person, so it should not be judged just for not knowing an important star.
