Let’s be honest, we’d happily listen to Billie Eilish sing almost anything — even if it was just the alphabet!

While she mainly tops the charts with dark and moody hits, the 17-year-old has the kind of versatile voice that can make any style sound amazing.

The superstar showcased her musical range in a game of Word Association as part of Elle US’s Women In Music issue.

In the video, she was given a ten-second time limit to sing parts of songs that contain a specific word in the lyrics. 

While she sings everything from Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber to Big Sean, there was one song in particular that had fans calling for a full-length cover!

Watch: Billie Eilish sings a haunting version of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’

When prompted with the word ‘when’, Billie immediately thought of the Radiohead hit “Creep”.

The result is nothing short of magical!

Despite the fact that the song came out in 1993 (8 years before Billie was born!) she absolutely nails the classic rock song.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed by her fans either, who have taken to Twitter to demand a full-length version.

It seems Billie was just as into the haunting rendition as we were, closing her eyes with pure enjoyment as she sings. 

Hey you never know, maybe she’ll throw “Creep” into her setlist during her next run of shows?

ELLE also had the rest of their Women In Music stars take on the fun game.

Billie scored 14/15 in the game overall, which makes her neck-in-neck with one of our other fave musical babes, Camilla Cabello.

Taking out the top spot was Lizzo with 15/15, which comes at no surprise given she is 100% that b*tch!

It’s not just Billie’s magical voice making headlines lately though. Just last week, the superstar called out a publication for using a nude photo of her on their cover, without her consent.

After publishing the cover on their Instagram, Billie responded in the most Billie way ever.

“what the f*ck is this sh*t,” she began.

“1. I was never approached by nylon about this piece whatsoever. i did not know it was happening nor did anyone on my team.

“2. This is not even a real picture of me. I had absolutely no creative input.

“3. You’re gonna make a picture of me shirtless?? that’s not real??? at 17? and make it the cover???? even if the picture was supposed to look like some robot version of me… i did not consentin any way.

“4. ANNNDDD YOU’RE GONNA REMOVE ALL MY F*CKIN HAIR?

“boooooooooo to you 🖕🏻”

Popular Instagram account @commentsbycelebs found screenshot the whole ordeal.

The publication’s “digital prodigy” cover series has since apologised for their cover, deleting it off Instagram.

Billie has before spoken about why she covers up so much with her clothing, so to picture her nude in this cover goes against everything the young artist stands for.

“I never want the world to know everything about me,” Billie said in a video with Calvin Klein. “I mean that’s why I wear big, baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘Oh, she’s slim-thick, she’s not slim-thick, she’s got a flat ass, she’s got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know.”

She is pretty sick of people questioning her clothing choices.

“If I was a guy and I was wearing these baggy clothes, nobody would bat an eye,” she told NME. “There are people out there saying, ‘Dress like a girl for once! Wear tight clothes you’d be much prettier and your career would be so much better!’ Not it wouldn’t. It literally would not.”

Amen sister.

Between that, and her feud with YouTube star Tana Mongeau, Billie’s a busy busy gal.
