Billie to be on iHeart Living Room Concert for America Sunday

Maybe everyone's doing covers? In that case I can see why it'd just be billed as BJA. If he's performing a Green Day song I'm sure he'll be introduced as Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day though (probably even if he isn't).

Edit: Also I think they only really avoid billing him as solo when he's releasing music. When it's just making an appearance/performing a song I doubt it's a concern, happened plenty of times.

It was Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. I’m really surprised it’s billed with his name only, and it leads me to believe he’ll be performing his I Think We’re Alone Now cover.

That could be it.

Really, I’m just overanalyzing liked the bored fan/advertising student I am haha

Maybe he’ll go electric instead of acoustic since he’ll have band equipment at his disposal. 

I know.. wishful thinking.

Oh yes! His solo electric Good Riddance performances from back in the day give me life!

But man, there's so many great as songs he could play acoustically *starts salivating* though I should set my expectations very low (i.e. only one song, only the cover or WMUWSE). 

Still, there's Christie Road, Whatsername, Words I might Have Ate, Redundant, Give Me Novacaine, Macy's Day Parade, Last Night On Earth, Pulling Teeth etc. 

...and that's just to name the songs he's already played acoustically at some point, not the ones that are theoretically possible!

On a nationally televised program that will be watched by millions, there are only 2 possibilities. 1) A song that’s well known. 2) A song that isn’t so well- known but that he currently wants to promote.

Considering it’s Billie, 1 is more likely imo

Can't wait to see how Mariah Carey lip syncs from her living room! 

She has a genuinely amazing voice with a five octave vocal range. All pop singers lip sync performances sometimes (often for technical reasons) but she's certainly capable of singing live.

To be honest I heard her recently when she didn't lip sync and it was awful. She isn't the singer she was before. 

Not to mention all her diva antics annoy me. She'll probably get into the rock n roll hall of fame before Foo Fighters 😂

Oh really? I guess her voice could've declined then. I imagine someone who's sung as impressively as she has can still manage to sing a song in her living room though. Annoying or not I wouldn't knock her for her singing, she literally has (or at least had) the greatest vocal range of any female singer in popular music to date.

I saw Heart in a small theater and Ann Wilson at like 60 something was amazing and hit every note. I think she's a great female vocalist that often gets overlooked.

Well I hope Mariah does sing live now so we can if she's still got it!

That is the biggest exaggeration I've ever heard.

No it's a fact that she has the greatest vocal range ("greatest vocal range" doesn't mean "the greatest singer", that is subjective). She can sing 5 octaves which is an incredibly rare skill. Axl Rose can also (or again, could at some point). She's the only female singer in popular music known to be able to do that. 

Edit: Check it out, it's pretty cool

Anyway it's just funny to me to see someone who is famous for having one of the most impressive singing voices of all time picked out of the list to be dragged for her singing abilities lol
