Billie Eilish Has a Laughing Fit During Her Stunning Cover of Radiohead's ‘Creep' at Amsterdam Show
Billie Eilish fans in Amsterdam are feeling so f–king special after witnessing the star cover Radiohead's 'Creep' at Ziggo Dome on Sunday night (May 4).
In videos posted by concertgoers, Eilish departs from her regularly scheduled setlist to deliver a stunning rendition of the rock band's signature hit, joined on stage by two backup vocalists and an electric guitar player. Taking the main melody, the nine-time Grammy winner's piercing voice soars over lush harmonies provided by the other singers, with Eilish adding her own tasteful riffs throughout.

'But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,' she sings, closing her eyes to the music. 'What the hell am I doin' here?/ I don't belong here.'
At one point toward the end of the performance, the musician spots something in the distance that makes her crack up, and is unable to stop laughing. Even as she raises her microphone to start singing again, she bursts into another fit of chuckles, eventually composing herself enough to deliver the song's final haunting bars.
Released in 1992 as Radiohead's debut single, 'Creep' eventually entered the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1993 before peaking at No. 34 the following September. It's featured on the band's first album, Pablo Honey, which reached No. 32 on the Billboard 200.
Eilish's performance of the track comes midway through her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, which kicked off in September in support of her 2024 album of the same name. After touring North America through late December, the 'Lunch' singer has spent the past couple of months traveling around Australia and Europe, with her trek set to conclude in Ireland in late July.
One venue at which she'll set up shop for six nights on the road later is the O2 Arena in London, where she previously performed in 2019. While she was there, none other than Radiohead's Thom Yorke caught her performance, after which he told British newspaper The Times, 'I like Billie Eilish.'
'She's doing her own thing,' he added at the time. 'Nobody's telling her what to do.'

Cristiano Ronaldo ends unwanted record after scoring winner for Portugal against Germany
There are not many things that Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't already done in his record-breaking career to date, but the 40-year-old ticked off yet another achievement on Wednesday. The striker scored the winner in Portugal's 2-1 victory against Germany in the UEFA Nations League semifinal, marking the first time Ronaldo has ever beaten Die Mannschaft. Ronaldo had lost all five times he previously played Germany and Portugal had not won this fixture in 25 years. As well as ending the unwanted record, the victory also sent Portugal through to the UEFA Nations League final on June 8 where it will face either defending champion Spain or France. In his 220th appearance for the national side, Ronaldo yet again proved the difference. Portugal had initially gone behind in the semifinal after Florian Wirtz headed Germany ahead in the 48th minute, before Francisco Conceição whipped in a brilliant equalizer just after the hour mark. The stage was then set for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to score the winner just five minutes later, tapping into an open net after Nuno Mendes teed him up with a square pass. It was Ronaldo's 137th international goal for Portugal and the 937th of his career, extending the two records he already has. The last time Portugal beat Germany was back in Euro 2000, when Sérgio Conceição scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win during the group stage. It was fitting, then, that his son Francisco scored in Wednesday's win, helping to end the long-running winless streak. 'We need to enjoy the victory. We won for the first time in a while against Germany,' Portugal manager Roberto Martínez said after the game, per Reuters. 'Tactically, we were exceptional and our commitment helped. It was a team victory. 'Now, we can recover and evaluate. We want another performance with personality in this shirt.' Despite his age and the fact he's been playing in Saudi Arabia for the last three seasons, Ronaldo has proven yet again that he has the ability to still perform at a high level. But where exactly he will play next season is currently up for debate. The Portuguese star raised questions about his future with a cryptic social media post last month. 'This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Thanks to all,' Ronaldo wrote with a picture of him in his Al Nassr kit. It comes as FIFA president Gianni Infantino recently suggested that Ronaldo may well play in this year's inaugural Club World Cup, suggesting a move away from Al Nassr which failed to qualify. His contract is set to expire at the end of this season leaving him free to sign with any club he chooses.

Nothing Headphone 1 to Launch Alongside Nothing Phone 3
July is going to be a big month for British tech company Nothing, which is not only launching its "first true flagship," the Nothing Phone 3, but will also unveil a new audio product, the Nothing Headphone 1. Headphone 1 is due to launch on July 1, said Nothing Founder and CEO Carl Pei speaking on stage at SXSW London on Thursday. "It's our first over-the-head headphones," he said. "A lot of our users have been asking for it." Audio is hardly a new category for Nothing. In fact the company's first foray into the hardware world was with the Nothing Ear 1, earbuds that captured out attention with their striking transparent design. The company's focus on design is "a necessity," said Pei as the company was late to market and needed a way to differentiate itself. "We call it technical warmth," he said, describing Nothing's design language. "At first glance, these parts look really mechanical, [but] once you dig a little bit deeper, there's a lot of fun elements." Pei also gave a hint into what we can expect for the company in the next five years. "The smartphone is the most important product today, but that doesn't mean it's going to be the most important product forever," he said. He's interested in seeing what new form factors tech companies are bringing to market, but would ideally like Nothing to be the company that finds the killer next tech product.
