“Never need a Grammy, I’m what a Grammy need “

He doesn''t need a grammy. The grammy needs him.

abel is one of the few artists that somehow manage to sound even better when they perform live

He is not singing ...its coming deep from his heart

you don’t need the grammys THEY NEED YOU

The bleeding walls add an extra layer of darkness. Genius.

He’s crying for help. This song is so heartfelt I cried while listening to the ending. I pray that he will get through the demons he is struggling with inside himself. He’s so talented and this album is the best one I’ve ever heard.

I think After Hours was the best album ever.

Feel like crying, he deserves so much more than a Grammy. His artistry is on another level. :'-)

Grammy winner or not, Abel proved everyone that 2020 is *HIS* year

These Vevo live performances from The Weeknd are just next level. Most artists don’t sound half this awesome in the studio let alone in live performances. The way his voice hits these notes on different parts of the spectrum is just incredible. We’re witnessing the GOAT of current music.

He has such a presence and voice he doesn't need gimmicks, dancers, distractions. Pure talent and genius.

I think these three videos show how much Abel truly cares about his fans. At this time in the world we should be greatful that he blesses us with these videos that he made for his fans.

This "After Hours" album is this generation's "Thriller".

This man is broken and this album is him with his heart in his hands. I can feel his pain in this song 😟

His voice is so good that at 0:54 to 1:04 it sounds exactly as the recorded version it’s hard to tell but it’s amazing XO

If he doesn’t deserve the Grammy, NOBODY DOES!!!

*"AFTER HOURS" ALBUM OF THE YEAR.* *"BLINDING LIGHTS" SONG OF THE YEAR.* *"THE WEEKND" ARTIST OF THE YEAR.* #WeLoveYouAbel #xo

Everyone talking about him deserving the Grammy. But deep down we all question ourselves, does the entire corrupt music industry deserve him?

All of The Weeknd’s songs are pure gold. Weeknd is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure he will be #1 soon due to 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

this performance alone deserves a grammy

All of The Weeknd’s songs are pure gold.

1:04-1:37 is one of the best sequences I’ve ever heard. The build into that groove, with the vocals driving with the perfect melodies, and the lyrics to really drive home the image and feel of the album. This song is a true masterpiece.

This is one of Abel's most important performances imo.

*PEOPLE TRYING SO HARD TO DEMOLISH THIS GUYS LEGACY. HE KILLED IT THIS YEAR. THE REST IS NOISE*

how tf did Grammys not nominate him when his album made the most noise this year

Depression Loneliness Betrayal Illusion Anger Medicine: THE WEEKND

This music is very deep to me, because I lost my only sibling named Faith in 2014, he was so dear and kind... so when I listen to it the emotions are mixed ⭐ 🔆 R.I.P Faith Barilugbene

LET’S GOOOOOO THE GRAMMYS DONT DESERVE YOU

You are already the winner in everyone's heart.U don't need those dirty Grammy's at all!..

He says "The lights are blinding me again" and the very next song of this album 'Blinding Lights'

''Depression Loneliness Betrayal Illusion Anger Medicine: THE WEEKND ''

abel is probably is the only artist in the industry that released an artistically compelling album this year, paired with a cinematic narrative and a consistent concept throughout every single one of his live performances. his record 'blinding lights' surpassed 1 BILLION streams back in june, making it the most-streamed song in the world. 'in your eyes' is a track with a synthpop/post-disco flair that is noted to be a stand-out track from the whole album - the saxophone solo was the most satisfying thing i'd heard and i wish i could go listen to the track (hell, even the whole album) again. every single track was amazing - faith, alone again, snowchild, scared to live, save your tears, after hours (MY FAVOURITE!). 'after hours' was given a professional rating of 80/100, based on 20 reviews. it was definitely 'album of the year' in the eyes of critics' as well. my point is that this year, no artist reinvented themselves the way abel did. few artists evolved but no one is close to this man. he left his fans hooked for more and he GAVE more. he worked so hard and i've got this emptiest feeling after hearing those wretched grammy noms. he really deserved recognition from them for his success and self-reflection this year. in conclusion, fuck the grammys.

The Grammy wasn't strong enough to carry this iconic after hours production. PERIOD

I feel sick that this man is still trying to make it to the top 😢 he is brilliant his talent is beyond any other of this generation his story telling has me obsessed with him no one is better than him in my opinion he’s a true artist

The Weeknd is a FREAKING LEGEND The Weeknd is my Favorite Singer

If Abel hadn’t gotten snubbed from the grammys, no one else would have had a chance to win.

It is criminal that this man has not received a single grammy nomination. Any little interest I had in the Grammys has come to an end today.

This is such an underrated song from After Hours.

The lyrics to this song are so so deep. The performance just meshes with it so well. I just never get bored of watching his performances.

Can we all just agree that the whole After Hour album have no bad song. Abel is just a genius

You’re the real winner of 2020❤️🎶

This actually made me cry .This guys voice is magic

Somehow the weeknd manages to make songs according to every mood I experience…. He is a once in a generation talent

how tf does he not have a single grammy nomination?! this man made a whole cinematic masterpiece!

Imagine how good this will sound in a arena concert.

this performance alone is a masterpiece

I ended up in the back of a flashing car With the city shining on my face The lights are blinding me again. This is so artistic in melody and sound and so addictive I sang this chorus all day literally

The world owes us seeing the red suit character of The weeknd with arms full of Grammys

when all the singers try to sound in the 80s style but only Weeknd does it amazing!

I keep coming back to this performance. The eerie lighting and set really brings out the right vibes for this song. So haunting and powerful!

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THATS WHY HES THE MVP THATS WHY HES THE GOAT THE GOAAAATTT

The way his eyes looked so sad and looks like he was thinking of some bad memory while singing the ending part BROKE ME 🥺

I am watching this in classes lol, but this is more important

Light a blunt up with the flame Put that cocaine on a plate Molly with the purple rain 'Cause I lost my faith So I cut away the pain, uh Got it swimming in my veins Now my mind is outta place, yeah, uh 'Cause I lost my faith And I feel everything I feel everything from my body to my soul No, no Well, I feel everything When I'm coming down is the most I feel alone No, no I've been sober for a year, now it's time for me To go back to my old ways, don't you cry for me Thought I'd be a better man, but I lied to me and to you I take half a Xan' and I still stay awake All my demons wanna pull me to my grave I choose Vegas if they offer Heaven's gate I tried to love, but you know I'd never stay I'd never stay But if I OD, I want you to OD right beside me I want you to follow right behind me I want you to hold me while I'm smiling While I'm dying And if you know me When I go missing, you know where to find me Driving down the boulevard is blinding Always blinded by the desert lights and I'm alive when I feel everything I feel everything from my body to my soul No, no Girl, I feel everything When I'm coming down is the most I feel alone No, no I lost my faith I'm losing my religion every day Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love Oh, someone I love Faith I'm losing my religion every day Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love Oh, someone I love I ended up in the back of a flashing car With the city shining on my face The lights are blinding me again I ended up in the back of a flashing car With the city shining on my face The lights are blinding me again I ended up (I ended up) In the back of a flashing car (back of a flashing car)

The sound of the sirens mixed with the music makes me feel so nostalgic I don’t know why.

"Thought I'd be a better man ...but I lied to me" - this line hits hard

It is so rare nowadays for artists to provide such a deep-rooted musical experience. There is a remarkable level of passion, honesty, and love for music in The Weeknd. This deserves a sincere and grand appreciation. Apparently, a few "experts" have chosen to ignore this. After Hours is not just a music album, it is a movie of a broken man who is being as honest as anyone.

Now that the era has ended, This IS the official mv...

Your music saved my life again .... xo

In His Own Words: You Can Find Love , Fear , Friends , Enemies , Violence , Dancing , Sex , Demons , Angels , Loneliness & Togetherness All In The After Hours Of The Night! The Weeknd XO

why is the weekend's community so respectful? like fr this is not like any other community edit: after two years looking at this i feel like this is very outadated tbh and theres a toxic part of the community that i know of so yea, but i aint seen it in awhile

“I want you to hold me while I’m smiling, while I’m dying.”

Nothing embodied addiction quite like this.

ABEL DOESN'T NEED THAT STUPID GRAMMY AWARD!!! HE'S ALREADY THE WINNER

I'm 38 and since the 90s I hadn't seen such a talented musician. A true Rockstar.

3:50 straight goosebumps, you’re a genius Abel, the world doesn’t deserve you.

"I've been sober for a year, now it's time for me To go back to my old ways, don't you cry for me Thought I'd be a better man, but I lied to me and to you I take half a Xan' and I still stay awake All my demons wanna pull me to my grave I choose Vegas if they offer Heaven's gate I tried to love, but you know I'd never stay" Gets me everytime

No discouragements from the Grammys, only pure determination for himself and his fans. True respect and love ❤️

The weeknd don't need a grammy, the grammy's need the weeknd

this song at 3 am hits different

His music is gold.

This the one I’ve been waiting for, fire.

Abel deserves the world. He have outdone what other artists could ever imagine even considering in the middle of a global pandemics. His commitment towards profession and staying consistently throughout a whole year is something that everyone should appreciate. Single-handedly he saved my qurantine and others through music. Entertaining audience through talent speaks for himself. I hope he realises how much of a great artist he is. He truly is worth much more than award shows. A true and realistic artist of our generation.XOTWOD

I never wanna see Abel on his knees again !!! 😭😭😭😭😭 stand up, king !!!

All hail Lindsay 🙌

Man he has killed these live performances, Alone Again sounded even better than the album, In your Eyes was amazing as always and now he’s killed it on Faith. He’s literally gave so much into these performances and the album during a pandemic and they still don’t wanna give my man a Grammy. He’s gonna kill the Super Bowl 🔥

I think the Grammys didn’t nominate him because he would’ve taken all the awards because of how fucking talented and amazing he is Edit: spelling

Touched every nerve from my body to my soul. "Time hasn't been kind to me, i pray."😭

Definitively in the top 3 best songs of after hours

abel, you do not need a grammys. awards are to show how much your fans appreciate you - let me tell you that we appreciate you and after hours an incredible amount. after hours is a truly amazing album lyrically + vocally. i think i speak for a lot of people when i say that after hours brought us down to an emotional level. we appreciate you being open with your fans on your album. we appreciate the cinematic experience you continue to give us. we appreciate the effort, time, and emotion you put into the album. we love you with or without a grammy.

Abel has more talent in his finger than the whole industry....XOTWOD

lindsay, thanks, I love it :')

Take care, Lindsay.

best song on the album!!!!

iconic. my favorite on the album 😭💗

abel’s performances are a whole nother level of art. every single one of them. just- no words needed.

This guy’s music is too sad but at the same time phenomenal too ! You can see and hear by his music he is hurt. 😢This video been been on repeat.

I'm 51. I've seen hard burning talent come from pain. They burn hot and quick. Dear Abel, I hope we get to keep you long enough for you to find your peace in life. You deserve peace in your life. And stop dating little girls, they are drama!

To be honest i started listening to the weeknd when his after hours came out then i only heard his Starboy song but after listening to After hours i was like this man is different then i started listening to his whole discography, i never found any song bad. Since after hours got released there isn't any day when i had not listen his music. I feel fortunate to be in an era of weeknd. Love u man🥺

This song is literally underrated.

I love Abel so much. I’ve been listening to his music since his mixtape days. I feel like while those records and his more popular ones are masterpieces in their own right, after hours in essence, is a perfect representation of the phrase “beauty is pain”. His pain is so artistically visualized through his lyrics and videos and you can tell he puts a lot of his soul into it. He is such a publicly known mystery in regards to who he is, so much so most can’t tell if these songs are from his Weeknd persona or Abel himself. To which I think is part of his genius. Point is, I don’t think there’s gonna be another like him. XOTWOD

when he says "i lost my faith" i feel that

can we talk about the emotion in his voice and face in all these performances, abel coming for the oscar

After hours era will be missed, his best.

This song. Oh man! Gives chills every time you hear it. Especially this performance.

this man reminds us what artistry and expression can look like when the vision is clear. this is the making of a true classic. everyone remembers a classic and how it made them feel, but nobody will remember who won a grammy.

The whole stadium shouting "If I OD, I want you to OD right beside me" at a concert will be one of the best feelings ever. Also, when you start touring Abel, please come to India 😖 xotwod 🖤

The Weeknd is the greatest and best vocalist,singer,musician and artist of all time ever in history and that will ever exist, and he has the greatest and best vocals,singing and voice ever of all time in history and that will ever exist.

This feels Nostalgic when we know After Hours is done
