***** oh dear. Time for an apocalypse

"sins from the pits of hell" stfu it ain't even like that people always accuse his music being dark when it's DEFF not soo stop

justinyayo16 he has quite a few that are dark thoo

+MikeyJoJo6385 I've known him literally it's not dark it's just seems tht way. he writes what happens in his life and shit

justinyayo16 you telling me Initiation isn't dark?

I listen to him every day as well! It's just addicting

Tito Muschamp i listen him non stop haha very addicting indeed

Gorl he high all the time. That's why.

lOL LOL LOL haha. :) Perhaps. :) But nah, being high makes me super happy. So idk about that.

same !! KISS LAND is my fav album

Yeah it’s also my favorite hair, it’s so abstract

It makes him standout and you’re completely hooked... in that damn voice and look 💕

Hi from 2022

SAME

they actually fade out the sound of the audience when making these types of live performance videos

yeah and you'd be that annoying ass chick lol

Mongloid TRUE

David Letterman audience not an XO audience remember that

Going on every wm talk show is a smart move to let w America a new "Prince" is here, and he's an immigrant too.

And now he impressed the world at the Super Bowl

Dude you're on everything related to the Weeknd, I love it! The man's fashion is on point every live performance its so cool

CrayCrayProds Sorry for the late reply haha but yeah, this dude is on like every playlist I have. He's the first artist I download complete works of on any new tablet, laptop, phone; he's the first artist I play whenever I test out a new music streaming service. I always keep Kiss Land and Trilogy CDs in my car in case my phone dies. Kiss Land was also one of the first vinyls that I ever bought. Oh, and when I'm on UKposts, I always find my way to a video like this lol. In fact, that's why I'm here now. I just wanted to see this video again.

Matthew Gonzales aha, no worries, and yeah same, new headphones: Adaptation is the first song to play, I really want a vinyl collection tbh, don't have a player but they'd sound so much better, and yeah, love this performance, heard 'Earned It' yet??

Matthew Gonzales damn I wonder if u still here

word up! its XO til we overdose over here

YUUUUP, that's it yo!!! XO til we overdose for sure!!!

Adam McGrath I'd doubt it, can't even tell the difference between them.

You couldn't be more wrong lol MJ would think this music is trash no offense

boondawksaints yea since he told u so rite???? or nah

i usually dont listen to r&b but this dude is my favorite singer his voice beautiful. Hes the next gen MJ

Sinnan Momin yeah hes pretty underrated.

Lauren Pool lmao the fuck? he's not underrated at all...Shout Out XO

***** Are you serious? His music should be on the radio and I never hear it on the radio

Lauren Pool his music is not played on the radio probably because of the explicit content. he is the best tho

***** It means a lot of singers don't sound that great live, but the Weeknd does. Chillax.

yes! i agree! Muhammad Mubashar

***** Actually, the weeknd sings in-between the tenor and countertenor register, which means that when he sings with his chest voice he is pretty much a high tenor (depends on the song), but when he uses his head voice (not exactly like the falsetto) he is a full blown countertenor... Historically speaking, he has the "perfect voice" because is neither a tenor nor a countertenor, but kind of best of both worlds... Really really like his voice !!!

***** It means buy a brain bitch if you didn't get his point.

no FUCKIN duh

Its awesome

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!

MJ possessed him briefly

Yes

Maybe even better. Look at The Hills, it sounds better live in my opinion.

TheJordan97971 yes it does!! He tore that song up live. Love it.

Kia Lorraine stop exaggerating. There are many artists who can sing live. Dont call him the “only” artist. I love the Weeknd but stop being biased. Have you ever heard of Bruno Mars, Sam smith, Ed Sheeran, Jacquees, Frank Ocean and many more? Duh

ֆʊɢǟʀ ֆtǟʀ im not being a snowflake. There are so many actual good artists out there who can sing live. Her saying that the weeknd is the ONLY one is just a pile of shit. There are differences between opinions and facts. You are being blinded, snowflake. I am a huge Weeknd fan myself but he clearly is not the only one who can sing live.

Prabin Gautam Shut up nigga

youngbeezy96 the kissland era was the best

youngbeezy96. I like the beauty behind the madness era hairstyle the most

bharani dharan the version was cool but the front was uneven tho

Yeah now it’s too simple while in the BBTM it was a little too much honestly. This is great

Same, it was the right amount, but the BBTM era hair was out of control lol

Even david letterman felt a good vibe from the weeknd...probably one of his best memories before he retired

@@ChrisSerpas1 no way i actually never knew

@@Hadi.Hussein They chopped the drums from the Collins song

@@staigenerator2949 mad

Fucking killed it 🔥🔥

out of tune

@@ksksdjjd2254 not at all

@@ksksdjjd2254 you need to get your ears checked up mate 😂

How old? is old AF

My mom is 48 and she love The Weeknd especially his older work.

Listen to playboi carti, lil uzi vert, future

I'm 21 and he's the only trendy artist I follow

@@Yeaok04 not bad but for older people that’s to much electricity sound they like real talent like a good singing voice more then a good beat which I also care more for a good singing voice then beats but don’t get me wrong I do love Travis Scott but still I can’t deny he has way less talent then a singer

He'd never thought in 7 years he would be in the best halftime show in history

@@Daberry1515-zb6sk no way, look at how shy and humble he is here compared to the incredible confidence performing yesterday. Insane. Anyone who says that performance was terrible doesn't deserve to have an opinion on music.

@@melosivitch if someone says that halftime show was terrible they are on crack

@@Daberry1515-zb6sk facts

shawaniea truly every song would sound even better

Yes! Like MTV unplugged

r

On god

Yess

Mubashar Ayub you are one lucky son a bitch then

Lip syncing *

I don't think anyone is questioning that, or is ever going to question it.................

Doesn’t even sound close to perfect enough to be synced

@@FMDedits hey

Yes agreed👌

Its flawless

@@alejmelo1360 it is indeed

Abel é incrivel,único ...👏👏👏👏👏

jennifer kafka Weeknd is such a wildcard in live performances, some are just awesome and other are awful (feel it coming in la example)

You are not the only, going back to this after yearsss

@@InterCR7 Ik ur comment is old asf but I completely agree with u lmaooo

Same

You listen to this and thought this was mid lmao

Fr. It's for real music lovers.

Stop saying King/Queen and stop comparing like people compare for example Nicki and Iggy just love everything for what it is or don't like it for what it is omgggggggggggggg #killmealready

jakejawsmusic I honestly have no idea what the point of the reply was. I am confused already but I apologize that I hear similarities between MJ and Abel.

Thad White What I'm saying is that people put people in different sections and divide everyone instead of just appreciating the music for music and be grateful that you enjoy it. People divide artists that have similarities and start comparing them like the artist is a religion. This shit bugs me.

jakejawsmusic then you must not understand hum nature very much considering everything is departmentalized. Genres, subgenres, classes. Everything man.

Thad White such a shame :D instead you can have fun but naah people want their ego to get in their wayzxzxz

This comment aged like the finest wine

Hariz Nasir x🖤O

Comment still aged very well

hahahahaha😂

😂😂😂😂

lol

lmfao dead asf 😂😂😂 he still looked sexy tho😋😋

chastity it was to let his band know he was continuing to the next verse 🙄

It's lip synced, therefore it is studio.

Alex Puddister You must never been to one of his live concerts.

He back tracks his songs, so that he hardly has to sing. True stage performance is a dying art

Alex Puddister That's your opinion and all I have to say is he is still successful no matter what you say.

Money and success isn't what being a musician/singer is about

the king of the fall tour or music video? because during the tour he wore that dope clip vest

The two blue north face jackets in the music video! The clip vest was cool but he wears too much dark clothing!

Maybe he realized it made him look like a fuckboy

+Kira sj Because black on black on black clothing looks fucking incredible man.

+Kira sj "I'm never rockin white, I'm like a racist"

His inner MJ slipping out

mj in the flesh

?

No, nobody can come close to Michael Jackson

I'd say first and second. Echoes of Silence has too many bangers DD, Montreal, XO/The Host, Outside, Next, The fall, Initiation, Same Old Song

And now he is most streamed artist or something. Living legend

W prediction

are you going to the KOTF show in Brooklyn sept19?

Chris Glavan i am! fuck row f5

Did you see him yet?

Look at the way he moves; how he used his hands and feet... you can clearly tell he is on some MJ stuff peace

Yes it is inspired by MJ. In fact, he's one of his biggest inspirations.

Listen to his cover of Diana by MJ. You will be like WOAH lol

why take it the wrong way? I makes sense :) UGH i wish he was still with us so he could collab with Abel

ganyalf Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars and Frank Ocean are my inspirations, Justin Timberlake in some degree too.

It's not a band.

Wow They still think he’s a band

Anon so what if it was 4 years old , you’re here , aren’t you ? Let’s all just enjoy the video.

What about phil Collins?

Andrea Torres mans referring to the live band the weeknd has a backing band that plays with him
