      Julian T
      By doing the bleeping in US/ UK TV shows they emphasise these words even more and it's well sort to say strange. Kids ill want to know why they bleep and find out anyway. And anything which is not allowed as a kid you find cool and you will want to do.. so in fact it has the opposite effect i think...

      Michael Jackson and Weeknd are in totally different lanes. Weekend can sing but Michael is an entertainer. He sings and dances and not to mention their styles are way different. Not a good comparison in my opinion. People are so quick to compare random artists to Michael or Prince. The weeknd is a good artist, not taking that away from him, he's just the same caliber of talent as Michael Jackson.

      You do realise that their are (autotune) effects on his mic because they want to do it as close as the studio version. It's not because an artist uses it that they can't sing. Of course there are a lot of artists that overdo it, not the weeknd, but he still uses it. Please learn the concept of autotune.

      I just wish the lyrics were better. They're OK, but they don't make me feel anything, they inspire nothing, they're not clever, they're not funny, they're not anything. Most of it is pretty generic. If the lyrics were good, this song would be amazing.

    • @bmoney2011
      @bmoney2011 Před 7 lety +3

      bad news fellas:
      1. This is a performance on a t.v. show. Performances on broadcast television have for over 40 years used backing tracks and suites of effects to replicate the studio recording as much as possible. This isn't due to lack of talent from the performers, it's a marketing play to get people to consume the music more.
      2. Every performer for the last 30 years has used "Auto-Tune" (here having the meaning of any software that does pitch correction). Live, Studio recording, any time. They all do it. Again, it has little to do with the actual talent of the artist and everything to do with wanting to put forth the cleanest sounding product so more people will consume it. It's simply another tool in the tool box, though like any it can be abused and overused.

      saadat faiz I know he is successful and off course he has other reasons to be confident but as an artist he is probably pretty happy to have Daft Punk produce hes music. They allow more creative freedom than most producers since they are also artists and they know how to do things right. I mean for some people who like how they produce. It's not easy to get them either. They have only produced a few tracks besides their own.
      But how their co-writing and producing this song makes it better or not is a matter of taste. I think it stands out from hes other music.

      His notes are within a tenors range , it’s nothing abnormal it’s totally common. He often doesn’t even hit the high notes live this is why he has the backing track go louder when the high notes come .
      His voice sounds cool in a way but when you train a singer you often train to not sound so small but for pop it’s ok. Point is his voice isn’t difficult to replicate for a tenor

    this music marked a before and after in my life. Thanks Weeknd from Argentina. It hurts that not many here appreciate good music.
