"Not that they didn't wanted to see me they just didn't care Bc they didn't know who I was...that was earlier in my career" Kind of broke my heart when he said that
BackWoodsss exactly the music industry isnt a hand out its like all the really talented artists who never go out and wonder why nobody knows who they are
dude is NOT down to earth and humble are you fucking crazy... have you heard his songs? damn, people just dropping the "humble" on every artist they like.
@@sunnyorange180 because we already know how great of a singer he is, bro could do that while he struggles to drop a number 1 and 2 at the same time. Its not like we have to idolize him because no one sounds like him, like he is a "god" or something, musically you could say so but he's still human.
the weeknd is the only artist that i can actually say i enjoy listening to all his songs like other artists they make good songs but their others songs are sorta crappy but no the weeknd doesnt make one bad song! i enjoy EVERY one of his songs
i am so happy he isn't out there like most of the other artistes. his mystery is everything, keeps the xo fans longing for more, he shouldn't do interviews or anything, maybe major ones for like big magazines, exclusive interviews once a year.. ughh. too much love for his music, art and mystery. stay away from the cameras, your good music will keep you in the spot light. don't you forget, xo.
0:15 is it weird to be attracted to a hand? i mean, look at them... looks so clean and soft and idk, the details and stuff. kind want him to rub in my cheekbones or something
God I'm in love with this man, he can sign so well it gives me chills and he's so funny when you hear him talk. I wish I could meet him not even in a fan girl way but he seems like someone I could be friends with
That moment when you’re a huge fan and just realizing since 2013 you never heard his talking voice....idk what I expected...but I’m not sure this is it.... 🤯 It’s sooo soothing....he’s perfect!
His mysterious-side made him unique, more unique then what already is with his vocal talent. One of those things where when I was listening to his mixtapes and no one heard of him or thought his PBR&B/Alternative R&B/Indie R&B era was slow and boring, yet those same people are now bumping his pop music late to the scene.
What’s so odd is I’ve never heard him talk until today and what’s even odder is I never felt like I needed to hear his voice 😂 his voice sounds like butter smooth asf omg
I want to hear him talk more often. If he doesnt want to do interviews FINE i get it. Talk about whatever you want. About a film, about songs, music, a football game he watched. Just want to hear him talk
"Yeah, but it's live."
+pattithestranger I laughed so hard at that xD
Thanks for quoting him
Lol
😂😂😂
pattithestranger wait didn't he say it was a lot
I came hear just to hear him talk. I've never heard him talk before.

We can all agree his voice is sexy singing or not
He did an interview with rolling stone magazine and said that he's shy with the press because he didn't finish high school.

His voice is so calming.

Larissa Lopez he's Ethiopian....so am I
Aqua 93 yeah I could listen to it all day long
I’ve literally never heard his voice before this. He should do voiceovers omg 😱

If I closed my eyes and I didn't know it was him, I would've thought it was a white boi
Yep, that's how we Canadian talk.
When he smiles 😍
The most beautiful this about this guys is that... he's not fake... he's.. real. :) And his music.... Omg...I'm so done..

Lol all of them are just normal people known by the public eye😂😂😂😂😂
he's so precious, i adore him so much
No shit

I'm a huge fan of his music but I've never heard his voice like this, never seen a single interview of him. I'm not disappointed. He's a great person
i am so happy he isn't out there like most of the other artistes. his mystery is everything, keeps the xo fans longing for more, he shouldn't do interviews or anything, maybe major ones for like big magazines, exclusive interviews once a year.. ughh. too much love for his music, art and mystery. stay away from the cameras, your good music will keep you in the spot light. don't you forget, xo.
His voice is the most beautiful sound

I am in love with him.
2:17 crazy high note 🔥
God I'm in love with this man, he can sign so well it gives me chills and he's so funny when you hear him talk. I wish I could meet him not even in a fan girl way but he seems like someone I could be friends with
Not if Bella h.c as something to say about it.
The dance he did...I mean for some reason it fits HIM PERFECTLY. Like if anyone else did it, it would be weird but Abel ? Perfect
2:00 the thing he does with the mouth :D
What hol up
His voice is so charming 😍
“Yeah but it’s live” his voice 😍😭
That moment when you’re a huge fan and just realizing since 2013 you never heard his talking voice....idk what I expected...but I’m not sure this is it.... 🤯 It’s sooo soothing....he’s perfect!
when u used to download his free mixtapes and now you see him here god dam man hes come so far T_T
Same here sooo sad his no longer a secret ;(
why's that sad? that's awesome
His mysterious-side made him unique, more unique then what already is with his vocal talent. One of those things where when I was listening to his mixtapes and no one heard of him or thought his PBR&B/Alternative R&B/Indie R&B era was slow and boring, yet those same people are now bumping his pop music late to the scene.
I frikin love that dance he does
Remember it's only one show a week.
Abel:Yah but it's live
😐
His random vocalizations is funny af especially when he does it in front of his crew
I love him so much it hurts. Nothing makes me feel the way this mans voice does
shit id much rather watch the weeknd perform than justin
fucking true bruh
Dalton King He was talking about Justin Timberlake
He has the voice of an angel. He's perfect. Been a XO fan since 2011 and im so proud to be.
Wow, he seems like a really cool guy. Dunno what I was expecting but humble, smart, shy and with a kind of innocence weirdly enough
2:15 when the head is goood
Single of the year
2015 - can't feel my face
2018- Call out my name
2019 - Blinding lights
2020- After hours
he looks like a great guy to hang out with n talk to... his music is awesome too
2:19 sounds just like that part in lust for life
Void May true!
True in the last part of the song sounds the same
When Abel said "finally on snl" *brings kisses to the camera* I NEARLY FAINTED SO ADORABLE
I just wanted to what his real voice was like.
Jonathan Douglas me too😂😂
i could listen to him talk for days on end
he is so calming and sweet and just amazing i love him
this always puts a smile on my face 😍
What’s so odd is I’ve never heard him talk until today and what’s even odder is I never felt like I needed to hear his voice 😂 his voice sounds like butter smooth asf omg
He has this quiet magnetism about him, doesn't he?
So refreshing to hear an artist that can sing live!
I started tearing up from the intro 😩 this man is an angel 🙏🏽
Am i The only weird ass that caught his laugh at 1:50
Was that really him?
@@NOONE-cd4gu Yess
@@leroysmith7132 lol
He kind of sounds like Michael Jackson.
In the beginning its cool how he had so much vocal control and range. My boy abel is the best at his craft !
“ I mean that what you want right ?, you want them to be screaming ?” YES DADDY
His voice whether talk or singing is 👌❤️
Abel has a beautiful/lovely speaking voice.
I want to hear him talk more often. If he doesnt want to do interviews FINE i get it. Talk about whatever you want. About a film, about songs, music, a football game he watched. Just want to hear him talk
Awwww the weeknd looks so cute
Weird to see him sober. Stranger than his talking voice.
He's been at least sober for a long time, but he still uses drugs..
Philipizmo you just missed the whole fucking point of being “sober” 🤣🤣
I love his voice,hes so calm and brilliant! Im obsessed! XO
he said thanks for calling back that’s so cuteeee
Gosh his talking is so smooth like a fine wine that gets better with age
I knew he would make it this far he is so humble also...I still love that song to this day ❤️
U can tell that sometimes hell get shy and it's cute and funny
more interviews and recordings please. thanks. also going to finish all my huddles with my squad the way the weeknd does from now on lol
