Dominos Killer which Abel fan isn’t
On repeat
Blinding lights is what I'm vibing with rn.
Who isn’t 😳🤦♀️
I cant believe he actually thought of himself as unattractive
Right ~😩
That is a sign of genius, keep telling themself not smart/capable/beautiful there always bigger fish.. while the idiot one keep telling they're in the centre of the world.
@@gobzanuff5078 thx
@@gobzanuff5078 You misspelled feminist.
😭😭
Abel’s speaking voice is so sexy and calming, I wish he’d speak to us more often🥺🥰🥰
He’s Justin Bieber in a disguise. Same speaking voice. You’re welcome
yea he sounds very alike to Justin B don't you think?
Isn't it Justin Bieber that sounds like The Weeknd? I mean he is younger than Abel
@@cambee3070 this is wild lol
I agree 👀😞✊🏻
Homeless to Forbes List
Yoooooh steeeeeeeezy!!!!!!
Steezy, what's up?
Goat
Yooh g
these niggas bring no stress
XO till I die. Abel is one of the best artists of all time.
The best artist of all time
He isn't 🙄
@@robigk6872 let people have their opinion
@@robigk6872 numbers don't lie. He's the #1 artist on Spotify.
❌⭕ till we overdose
The Weeknd is definitely a hit maker but he is highly underrated as an artist
Dremmz honestly, especially his old music
Addi N. Nah man, all of his music is good
No cap
People overuse underrated. He is definitely not underrated. Stupid
Flex L fr
His music changes with his look.
Zamora Pakalolo hardly surprising
Both are mood-based
How it can be possible
Robin Singh Every album is a Chapter in his life. So every chapter he changes up his style and hopes his fans will still be there after he releases them.
@BLINK BLINK sad that happened to Kanye :,(
That’s his way of going through a different Era.
The weeknd is so secretive that's probably why he is so underrated. He keeps his life very private
@@rosslynkargbo5170 u trash
Ik thats smart if you ask me
he expresses himself through his music, if you wanna know more about him then you'd need to listen to his music iykwim
@@rosslynkargbo5170 you’re a hater dude why? Just chill and vibe
No cap
At some point in his life, The Weeknd was Trevor Noah lol
You saw that too?? 😂 😂 😂
I was literally thinking of commenting how similar they look then saw this comment!
Wait ..so he’s not?
What did u mean
Can't got u
Im from Ethiopia and and im proud of ABEL TESFAYE to see him in this position
🇪🇹
Yessir that’s the best part 🇪🇹
He didn’t even bring up the fact he liked prince too
Lopez Adrian you know they both sold his soul
@@meowdalachow7932 please don't come here with that crap
Lopez Adrian he’s the biggest Prince stan
@@meowdalachow7932 yup yup,both of em did,prince and the weekend/Justin Bieber💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Didn’t Abel mention that he looked up to prince not Michel ~ cuz in the beats interview the guy asked him that if he’s inspiration was Michel and he said no ~ prince
He denied the insecurities to the interviews already, he specifically said that he didn’t do them because his music was the thing that answers the questions
can you source this I recall him saying it was because he thought people think less of him when speaks because he dropped out of school in the rolling stone interview
@@yara-vb5fm i actually thought it was bc it was more of a marketing technique...keeping the ominous image and fans want more and more
@@bestmoments5877 that’s it.
I went to middle school and high school with him, he was very shy back then and nerdy. I think he dropped out in like grade 11 because I didn't see him after that. I don't think anyone anticipated he'd get this famous.
Did he do a lot of drugs I heard that he did?
I just found out that he is 1 month older then me lol
@@ejigthompson4645 did you watch the video at all?
You’re joking aren’t you?
@@mancave10369 no I’m not.
I think this before he was famous wasn’t enough
We don't really have much info on him
he’s extra extra extra private so i think everything we have is everything we’ll ever get
Even his speaking voice is crazy. It’s like his voice is lightly singing when he speaks
No one out there does it like him. Yes he sounds similar toMichael Jackson but there’s no one out there doing it like him now
Other than Michael Jackson
Obviously correct
His idol is Michael. I bet he wouldn't do it the way he does without Michael. I love Michael and Abel equally ❤
A lot of new facts i wasnt aware of here. His teenage drug abuse history is sad. It explains his low life image, drug addicts are often narcissistic. And then to get kicked out and dumped into a Toronto alternative highschool must have made him feel more of a reject. Those schools are full of unruly, depressing children who were abused at home and mostly live at group homes. He definently turned his life around. I hope he visits that alternative highschool to share some encouraging words to those students.
He still is heavily on drugs. They are his first true love. He loves them more than women b/c he feels they will always be there for him like no women ever could. They will never judge him. Almost all his songs are drug related. For instance just take any of his songs and instead of thinking he is talking about a woman, insert a drug. That is what his music is really about. His struggle with normal relationships involving women. And how drugs are always there for him when he needs them.
reppin for that low life
I love the weekend honestly .Hes so mysterious and secretive it’s really alluring.He should get more hype I feel like he’s underrated .
not sure underrated comment.. literally top monthly listeners in the world. def not an underdog
"I didn't like the way I looked on camera." Get outta here Abel!!!
Factss
He’s the most talented lyricist out here hands down he’s made so many good songs
Junior Cortez relax buddy he’s good but he only writes songs about fucking girls and taking drugs. He’s an amazing artist and Kiss Land is one of my favourite albums but you’ve got to be stupid if you think he’s better than Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, etc. it’s just the objective truth.
ALVARØ RUBIØ that’s ur own opinion buddy
@@A1varoRubio2004 You can't compare an R&B artist to a rapper
Music doesn't work that way
Justin Bieber is The Weeknd in blackface makeup and prosthetics. He didn’t even bother changing his speaking voice
@@cambee3070 What are you talking about? LOL how in the world is that so?
He's not insecure. He's just very thoughtfull
Anyone here after the half time show
Ayeee
yuppp
He is releasing Blinding Lights today or some other new song!🔥
He’s dropping a Mercedes Benz commercial featuring Blinding Lights and officially releasing the song on Spotify & Apple Music at midnight
yeah i know
Valerie Tesfaye feat.blindibg lights wow u stoopid
And that’s exactly why he “updated”, this video lol. I hate that he says he “never updates them”, when he does. Especially when a certain personal is attracting a lot of attention, exhibited a) The Weeknd releasing new music lol
Lil Vortex What?
Just came here to see how a legend is born
I love that his music has a nostalgic 1980s syth pop sound and feel. Makes me feel like a teenager again when I hear it, especially "Blinding Lights".
Why is your voice so damn aggressive??? Lmao oh my God 😂
DeAja “we don’t update them aGAIN” child my ears broke LMFAO
🤣🤣🤣
You like it girl. I'll pull your hair too
He’s so damn loud. I have my volume on low and it sounds like it’s at full volume
@@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen haha I'm glad it's not only me!
The Weeknd has and always been inspired me to go on with my life I had my darkness days and The Weeknd is my role model
Then so is Justin Bieber because it’s the same person. Please wake up people you’re all being deceived
Cam Bee I never liked Justin Bieber
@@cambee3070 Lol u gay 😳?
Been hearing him since 8th grade I’m 22 now man I love this dude !!!! Great artist!
No wonder why he sounds like Mike some time and signed Nav because their back ground is real street real gritty
All I hear is Justin Bieber.
Dirty diana
D.D
I love how the video starts off with Michael. Both Michael and Abel have a special place in my heart that no one can replace
Wicked Games is and will always be my all time favorite song....and one hell of a panty dropper 🔥
That’s Justin Bieber in disguise
@@cambee3070 what?
fleurie yle check my vids and read through the comments. We are trying to wake you guys up
it's the Beibs!!!!
Party monster is better
So inspirational. Thank you for making these videos!
I MISS WHEN THE WEEKND FIRST CAME OUT 🥺
Why
@@garouthedemon7401 Hos older music slaps harder
RoyalToonz well it still exists
@@Ben-oc6te Exactly, I never understood this argument lol. If you like his old stuff, just listen to it. A good artist doesnt just make the same kind of art over and over again.
He’s gay? LMAOOO nvm
Weekend , Nav and Young thug was those once in a lifetime interviewer
Who cares about Nav
Hecatrice Nav is The Weeknd’s son foh
@@Chrisc0Disc0 He's a terrible artist
Hecatrice y’all sleep on NAV
*weeknd
One of the greatest legend of our generation
thank you for including his ethiopian background, great video!
I love the way you update every 2 years about him 🙏🏽
I know this guy since 2012, honestly (not 2011, cause I got to know him when Trilogy vinyls were the best selling in my town), and since then he's been a very mysterious guy. Now I've been thinking of buying the Trilogy vinyl so that I can die peacefully.
this literally shows he went from nothing to the top
Looks like he hasnt peaked too
@@moisesojeda5647 you sure?
@@heyjane8419 He's peaking on his next album after that he will decline because of his age, he already has made several magnus opus but i think it's the next one.
@@auguste573 laugh out loud
Started from the bottom now we’re here. ❤The Weeknd
Love this new format!
I’ve loved him since 2012 yet this seems to make me love him more 🤷♀️
Wow, comming from 1992, i knew the vibe straight away, guess thats why it always hits home so much.
Iv'e been told i sing pretty good but never really thought of doing it publicly, only really when i'm at work.
Weekend and MJ influenced me to not be worried about hitting high notes and going all in.
It's a great feeling to experience the vocals in songs that make your hair stand on end, it's another to be able to do it to your own self by singing. Feels pure.
Also Lanna Del Ray
The weekend be looking like tigres Del Norte on the thumbnail
😂😂😂😂
Mannnn
He was influenced by a lot of Ethiopian artists like Aster Aweke !!!!!
Agree that's fact
Fax
I so happy to be part Ethiopian.
“ Do Bob Marley after they were gone.” Please
that's an easy one.... Obama
King Kalvin Aquarius gang ♒️
“ Do Jean-Michel Basquiat .
Before they were gone please.”
King Kalvin he’d have to learn how to pronounce his name first
Oh this should be a good one! Love this guy.
That’s Justin Bieber in blackface!!! Wake up people! I have vids on this
@@cambee3070 lol maybe huh
There’s no maybe about it. They are deceiving us
@@cambee3070 What do you mean?
Cam Bee wack
Yess needed this !!
As a huge Weeknd fan, this video was amazing dawg
the weeknd could sing about cockroaches and id still be in love 😭
Lol Yes
His father just up and leaving him is very sad. But Abel is a star now, I wonder how his father feels about that.
It’s about time ❤️
He look so much like trevor noah omg!!!😂
Prolly is he also is justinbeiber in a blackface
They wear masks. That's why he looks like Trevor Noah. 😂
No.. Trevor Noah looks like him 😅
@@tedrostrails however, Chance the Rapper and Evan Ross are playing Trevor Noah. 🤷♀️
@@tedrostrails he's older y'know
so proud of this mannn🥺🤧!
This dude fucking rocks every song he sings is a master piece!!!!!!💯💯
Very informative
Love your videos
Thanks. We put a lot into them
06:14 The voice of an angel.
Song name ?

Song name is Weeknd - The Party & The after party :)
You can definitely here the inspiration from Michael Jackson in his music
Junayd A.A I mean D.D. Is literally a cover of dirty Diana by micheal Jackson lol

DOPE! XO CHECKIN IN!

Something in the water our there in Toronto man. Been hearing some amazing music come from out of there.
The Weeknd : Comes back and everyone goes crazy
Before they were famous : TIME TO MAKE A VIDEO ON HIM BECAUSE OF THE PUBLICITY HES GETTING
well yeah
I saw him life and his music has so much emotion.
I didnt know my video clip would appear in this (1 guy 1 Jar reaction)! LMAO but I figured since you do not play when it comes to these videos. Good JOB
I subscribed you bcoz of the weeknd...yeah huge fan of him
He used the song "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" to find his voice as a child...
This gives me so much hope that there is a recording of a matured Abel remixing that song like he did Dirty Diana😯
The Most beautiful face and heart all in one this is what has made the world love him ❤❤
Nice video
Great job bro XOTWOD
He is jegna of my generation. Big love and Respect ❣️
We need another oneee
I love this man so much 🖤

🕊❤Beautiful awesome video a blessing 🥰thank you for sharing is caring awesome beautiful legend Prince Weeknd🤴⭐❤🕊 shiny⭐ star⭐ forever blessed god bless you always and forever❤💫❤💫❤🕊
thank u bless u
i’m not a weeknd fan but he’s definitely a living legend😎
he deserves more awards
I still remember hearing The Morning on Sirius XMU for the first time back in the day, I've been a huge fan ever since.
The way he says those words make me an xooooo
Been a fan o him since 2014 that feels like soo long I’m going to his concert in Omaha can’t wait holy crap xo and also rip to my life idol juice man
THE GREATEST MUSIC ICON EVER 🔥❤️
So handsome, so talented, loves Prince. I mean...😍😍😍 I loved his teeth before he had them done too.
Here after the incredible performance at the superbowl!
No one can be like Michael Jackson
But Abel the Weeknd is going to be the artist who can be compared closest to legend .
Not unless Michael's son grow's up and began to sing and do a job. I'm an older fan of The weeknd I wish he come up with a song now and if he has could someone let me know. This guy I love to hear an up dated song.
