You gotta see a show if you can
Life changing s***
How is he the best live performer when he can't dance and his vocals aren't exactly the best...?
You must be confused and thinking of Drake
abel is not that great as performer tbh and there are much better performers today, in pop field specifically. stans can run with that great performer narrative how much they want, but when it comes to singing live abel often can be very limited and has no clue how to operrate in low register (which is kinda strange). just look how big the difference between his live performances and vocalists like roland orzabal and morten harket, who he tried to replicate in those new wavey songs. the contrast should be sobering even for the stans
but in general that's a big progress for him. especially if we took his performances before 2016 i guess
Wrong (if u mean career wise then u right)
He honestly hits all the points Kanye has but Ye’s grip on the culture and youth in general keeps him ahead imo. I’m sure the Yeezy brand at this point def plays into it but hey the brand name is valuable for a reason.
What were u referring to though? Weeknd is still up there with mainstream artists still taking their craft and execution seriously. He has that over post 2016 Ye for sure
You’re saying this as he’s currently embarking on a sold out stadium tour
Also the album is doing fine, it just had a subpar first week for reasons out of his control. It will be platinum by year’s end.
https://twitter.com/theweekndstatz/status/1551057706928246784If you exclude Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears (two astronomically huge songs plus the remix features Ariana Grande), Dawn FM is overall outstreaming After Hours as of recent.
Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears give it the edge, but those are two ridiculously huge songs, you can’t expect any artist to make songs as big as those on every single project.
Excluding those two mega-hits… Sacrifice, Out of Time, Is There Someone Else?, Moth to a Flame, and Take My Breath are outstreaming every single song on After Hours
Only weak link on Dawn FM were the features, everything else top tier

I enjoyed both features, but I agree, if there’s one aspect of the album I’d say is the weakest it’d be that

Just as a pure artist wise. music, performing, execution, mv’s, storytelling (post 2016)
If u talking about grip on the culture/youth and overall artist, thats obv kanye
Currently I agree
Even though the Dawn era didn’t really blossom into a experience like AH between the music, videos, tour it’s all so great
His vocals are insane live
He has the best vocals in the game , dude is primo uno hater
Beyoncé about to put out a better album and go on a better tour. I even have GaGa above Abel.

Mbdtf still the best rap album but trilogy the best album of all time
OP managed to trigger Kanye, Drake, and Frank Ocean fans in one thread. That's gotta be a record.

Fair enough
He’s okay, S.
Honestly part of me wants to come in here saying a pop star can’t be the best artist in the world but tbh he has a pretty good argument, and I’ve liked his last two projects a lot despite not being a big fan of The Weeknd before
I gotta see him live some time
