Y’all complaining about Heartless? This man is floating on this.

Seriously what the f*** are y’all smoking

his voice is fine, during trilogy + kissland there used to be hella effects+ vocal tracks layered with each other making his voice sound fuller

maybe we just all hear music differently

LA girls

nope. This is better and more natural

ur deaf u wasteman

He got so much more power behind his voice now, got nostalgia for that one performance though

Thread full of trash takes it’s getting crazy out here.

he’s a way better performer now

this isn’t even a debate it’s consensus

Hhis 2018 coachella perfomance was stellar. Look at Privelege live too right after COMN and listen to the notes he holds. He's a better performer than he ever was

I get what your saying tho, his voice sounds kinda deeper in some regards, but that's because it's more full and has more power now. More control. His voice has just been trained

As opposed to his more raw, off pitch at times, younger voice where he'd strain for certain notes

Also older now, and likely on alot less d****

F*** outta here

Thank you. These mfs have no idea what they’re on about

nah he's still an amazing singer. it's true that he sounds different in songs than he used to tho, it's probably because his voice gets mixed differently now and has more effects bc he's a superstar compared to back in trilogy/kiss land when it was more raw sounding

i been here since the weeknd thread u goof. stfu and go listen to j cole with ur mediocre ass

if anything he's improved & its obvious with the live performances

this

people just love to complain about anything

hes less rnb and more pop. its the saddest thing i had to accept. he doesnt do his legendary vocal runs anymore like he used to. or stretch his range in his verses. its less passionate, but a cleaner vocal performance for radio play. none of his new fans are tryna hear him go AYYYYYYEYEYEYE for 5 minutes.its main thing i miss from trilogy era.

his voice is stilll amazing but i miss when his vocals were the birds pt 1/2 and outside level, next etc. he was def channeling prince. now hes channeling MJ.

yea u right, he had vocal lessons. and he be going hard live. just wish he can translate that into the studio again. even more then him being experimental. i just wanna hear those OOOOOOOWAOOAAJHHH

like that part on the zone "and i dont give a DAAAAAAAMMMMNNNNNNNN. i felt alone for too long... OOHHHHH, OH YEAAA. anD I DONT FEEL A DAMNTHAAANNGGG" he dont do that in the stu no more.

O s*** it’s Dior

on Heartless he literally sounds the best he sounded since starboy lmao.

im confused you guys make a post about his vocals now instead when power is power or lost in the fire dropped. These 2 tracks are some of the worst weeknd's vocals ever.

and i don't understand this comparison of trilogy and later s***.
he literally sounds the same

like literally comn and heaven or las vegas are so similar when it comes to vocal work

he just over uses a lot of the same track patterns. and he LOVES using his falsetto in the same note on like 75% of his hooks.

most of these newer tracks, although pretty good in my opinion, are carried a lot more by production than his actual voice.

MDM was a change of pace, but he went back to the Starboy esque sounds again on this.

i could literally make a comparison post of his vocal work.
im so f***ing perplexed by this thread LMAOO
