katchitup Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 I just saw The Weeknd in concert last night........HE WAS AMAZING! I had really high expectations and he exceeded them 10 fold. He sounded EXACTLY like his tracks, somehow better?! (He was definitely not lipsyncing and it wasn't a special mic or anything). There was like a 20 seconds between some songs but otherwise he was singing for almost 2 hours straight (it was a long show! :dance: Loved that. ) And he didn't sound out of breath or anything. The set and the lights and graphics were super sweet, cool as hell, with bomb ass lights and fucking fire.. The people who played guitar and drums were awesome too, I wonder if they will join him on the show. Everyone screamed for an encore and he came out and did another song Just so ya'll know. He is going to be the best thing about the VSFS this year FOR SURE And if you ever get a chance to see the Weeknd in concert DO IT. The amount of talent he had was incredible, one of the best live singers I've ever heard, and the best concert I've ever seen ever. :dance: Quote
katchitup Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 He got an Oscar nom for "Earned it" http://pitchfork.com/news/62900-antony-the-weeknd-sam-smith-straight-outta-compton-amy-morricone-nominated-for-oscars/ Quote
Limerlight Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Everytime a song comes on a pop radio station here someone HAS to point the fact that a Canadian made the music. Like we live in Canada we already know. Except me who found out from my sister and then when I was out somewhere they had a pop station on and I heard a song and they said it to. PS: I don't listen to Pop but everywhere I go someone brings it up if they listen to pop Quote

PS: I don't listen to Pop but everywhere I go someone brings it up if they listen to pop It's worse if you talk to anyone from Toronto. They gotta bring up that Drake and Abel are THEIRS and no one else's. They're extra special Canadians because they're from the 6! Have to second Katchy though. Saw him in concert and he was amazing. His voice was perfect, and his stage show was really impressive. Quote
Clauds Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm so glad he got the nomination for Earned It, even tho he's going to lose to Gaga I love Earned It so so much, I'm hoping they will have all the singers so he sings it live Quote
Clauds Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 He's performing at the Oscars next month! Probably Earned it Quote
