2687726, The Weeknd - Live at Coachella

Horrible? One bad performance after another. SMH. Vocal coach?

It's like he and Frank Ocean are fighting for worst performer of the year award.

2687727, didn't watch the clip yet but as much as i love dude's music

i get the idea he's not a great performer lol
his music is very dependent on a lot of effects that you can't really duplicate on stage
i'll watch later.
2687730, Pretty much a studio singer. Same with Frank Ocean.

It's like the cool version of the Rebecca Black story.

When Kesha and Rebecca Black can outsing you. Whew.

When your entire band basically leaves. Whew.

haha.

At this point even Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose is on their level.
2687733, ...& i'd have been sleeping @ Coachella.

dont get the hype abt this guy @ all

2687735, man you read my mind I swear I was just saying that...

snoozeville records.

the fact that it's amatuer night in front of thousands is pure comedy.

2687740, at least he didn't perform off his jumpdrive

ass much shit this site gives d'angelo, studying his favorites makes for a better live show.
2687754, Frank performed with a 3piece jazz trio - still sucked badly. haha

as far as D'angelo - I'm not giving him a mountain of props for doing something he's supposed to be able to do. I mean... hey.

These two make TLC & Color Me Bad look like the Temptations.

Damn.
2687748, him and frank are pure studio magic right now.

whoever gets their live show up first is gonna stack major.
2687753, I have to disagree - not being able to perform a lick doesn't translate

into people being interested in studio gimmicks.

You either got it or you don't.
