I will see say when you write your own shyt, you get a pass when it comes to your vocal abilities.

Taylor Swift can't sing for shyt either but she writes her shyt so she gets a pass.
:mjlol: Max Martin is writing both Taylor's and the Weeknd's Hit records

Being a great singer doesnt mean you make music people want to listen to. Everyone isn't Luther or Whitney.

The Weeknd is a very good singer

You guys love this moves when y'all dont fukk with an artist. Think that his fame and acclaim is do to the production. Production has never meant more than what an artist does with the production.

I can give BJ the Chicago kid the same production as the Weeknd and he would still be where he is at.

HIs vocals are good enough, have you ever seen him live? No one is analyzing that shyt like that.. you just want to hear your favorite songs live and sing with the artist.

Visual Masterpiece :dahell: fukk you talking about?

When u list great artist, Abel is not in the convo.

His vocals are subpar... Think Rihanna.. His performances are lackluster... And he ain't even easy on the eyes (which is I why I said, visual masterpiece he is not.)

as a person who indulges in music and plays a few instruments, I can tell you that there ARE ppl who analyze and dissect it from top to bottom. A lot, actually. The consensus usually is he is just simply, not good.

I get it, though. He's catchy. He's edgy. He's got a pawg, but that music shyt is NOT his forte. glad the guy got a hustle. I can't hate on that.

Look at all these people who I don't fukk with/have on ignore "viewing" this thread. :dame:
How did you get off ignore? U were blocked by the entire coli :skip:

You sound stupid. No one cares if you plays instrument or talk to people that dissect music.

Your ears aren't better than anyone elses.

This thread isn't even what you think about his music.

I can't believe nobody has brought up the release dates:

FHD: Released December 9, 2014
BBtM: Released August 28, 2015

We're talking almost 9 months difference in sales. Compare their total sales numbers 9 months from now when they've both effectively atrophied sales.
