Review: The Weeknd shows weaknesses in San Francisco
http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_26709034/review-weeknd-shows-weaknesses-san-francisco
San Francisco digs The Weeknd. And the feeling is most definitely mutual.
"Every time I come here, the venues just get bigger and bigger," The Weeknd said to the capacity crowd at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. "I think we're going to have a long-term relationship."
That's yet to be seen. Sure, the relationship is off to a great start -- with The Weeknd (aka, R&B crooner Abel Tesfaye) pulling bigger crowds each time through the City by the Bay. And it's in a good spot right now, with the artist selling out a two-night stand — Friday and Saturday — at the 7,000-capacity civic well in advance.
Yet, it's unclear if The Weeknd has what it takes to keep our attention in the future. The concert on Friday definitely underscored that this red-hot Canadian artist has some holes in his game.Of course, it might not be fair to try and gauge his career trajectory at this point. He only has one full-length studio album to his credit -- last year's "Kiss Land" -- so it's really hard to say what he might be like as a performer a few years down the road.As of right now, however, The Weeknd is short on good songs, stage presence and a game plan for putting on a wholly enjoyable show. He's not nearly as interesting in concert as he is in the studio.

The Weeknd has benefitted greatly from being the face of PBR&B, the trendy brand of hipster-approved R&B that takes its name from -- of all possible things -- Pabst Blue Ribbon ("PBR") beer. His career has also been aided by his association with Drake, the hip-hop superstar who helped introduce The Weeknd to the masses by featuring him on the 2012 single "Crew Love." He'd go on to add guest vocals to works by Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J and others.The show got off to a memorable start, with only The Weeknd's face shown -- in roughly the same dimensions as a motorhome -- on a large screen in the back of the stage. It was a very Orwellian moment, as if some kind of "big brother" was appearing before us to croon slow jams.
Once he actually appeared onstage -- with the rest of his body in tow -- and began singing "What You Need," the show quickly grew less interesting. He seemed to shrink under the bright lights, unable to conjure up any type of real star power.
He's got a decent enough voice, but it was less impressive live than on record. He really needs all the production elements found in the studio to shine. In all, those oft-repeated comparisons to Michael Jackson don't hold much water.
The capacity crowd might disagree with that assessment. The audience definitely seemed to enjoy the show, singing along to his songs with gusto. That's really not surprising — he certainly is one of the biggest new artists to come along in quite some time in R&B.
The highlights of the show included his take on the Beyonce smash "Drunk in Love," which was one of the few truly sexy moments of the evening, as well as his well-known single "Wicked Games."
The concert also featured two intriguing opening acts -- Jhene Aiko and ScHoolboy Q.
Aiko kicked things off with her Sade-like set of warm R&B and silky soul from her debut studio album, "Souled Out." The 26-year-old L.A. artist is lumped in with the PBR&B crew, but her sound is more classic than contemporary. The setting was a bit too big for her,
especially with fans still filing in. It would be great to get to see Aiko in a club or theater environment.ScHoolboy Q was next up and once again underscored all the reasons why he's one of the most exciting new talents in hip-hop. He was a force on the microphone, rapping over a curious, catchy assortment of beats and samples, as he showcased material from "Oxymoron," which is the front-runner for best hip-hop album of the year.
ScHoolboy was definitely a hit with the fans, who arguably showed more enthusiasm -- and definitely more energy -- for the rapper than they even did for the headliner. The only knock was that the sound was too distorted and bass heavy, even by hip-hop standards, for much of his set.
