The Weeknd could be a star if he wasn't so weird

[JMurder]

Nah, you were right. According to the OP anyway. He always had the voice. Switched up to more Traditional RnB/Pop and he got even bigger.

Can't Feel My Face and "Earned It" don't sound like OG Abel songs. You were right.

Often does sound like OG Abel though.

His image remains though.

He ain't switch it up on nobody.

already platinum

On top of this his "weirdness" is the thing that creates his originality, creativity, marketability and thus sales

if he wasn't weird he'd be generic, boring, broke and forgotten

WELP!!!

I'll be surprised if he has a better career than Lyfe Jennings.

Weeknd cool, one of my fav new artists actually, but honestly that nikka is just a fad. He is already starting to burn out. nikka dont got the personality or the looks for longevity. We will not be talking about his ass 5 years from now.

Dammmmmn BRUH!!!! Not you!!!

I don't like his music but that new commercial he has with apple music is trippy as hell

Funny ass thread to read in hindsight

OVO is under Warner Bros. Every label has to start somewhere.


Oh and the Weeknd will do numbers simply due to a lot of people here saying he has no buzz. Artists on the-coli who are declared to have no buzz or a dying buzz have a 90% success rate. It's quite ridiculous to see people still questioning an artist's buzz as if this site has any measure of this.

It never fukkin fails
