Yesterday, elusive singer-songwriter The Weeknd came out from hiding to perform an hourlong set at Coachella 2012 festival.
During the set, Abel Tesfaye ran through cuts including “Crew Love,” 
“Wicked Games,” “Dirty Diana” and “Glass Table Girls.” According to L.A. Times, he performed mostly with a full band and “filled with atmospheres pulled out of shadows and beats that split the difference between modern hip-hop and bedroom soul.”
The Toronto, Canada singer recently announced his first U.S. tour, which began with his performance at Coachella. He will next appear at Brooklyn, New York’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 25th.

thank you for talking about an R&B singer on a hip hop site. That is exactly what I come here for
who forced you to click this link and read the article and watch the video? go blame yourself you tool.
^^ Perhaps I clicked on the link looking for the relevance to Hip hop. When I didn’t find it, I commented you fucking simpleton.
don’t pretend that hip hop and r&b don’t go together you naive individual
Planet of the apes looking nigga.
yes, this guy is on some ogre shit
Damn yall analyzing dude’s face kinda hard. Guess yall both like taking poop-dicks in the butt.
this dude is trash..i rather listen to ‘the dream’ and why call yourself ‘the weekend’? wtf?
another guy thought up the name when they were a group but this nigga got an ego and stole that shit for himself
it’s pronounced “the weakened”.. and this nikka crushes the dream shit any day
Dream>Weeknd
Rather the Weeeknd than some MJ wannabe biting dance moves and mediocre singing heartthrob.
Sounds like amateur Michael Jackson karoake.
HE AINT PUT OUT A CD AND PERFORMING AT ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND BEST FESTIVALS IN THE WORLD THAT YMCMB OVOXO TEAM CAN NOT BE STOPPED WE THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTT
YOU’RE A FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGG
the weeknd is the future of music…period!
wow… I thought house of ballons was good – but without autotune – this dude can’t shit for shit.
No pitch control – limited range – offkey more than half the time.
Stick to song-writing buddy.
wow I think you should teach him since you seem to know so much man. I’m serious contact him asap you vocal GENIUS
Love his albums, but this guy cannot sing for shit live. Needs a vocal coach pronto if he wants to capitalize on all the hype. Rad arrangements etc tho.
If you like hip-hop, you might like my blog, Rhymes and Reasons. Its a series of interviews with hip-hop heads who discuss their lives and a few songs that matter to them. Pretty powerful stuff. Checkem out here:

all you haterz/’humbuglarz’ in disguise are just sooooo jealous, picking on some slip-ups and totally ignoring all the best part. he is not your usual rnb singer, he is totally different and fresh. his songs are beautiful, his voice is beautiful and despite the nerves he gave a solid performance, AND the crowd were hyped.
I wasn’t gonna say shit but since I see niggaz hatin on the Homey i MUST!!! First of all STOP comparing The Weekend to The Dream! Music changes every time you wake up to piss so if you can’t understand that, just say you don’t understand it…DON”T HATE! I must say the homey is one of the BEST R&B singers out as we speak! The Weekend is no older than 22 and look at what he’s accomplished with 3 mixtapes(one unreleased mixtape) He had a hour set so with that said thehomey is doin his thing! Every time i pop his shit in when i’m chillin with a broad i get some BOOTY!! HATE ON THAT….HA
omg he got fat lol
but i still love him thoe he still sexy lmfao ma future husband
