The Weekend is the Modern Day Michael Jackson. Imagine if MJ was around to do a collab with him would be INSANE!!!!!

[@peterg1819]

The Weeknd is the first The Weeknd.

[@kelviodossantos9147]

He’s AMAZING , but not Michael Jackson level

[@aaaaa.kkkkkk]

@@kelviodossantos9147 yeah he is much better

[@dbzayan]

@@aaaaa.kkkkkk Well, I still think they're the top of their respective genres.

[@danielalejandromayosalaman7874]

Omg that would be completely insane. I miss michael jackson but thanks to the universe we have The Weeknd 💥✨❤️✨💥❤️

[@diorgata7041]

In regards to your question about if The Weeknd has an artistic director. The answer is yes - his Creative Director is La Mar C Taylor, The Weeknd's best friend from childhood who dropped out of high school with him. Together they create amazing things as you know.. XO

@Nina U should really watch this

[@Stormbreaker1924]

He is truly sensational when he sings.. he makes u feel alive with his voice. Just amazing!!

[@Qichar]

If you can believe it, I just discovered THE WEEKND today, and I'm blown away. I grew up in the 80's and the way he evokes that musical sensibility is just astonishing. And his voice is so pure, not one in a million people have such clarity in the upper part of their range. It's mesmerizing.

[@JonathanGonzalez-ty4vh]

We need more Weeknd reactions, I think I speak for most people when I say this !!!

[@KyOte13]

Unreal talent... what an amazing performer & singer, his voice is off the charts

I hope she does :c

[@j1918]

There's nothing better than when the artists loves the song(s) they're performing it just makes the performance better!!

[@o0oo0o70]

He must really know his camera's and music bc both looks and sounds expensive asf. The quality on this video was much better than any other performances from this show.

[@mehranafsarpanah3716]

🔥🔥🔥Finally someone has noticed his perfect vocals 😉😁😁😍 Can you react to his other live perfumences? and also have you heard Trilogy album?

[@teknovex7672]

Kiss Land too

[@randallmay6345]

This wasn't a live performance, it was a prerecorded vocals and then shot with sound effects laid over to give you the illusion to match the visual. To truly appreciate his live vocals watch his SNL performance.

[@etyoutube401]

I'm a big fan of The weeknd, but how many of you know his real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye???

[@juliansanchezharris5773]

Didn't know the Makkonen part. Sounds finnish.

[@etyoutube401]

@@juliansanchezharris5773 Not Finnish, Its Ethiopian

[@juliansanchezharris5773]

@@etyoutube401 Yeah i know, but being a swede living next to Finland, the name was strikingly similar to that of a finnish lastname.

He went from being homeless to one of the G.O.A.T

[@richlisola1]

Everyone knows his name

[@Kindness.20247]

He does have a very loud powerful vocal. I like the beat of this song. Talented

[@ilikethatboulder.thatisani5496]

It is indeed a helicopter and it makes the performance feel that much more grand 👏

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

When he's performing this song, he's just having a good time up there~ The way he's moving, the hype he brings, and just the vibe of this song with this live performance is amazing~ The Weeknd is just an artist that you can't compare to anyone else. His vocals are on point all the time~

[@peterwho9380]

To see you be amazed by him is just AMAZING! Funny thing is my little nephew Quincy met The Weeknd at the studio in CA last year as my brother in law "Alex G" also works under the boss of Abel! Quincy had no idea who he was and my sister just told him to just call him "Starboy!"...

[@DustyBeans]

It was an awesome performance. He deserves all his awards and more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@yvsdna]

you should react to like an entire The Weeknd concert, to see how he's able to keep this up through an hour....also his best friend since childhood, Lamar C Taylor does his creative direction

[@cyonruiz7598]

I can't stop singing along with the music lol it's like I'm hypnotized

Diana Ankudinova is a young performer who shocks us with her pleasant voice and takes us into the abyss of events!!! Diana Ankudinova is unique and inimitable, goosebumps from her voice!=)))) Diana sings as if she lives in the song! The soul freezes or opens with Diana's voice.=))))))) I am a musician who has been with music for years, and believe me, I have not heard such a tone in all these past years. 1000000%!!!😁🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶💖💖

[@7Taric]

Each song by *Diana* surprises and amazes with its novelty of sound! In addition to the unique range and timbre of her voice, combined with excellent performance technique, *Diana* is extremely diverse in musical genres and styles! In addition, she sings in several languages, whose native speakers celebrate her good pronunciation! The emotional impact on listeners who do not understand the meaning of the song is amazing! No wonder *Diana* is called the " *Lady* or *Queen* *of* *Goosebumps* "!
