omw ty bb <3

lol i thought it was good-ish for his first time on live TV. you could tell that he was so nervous lol. poor boy didn't know what to do with his hands.
lucciolaa 28th-Nov-2012 12:13 am (UTC)
lol on bbc?
su20 28th-Nov-2012 12:23 am (UTC)
Jools holland is class...great platform to debut!

lucciolaa 28th-Nov-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
I take no issue with BBC, just... of all places? Oh well.
su20 28th-Nov-2012 12:28 am (UTC)
idgi "..of all places? what's wrong with the BBC? honestly..it's one of the biggest channels in the world!
lucciolaa 28th-Nov-2012 12:29 am (UTC)
I just wouldn't expect his debut performance to be on BBC. He's an indie R&B artist, I would have expected at least a music network or something.
su20 28th-Nov-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
well Jools Holland is perfect fit for his indie R&B vibe..they always highlight up and coming alternative artists sooo well on the show..so The Weeknd being on their show to me is ..pretty standard. Plus this will set him up nicely to do well in the UK now aswell.

i see you not-so-subtly staning zayn in that comment.
su20 28th-Nov-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
ha My stan-ing for Zayn can never be subtle sis
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 12:40 am (UTC)
praise your light bb
ritzyroxie 28th-Nov-2012 12:21 am (UTC)
I thought it was a multi-member band...
poetic_daze 28th-Nov-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
ok glad i'm not the only one
ashley0403 28th-Nov-2012 12:25 am (UTC)
im obsessed with twenty eight rn
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 12:29 am (UTC)
best song after birds pt. 1 imo
laizuki 28th-Nov-2012 12:31 am (UTC)
love it
flashnights 28th-Nov-2012 12:27 am (UTC)
i don't follow him but i like his music. i thought he didn't want fame or to play live on tv etc.

the shows he's done here you can barely see his face

That was good.

Waiting for a pic of him and Lana together since they did the same show.
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
hft
larrylurker 28th-Nov-2012 12:36 am (UTC)
I haven't put this together until now, but they sort of have a similar melancholy-style. even their rise through the music blogs has similarities

hmmm...
laurie_springs 28th-Nov-2012 12:47 am (UTC)
I'm kind of shocked he hasn't shown up in one of her videos or something. She got side tracked with Rocky love I guess lol
larrylurker 28th-Nov-2012 12:59 am (UTC)
they might be too similar for a good track to come out of it, but I wouldn't be surprise if they do a collaboration down the line

this icon suits you well. there is my weekly rate-laurie's-icon review.
booneral 28th-Nov-2012 12:31 am (UTC)
aww his hand movements lol

forever upset we won't get anything as good as house of balloons tho
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
ia, i absolutely loved house of balloons. it was so idk how to explain it, but rich with emotions.

twenty eight is probably the only recent song that sounds so passionate.
fashionbb 28th-Nov-2012 02:23 am (UTC)
YAS GURL. HOB was the shit.

Also I like ur icon. Did u make it?
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 02:28 am (UTC)
ty bb :D i found it on weheartit, it had no source or anything~ so i felt slightly bad turning it into an icon

oh well.
scorsesedog 28th-Nov-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
lol he wasn't that awkward but seemed nervous. sounded perf though of course.

and omg your icon op, my dream in gif form
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 12:44 am (UTC)
omg ty bb <3 i made this graphic for tumblr but i thought it would be an amazing icon too c:

it's my dream too ;__; i just want him to cover one song, jUST ONE SONG (or release an entire mixtape of covers)
scorsesedog 28th-Nov-2012 12:56 am (UTC)
a mixtape of the weeknd and frank ocean covers would kill me
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 01:05 am (UTC)
YES OH GOD H F T.

this sounds terrible, but idgaf, i just want a solo zayn rnb album TT____TT
poetic_daze 28th-Nov-2012 12:34 am (UTC)
wait... i thought this was a boy band... like a modernday New Edition in a sea of NKOTB

its one dude? the fuck?
forkmeup 28th-Nov-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
yep.
larrylurker 28th-Nov-2012 12:39 am (UTC)
he used to be in a band. they use to play country songs even

When the other bandmate left, he dropped the "n" in "The Weekend" moniker and change his style to alternative R&B
forkmeup 28th-Nov-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
i love fucking to this song tbh.
sweetwaterpink 28th-Nov-2012 12:40 am (UTC)
I love this song.
love_keiko 28th-Nov-2012 12:41 am (UTC)
damn he is NERVOUS.

when i saw him perform this live his voice was steady and clear. and his adlibs weren't so....weird? he needs to leave the microphone stand, he's not good at just standing there.
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 12:52 am (UTC)
LOL ikr?

i've seen him perform a few times, and he sounds great live. i think he's just really nervous about this performance.
fashionbb 28th-Nov-2012 02:21 am (UTC)
Yeah. He's got to get comfortable at some point. Like he's got to do some moving with his body.

The whole hand thing in the beginning...I was like 'well...'

But it was his 1st live performance so I'll give him props.

oblika_farika 28th-Nov-2012 01:25 am (UTC)
bow 2 him
fashionbb 28th-Nov-2012 02:19 am (UTC)
I was lookin at OP's icon...like...that is oddly like the weeknds mixtape cover (except its 1D)
And then I realized what you actually posted.


It is awkward. And could have been better. It was good I guess.
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 02:30 am (UTC)
LOL, the weeknd + zayn are my two fav things tbh. so if zayn ever collabs with the weeknd i'll cry myself to an early death.
executivehpfan 28th-Nov-2012 02:44 am (UTC)
I fucking love this song.
oh7 28th-Nov-2012 03:20 am (UTC)
It's still a no for me, but that's great I guess that they are selling well.
coccktease 28th-Nov-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
UGH. I love this little canadian teacup human.
prophecypro 28th-Nov-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
Considering how awkward his live performances are and he's been in the game for 2 years now, I think people need to quit hyping the boy until he really shows what he does with a proper album and he quits toying around with this cult status he got that encourages him to be aloof and mysterious. We've seen dudes like him come and go in the R&B game (some only drop 1 album and you still got people clamouring for them to comeback on some legend shit).
All I'm saying is, let him build a rep, before we crown him.
king_stark 28th-Nov-2012 05:04 pm (UTC)
lol, this was his first live performance on tv. idk he was really nervous lol you could tell by his hands. i

i've been to a few of his concerts, he's really good live.

and no one is crowing him, yet.
hotcinnamonbuns 28th-Nov-2012 06:09 pm (UTC)
i fucking love him
hes amazing in concert
