It makes my cry cus hes really becoming one of the greatest of all time. Its crazy he elevated in music so much im scared whats going to happen next! Shit is crazy
@@javierceron3270 I don't think so, he definitely has reverb on the mic but his not perfectly on pitch, like any singers not using auto tune. If he was using auto tune there would be no notes that wasn't perfect and he would be perfectly on pitch the whole time.

abel is probably is the only artist in the industry that released an artistically compelling album this year, paired with a cinematic narrative and a consistent concept throughout every single one of his live performances. his record 'blinding lights' surpassed 1 BILLION streams back in june, making it the most-streamed song in the world. 'in your eyes' is a track with a synthpop/post-disco flair that is noted to be a stand-out track from the whole album - the saxophone solo was the most satisfying thing i'd heard and i wish i could go listen to the track (hell, even the whole album) again. every single track was amazing - faith, alone again, snowchild, scared to live, save your tears, after hours (MY FAVOURITE!). 'after hours' was given a professional rating of 80/100, based on 20 reviews. it was definitely 'album of the year' in the eyes of critics' as well. my point is that this year, no artist reinvented themselves the way abel did. few artists evolved but no one is close to this man. he left his fans hooked for more and he GAVE more. he worked so hard and i've got this emptiest feeling after hearing those wretched grammy noms. he really deserved recognition from them for his success and self-reflection this year. in conclusion, fuck the grammys.
I agree that The Weeknd did this, but to say he's the only artist to release an artistically compelling album this year puts aside a lot of great, creative artists. Perhaps in mainstream your statement is correct, but to name a few, I urge you to listen to Michael Kiwanukas latest album KIWANUKA, released late last year. Also, The Slow Rush by Tame Impala is a fantastic album, as is Fetch the Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple. Good music is out there, if you feel the charts are lacking as I often do, have a dive into the richness of artists who release music for musics sake, you won't be dissapointed. Much love :)
The fact that he doesn't even require any stage dancers and can fully own the whole things is crazyyy. Other artists have alot of background dancers so their performance looks spicy. Abel is the living legend.
He never had background dancers in his live performances or in world tour. He can entertain everyone with self & only a microphone. That's what separates him from other artists.
This is a masterpiece.. The Weeknd is a genius, Weeknd goes in soo hard on this right here! Only reason he is getting more hits is cuz he is just watching that short on my channel explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big..
the weeknd is one of the best artists of the generation, he’s a literal musical genius. everything about his music from the lyrics, to his voice, all the way down to the beat is always astounding. this man has never written a bad song.
This live version is much better than the Studio version. Studio version is still good, but this is far superior It’d be amazing if he did a live album version of After Hours.
The simplicity and rawness of this vid is just why its so special. So much in such simple vocals and physicality. Like Faith it cuts straight through you. It's like with Nothing Compares 2 You by Sinead O'Connor/Prince. Moving
that's a perfect way to describe him. maybe because he's as big as Drake. yet has so much more layers to him, depth and cinematic, mysterious vibe unlike the latter. it then feels kinda unfair even with all the accolades. like can we get much higher?
Hey sorry to bother but I’m a 16 year old artist/singer, and I just dropped my first music video to my song “Mission” It would mean a lot if you could come by and show it some love! 🕶💫
here after abel got SNUBBED. the man had it all this year with blinding lights, in your eyes and after hours but nah, let’s just let yummy took over the Grammy nominations. let’s be clear though, the weeknd doesn’t need a Grammy, the Grammys need him.
Fuck all these awards. There are so many different albums with different intentions and themes so choosing one as the BEST is impossible. At least to me.
The sheer fact that he can hold notes for that long is incredible, not to mention that he can create amazing songs like this. Abel, keep doing whatever it is your doing, because it's clear your doing it right.
His voice is ridiculous. This is the closest I've ever heard anyone's voice quality sound to the studio recording of their song during a live performance, in fact it might even be better. He's just that good. Insane performance.
@@tcggggg there’s always gonna be vocal effects added , there’s some clear reverb but it’s never autotune. he doesn’t need it period. abel’s voice is incredible with or without vocal effects.

@@griefweaver8432 wdym? they might’ve edited his vocals in this performance a bit but if you watch the tour fancams, you’ll realise how great of a vocalist he is
Dikoo that sentence doesn’t make sense. “I too, two much.” He also notoriously does drugs. He’s talking about over dosing. He references drugs various times throughout this album. I’m pretty sure when he sings “I threw two thousand ones in the sky” he’s referencing blowing money on drugs.
how could you not like this man’s music or at least respect his artistry? everything about both is just... unmatched. no matter the era, no matter the ambience. he really never misses.
We've seen the white light in The Dawn, and now everything makes sense. Here he was gonna touch the white light to be blessed and healed but refused at the last second and suddenly all the lights turned red again bringing him back to his melancholy...the world of after hours. Unbelievable cinematography and storytelling...just unbelievable!!
this is his Thriller no doubt. most significant project of his carreer that solidifies him as a legend. the way he created the whole universe around the album is truly unheard of. ain't no other artist from this era does that.
@@Kyprioth071 I was talkin' about the whole After Hours album. it is very conceptual. compared to the Starboy where you can nitpick any song, this album is like a rollercoaster ride. a cinematic experience. with videos and performances he basically gave us a movie that finished this painting.
This song has always made me feel like I could just start floating up from the ground while feeling all the feels. Unbelievably beautiful and emotional performance.
This album came out shortly after my wife passed away. The weeknd thank you for helping me get better when I was in a very dark place. Your songs are amazing. Please never stop!
This guy is my holy grail for almost 10 years now. His music always cheers me up in some way and it’s a fucking life savior. Hopefully I can see him live 2021 after hoe-rona. Much love!

@Ann P you’re a female I’m guessing? This is easy to sing for a woman. Extremely difficult for a man. The vocal range for this song is placed in a spot where practically every woman can sing it. But men, it’s not.
@@yashalnaeem Grammy is strange. In 2019 their gave all awards to Billie and didn't give Any awards to Ariana and Lana! Can you imagine? Lana. Doesn't. Have. Any. Grammy. And Billie has six (nothing against her, but her style inspired by lana obviously!) And Ariana. They literally used the biggest pop-star of 2019 for clout and didn't give her Any awards. Are they offended that she fallen out of with organizators in 2018 and didn't go to the ceremony??? 😕😂 Also some years ago Bruno Mars album won Grammy over Melodrama! And etc. So, Grammy often choose questionable winners. But anyway I love Abel without award or with))
I agree with u 100 percent .. every year before this one I used to get excited about the Grammys until they snubed Abel this year and then I lost interest In the Grammys altogether..if it wasn't for the weeknd I wouldn't have made it through 2020 ..
@@kweis92 there is something about his voice that hits my soul and gives me goosebumps .. literally everything he does I like or love even.his early stuff.... i kinda wish m.j was his biological father .. because hes like m.j but kinda better and he doesn't need 100 backup dancers behind him to keep u entertained while u watch Abel like Michael did
@@justinabel5990 after hours is actually my first experience with his music. I did shrooms for the first time earlier this year. And his album happen to come out that week I did it and that album legit took my soul. I can’t resemble that album to anything I’ve heard before. It’s the most unique album I’ve ever listened to
@@kweis92 really ...then u should listen to his earlier stuff .. it's a completely different vibe but it's equally good .. I've never done shrooms before .. but if I were to do it than I'd like to listen to ABEL all day because his voice is kinda soothing ....I feel like I can kinda relate to him or what he's feeling.in each particular song ..it's weird because no other artists made feel like the weeknd MAKES me feel ..his sound is unique and can't be replicated ..
Listen to those incredible vocals dude, Abel is a once in a lifetime artist... this year and last year was unequivocally his, he owned it... he earned it... and god fucking damn he proved every single ounce of talent he has...
abel is saving me. i have a horrible ed, and the worst part is don’t even want to get better. i smoke as a crutch, and i don’t sleep. i know he doesn’t even know i exist but i’m so thankful for him. he’s giving me a reason to live because his music is the only thing that make me genuinely happy .
I am in recovery from addiction issues and some mental health and his music is so healing. I am so grateful for him as well. I totally relate. I had very serious ed issues before I picked up a different addiction. I wish you healing and I am sending you positive vibes and love❤️
I didn’t think it was possible but he has elevated his vocals. Just sonically perfect.
I totally agree, very difficult for singers to sound the same on records and live. Even he couldn't do it before
i was so surprised too...😩

There’s so much melancholy behind them, I love it.
@@c4g3dB34st I thought I was the only one
Felt it in my soul
I like the ones @ 3:07 a little more but both are great
can we appreciate the fact that he’s so smooth with the runs and his vocals are same as the studio version of the song
Smooth? You mean corrected
If not, BETTER!!❤️❤️❤️
This is even better than the studio version
@@griefweaver8432 wdym? they might’ve edited his vocals in this performance a bit but if you watch the tour fancams, you’ll realise how great of a vocalist he is
this version is soooooo much better than the studio
Popular opinion: This is better than original version
His vocals on this are so much better but the production sounds nicer in the recording. For me I’m not sure which I like more
@@coastercraziness I agree 100%. But I think the vocals in the live version has a slight advantage.
@@coastercraziness we need a live performance of the whole album expeditiously
@@hadesonder yes would be great! We have to ask to him on Instagram. Everyone
Lol nah, the autotune on the original makes it for me
The fact that isn't on all streaming platforms is criminal.
“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but The Weeknd has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”
not only videos
Clever
Who said that?
Ibra Ben No one. It’s a joke of what Kanye said to Taylor years ago
LMFAOAOJDHCHDJ ICONIC 😭😭
*Be honest* Abel deserved to win the Award “The Artist of the Year” on the AMAS
True
Even as a swiftie,i agree.
Who won?
@@manuelcarranzafuzzi4517 Taylor Swift
@@manuelcarranzafuzzi4517 Taylor
"i took too much, i don't wanna die" hits so hard live
He say " I too TWO much "
He make signs with his hand
Dikoo that sentence doesn’t make sense. “I too, two much.” He also notoriously does drugs. He’s talking about over dosing. He references drugs various times throughout this album. I’m pretty sure when he sings “I threw two thousand ones in the sky” he’s referencing blowing money on drugs.
I’ll never get sick of this
Its impossible. Time proof af
NEVER
how could you not like this man’s music or at least respect his artistry? everything about both is just... unmatched. no matter the era, no matter the ambience. he really never misses.
This song, on full blast, at night, driving alone = *OUT OF WORLD EXPERIENCE*
OMG................

I see you're a man of culture
I did this so much during quarentine haha
So glad I’m not the only one who consistently lives this same euphoric experience
unfortunately, it doesn't hit as hard as the first 100 times i did it, but i can't resist the temptation to listen to it. I need a detox, but I cant
His vocals are touched by the lord
And his lyrics Damned by Devil
Right !????
@BLACK LAZER - XO21 💯🐐🐐
We've seen the white light in The Dawn, and now everything makes sense. Here he was gonna touch the white light to be blessed and healed but refused at the last second and suddenly all the lights turned red again bringing him back to his melancholy...the world of after hours.
Unbelievable cinematography and storytelling...just unbelievable!!
He doesn’t need auto tune, he’s that good.
damn right
this is his Thriller no doubt. most significant project of his carreer that solidifies him as a legend. the way he created the whole universe around the album is truly unheard of. ain't no other artist from this era does that.
I would say Blinding Lights is more like that. While I like this song more than Blinding Lights, a lot more people know that song.
@@Kyprioth071 I was talkin' about the whole After Hours album. it is very conceptual. compared to the Starboy where you can nitpick any song, this album is like a rollercoaster ride. a cinematic experience. with videos and performances he basically gave us a movie that finished this painting.
@@Kyprioth071 he’s meaning the whole after hours era
Travis Scott’s Astroworld is the only comparison I can think of. Without lockdown this would’ve been insane
@@vrrtvrrt5700 hopefully he will perform maybe next summer
This song literally gives off out of body vibes. Chills.
Ever heard this song while your high? Sh** is crazy lol
Possibly one of the greatest tracks of all time, yet not spoken about enough as a weeknd track is crazy!
I cant express how bad i want to hear him perform "after hours" live! That was honestly one of my fav songs on the album
Yeeees
Same!
Your wish has been granted
So he finally performed it live. Did you end up watching it?
He peformed it live and its 100% the best song he has performed live, sounds exactly the same!
It's rare nowadays to find artists who sound exactly the same live, as the studio recording.
It's my dream to get to sing with Abel one day! 🖤
He doesn’t sound the same live in the studio he is better 😆
@@ghostplayzwarzone2618 shut up😆
@@ghostplayzwarzone2618 yes. He sounds better in live
@@ghostplayzwarzone2618 I'd rather see him sing live than listen to the studio version any day
@@ghostplayzwarzone2618 I’ve seen him live twice already, he def sounds the same maybe even better live 😌
I love how The Weeknd creates "characters" for every comebacks
each comebacks follows a scenery/an idea
Kanye
Genuinely a perfect song in every way. It’s a little crazy how this song doesn’t get more love outside of just the big Abel fans.
he’s like a rare, majestical creature 😭. Abel is a god
This song has always made me feel like I could just start floating up from the ground while feeling all the feels. Unbelievably beautiful and emotional performance.
I’m glad he didn’t just preform blinding lights. There’s a lot of songs on his album that are as good and better
Facts
Period
Agreed 👌
Yeah he did it on vmas already
YESSSSS!
This album came out shortly after my wife passed away. The weeknd thank you for helping me get better when I was in a very dark place. Your songs are amazing. Please never stop!
Im sorry for your lost and yes this song was perfect for you❤
This guy is my holy grail for almost 10 years now. His music always cheers me up in some way and it’s a fucking life savior. Hopefully I can see him live 2021 after hoe-rona. Much love!
Same !
Hey sorry to bother but I’m a 16 year old artist/singer, and I just dropped my first music video to my song “Mission”
It would mean a lot if you could come by and show it some love! 🕶💫
This live performance is better than the actual song to me
Just imagine the tour🔥🔥
Big facts
@@mrbanks8675 i thought that the tour was cancelled, because the AH era is gone and the dawn is coming
@@mateusmrx Nope, he still got concerts lined up for next year
@@mateusmrx the dawn is coming does not mean that the ah tours will be cancely 👀😄🤗
The fact that he sounds like this in a live performance with not a single auto tune, yeah this man is that good.
OMG................
th-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/w-d-xo.html
@Ann P are you fucking kidding me?
@Ann P You obviously know NOTHING about music whatsoever mate 😂get out!!
@Ann P give him a break, not everyone is as good as you
@Ann P you’re a female I’m guessing? This is easy to sing for a woman. Extremely difficult for a man. The vocal range for this song is placed in a spot where practically every woman can sing it. But men, it’s not.
How can he sing even better than the recorded one?
He doesn't need autotune.. his voice is perfect without it
Vocals were recessed a bit in the album version. That was one of the main complains people had with that song and other songs like "too late".
@@stefanreve1806 I mean there’s autotune on his mix, but I get what you mean
R Kelly did this like it was nothing
I’ve supported this man since the beginning, and I swear to God I will fight anyone who says he can’t sing! 😤🖤
Lol, he uses falsetto
@Yara J you right, my uncle says that just trigger me 💀
yesssyess
YESSSSS
@@snoozy3330 I’m not hearing Falsetto in this performance this is pure vocals tbh in his actual songs yes but mostly on tour he sings like this
The Weeknd: "Alone AGAIN"
EVERYONE: "Clicks RAPIDLY"
B)
YES
already on my 20th replay
*breathing intensified*
he is singing oh-oh for almost 30 seconds and still better than all that grammy nominations
Doğru dedin kral
This album gave me the same feelings House of Balloons gave me. He is an absolute musical genius that none of can even begin to understand.
This video itself proves that The Weeknd Deserves Artist Of The Year. Period.
YUP!!!!
OMG................
th-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/w-d-xo.html
If he doesn't win the album and artist of the year at the grammys Imma get depressed
Same. I really hope he wins it
Me tooo he deserves it omg
He'll get it for sure
@@yashalnaeem Grammy is strange. In 2019 their gave all awards to Billie and didn't give Any awards to Ariana and Lana!
Can you imagine? Lana. Doesn't. Have. Any. Grammy. And Billie has six (nothing against her, but her style inspired by lana obviously!)
And Ariana. They literally used the biggest pop-star of 2019 for clout and didn't give her Any awards. Are they offended that she fallen out of with organizators in 2018 and didn't go to the ceremony??? 😕😂
Also some years ago Bruno Mars album won Grammy over Melodrama!
And etc.
So, Grammy often choose questionable winners. But anyway I love Abel without award or with))
I'm not even going to be suprised if he doesn't. 2020 AMA winners were so weird aswell, I don't understand how it works.
He didn’t get a Grammy cause his talent is far superior than what a Grammy can offer. This dude is a legend
I agree with u 100 percent .. every year before this one I used to get excited about the Grammys until they snubed Abel this year and then I lost interest In the Grammys altogether..if it wasn't for the weeknd I wouldn't have made it through 2020 ..
@@justinabel5990 The Weeknd has been my shit all year. Literally everyday I listen to AfterHours
@@kweis92 there is something about his voice that hits my soul and gives me goosebumps .. literally everything he does I like or love even.his early stuff.... i kinda wish m.j was his biological father .. because hes like m.j but kinda better and he doesn't need 100 backup dancers behind him to keep u entertained while u watch Abel like Michael did
@@justinabel5990 after hours is actually my first experience with his music. I did shrooms for the first time earlier this year. And his album happen to come out that week I did it and that album legit took my soul. I can’t resemble that album to anything I’ve heard before. It’s the most unique album I’ve ever listened to
@@kweis92 really ...then u should listen to his earlier stuff .. it's a completely different vibe but it's equally good .. I've never done shrooms before .. but if I were to do it than I'd like to listen to ABEL all day because his voice is kinda soothing ....I feel like I can kinda relate to him or what he's feeling.in each particular song ..it's weird because no other artists made feel like the weeknd MAKES me feel ..his sound is unique and can't be replicated ..
that extra yeah after check my pulse for the second time blew my mind
Listen to those incredible vocals dude, Abel is a once in a lifetime artist... this year and last year was unequivocally his, he owned it... he earned it... and god fucking damn he proved every single ounce of talent he has...
Couldn’t have said it better! All his work is one giant masterpiece 🙏
@Lemon wedges Saved my life Ariana grande isn’t a woman ?
abel is saving me. i have a horrible ed, and the worst part is don’t even want to get better. i smoke as a crutch, and i don’t sleep. i know he doesn’t even know i exist but i’m so thankful for him. he’s giving me a reason to live because his music is the only thing that make me genuinely happy .
Things will get better 🙏🏿
Been there. "Save your tears is my ringtone
I am in recovery from addiction issues and some mental health and his music is so healing. I am so grateful for him as well. I totally relate. I had very serious ed issues before I picked up a different addiction. I wish you healing and I am sending you positive vibes and love❤️
Get better 🇪🇹❤️
I feel you
We just lost probably one of the best Grammy performances of all time...... because of the Grammys
RIGHT??
He’s gonna be at the Super Bowl so
Super Bowl performance is way better if I’m being honest although he still definitely deserves the Grammy anyway
A 24 minute performance at the Super Bowl is way better! Fuck the Grammys
He dominated the super bowl halftime show, & gave it a Grammys type of feel
The whole after hours album. **Chef's kiss**
It looks like he performed in a large bathroom to make his vocals so PERFECT
His vocal game is on another level TBH...
Bros skills is crazy
It's called reverb geniuses
its not true do u hear when he sing live is same voice man 😉
Ye-
