all i think about is beyonce's coachella or childish gambino's coachella, they put SO much effort and put on such a show, and especially for gambino, somebody who doesn't perform much anymore similarly to frank, he gave 110%...it just boggles my mind what frank ocean thinks of not only his fanbase, but the people who pay to see him and the people who work for him
I’m just going to make an assumption that most of y’all who said this didn’t even attend cuz he did perform the entire time. This was also performed for the absolute worst crowd since day 1 and I’ve been to almost every festival but I digress. People will look back on this, if they release the set in its entirety to the public, and realize it was something special they just weren’t used to mixes of songs to appreciate it. They wanted some grandiose performance when he isn’t even known to be that.
@@MrAwesomePersonality performing does not = listening to his music with him, while he sings a few songs here and there…then calls it off early due to ‘curfew’ after being an hour late…i watched an entire livestream of it. frank is an amazing artist with raw talent no question about it, but you don’t have to defend somebody who very obviously didn’t perform a coachella performance nonetheless headliner 🤷♂️
I agree with Dan - make music in the studio if you don’t want to perform. Zayn has released multiple albums and hasn’t toured them and we (fans) are fine with it and we understand. It’s fine to be a musical artist and just express it through the music you released rather than touring.
True. Fans should also expect less of him, he’s made it clear he doesn’t like being in the public eye. It seems he only performed despite his injury because it’s been anticipated for years now. He should pursue his passion and the arts rather than perform for fans honestly.
That's because you aren't a millionaire yet. You still need your fans ATM. Wait till you have 50 million in the bank and you might want to disappoint them a bit more.
Frustration is valid, but people really need to cut the dramatic assumptions. He didn’t go out of his way to disappoint anyone. Obviously things went wrong- many of which I’m sure we have no clue about. You can be annoyed by this all you want, but also be aware possibility and nuance is basically *always* at play within *every* circumstance.
I was actually there & Frank injured his ankle for his set & he was super entertaining! Everyone’s talking about him today so mission accomplished lmao!
Beyonce had foot surgery before her performance in Dubai. Gave full choreo and had some of the most memorable vocal moments of her career in that set. Trended on twitter for days. A dedicated artist will make do
Dave Grohl played a whole entire Foo Fighters concert while sitting on a throne with his foot in a cast cuz he had broken his foot that day or some shit.
We waited 4 hours near the front of the stage and missed multiple sets for Frank. People in front of us were camping since the opening of Sunday. We witnessed so many poor people fainting and suffering from anxiety attacks. To go through all of that just for him to put on this half-assed performance was truly disappointing. It felt like he didn't even want to be there
@@galacticbackdrop1250 Because at the time of the booking (early 2020 I presume) he wanted to actually perform. His rollout for his new stuff of music has already begun but everything stopped because his younger brother suddenly died. I’m not Frank but I am sure it crushed him mentally. I watched the whole performance and it wasn’t even bad. Real Frank ocean fans knew what will happen on stage, it’s not like we didn’t hear anything from him for seven years. All these rich entitled kids thinking he was gonna sing their „frank vibes“ playlist are now salty that he did what he did: art. And I agree that it was stupid to change the whole stage, so many people worked hard and it was an asshole move. Idk if his injury had anything to do with it.
I’m convinced that humans aren’t mentally capable of having that sheer level of fame or wealth. It turns people into selfish, pompous jerks that vastly overestimate their own abilities and importance. The very rare few that get super successful in corporations or as celebrities and that DON’T then become narcissists are just that much cooler for staying humble.
Beyoncé literally put on her own live band, majorette dancers, skits, she went above and beyond and provided a Netflix special. I imagine any headliner should put in that kind of effort because Cochella is expensive.
And Beyoncé still has ppl saying she’s not good enough. I think how some artists can do the bare minimum and still be praised. If Beyoncé did this I wonder if so many ppl would compassionate as they were with Frank
@@roronoa_raf2201kay but that doesn’t give you the right to always be a dick. i like his music a lot but using the defense “he’s only human” doesn’t work cause most humans do both good and bad, frank only lets people down
I’m a huge Frank fan. There is a fine line between dickriding and bashing, it’s constructive criticism. People, it’s okay to be honest about an artist rather than completely hating on him or supporting his bad decisions because it’s Frank. I think that if he really wasn’t feeling comfortable to perform than he really should’ve not performed and we would’ve been understanding. But to cancel last minute plans, be an hour late, and only sing a couple songs is disappointing. To cancel a livestream for one of the BIGGEST headliners. Also, I hope he understood the level of anticipation was set high, cuz in the end, this is a festival that hundreds paid to see and come travel to… Frank is creative and amazing, if only he really was more organized, he really could’ve given the best performance of the night. Edit: he canceled week 2…
The Brad Pitt thing was after his divorce with Angelina, and he found Frank's music at the time to help him through the hardtime. I'm pretty sure Brad reached out to Frank to tell him and he asked him to join his performance.
@@softestsoftmatter I feel like it was such a big cultural moment at the time too! Like it was a big deal that Brangela was breaking up, Blonde had just come out, Frank wore that iconic t-shirt; it really elevated Franks performance art. I remember everyone was talking about it.
I was there and so disappointed he didn’t take his fans into consideration. Me and 2 others had made ourselves to the front (10ft rom VIP) and we waited for 6 hours!!! Thats standing in the same spot for that amount of time w no bathroom breaks and we couldn’t even sit in our spots because the crowd was so dense. Within our section there were 8 ppl that needed to get pulled out of the crowd and we saw one guy pass out next to us. It was absolutely scary at times and I even felt like I was abt to pass out!
People are spreading misinformation. He was an hour late, and it did get cut short because of curfew. But it was an hour and 20 minutes long, and he did sing, there is one clip of him dancing (not singing) to Nights that has led people to believe he didn’t sing anything, while I know that’s false because I watched it. But personally I didn’t think it was as bad as people are saying. It was a little messy at points but it was movie-esque, beautiful visuals and production, just wish you could see him more.
@@Shay416 Exactly. He did handle it in a pretty shitty way, especially now dropping out next week after people have spent thousands solely to see him. But that doesn’t mean his week 1 performance wasn’t great and you get to spread lies. 😂
Easily spent 2k to go see this man as a bucket list item. Been a fan for over a decade since I was a teenager and now that I have a stable job with good cash flow this was my first big purchase. I heard so much about how he treats his fans (not refunding vinyls that ship months late and are shattered) but I guess I chalked it up to having a bad team. After this, I truly feel he resents his fans. Whether it’s because of fame, anxiety, etc he resents us. Doesn’t resent the money we earn him though
@@kiki_ci3880its not that he didn’t work. if anything thats what ppl wanted. physically and mentally he was not fit to be on stage, yet he made it a mess for the audience and Coachella programers and fired tons of people last minute
@@revechae i read he already had a contract with coachella since 2020 and he could be fined if he didnt perform. Seeing artists or anyone in general do their work while sick is just tacky for the viewer sorry. But i understand the backlash.
@@P0115-p8o he also did even do a show for all his fans in Mexico who couldn’t get in because people where making fake tickets but then goes ahead and does a free show in PR. So yeah he also didn’t care if his fans lost money
I saw frank ocean at fyf fest in 2017. honestly, it was amazing. I've been to hundreds of concerts and dozens of festivals at this point and his set is still top 3. at the time, people in the crowd said we'd be lucky if he showed up. his antics have been known for a long time, he always shows up late if he does at all. it's a shame he's like this but knowing this as most fans do, you're gambling by waiting at that stage all day. I'd never do that. enjoy the festival that you paid for and never put all your eggs in one basket especially one as flaky as this. I'd guess the guy plays festivals bc he can flake out in comparison to his own arena show and no way a tour would ever happen. as much as an artist might want to play his music to a live audience it doesn't feel like he wants to and really should just release music if he wants to (I don't think he wants to do this either really).
Did anyone else see Justin Bieber made an Insta post praising frank ocean for his set and saying his performance inspired him as an artist and then turned the comments off? I feel like something is happening behind the scenes it’s all so weird
Apparently those people were walking around the stage because they were supposed to be dancers or figure skaters that were going to do some kind of choreographed performance as part of his show but then he decided against it at the last second so the skaters didn't know what to do so that's why they were walking around in circles apparently
I think there were a few things goin on and Frank tried his best to mitigate the negative consequences. He’s been awkward in live performances before, he’s human and maybe this whole time he’s not trying to be “elusive” he just has anxiety issues he doesn’t discuss. Also him cancelling his livestream was probably bc he feared due to the ankle injury and changing his whole set would make a less than stellar show. Finally, being at coachella was a daunting reminder of his brother who passed and since he was contractually obligated to perform in 2020 (contract was probably done while his brother was alive) he had to honor it in ‘23-which he did. I know I sound like a stan but I’m really just trying to reason it out with all the info out now.
Ok now go back to the start of his career and explain the consistent pattern of flaking on his fans since day 1. It's literally what hes known for at this point, way before an ankle injury or his brothers death. The pattern goes so much further back than 3 years
@@ruminationstation4200 ok and explain the beautiful music he’s been giving us going back years before that. I’ve seen him live yrs ago amazing show. Sure , he’s difficult, he’s particular, he’s picky, he’s an asshole he’s all these things but maybe that’s the duality of his genius. One bad show and we tryna cancel him? Y’all petty and entitled af lol
Seriously… Metallica just put out an album. Give them the Sunday spot. They won’t even need to bring in their set. Just them, a stripped down stage, on the fly pyro and lights… boom.
Taylor Swift literally performed with a literal chunk of her skin missing because of an accident backstage at the Eras tour in Houston and live singing and dancing for 3+ hours with 44 songs WITHOUT missing a single note or a beat. There is a reason she is the biggest popstar in the world.
i read somewhere they had to melt the ice and that’s why it took so long to start the show, he completely changed everything last minute, and mostly lip synced songs (like no mic in hand). people really paid for a listening party. there’s also rumors it wasn’t live-streamed because they’re doing an HBO documentary on his return to music. (They may mention this stuff later in the video, but I haven’t gotten that far) I know his brother died a couple years ago and I would also still be struggling with that if I was him. So I’m sure it was a combo of things. I do feel for the attendees tho.
He only lip synced like 3 songs. The only people saying he lip synced most/all are the people that have been angry at Frank for YEARS for not releasing music- don’t pay attention to those weirdos. I’m not saying that excuses lip-syncing at all- it’s still weird and disrespectful. It’s possible there was a reason for it though, whether it be something out of his control or some sort of symbolism (since the 3 were some of his most popular songs, like Chanel that everyone uses on TikTok, and he tends to be a symbolic artist. For example, the whole reason he remixed all of his old songs for the performance is because he’d prefer people to focus on the experience over singing along. My personal assumption is that he was also hinting at what his upcoming music will sound like). Point is- we really don’t know the reasoning behind anything, and while the frustration is super valid (especially for the people that attended), I think we should be open to possibility instead of just assuming Frank hates his fans & chose to be lazy in his performance. I fully understand the assumption, but some people have explosive/unhealthy anger because of it. The openness to possibilities is necessary.
@@Konnordawg ikr. theres a massive amount of entitlement towards artists from fans to be delivered a specific output. art is supposed to be unique and expressive and its quite obvious frank is frustrated by the restrictions of the mainstream music industry. IMO frank does seem like a bit of a dick but also its a shame that an event like coachella has completely destroyed any expectation of variety or subversion within their artist's performences. its a shame music is so often viewed as a consumable product as opposed to as you alluded, art open to analysis.
when will y’all stop saying he hates his fans HE DOESNT he just don’t give a fuck about fame but y’all asses decided to pressure him to make more music, go out your way to record him living his life and all that shit
so nobody gonna talk about how people lineup for hours for frank ocean merch and he didn’t have any? no merch, an hour late, and cut off early. I, personally, liked his set. i thought his set was amazing but
Either he is going through a deep "I Don't Give A F" depression or he had a severe narcissist panic attack which is when a narc realizes he is not up to his ideal vision of himself and feels very unworthy and disappoints everyone around them (especially treat the people you work with like shit). Wait... Did you ever work with people like this?
I was there… so wild. At first we thought okay, he’s gonna make us wait he’s playing with us building us up… we’ve waited this long okayokay, and then the camera work and his entrance… we thought it was just artsy and mysterious and it was gonna snap into some kick ass show. And then it just never did!! I feel lucky I saw him, it had so much build up the years before this set, this had so much potential to be incredible.. but he’s been such a musical hero for me, and now I listen to his music and it’s a bit tainted :( Hope he’s okay… but as a fan it was brutal. I feel so bad for his die hard fans who camped out all day waiting for just him… all for that. Love Frank but damn
I was there for the Brad Pitt moment they’re talking about and it was actually pretty cool because it coincided with an alternate version of Good Guy and Spike Jonze was doing the camerawork. Most LA moment of my life to this day
Honestly I don’t blame Frank. I see why people are upset but someone did say it was short but he did perform for more than an hour. They’re making it seem like he was out there for ten minutes. Again he said how his brother would drag him there. Coachella is happy moments with his brother. Grief doesn’t just go away over time. It’s only been 3years. I’m sure he felt a way after being there without his brother. It probably started to hit him harder.
To show that covers topical news stuff. Of course, they're not experts in Frank ocean's career. I'm not an expert either, not even really a fan, but it's a topical news story and it's interesting to observe.
I understand it can be disappointing but he lost his brother going on 3 years ago, Coachella was a place that brought memories for him that I’m sure was hard to process and just with the chaos in general. He even mentioned that but naaaah fuck a human beings grief right? For y’all to cash out on a festival for ONE person is absolutely a bad investment on y’all end. Artist are human too, I still loved seeing him but I wasn’t only there for HIM and that’s why my money doesn’t feel wasted not even a little. Still love that man!
If Frank ocean knew he wasn’t up for it, he should have respected fans and crew by letting them know ahead of time. Why would he make the crew reconstruct the stage the day of if it was about grief. People made fun of Rihannas sb performance for not dancing hard enough while pregnant, but Frank should get a pass to waste other everyone’s time and efforts?
@@uncommonfolder_ I’ve never been able to experience frank in person so when I tell you I was in awe, his voice was enchanting! I really wish I coulda told him how much his albums helped me make it through most of teen-young adult life. Shit was a blast.
18 of his songs were played (excluding DJ set) fuck id be so excited to see it irl tbh, but im annoyed bc ppl just saying 6 songs or a couple song. its not just his show everyone is making it seem like they wasted all their money just to see him... its a multiple day event ?!
You HAVE to play the video of Dave Grohl letting his orthopedic surgeon sing the white stripes at his concert!!!! DR.lou. its the funniest thing in the world!!!!
I've been dick riding Frank Ocean for years. Love his music. That particular Close To You performance in FYF you guys were talking about when Brad Pitt appeared, Brad pretended to "listen" to the song from his phone because listening to Blond helped him after his divorce with Angelina. Pretty nice touch if you ask me. With that being said, what the fuck was Coachella performance?????? 💀💀💀 FYF was miles ahead, so fortunate that you guys got to see him.
Idk just a bunch of rich kids spending thousands of dollars for Coachella and waiting 10 hours to see frank is crazy 2 me, then everyone all of a sudden switching up on Frank. I think it shows a bit of desensitization to reality.
I'm not able to go to coachella because i live in Europe and the trip would cost massive amounts of money. Seeing that frank canceled livestream of the event literally made me cry
He dont hate his fans he just doesnt give a damn about publicity/celebs. Hes just a man who wants to make music Not a superstar Not some huge celeb He doesnt wana have his name printed on a star in hollywoood He just wants to make his music and LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. Not be a slave to the press This being said -- why didnt he just reject the offer and let someone who actually enjoys their career play? Was just a waste of not 1 stage, but 2
I'm neutral when it comes to Frank Ocean, but don't generally listen to his music. He did suffer an ankle injury, but not the day of the performance. Changing the set at least a day prior would've been way better than day of or hours before-how rude to production, the skaters, dancers, etc. To me, it seems like he generally just didn't care. He probably could've plopped a stool on that walkway, sat the whole performance and sang his little heart out lol. I'm sure fans would've appreciated that more and actually being able to visibly see him.
kanye at least respected his fans enough to cancel his set a week before the festival. like people who were going just for him could resell their tickets, no one would be standing in the desert for 12+ hours for a half assed set, and coachella was able to find a new performer for that time slot who could do a full show. really bad news when kanye cares about a group of people more than you
Anyone that's a fan of Frank should have seen this coming sadly. As soon as i heard he was headlining i knew something was gonna go wrong. Dude is a recluse
I honestly think it looked like a great show. There were obviously problem that caused the delay, and if Coachella really had a curfew how is that Franks fault?
The uk’s festivals put coachella to shame, such good vibes all round and great performances. You guys in the us just have giant instagram opportunities basically
Frank was not ready to perform out there while still grieving his brother death. idk why he took the gig, he should have not headlined at all, maybe do the set before but yeah. He did bad, hope he does better this Sunday and he can heal from this experience to do great next time.
man if i wouldve missed a boogies set to stand there and wait for frank to come out and perform that mid ass set i wouldve been livid not to mention the amount of money wasted
i was there since noon waiting for his set, missing WILLOW and a lot of other acts to see him close up. extremely disappointing to see him half-ass his set and do whatever he could to get it over with. lost so much respect for him
Schoolboy Q showed up like 40 min late to his set at hard summer years ago. A lot of us missed out of other big names just to see him and he just didn’t even care and was an asshole about being late. I still listen to his music but I’ll never pay to see him perform after that.
It wasn’t shit visually personally I think it was cool. Now he did sing I think the media is getting that part wrong he didn’t sang some songs. People who complaining about the rave wtf that’s what concerts are about you don’t know what to expect. That’s what makes concerts cool it’s a different experience every time. The real problem is him not addressing what happened and apologizing to the fans there. Personally I wasn’t there but do see the livestream and I liked it it was a whole relief searching IG, Twitter, Tik Tok. But I understand the peoples anger. But Coachella is also to blame here they didn’t tweet anything out and had to wait for TH-cam to tweet.
You didn't see the livestream. Frank didn't allow them to livestream his performance and was the only musician at Coachella 2023 Weekend 1 whose set wasn't livestreamed. Why are you lying?
I think regardless of what he would’ve done. Most people still would’ve hated it. The set design was like a concave rectangle with a light rack aiming both the audience and him and the whole idea of the huuuuge led screen was that it was a panoramic screen that scrolls thru simultaneously with the cinema lens camera dolly (you can see that on the recorded clips) and the ice skate rink idea was to just see dancers interpret his songs while he would sing from the back. With no vision whatsover on Frank. Honestly, that sounds way more disengaging than getting to have a glimpse at Frank in the stage. Maybe it was for the better not to have that ice rink setup
Was 2 years ago. A death in the family is shit and it takes however long it takes but I dunno bro. Why take the headline if you not up for it. Not everything is about you
This happened to me with JuiceWrld, but not to this scale. It was just a small venue in Massachusetts. But he showed up like 2 hours late, so me and my buddy stood there listening to the worst opening acts ever. Then when he finally showed up he performed like 5 songs and two of them were lucid dreams 🥲🙃
@@Logjambam Katy Perry literally discovered her husband was going to divorce her out of nowhere and STILL went out and did a full performance. Frank ocean will NEVER be the victim of his own actions.
I love Frank but this is absolutely absurd. Just do a normal set of your greatest hits without weird pauses, delays, interludes, and mixes. White Ferrari is supposed to be an ethereal, slow burning song but he totally botched it.
I don’t get all the „fans“ in the comments and even some h3members talking about being there live and still not a single mention of franks brother … he even mentioned it on stage how Coachella reminds him of their shared experiences. It’s barely been 3years since his baby brother died, he hasn’t performed live since then. That’s a person on stage after all.
For those saying it ain't weird... it is. It's weird behavior and very disappointing. I really hope he doesn't do the second weekend if this is how he's going to act. Mourning or not, he should have canceled if he wasn't fit to perform.
Unfortunately it does not matter. Given the magnitude of this performance, Frank should have known his limits if grief was the reason for the performance being lacking. This is coming from a huge frank ocean fan, I wish him well but this performance was unacceptable :(( really disappointing
It’s understandable that hes grieving his brother, but why sign up for a headliner at coachella and get paid millions to perform just to NOT show up on time and give an awful performance. He signed up for it the least he couldve done is given a good performance on time
I love h3, but I don’t like the fact that they assume so much shit about the stories they cover. In this case, they know absolutely nothing about what happened backstage (and neither do I), but they assume Frank got out of his way to disappoint his fans. The h3 podcast knows how easy it is to paint someone in a negative light through media, and yet they fail to recognize that they are doing it themselves. 👎
you're right but its the fact frank has pulled this before. how can he be such an unreliably performer to the point where people will literally pay money to see him and him only and he KNOWS that and he still pulls things like this? its like disrespectful as hell, and im a frank fan.

People, it’s okay to be honest about an artist rather than completely hating on him or supporting his bad decisions because it’s Frank. I think that if he really wasn’t feeling comfortable to perform than he really should’ve not performed and we would’ve been understanding. But to cancel last minute plans, be an hour late, and only sing a couple songs is disappointing. To cancel a livestream for one of the BIGGEST headliners. Also, I hope he understood the level of anticipation was set high, cuz in the end, this is a festival that hundreds paid to see and come travel to… Frank is creative and amazing, if only he really was more organized, he really could’ve given the best performance of the night.
Edit: he canceled week 2…

The Brad Pitt thing was after his divorce with Angelina, and he found Frank's music at the time to help him through the hardtime. I'm pretty sure Brad reached out to Frank to tell him and he asked him to join his performance.
he’s just like me fr
EXACTLY THANK YOU!!!! These people just aren’t real fans
@@softestsoftmatter I feel like it was such a big cultural moment at the time too! Like it was a big deal that Brangela was breaking up, Blonde had just come out, Frank wore that iconic t-shirt; it really elevated Franks performance art. I remember everyone was talking about it.
Words that have to do with the ridiculous plan to just film him pretending to talk on the phone?
Frank could have dead ass sat in a stool or just played piano and it would have been a great experience.
I camped there for 6 hours… even close to the stage it was nearly impossible to see him. The stage purposely covered him…
I was there and so disappointed he didn’t take his fans into consideration. Me and 2 others had made ourselves to the front (10ft rom VIP) and we waited for 6 hours!!! Thats standing in the same spot for that amount of time w no bathroom breaks and we couldn’t even sit in our spots because the crowd was so dense. Within our section there were 8 ppl that needed to get pulled out of the crowd and we saw one guy pass out next to us. It was absolutely scary at times and I even felt like I was abt to pass out!
People are spreading misinformation. He was an hour late, and it did get cut short because of curfew. But it was an hour and 20 minutes long, and he did sing, there is one clip of him dancing (not singing) to Nights that has led people to believe he didn’t sing anything, while I know that’s false because I watched it. But personally I didn’t think it was as bad as people are saying. It was a little messy at points but it was movie-esque, beautiful visuals and production, just wish you could see him more.
Watching the playback, it still seemed pretty great. But I will never pay for his ticket and expect him to show up lol
@@Shay416 Exactly. He did handle it in a pretty shitty way, especially now dropping out next week after people have spent thousands solely to see him. But that doesn’t mean his week 1 performance wasn’t great and you get to spread lies. 😂
@@xtravagancy7023 that’s what happens when your an asshole to your fans. Narratives start forming
Easily spent 2k to go see this man as a bucket list item. Been a fan for over a decade since I was a teenager and now that I have a stable job with good cash flow this was my first big purchase. I heard so much about how he treats his fans (not refunding vinyls that ship months late and are shattered) but I guess I chalked it up to having a bad team. After this, I truly feel he resents his fans. Whether it’s because of fame, anxiety, etc he resents us. Doesn’t resent the money we earn him though
Thinking about the fact that Katy Perry found out her and Russell Brand were getting divorced right before her show and STILL went out and performed.
Lady Gaga literally broke her hip on stage and continued the show.
An ankle injury… and then deciding to change the whole set an hour before
Queen
Not to mention she has fibromyalgia too.
Do yall love seeing people suffer wtf?? Reminds me of my old boss. What do you mean you cant work because you're sick?? 😮😮
@@kiki_ci3880its not that he didn’t work. if anything thats what ppl wanted. physically and mentally he was not fit to be on stage, yet he made it a mess for the audience and Coachella programers and fired tons of people last minute
@@revechae i read he already had a contract with coachella since 2020 and he could be fined if he didnt perform. Seeing artists or anyone in general do their work while sick is just tacky for the viewer sorry. But i understand the backlash.
Both Bad Bunny and Backpink gave amazing shows. There’s no excuse for Frank Ocean’s half-assed show
Your taste of music is horrible
I can't believe I actually respect Bad Bunny more than Frank now. Reggaeton sucks, but at least he seems like he cares about his fans.
@@mysticfellow9843 please badbunny threw a fans phone
@@Allireallyneedisspace and? He should atleast do something like make a merch for $100 and give them shein tshirt to be compared to what frank did
@@P0115-p8o he also did even do a show for all his fans in Mexico who couldn’t get in because people where making fake tickets but then goes ahead and does a free show in PR. So yeah he also didn’t care if his fans lost money
I saw frank ocean at fyf fest in 2017. honestly, it was amazing. I've been to hundreds of concerts and dozens of festivals at this point and his set is still top 3. at the time, people in the crowd said we'd be lucky if he showed up. his antics have been known for a long time, he always shows up late if he does at all. it's a shame he's like this but knowing this as most fans do, you're gambling by waiting at that stage all day. I'd never do that. enjoy the festival that you paid for and never put all your eggs in one basket especially one as flaky as this. I'd guess the guy plays festivals bc he can flake out in comparison to his own arena show and no way a tour would ever happen. as much as an artist might want to play his music to a live audience it doesn't feel like he wants to and really should just release music if he wants to (I don't think he wants to do this either really).
Did anyone else see Justin Bieber made an Insta post praising frank ocean for his set and saying his performance inspired him as an artist and then turned the comments off?
I feel like something is happening behind the scenes it’s all so weird
Are they members of the same church?
Yeah I saw that looks like damage control to me
Zach saying 30 feet and then seeing it being less then 10 feet is halarious 😂
Apparently those people were walking around the stage because they were supposed to be dancers or figure skaters that were going to do some kind of choreographed performance as part of his show but then he decided against it at the last second so the skaters didn't know what to do so that's why they were walking around in circles apparently
I mean why not just tell them to take the night off? Lol ....
Ian sacrifices so much for the show!
I think there were a few things goin on and Frank tried his best to mitigate the negative consequences. He’s been awkward in live performances before, he’s human and maybe this whole time he’s not trying to be “elusive” he just has anxiety issues he doesn’t discuss. Also him cancelling his livestream was probably bc he feared due to the ankle injury and changing his whole set would make a less than stellar show. Finally, being at coachella was a daunting reminder of his brother who passed and since he was contractually obligated to perform in 2020 (contract was probably done while his brother was alive) he had to honor it in ‘23-which he did. I know I sound like a stan but I’m really just trying to reason it out with all the info out now.
Ok now go back to the start of his career and explain the consistent pattern of flaking on his fans since day 1. It's literally what hes known for at this point, way before an ankle injury or his brothers death. The pattern goes so much further back than 3 years
@@ruminationstation4200 ok and explain the beautiful music he’s been giving us going back years before that. I’ve seen him live yrs ago amazing show. Sure , he’s difficult, he’s particular, he’s picky, he’s an asshole he’s all these things but maybe that’s the duality of his genius. One bad show and we tryna cancel him? Y’all petty and entitled af lol
Seriously… Metallica just put out an album. Give them the Sunday spot. They won’t even need to bring in their set. Just them, a stripped down stage, on the fly pyro and lights… boom.
Taylor Swift literally performed with a literal chunk of her skin missing because of an accident backstage at the Eras tour in Houston and live singing and dancing for 3+ hours with 44 songs WITHOUT missing a single note or a beat. There is a reason she is the biggest popstar in the world.
i read somewhere they had to melt the ice and that’s why it took so long to start the show, he completely changed everything last minute, and mostly lip synced songs (like no mic in hand). people really paid for a listening party. there’s also rumors it wasn’t live-streamed because they’re doing an HBO documentary on his return to music. (They may mention this stuff later in the video, but I haven’t gotten that far) I know his brother died a couple years ago and I would also still be struggling with that if I was him. So I’m sure it was a combo of things. I do feel for the attendees tho.
He only lip synced like 3 songs. The only people saying he lip synced most/all are the people that have been angry at Frank for YEARS for not releasing music- don’t pay attention to those weirdos. I’m not saying that excuses lip-syncing at all- it’s still weird and disrespectful. It’s possible there was a reason for it though, whether it be something out of his control or some sort of symbolism (since the 3 were some of his most popular songs, like Chanel that everyone uses on TikTok, and he tends to be a symbolic artist. For example, the whole reason he remixed all of his old songs for the performance is because he’d prefer people to focus on the experience over singing along. My personal assumption is that he was also hinting at what his upcoming music will sound like).
Point is- we really don’t know the reasoning behind anything, and while the frustration is super valid (especially for the people that attended), I think we should be open to possibility instead of just assuming Frank hates his fans & chose to be lazy in his performance. I fully understand the assumption, but some people have explosive/unhealthy anger because of it. The openness to possibilities is necessary.
@@Konnordawg ikr. theres a massive amount of entitlement towards artists from fans to be delivered a specific output. art is supposed to be unique and expressive and its quite obvious frank is frustrated by the restrictions of the mainstream music industry. IMO frank does seem like a bit of a dick but also its a shame that an event like coachella has completely destroyed any expectation of variety or subversion within their artist's performences. its a shame music is so often viewed as a consumable product as opposed to as you alluded, art open to analysis.
If he’s not up for it mentally, then he shouldn’t perform. He wasn’t forced to be there…
Surprised about the lip syncing? They all do it
@@Konnordawg He took the $4 million check. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

when will y’all stop saying he hates his fans HE DOESNT he just don’t give a fuck about fame but y’all asses decided to pressure him to make more music, go out your way to record him living his life and all
that shit
TBH at least he disappointed a coachella crowd out of all possible audiences
What does this mean
@@chillarypuff people who go to coachella tend to be annoying and rich
If Frank doesn’t make it next weekend have Tame save the show. Dude performed in crutches in LATAM and killed it
Tame Impala saved the show when Kanye cancelled last time. They are always SUCH A TREAT!
so nobody gonna talk about how people lineup for hours for frank ocean merch and he didn’t have any? no merch, an hour late, and cut off early. I, personally, liked his set. i thought his set was amazing but
Either he is going through a deep "I Don't Give A F" depression or he had a severe narcissist panic attack which is when a narc realizes he is not up to his ideal vision of himself and feels very unworthy and disappoints everyone around them (especially treat the people you work with like shit). Wait... Did you ever work with people like this?
Well considering how he talked about his brother a few days before this.. i would say its the former
I was there… so wild. At first we thought okay, he’s gonna make us wait he’s playing with us building us up… we’ve waited this long okayokay, and then the camera work and his entrance… we thought it was just artsy and mysterious and it was gonna snap into some kick ass show. And then it just never did!! I feel lucky I saw him, it had so much build up the years before this set, this had so much potential to be incredible.. but he’s been such a musical hero for me, and now I listen to his music and it’s a bit tainted :( Hope he’s okay… but as a fan it was brutal. I feel so bad for his die hard fans who camped out all day waiting for just him… all for that. Love Frank but damn
He doesn’t care about u at all , ur a fan to a fool lol
I was there for the Brad Pitt moment they’re talking about and it was actually pretty cool because it coincided with an alternate version of Good Guy and Spike Jonze was doing the camerawork. Most LA moment of my life to this day
I don't understand why the ice skaters couldn't still do the show they practiced? Frank doesn't have to be the one skating like just sing
Something had to have happened, it sounds like he had a total breakdown before the show… I just hope Frank is okay (and making new music, too)
No excuse .
I haven't watched H3H3 Pod in awhile. Thank you for covering this 🙏
Welcome back family 🙏
I think it’s funny I had no idea who Frank Ocean was until all of this happened and I am super glad that’s the case 😂
Could we work on setting up nice backdrops for all of the staff? :)
I'd kill to watch Zach perform omg we need an album
Honestly I don’t blame Frank. I see why people are upset but someone did say it was short but he did perform for more than an hour. They’re making it seem like he was out there for ten minutes.
Again he said how his brother would drag him there. Coachella is happy moments with his brother. Grief doesn’t just go away over time. It’s only been 3years. I’m sure he felt a way after being there without his brother. It probably started to hit him harder.
I left Saturday night and sold my ticket for Sunday for $250. Best decision of my life
You missed the dance party at the outdoor stage. I left Sunday after fisher and Chris lake. It was perfect.
@@Coconutca I danced enough the two days before lol my body was HURTING by Sunday
watching the crew talk
about a topic they know nothing about is so frustrating.
To show that covers topical news stuff. Of course, they're not experts in Frank ocean's career. I'm not an expert either, not even really a fan, but it's a topical news story and it's interesting to observe.
I understand it can be disappointing but he lost his brother going on 3 years ago, Coachella was a place that brought memories for him that I’m sure was hard to process and just with the chaos in general. He even mentioned that but naaaah fuck a human beings grief right?
For y’all to cash out on a festival for ONE person is absolutely a bad investment on y’all end. Artist are human too, I still loved seeing him but I wasn’t only there for HIM and that’s why my money doesn’t feel wasted not even a little.
Still love that man!
You a real one. I think people forget Artists/Musicians are humans. I’d be happy just to see and hear Frank Ocean live!
If Frank ocean knew he wasn’t up for it, he should have respected fans and crew by letting them know ahead of time. Why would he make the crew reconstruct the stage the day of if it was about grief. People made fun of Rihannas sb performance for not dancing hard enough while pregnant, but Frank should get a pass to waste other everyone’s time and efforts?
@@uncommonfolder_ I’ve never been able to experience frank in person so when I tell you I was in awe, his voice was enchanting! I really wish I coulda told him how much his albums helped me make it through most of teen-young adult life. Shit was a blast.
18 of his songs were played (excluding DJ set) fuck id be so excited to see it irl tbh, but im annoyed bc ppl just saying 6 songs or a couple song.
its not just his show everyone is making it seem like they wasted all their money just to see him... its a multiple day event ?!
They're saying he only sang 6 songs
I wish I was there !!! ppl are so fucking insufferable

You HAVE to play the video of Dave Grohl letting his orthopedic surgeon sing the white stripes at his concert!!!! DR.lou. its the funniest thing in the world!!!!
I've been dick riding Frank Ocean for years. Love his music. That particular Close To You performance in FYF you guys were talking about when Brad Pitt appeared, Brad pretended to "listen" to the song from his phone because listening to Blond helped him after his divorce with Angelina. Pretty nice touch if you ask me.
With that being said, what the fuck was Coachella performance?????? 💀💀💀
FYF was miles ahead, so fortunate that you guys got to see him.
Idk just a bunch of rich kids spending thousands of dollars for Coachella and waiting 10 hours to see frank is crazy 2 me, then everyone all of a sudden switching up on Frank. I think it shows a bit of desensitization to reality.
I’d also like to state that we have all made mistakes whether accidental or with motive. Just ours are not public.
YUP . a performance is better than nothing i thought it was beautiful I love frank I WISH I WAS THERE
I'm not able to go to coachella because i live in Europe and the trip would cost massive amounts of money. Seeing that frank canceled livestream of the event literally made me cry
You’ll be ok
He dont hate his fans he just doesnt give a damn about publicity/celebs.
Hes just a man who wants to make music
Not a superstar
Not some huge celeb
He doesnt wana have his name printed on a star in hollywoood
He just wants to make his music and LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. Not be a slave to the press
This being said -- why didnt he just reject the offer and let someone who actually enjoys their career play? Was just a waste of not 1 stage, but 2
I refuse to believe they don't know Charli when they're on top of everybody else 💀
I was at that FYF performance and I was so disappointed with Frank ocean. I’m not surprised about Coachella drama
I'm neutral when it comes to Frank Ocean, but don't generally listen to his music. He did suffer an ankle injury, but not the day of the performance. Changing the set at least a day prior would've been way better than day of or hours before-how rude to production, the skaters, dancers, etc. To me, it seems like he generally just didn't care. He probably could've plopped a stool on that walkway, sat the whole performance and sang his little heart out lol. I'm sure fans would've appreciated that more and actually being able to visibly see him.
kanye at least respected his fans enough to cancel his set a week before the festival. like people who were going just for him could resell their tickets, no one would be standing in the desert for 12+ hours for a half assed set, and coachella was able to find a new performer for that time slot who could do a full show. really bad news when kanye cares about a group of people more than you
Anyone that's a fan of Frank should have seen this coming sadly. As soon as i heard he was headlining i knew something was gonna go wrong. Dude is a recluse
I honestly think it looked like a great show. There were obviously problem that caused the delay, and if Coachella really had a curfew how is that Franks fault?
his fault because he didn’t do his full set because he was late!
@@iknowpeace you don't know why he was late
@@sejtbrugernavn he was late because he made Coachella deconstruct his original stage and organize a new one at the last minute
The uk’s festivals put coachella to shame, such good vibes all round and great performances. You guys in the us just have giant instagram opportunities basically
Frank was not ready to perform out there while still grieving his brother death. idk why he took the gig, he should have not headlined at all, maybe do the set before but yeah. He did bad, hope he does better this Sunday and he can heal from this experience to do great next time.
Frank has made two of the best albums of the past decade, this is so disappointing.
man if i wouldve missed a boogies set to stand there and wait for frank to come out and perform that mid ass set i wouldve been livid not to mention the amount of money wasted
if your leg was injured days before the performance why wait till the morning of to change the set
"2022 before the pandemic"
Ian missed KNOCKED LOOSE for this clown.
i was there since noon waiting for his set, missing WILLOW and a lot of other acts to see him close up. extremely disappointing to see him half-ass his set and do whatever he could to get it over with. lost so much respect for him
I hope you learn something, Coachella is a festival. If you’re only there for one show. You’re not doing it right.
Willow is amazing and always performs well so I think you learned a valuable lesson..
@@Coconutca i came for so many people but wanted to see my favorite artist close up? i went all three days lmao i hate people who say that shit
Schoolboy Q showed up like 40 min late to his set at hard summer years ago. A lot of us missed out of other big names just to see him and he just didn’t even care and was an asshole about being late. I still listen to his music but I’ll never pay to see him perform after that.
It wasn’t shit visually personally I think it was cool.
Now he did sing I think the media is getting that part wrong he didn’t sang some songs.
People who complaining about the rave wtf that’s what concerts are about you don’t know what to expect. That’s what makes concerts cool it’s a different experience every time.
The real problem is him not addressing what happened and apologizing to the fans there.
Personally I wasn’t there but do see the livestream and I liked it it was a whole relief searching IG, Twitter, Tik Tok. But I understand the peoples anger.
But Coachella is also to blame here they didn’t tweet anything out and had to wait for TH-cam to tweet.
bffr it was not a good performance.
You didn't see the livestream. Frank didn't allow them to livestream his performance and was the only musician at Coachella 2023 Weekend 1 whose set wasn't livestreamed. Why are you lying?
contrary to popular opinion i feel Frank.
Why?
exactly, it was a good ass performance I wish I was there
I think regardless of what he would’ve done. Most people still would’ve hated it. The set design was like a concave rectangle with a light rack aiming both the audience and him and the whole idea of the huuuuge led screen was that it was a panoramic screen that scrolls thru simultaneously with the cinema lens camera dolly (you can see that on the recorded clips) and the ice skate rink idea was to just see dancers interpret his songs while he would sing from the back. With no vision whatsover on Frank. Honestly, that sounds way more disengaging than getting to have a glimpse at Frank in the stage. Maybe it was for the better not to have that ice rink setup
Dude lost his brother everyone has to be chill ffs
Was 2 years ago. A death in the family is shit and it takes however long it takes but I dunno bro. Why take the headline if you not up for it. Not everything is about you

This happened to me with JuiceWrld, but not to this scale. It was just a small venue in Massachusetts.
But he showed up like 2 hours late, so me and my buddy stood there listening to the worst opening acts ever.
Then when he finally showed up he performed like 5 songs and two of them were lucid dreams 🥲🙃

He should have just said no. It's not cool to do that to his fans.
I'm with Dan on Frank Ocean. Dan the Hater and Jess the Hater. Divas are the worst. I'm glad Dan sees the disrespect.
I don’t get all the „fans“ in the comments and even some h3members talking about being there live and still not a single mention of franks brother … he even mentioned it on stage how Coachella reminds him of their shared experiences. It’s barely been 3years since his baby brother died, he hasn’t performed live since then. That’s a person on stage after all.
Coachella may never book him again. And his insurance probably just went through the roof
Frank and his fans really are those cockroaches that no nuclear bomb can destroy. Don’t be surprised if we see him get booked again after this lmaooo.

For those saying it ain't weird... it is. It's weird behavior and very disappointing. I really hope he doesn't do the second weekend if this is how he's going to act. Mourning or not, he should have canceled if he wasn't fit to perform.

How could y’all not mention his brother :( I’m honestly surprised not one person knew or read it in chat. Rip Ryan
i agree! idk when ryan passed away but i think he should have just cancelled. i feel so bad for frank :(
Unfortunately it does not matter. Given the magnitude of this performance, Frank should have known his limits if grief was the reason for the performance being lacking. This is coming from a huge frank ocean fan, I wish him well but this performance was unacceptable :(( really disappointing

I love h3, but I don’t like the fact that they assume so much shit about the stories they cover. In this case, they know absolutely nothing about what happened backstage (and neither do I), but they assume Frank got out of his way to disappoint his fans.
The h3 podcast knows how easy it is to paint someone in a negative light through media, and yet they fail to recognize that they are doing it themselves. 👎
you're right but its the fact frank has pulled this before. how can he be such an unreliably performer to the point where people will literally pay money to see him and him only and he KNOWS that and he still pulls things like this? its like disrespectful as hell, and im a frank fan.
Bet he still made money tho. Respecting the grind
