I knew that The Weeknds voice is like woahhh but after this I realize that no one can sing his songs like him, can not give us even 50% of what he does, there is just something that Weeknd gives us, like you hear that sexual passion thing in his voice thats just mannn...
In my opinion The Weeknd sounds a lot like Michael Jackson, making his voice really hard to do. However, these contestants do a good job singing, just not mimicking The Weeknd’s sound.
He wants to be the next Michael he has talked about it being his main inspiration and yes I agree they have their own styles to it but it doesn’t sound like his.
@@raygun2180 No he does NOT want to be the next Michael.... The Weeknd is the WEEKND.... he’s not “the next Michael Jackson” ... he got inspiration from Michael just like he got inspiration from thousands of other artists. Don’t ever say he wants to be the next Michael again cuz that’s not even close to being true
@@lp712 Bro take a breather shit ain’t that serious you just repeated the second part of my comment which was me further explaining what I was tryna say. Acting like I’m tryna be your best friend with a gun held to your family damn YT frogs
I swear every time the weekend drops a new album he has an entire new look and persona... not a lot of artists do this and his music has a different energy with each album 😭❤️
What I love about watching this is that each singer takes on his music and provides their own unique flavor to them, nothing sounds like just trying to imitate! Like every artist is providing their inspiration, passion and soul
I wish they let them sing swears because you can be completely into it and then they have to change a word and you're like... wait.. that's wrong... and it takes you out of it.
Most people listened to songs that are in mainstream. Like in after hours album everyone is talking about Blinding Lights and it's only music video from his album with highest view and other songs only got something around 2 to 5.1 million views (audio version)
@@jacobunofficial1146 those aren't even his best cover songs. Except for shameless tbh. If you want a good cover song that would put some of his music out there Kissland and Echoes of silence would be a good place to look.
I really liked the girl singing "Call Out My Name" her voice was so warm and the performance was amazing 😍 And the guy after her was wonderful too damn 😭 that soothing voice and that soulful guitar I stand for this ❤️
I can’t imagine another artist doing what The Weeknd has done. I wasn’t alive for Michael Jackson’s era, but The Weeknd has put out eight masterpiece albums. His music has more depth than any other artist and he’s done it consistently for an entire decade…. So from my view he has passed every artist including Michael Jackson who he’s so often compared with.
@@Kurayami04 sorry im wrong, you can sing in any style, but you should always be singing with your own voice.... Because it is what makes your voice unique.
@@hoii4358 Weeknd does have other songs that could be good for showcasing vocal talent. I mean, ellie golding's cover if high for this was pretty bomb. These are just his most popular songs.
Franc West though....ughhhh Every single word he sang came from deep within and every single word meant something. His rendition was by far the most soulful. What a man and what a voice.
These Kings and Queens did these songs justice. The Weeknd would be proud. 💜💜💜 Just wish some picked one that wasn’t so mainstream as The Weeknd has so many songs that are just amazing .
It´s good they were not mimicking Weeknd ´cause he is very unique and insanely talented and his voice is just out of this world BUT they did a really great job, each having their unique voice and style. I heard Sheldon and I love him, his vibrato is just something else. The jazzy guy gave me chills, it was just pure pleasure to listen to.
I really wish they did other songs. Valerie would have been perfect for this context. Lots of places to switch up your vocal chops. Or As you Are. Or Die for You
Agreed ! I think die for you would've been a great cover , maybe they're too scared because honestly it's more than hard to try and sound like or even close to Abel .
All these covers proving just what a perfect singer Abel is..Sensual yet making us feel all kind of emotions... He is one of the best vocalist on Planet 🌎
the weeknd is an artist that not everyone understands by his reflection behind each song, but without a doubt for those of us with strong thoughts he is without a doubt someone who captures many situations in a very exponential way, I love him and his songs, and watching covers is satisfying but no one will match his greatness
I knew that The Weeknds voice is like woahhh but after this I realize that no one can sing his songs like him, can not give us even 50% of what he does, there is just something that Weeknd gives us, like you hear that sexual passion thing in his voice thats just mannn...
They all weren't even close to any of the Abel's song
@@samarthshah402 2:10 was actually pretty fine but yeah not even close
Well, to be fair the weeknd does use auto tune lmao
@@thechocolatemilkcurse884 watch Alone Again live performance and Scared to live performance he’s better live than studio
Dude I thought I was the only person that thought that
no one can sing the weeknd song his voice so pure no fantasy
Yeah you're right
Yesss
I mean they need auto tune to get it perfect
@@KaylumHSQ watch theweeknd lives bro
@@KaylumHSQ watch his live concerts they are even better than the studio version
The covers were really good, but no one can sing his songs like him
Are you related to Abel 🥺
Factssss
Bet😏
literally lmao
None of them tried to sound like him tho
They sound like monday
Ajajajajajajaajajajajaja
Lol

The Weeknd's voice is so buttery soothing to hear, no one can achieve his vocal cord strength
Anything with the weeknd I’ll listen to over and over

Purrrr
I think The Weeknd’s songs are bad to do covers over 😭the expections are too high 😂
😂😂😂😂
fr
Its really cause it doesn’t sound nearly as good, its like the weeknd writes his songs only for him to sing it😭
@@vonthegreat870 lol even Justin tried and failed. Search his love me harder by Justin and Ariana live
@Aldermar.g K you maybe right. That was the issue many people trying to do covers for Michael Jackson songs ,the expectations is too high.
People don't realise how amazing Weeknd is as a singer. His songs really are his, nobody else can come near
In my opinion The Weeknd sounds a lot like Michael Jackson, making his voice really hard to do. However, these contestants do a good job singing, just not mimicking The Weeknd’s sound.

I Can Make The Voice Like Him ..
The first guy nailed that hills have eyes part....
I thought he was whatever until that part I agree it was almost spot on.
Nah
He was shit until that bit. And after.
But he nailed that part.
No he didn't
The weekend is justin bieber
The second guy is straight up Sam smith singing call out my name.
thought the exact same thing
😭
His songs are a lot like sam smith's ones, I love both of them
Oh I see what you did there.
Celine Dion joined the chat
The third guy has one of the biggest albums in Nigeria and Africa right now. His name is Chike
His voice is perfect
@@LuanOliveira-pu1rw check him out
Love his voice!
He is Noe a big star
Wow awesome
The Weeknd is one of the GOATs, in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
Thank you!!
For sure. ❌⭕️
On god XOTWOD
its Weeknd
@@kid9463 ong
when you realise that the weeknd alone is now a bigger artist than all these judges careers combined.
True af🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fkn yeah
Not true... 🤦🏻♀️ how old are you?
@@alexia542 At the moment? Yes he is.
@@alexia542 it is true rn
After watching this video, I realised that The Weeknd has a unique voice and nobody can’t singing his songs better
ok the third guy is amazing
I saw this comment when I'm at him and like true
Heck yeah.. I was like why's no one talking about him
You should check out his debut album - the boo of the boiled on Apple Music and Spotify, it’s beautiful.
Boo of the booless by Chike
Listening to these doesn’t feel right. It only sounds right when Abel sings it himself
frs
Yes , I’m french and i love a song from Rhe weeknd , it was so beautifull .🥰🤗🤩
They can't really sing
IKR
@Meklit E Facts girl . Let the truth be spoken
I swear every time the weekend drops a new album he has an entire new look and persona... not a lot of artists do this and his music has a different energy with each album 😭❤️
They are really brave to choose one of the Weeknd’s songs
What I love about watching this is that each singer takes on his music and provides their own unique flavor to them, nothing sounds like just trying to imitate! Like every artist is providing their inspiration, passion and soul
It's very hard to cover abel😅 the second guy did well though.
Absolutely agree !
Yesss
Yea
Yes I loved it
And fellow second from last -- can’t believe NO ONE turned around for him ???
The one at 6:50 is definitely my favorite. He made it his own. Geeeeez
He is absolutely amazing!
Is there a complete version??
The best one frfr
The first guy : 'I'm messed up, I'm messed up that's the real me, yeah!'
Me (a real XO) : Something seems wrong
i mean they really can't curse on tv they won't let them
First guy: I'm messed up
Me: yeah no shit you messed up.
I wish they let them sing swears because you can be completely into it and then they have to change a word and you're like... wait.. that's wrong... and it takes you out of it.
Its messed up that's what it is.
Coulda went with "fogged" up or something lol
Seen THE WEEKND in title clicked immediately without thinking twice 💝❣️
Omg same
Makes me sad that these people don’t know that The Weeknd has other good cover songs too
Most people listened to songs that are in mainstream.
Like in after hours album everyone is talking about Blinding Lights and it's only music video from his album with highest view and other songs only got something around 2 to 5.1 million views (audio version)
Like?
@@danielalberto6260 dark times, as you are, shameless, real life, there I was never etc..
@@jacobunofficial1146 those aren't even his best cover songs. Except for shameless tbh. If you want a good cover song that would put some of his music out there Kissland and Echoes of silence would be a good place to look.
Fr they should have done wicked games
All these singers are incredible in their own amazing ways. But the thumbnail is a pathetic clickbait.
Like a lot of people here have said, they didn’t sing it exactly like The Weeknd but they sang very well in their own respective styles.
After watching all of this I understood that only THE WEEKND has that unique angelic voice and no one can ever beat him
All his songs are hard. But call out my name is HARD. anything mdm or kissland.
I like how they dont try to sound like the weekend but sing the song in their own way which makes it soo good
I don't think anyone could ever sing "earned it" like The Weeknd did and that's facts.
I can tho. No cap
here after the superbowl performance 😭...they dont come even close
th-cam.com/video/g_ro1DSurpY/w-d-xo.html
They weren't even trying to sound like him, what do you mean by "they dont come even close"?
Funsho is straight up the only guy that worked that "Earned it" cover like a pro
5:24 was so gooood omg
I loved it❤️❤️
Finally somebody
Yeah that one hit a little different 😢
Yep, I was wondering how she didn't get the 4 chairs
Absolutely!
I really liked the girl singing "Call Out My Name" her voice was so warm and the performance was amazing 😍 And the guy after her was wonderful too damn 😭 that soothing voice and that soulful guitar I stand for this ❤️
Sensacional ver The Weeknd sendo representado por essas grandes feras.

Who else was like: “turn around idiots!”
Xd yas
ikr😑😑
Me
All the time
Me, even before the binding lights hit. I was screaming the shit out of them to turn around
My favorite of all of these is Franc West. The richness of his tone, his ability to lean-in and still be lyrical. Stunning 🙌🏼
"They were good but nobody else can match with his voice tone..." And it's a fact 🔥
The fifth guy, (Camm Wess,) EARNED a WIN from me with his RIFFS and RUNS. GREAT cover
These people are amazing and yet it also goes to show that The Weeknd is still on another level
💯💯
None of them sounds nothing like the Weeknd. His songs just can't be covered, he is a unique talent.
That's not even the point of the show
**Someone sings a famous song**
Singers: "That's Very Good!!!"
Non singers: "Well, it's good but he doesn't sound like the original artist"
I think you meant "anything" like the Weeknd.
I can’t imagine another artist doing what The Weeknd has done. I wasn’t alive for Michael Jackson’s era, but The Weeknd has put out eight masterpiece albums. His music has more depth than any other artist and he’s done it consistently for an entire decade…. So from my view he has passed every artist including Michael Jackson who he’s so often compared with.
That hills have eyes part hits me from the 1st guy.
Why no one sang the new songs or even the old old songs
cause no one can get that close to singing a perfect trilogy or kiss land i guess.
cause its hard to sing his songs lmao
Probably cause a lot of these fans haven’t heard his older songs. Also, a lot of his older songs have dark/erotic lyrics.
bc they didnt have the voice for a while bc of covid soooo they couldn't do the new ones
Licensing plays a role and then I'm sure the contestants are encouraged to only pick certain songs.
6:20 they got real talent and 10:20 when he hit that note!!
the girl just rocked up🔥🔥🔥 "call out my name"
Listening to all these people trying to get close to abels voice is amazing because makes you think how good is Abel himself!
Damn, the girl that sang Call out my name did it S I C K
None of them even got close to sound like The Weeknd.Which is completely normal.
I can proudly say that no one can match THE KING WEEKND ❤️❤️
Everytime they hit us with the “CALL OUT MY NAMEEE” I smashed my imaginary button
Noone can body the weeknd the 2nd guy was good though. Fun fact, the weeknd actually performs better live than his actual songs.
Omg I dont know why but that brought tears to my eyes bc he sounds so good on his songs 😍🔥😩
Lord weeknd supremacy
Now I can almost confirm that it's very hard to imitate The Weeknd's voice😂
Why would you imitate the weeknd when you can just sing with your own style?
@@makahranas7365 it's because I don't have my own style
@@Kurayami04 sorry im wrong, you can sing in any style, but you should always be singing with your own voice.... Because it is what makes your voice unique.
And i think non of these singer tried to imitate the weeknd's voice
@@makahranas7365 yeah you have a point but legit the weeknd voice is rare and very hard to sing.
All the same songs 😔
Adrian Jaime what?
Ik ¿^¿
I came here thinking some freak would sing something from kissland or triology but no..... 😭
Young Bb they can show their voices better in these songs
@@hoii4358 Weeknd does have other songs that could be good for showcasing vocal talent. I mean, ellie golding's cover if high for this was pretty bomb. These are just his most popular songs.
Claps for all participants
Hey man, congrats on your last release, I'm enjoying "take my breath".
😂
Seriously
yes! clap clap 👏
@@btandayamo You do realize that’s just a random fan account, right?
There’s no check mark by his name, and his PFP is the After Hours cover.
No one can sing his songs better than abel himself dude 😭 the vibes from his voice is something else 😭♥️
Michael Jackson 😌🔥🔥 the king of pop lo destruye
All these comments are saying they can’t sing like The Weeknd, but they simply singing for themselves, their own unique voice
The Weeknd is really someone who is unreachable, incomparable, improbable to replicate
Franc West though....ughhhh
Every single word he sang came from deep within and every single word meant something.
His rendition was by far the most soulful. What a man and what a voice.
9:23 guy with hat was fu king amazing! Incredible unique voice!
Fun Fact : The Weeknd Actually Watched This And So Proud Of Himself And Laughing too 😂
But I Must Say All The Singers Are Unique In Thier Way ❤️😇
Do they only have the rights to 3 songs lol
I think they all choose those songs to show off their vocal range and I guess The Weeknd has a wide vocal range in those songs
I would’ve sang something of his mixtapes or trilogy. That’s The Weeknd I fell in love with.
Yep! Like all reality shows they copy one another very limited song use
Because others is too dirty for a tv show 😉
Sheldon is amazing.
YESSSSSIR
He is pure magic
Sure ❤️
I love him from the start: from do you really want to hurt me to show must go on.
th-cam.com/video/g_ro1DSurpY/w-d-xo.html
Actually The Weeknd's voice is something that nobody of them can replace, but they did very good performances as well.
Abels voice is Gods gift to him man appreciate him more after hearing these people sing his song
Maricuecos🌟🥇🥇🥇🥇🌟🥇🌟🥇😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃💙
nun of them sound like abel
The first guy did sound like The Weeknd on the ending of The Hills. Obviously not the same but it was pretty spot on.
its not the goal to sounds like Abel
Facts no one can
He is legend bro
If it ain't XO
7:20 sounds like john legend is singing it 😂
Or Ceelo Green
@Kevin Parra That's what I thought 😂
Yeah I noticed that too🤣
Exactly
Who's here after save your tears 😶
XOTWOD
Handsome SQUIDWARD
Franc West: ' I'm a photojournalist you know"
" YEAH!"
who would do a cover over a weeknd song😭😭The Weeknd Perfectly executes them so there is no way of topping it off
The girl singing call out my name literally brought tears to my eyes cuz it was so beautiful oh my gosh.
Amé amé! 🥰
10:00 be hitting those true weeknd notes
I see nobody, nobody...
Plus his voice was quite similar to TheWeeknd at that start.
I never knew i took the weeknd’s voice for granted until i listened to these guys
ima go listen to abels actual songs bc this hurts
Damn the second guy is so good😭🤩🤩
John Legend doesn't only listen to the singers, he feels the songs. That makes him a LEGEND
There is only one abel and thats him only
Yes! My husband 🤍🤍🤍
There is one only one one and that's one one one one *ONE*
10:23 so close
Ahhhh goosebumps everywherw🥶
Wow- loved Sheldon Riley Call Out My Name!
Abel's voice is unbeatable with or without autotune.No one can top that.
These Kings and Queens did these songs justice. The Weeknd would be proud. 💜💜💜
Just wish some picked one that wasn’t so mainstream as The Weeknd has so many songs that are just amazing .
7:54 that was one hell of a cover, it didn't sound like the original and that's fine I prefer it to the rest but they were great as well!
No
Goofy Plays You’re damn right. He kind a reminds me of Charlie Wilson a little bit.
Best one
It´s good they were not mimicking Weeknd ´cause he is very unique and insanely talented and his voice is just out of this world BUT they did a really great job, each having their unique voice and style. I heard Sheldon and I love him, his vibrato is just something else. The jazzy guy gave me chills, it was just pure pleasure to listen to.
The last boy was cute as hell. Charisma is something you need to be born with.
I really wish they did other songs. Valerie would have been perfect for this context. Lots of places to switch up your vocal chops. Or As you Are. Or Die for You
Agreed ! I think die for you would've been a great cover , maybe they're too scared because honestly it's more than hard to try and sound like or even close to Abel .
1st Song! Absolute banger!👍🏻
Bro the second guy gave me chills!
Why can’t everyone just admit that these people are talented? They did a very good job and yet some people here seem to praise Abel a lot.
The guy in black, sheeeesh, he killllled it with solo much confidence
All these covers proving just what a perfect singer Abel is..Sensual yet making us feel all kind of emotions... He is one of the best vocalist on Planet 🌎
I believe Weeknd is the only one who can sing his songs....
the weeknd is an artist that not everyone understands by his reflection behind each song, but without a doubt for those of us with strong thoughts he is without a doubt someone who captures many situations in a very exponential way, I love him and his songs, and watching covers is satisfying but no one will match his greatness
that first one i was unsure until he did the 'hills have eyes' line..... that was a m a z i n g
Ok this is surprisingly good!🔥🖤
6:19 john loved that dude because he sounded just like him lmao
fax
How is this guy not famous!?!?
Ha pesar de ser mexicano encanta the weeknd me encanta save your tears, un ídolo nacional
What's wrong with the second guy? He sings outstanding but wearing a bird's nest.
Because The Weeknd had the birds nest at one point it's an omage.
It lowkey do look like The Weeknd's old hairstyle
