I'm a big fan, and I was severely let down by his Coachella performance.
Makes me sort of glad I didn't get tickets to his show here.

I found his Mod Club performance better, and he does have back up singers, his guitar players.

agreed.
Maybe it was because it was outside so the sound wasn't as sharp, I've heard him when he is in a closed venue...with a roof and he sounds great

Yeah it being an open venue kind of hurts him and the need for back up singers. He hit his notes so thats all that really matters honestly. His issues can all be fixed he has a great catalog of music that rivals anyone who is popular now.

This was the flop performance of the first weekend of coachella without a doubt.
The guy can't sing, his band can't even help him out and play together and keep him on top. Overall it was a shotty amateur job with terrible singing. Easily the worst performance of the whole weekend.

yes. yes it was. probably the most disappointing show i've ever seen. me and my buddy were HYPED for his set, rolled there with some girls camping next to us, and he completely blew it. HORRIBLE.
he got a new band this week though, even got the guitarist from Incubus, so i'm assuming it was much better.

Is anyone else at coachella or watching? We're no more than
15 rows back and can't hear his voice at all. Everyone around is a huge fan and not a single person is into it. Ton of people who waited 2 hours (eternity at a festival) already left. This is a disaster. Especially after Frank Ocean murked Friday night.

Interresting. I feel like he'll do better in the small venues he booked for his upcoming tour.

I reallly wanted to go to check his show out too.

Just for The Weeknd's sake, I hope Persia is exaggerating or he was one of the few that felt that way. His first set seemed good, I don't get why the second one would be worse after another week of prep. I'm gonna see him this Friday, so hopefully his indoor and smaller shows are better. Either way, I'm gonna have a blast.

truuu..
I'm watching his set from the first weekend.
I'm enjoying it..
not the best vocal performance a times, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. His catalog, albeit a short one thus far, is some of the most refreshing stuff I've personally heard in quite some time.
cant wait to catch a small-venue show of his.

It was a sound issue more than a performance issue. His mic levels were low as hell to the point that the crowd singing along often drowned him out. Not his fault but I don't see how the issue wasn't fixed after the first song. NO ONE was feeling it. Dude next to me was Ethiopian and beaming with pride before the set. Left midway. I flew from Indiana mostly to see him, left halfway. This can't be how they wanted the performance to sound.

I caught both. If you think Frank Ocean was worse you obviously can't hear notes or have some blind love for the weeknd/hatred for Frank. IOriginally Posted by DiPlOmAt TDOt

I saw Frank Ocean's set from start to finish and I was impressed. The guy can flat out sing. He hit notes that 99% of male singers in the industry out there can't hit, with perfection, and can actually carry himself when his band and sound was off (which it was for Weekend 1.)
Sure, he had to cut them off a couple times due to the mix not blending perfectly, he was clearly upset with the sound he was getting, but It had nothing to do with HIS vocal performance. The engineer trying to mix on the fly after 6 bands before them had messed with the board and make it sound better is where all of the problems come from in a festival like this, and Im not one to complain about that stuff. Its not entirely their fault on that. Frank gave a superb vocal performance.
The Weeknd though...... the guy can't sing. I don't know what else to say. The crowd was hyped for his show too, I even got to my favorite spot (right in front of the sound boards) expecting to hear some great vocals and see a good show....such disappointment. He can't hold the notes, much less hit them. He had no breath, clearly hadn't trained for any live shows. He had the crowd drowning him out on songs, sometimes even letting them sing his part while he would try and hit every 3 or 4 words ("I can't hit it, so I might as well let them take it" approach).
At least I was able to make it over to see Gotye finish up his set.
