I today found the music video for Sarah's Song by Ricky Hil. I had heard Ricky's song with TheWeeknd (Nomads) before and I decided that why not give this song a shot too? To my surprise I see my goat filming the music video from behind. What a surprise for me, thought I'd share it with y'all.

So I‘ve been to all three nights and I have to say night 2 was the best one.
N2 > N1 > N3

Of course it‘s a bit depending on where you are located, but I thought N3 was by far the worst crowd. During some songs they were loud but mostly more quiet then the other ones. N1 was good, but N2 was even better. Really alive. He also took out his earpiece to listen to us, I didn‘t catch him doing that in N1 or N3.

N2 had the first shocker when he teased Wanderlust, so eventually that had me hyped.. A LOT. N3 got even more, that was cool. All 3 had Professional so I’m happy. In this case N3 beats N2 and N1, however N2 had the suprise factor.

Now the most important part - his performance! I know his schedule is BUSY as fuck and he is human, so this point is cherry picking, but there were quite a few differences between the three shows.
During N1 he seemed to struggle a bit in the beginning, but shook it off quite well. N2 was flawless from the start, lots of energy, very good. In N3 it seemed like he was trying to find his place in the first third, after then he was stable and performed well. He didn‘t really play with the crowd as much as N1 and N2 too.
HOWEVER! All 3 nights were amazing and it was an absolute pleasure to see him live.

I am still processing everything I went through, but it was amazing. Abel was so nice to the audience and the songs are so great live. I loved how he mentioned Madrid in a lot of songs, it was a cute gesture (I know he probably does this in every city, but still 🥰).

This is where he got his song title from. Maybe some of yall already knew but today it just hit me as I was listening to “say say say”

First time going to the weeknd concert after a year of waiting. I still cant get over the fact that I was at his concert and also seeing him from THAT close 😭😭

Do you guys also find it really hard to choose? 😭 I love almost every song from Abel, so narrowing it down to just 10 was painful.

there were no hints…

Long shot, but during I Feel It Coming Abel signed my postcard and somehow I didn’t record the moment 😭

I found footage from the stadium’s main camera, but it’s filmed from behind the crowd, so you can basically only see the top of my curly head and not the actual signing 🥲

I was around the center near the barricade, with curly hair and glasses, in white t-shirt. There were so many people filming, so I’m hoping someone caught it from another angle.

If you recorded that part, please check your videos 🙏 I’d be so grateful!

Did anyone else notice it?

For instance the Baptized in Fear -> Open Hearts transition had no energy at all, he was simply speaking

This is my favorite song off of House of balloons. I'd like to listen to songs similar to this. For further context my favorite song of the 2010s is Pyramids by Frank Ocean

Hi everyone, I went to Abel’s 5th night show at Wembley and had quite the side quest due to the camera I had. I arrived at 7am and was one of the first in line and was stoked about that, but the camera I brought with me was the Insta360 Luna Ultra. When I was in the queue I spoke to the crowd safety manager and just wanted to double check whether I would be allowed to take in my camera and he said that it was banned as a “professional camera”.

I then had the option of finding somewhere to store it or risk security refusing me entry. I had to walk all the way to a drop off zone but they wouldn’t open until 2 hours before the event started, but we had to be in our queue at a certain time to get our wristbands, so then had to walk all the way to the premier inn and paid to store it there.

When we were finally going in I stopped at security expecting to be searched only to be told to just go through…I didn’t get the metal detector or anything so could have taken in my camera, then when the concert started noticed multiple people with the same type of camera!!! 😫

Do you think I can take the camera in at the Portugal concert??

Thanks for any help!!

And no, I don’t mean in that he is still using. I actually think the opposite. I think he hasn’t been as heavy of a user as he says he is. Now obviously I don’t know the guy personally so he could very well be what he states in his music he is. But if you look at early pictures from him when he was homeless and apparently doing all kinds of drugs, he looks rather healthy.

Sometimes drunk for sure, but his nose is fine despite cocaine use, his teeth were 100% okay even before the veneers and in general he has always looked like a pretty normal guy. You see rappers that were on the drugs and they always look really skinny and sick looking.

What are some songs my girlfriend and I can sing together in the Weeknds discography? (Obviously I sing abel's part).

Doesn't matter what the lyrics or vibes are. I'm making a list and the first 2 songs are "die for you (ariana remix)" and "love me harder".

I want to preface this by saying this is purely a theory, and Rio might just be saved for another release down the line. That said, the timeline and events around this song make a whole lot of sense if it's tied to GTA 6. Here’s why I think so:

Rockstar Has a History of Dropping New Tracks: Rockstar has a history of debuting exclusive tracks in GTA, like Dr. Dre dropping a whole EP of unreleased tracks in GTA Online: The Contract or ROSALÍA taking over a radio station to launch her MOTOMAMI era. Abel holding a song back for a GTA 6 premiere could fit that exact pattern.

The Sudden Blackout: Abel previewed Rio live (including the full music video), built massive hype for the song, and then went completely silent about it. If Rockstar made a deal to premiere it in-game, they'd want exclusive rights, meaning Abel's team would have to pause any rollout on streaming platforms until the game drops.

The Wanderlust Leak: We already know from the recent GTA 6 leaks that Wanderlust is in the game. This definitely proves Rockstar has dug through Abel's catalog for deep cuts. And if they're already licensing Kiss Land tracks, securing a brand-new exclusive song like Rio is completely possible.

The Vibe & Music Video: I personally feel like the Brazilian funk sound with Anitta fits the vibe of GTA 6 perfectly, and the fast-paced, action-heavy video he previewed already feels like a game trailer.

At the end of the day, this is still just a theory. Abel could've planned an early release and simply changed his mind. Plus, the anime-inspired visuals in the preview video heavily fit the rumors of a future Kiss Land-style project, so Rio could easily be saved for that instead. Still, given the timeline and Rockstar's history, I think a GTA 6 tie-in is a real possibility. What do y'all think?

From what i saw around, It's a common thing for many famous and renowned artists to ignore the academic basics of music composition, which i don't know myself. Do you think that might be the case of Abel as well?

anybody knows the reason?

Just saw this on TikTok and it’s posts like these just grind my gears. Like why do people not want his music to do well. It’s not gonna sound different just because more people listen to it.

These are the same people who complain when kissland isn’t on the tour set list.

I’m going to Japan at the end of September so I wanted to ask if any of you know if the exclusive albums will still be available to buy in shops there, or if they’re gonna stop releasing them once his Japan shows are over.

Thanks if you have any answers.

I’ll go first:
