So if you sometimes listen to popular music, which I do because I want to keep up with deciding I hate it, The Weekend sounds like the new Michael Jackson. Very interesting, I thought it was Michael! Thoughts? This may have been discussed before, I'm not always on here regularly, so I may have missed it.

He has a beautiful voice, but I find him quite demonic. This song is a little old compared to his more popular works but it's like he's encouraging or advocating r*pe...

'High for the this'

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
You don't know what's in store
But you know what you're here for
Close your eyes, lay yourself beside me
Hold tight for this ride
We don't need no protection
Come alone, we don't need attention

[Hook: The Weeknd]
Open your hand, take a glass
Don't be scared, I'm right here
Even though, you don't roll
Trust me girl, you wanna be high for this

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Take it off, you want it off
Cause I know what you're feeling
It's okay, girl, I feel it too
Let it be, baby breathe
I swear I'm right here
We'll be good, I promise, we'll be so good

[Hook: The Weeknd]
Open your hand, take a glass
Don't be scared, I'm right here
Even though, you don't roll
Trust me girl, you wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this

I can't find a video, there was one on YouTube a while back but can't find it. This perfume ad has a snippet of the song though.

Oh yh he did, something about how he's sold his soul, he always looks dead to me. His eyes are so empty...

His hair was ridiculous don't know why he had that mop on his head!

He definitely reminds me of MJ and I am a huge fan of his voice. His lyrics have a deeper hidden meaning behind them and he always has strong symbolism in his music videos. What a SHOCKER there.

Didn't Aaron Carter claim MJ passed the mic to him? Lmao. Seriously though not trying to hate on the Carter brothers. They are alright. The Weeknd is alright but I don't really like any of his art much. And I like a lot of Michael Jackson songs. So I would never make the comparison.

That's kind of where I was going with it. I've read VC's articles about him, and it just seemed...sad I guess is what I'm looking for.

I realize this now with some of his older music, ex. his song "initiation" https://genius.com/The-weeknd-initiation-lyrics
