I don't think Trilogy is for Dad it's too dark and he clearly states on here that he's not a big fan of that. I think he would like The Weeknds Pop music more.
Dad's comment about a deeper or rougher voice complimenting the sound better is very interesting. What made The Weeknd stand out so much when he first dropped really was the discordance between his falsetto, which has such a strong association with more sweet/pretty music, and the luridness of his lyrics along with the dark atmospheric music.
@@Progressive.Gnot liking a certain genre of music is cool but why go out ur way just hate on him. Weeknd and drake are the top 2 artists in the last decade. Ur opinion tells me majority ppl would probably not like ur music taste.
Trilogy The Weeknd was peak The Weeknd for me. Always loved his songs that have more depth to them, now it's all about making catchy dance songs. Which is sadly something nearly all R&B guys start doing.
First of all what R&B guys are out there right now...doing ANYTHING? And considering that the vast majority of R&B guys are black, you are basically chastising any of them for making music that garners mainstream appeal. Do you hold black female singers, or white guys or white women to that same standard? Sit down. Secondly he has been consistently less confined to R&B.

That's the problem, R&B guys constantly go in to shitty dance music because it makes more money generally. That's the whole point of my complaint lol.
The Party & the After Party if you wanna stay with this era. It’s longer but the music and vocals keeps you more engaged and his voice matches the lyrics better 😂
I think The Weeknd’s vocals are sometimes underrated. I saw him live and his vocal tones sounded so clean. And your dads right about Eminem. It definitely has that vibe. And I think this song plays when he’s in the uncut gems
Dad is so innocent and authentic. I like Dad. Kai too but I mean in a Dad kinda way lol I respect The FrontRoom’s acknowledgement and appreciation of musicality and the highlighting of various components of a song 👌🏾👏🏾
@@frontroomcould you please cover some Chicano artists or songs ? It would be so interesting to see your take and your dads take on some raps like lil rob no soy de ti or some kid frost
The trilogy was such a good mixtape drop nobody knew who he was but the instruments and voice were so different but I prefer this compared to his new stuff
I think the Eminem chorus remark isn't actually that far fetched. I could see it. The piano in the background and parts of the beat actually have an 8 mile era Eminem vibe to them.
And the layering maybe ? Thing is their voice are nthg alike and one can actually sing so it's hard to compare. But I think I can kinda hear what he's hearing.
Love your content.. as an 80s baby. I just want to hear a few RnB classics reacted to: Deele - Two Occasions Maxwell - Ascension (dont ever wonder) Sade - Kiss of Life Tony Toni Tone - it never rains in Southern California Aaliyah - Try again or One in a million Toni Braxton- Unbreak my heart Shai- If I ever Fall Mint Condition - Pretty Brown Eyes Luther Vandross - House is not a Home ( and possibly side by side with Jamie Foxx- Slow Jamz)
I wouldn't say I'm a "fan" of the weeknd like I dont really ever listen to his music but I honestly love all of his songs that I've heard. in my opinion his voice is just so godly
I remember when I was watching this guy on UA-cam in 2011 who was talking about this song just coming out.. epic times. Was blown away with the sounds and voice.. this was before all UA-cam advertising !!!!!!!!!!!
This is the first Weeknd song I’ve heard, when I was listening to the Southpaw soundtrack album, the second one was The Hills remix with Eminem. From there, I was convinced
If you think the Weeknd's singing style is unique than you all should check "The Dream". He's an slightly older American RnB artists who also sings in a falsetto and has a bunch of hits over the last 20 years including ones he wrote for Beyonce and Usher.
Loved this reaction! I would like to see your Dad react to more Bruno Mars. Doo wops and Hooligans or Unorthodox Jukebox are my two favourite albums of his.
i love the weekend and dad doesnt have to love all the songs and artists but i love the honesty maybe another weekend song will give him another chance
Lol @ dad saying The Weeknd’s voice didn’t strike him as anything note worthy, but he was able to guess who it was in seconds. One of the most noteworthy male voices of our generation 🙏🏻✍🏻
This always gets thrown around. He didn’t write most of the album just four or five songs were originally his or cowritten by him. Now what I will say is this, The Weeknd made his own sound and Drake definitely wanted that sound so I’d say The Weeknd definitely influenced Take Care. Also Drake has said before that Able had a sound that he liked and Able has said that he liked drakes sound and just made it darker, both have given each other credit but I still say the The Weeknd made a better sound.
@Grt1n ok bro, I'm just saying some of the best songs... that I liked, was from him and he never gave him credit and that's why he never signed to OVO🤷♂️
Weekend song is mostly for ppl who can relate and live that life style the night life, club, drugs and strippers the fast life. Your paps might like his commercial ones the wash down kinda pop sings
I defo agree but, (for me) despite not being able to relate personally to that scene, the raw emotion still hits and I’m in love with his music. I can only listen to Trilogy so often bc it rlly impacts my mood and mental. But god do I love it.
you guys should react to more of his songs! i think he would like more of his upbeat songs cause his older songs are darker and really sexual although it is funny to see your dads reaction to them from the other songs he’s heard that featured the weeknd😆
Totally thought Pops was gonna play Chris Isaac for you from the name of the track...lol...btw your dad was completely right about the chorus, I'd even be willing to bet The Weeknd would admit he drew inspiration from Eminem's more melodic choruses, too.
Having been viewer of your channel for time now, i think your father will appreciate NF, you could do "When I Grow Up", "The Search" "Story" or "Clouds"
I dunno if other people have made this recommendation yet, but I'd like to suggest Aesop Rock. Incredibly complex lyrics. "Rings" for a more emotional song, "Dog at the Door" for a bit of a laugh, and "None Shall Pass" if you really want to scramble your brain trying to figure out what the lyrics mean.
I get the Eminem comparison tbh lol. Kinda unhinged, begging someone that doesn't love them for their affection. Also the layering of singing with himself as his back up singers which we get in alot of Em hooks. When it comes to his voice matching the dark tones, I more view it as a dark twisted lollaby, toxic but sung with the voice of an angel.
Trilogy will never be topped one of best mixtapes Ive ever heard in my top 10 of all time,they've just turned him into a crap Michael Jackson Sound a like
THANK YOU! I'm a patreon supporter for this kind of stuff. I love early weeknd.
For a full Trilogy or After Hours, Dawn FM i will be a patreon supporter too!🫡
you should play him the whole mixtape, there should be something there he would like
EXACTLY
I don't think Trilogy is for Dad it's too dark and he clearly states on here that he's not a big fan of that. I think he would like The Weeknds Pop music more.
No, go straight to _Beauty Behind the Madness_ please 🙏
@@Man_eee tbh im a new follower so i dont know him that well yet, but i agree. if hes going to show any project id go for the newer projects
The Party & the After Party
It’s like 7 1/2 min long but keeps my attention
One of my favourite Weeknd tracks. This whole trilogy album hit me so hard when I first heard it. Thanks for the reactions homies.
Dad's comment about a deeper or rougher voice complimenting the sound better is very interesting. What made The Weeknd stand out so much when he first dropped really was the discordance between his falsetto, which has such a strong association with more sweet/pretty music, and the luridness of his lyrics along with the dark atmospheric music.
He just sounds like a sad, whiny, emo dude on his old stuff
@@Progressive.Gyou mean being emotional? Men are allowed to show their emotions even through music. I get it. Too real for some of yall 😂
@@angie-jo1mn naw it's just too corny and whiny

Really House of Ballons for me😂
@@C3LSU I mean the songs are on trilogy.
i disagree Dawn FM has so much depth to it and its far from mainstream
5:50 it’s cool how Kai & Dad start nodding to different tempos. they recognize different things as an old & new listener
The Party & the After Party
if you wanna stay with this era. It’s longer but the music and vocals keeps you more engaged and his voice matches the lyrics better 😂
When he said Mariah Carey, I’m not gonna lie I busted out laughing so hard, your dad is so cool
I think The Weeknd’s vocals are sometimes underrated. I saw him live and his vocal tones sounded so clean. And your dads right about Eminem. It definitely has that vibe. And I think this song plays when he’s in the uncut gems
The Weekend - Call My Name
His voice as a break up song is everything!
Dad is so innocent and authentic. I like Dad. Kai too but I mean in a Dad kinda way lol I respect The FrontRoom’s acknowledgement and appreciation of musicality and the highlighting of various components of a song 👌🏾👏🏾
One of his best hits for sure! Loveee The Weeknd!
Kai your father playing his invisible instruments always makes me smile. Protect this man
He’ll probably like “Adorn” by Miguel. The song is so short that it leaves you wanting more.
hands down my favourite song by the weeknd. So much feels.
went through a few vids, this dude has extremely similar music taste as me lol
Glad to hear you enjoy the videos!
Kai
@@frontroomcould you please cover some Chicano artists or songs ? It would be so interesting to see your take and your dads take on some raps like lil rob no soy de ti or some kid frost
You guys definitely need to do more of the weekend. The Birds would have been a good one!
Your dad may have a point..I think the deep voice he's looking for can be Giveon....him singing this song will also be pretty fire tbh
Giveon is a good pick. My ass was thinking about teddy pendergrass 😂 it would still be tight ngl
Dad was spot on with the choruses delivery being stylistically similar to eminem, he has a great ear.
IF U MAKE HIM LISTEN TO A WEEKND ALBUM MAKE SURE ITS AFTER HOURS. Id say thats the best way to capture the weeknds sound
The trilogy was such a good mixtape drop nobody knew who he was but the instruments and voice were so different but I prefer this compared to his new stuff
Surely it’s honestly perfection
The whole mixtape is probably his best work, he does a Dirty Diana cover called D.D which is pretty good
I think the Eminem chorus remark isn't actually that far fetched. I could see it. The piano in the background and parts of the beat actually have an 8 mile era Eminem vibe to them.
And the layering maybe ? Thing is their voice are nthg alike and one can actually sing so it's hard to compare. But I think I can kinda hear what he's hearing.
Glad my comment wasn’t totally out in left field! Thanks for watching. - Kai’s dad
Not out of left field at all.
Weekend - The hills remix ft Eminem. Check that out 👌
Play for him king of the fall - the weekend 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎸🎸🎸
Bro the weeknd old music is literally goated nothing can top it ! Show other songs this like one of his mildest songa
I think we’d all love to see a reaction of The Weeknd’s entire discography at some point!!!!!👀👀
Been a minute since I’ve checked in the with you two. Glad to see things are still going well.
Love your content.. as an 80s baby. I just want to hear a few RnB classics reacted to:
Deele - Two Occasions
Maxwell - Ascension (dont ever wonder)
Sade - Kiss of Life
Tony Toni Tone - it never rains in Southern California
Aaliyah - Try again or One in a million
Toni Braxton- Unbreak my heart
Shai- If I ever Fall
Mint Condition - Pretty Brown Eyes
Luther Vandross - House is not a Home ( and possibly side by side with Jamie Foxx- Slow Jamz)
EDIT: also I would love love love.. to see some blue eyed soul. Bring me some Allen Stone or Teddy Swims. That would be amazing!
TheWeeknd is amazing. His music is a narrative of his life.
Have your dad listen the the song after hours by weeknd . So amazing
After hours the song I think was one of the best on that album. That whole album is amazing though.
Your dad was actually spot on about Eminem. You need to show him “The Hills remix.” Featuring Eminem.
YES!!!! He was spot on! You have to play him that track 🔥
No. Only the original. Who tf wants to hear an Eminem remix to the hills? The em fans be killing me 😂😂
@@TheIcemanthomas😂😂😂
I'd listen to it.@@TheIcemanthomas
My fav Album from the Wknd! Very raw! One of the greatest voices of his generation.
I wish Michael Jackson was here to witness The Weeknd. Play DD by The Weekend but don’t tell Dad it’s the weekend. See if he thinks it’s Michael.
💯💯💯 it’s so crazy to me how him and Michael has very very very similar voices
My favorite weeknd song ever. The reason why I love him now
This album deserves a reaction!!!
this video really was ignored by the algorythm, don't stop! need more of these
High for this has really good production, and it's a great opener.
The excitement I got when I found out y’all r reacting to my favorite artist ever
Been waiting for you to react to the weeknd. Do it fully bro 👌🏾
The Weeknd writes his own music.. 💯
Outside- The Weeknd
You guys should listen to CREW LOVE with drake and the weekend
Heartless, for dad! It's upbeat I can see him jamming!
I wouldn't say I'm a "fan" of the weeknd like I dont really ever listen to his music but I honestly love all of his songs that I've heard. in my opinion his voice is just so godly
He makes the dark comfortably uncomfortable 🖤
I remember when I was watching this guy on UA-cam in 2011 who was talking about this song just coming out.. epic times. Was blown away with the sounds and voice.. this was before all UA-cam advertising !!!!!!!!!!!

I think your Dad would love Starboy
Loved this reaction! I would like to see your Dad react to more Bruno Mars. Doo wops and Hooligans or Unorthodox Jukebox are my two favourite albums of his.
Yoo mariah killed this track mann fo shoo😂💀
Should've started with High For This from House of Balloons, The Intro into The Weeknd's world.
What you need - The Weeknd
Whole mixtape would be awesome!! Or maybe Dirty Diana. Or anything 🖤 XO
i love the weekend and dad doesnt have to love all the songs and artists but i love the honesty maybe another weekend song will give him another chance
This is my favorite song by The Weeknd
i hope we get more weeknd this was fun to watch
Do rolling stone, Valerie, call out my name. Your dad will probably like those.
Absolutely love you guys man! A relaxing atmosphere and sooo chill. Could listen to it all day. Keep killing it guys 🔥👊🏼
Toronto represent! But I think they all inevitably move to Los Angeles for most of their career 😢
PLEASE PLEASEE go THROUGH THE WEEKND JOURNEY WITH YOUR DADD!!!!!!
Lol @ dad saying The Weeknd’s voice didn’t strike him as anything note worthy, but he was able to guess who it was in seconds. One of the most noteworthy male voices of our generation 🙏🏻✍🏻
Gotta show him take care and how the weeknd helped make it
This is the coolest dad ever ngl. He is right to the bass line on this song is funky af.
Show your dad The Weeknd D.D. his cover for Dirty Diana
Theweeknd technically wrote most of Drake's album...Take Care
I wouldn’t say that 4 songs is “most” of Take Care…
@@VRoxityPromo I really meant most of the best rb songs
This always gets thrown around. He didn’t write most of the album just four or five songs were originally his or cowritten by him.

@@cincostarr88 I agree with you, The Ride, Crew Love, Shot for Me and so on are definitely some of the best on the album.
Crew love. Natural progression
Man you HAVE to show your dad Sidewalks Ft. Kendrick the people need it
The Weeknd - XO/THE HOST
Weeknd 🔥 🔥 🔥
Weekend song is mostly for ppl who can relate and live that life style the night life, club, drugs and strippers the fast life. Your paps might like his commercial ones the wash down kinda pop sings

Can wait for album reaction!!
Great reaction. Have you ever explained why your dad has never listened to so many huge artists/songs?
You should play him D.D. See what he thinks about it
You can try SACRIFICE by the wknd. Kind of has a Michael Jackson feel to it
Damn dude really in his feelings ignoring his dad during the song 😂
Great content from you guys as always!
you guys should react to more of his songs! i think he would like more of his upbeat songs cause his older songs are darker and really sexual although it is funny to see your dads reaction to them from the other songs he’s heard that featured the weeknd😆
Totally thought Pops was gonna play Chris Isaac for you from the name of the track...lol...btw your dad was completely right about the chorus, I'd even be willing to bet The Weeknd would admit he drew inspiration from Eminem's more melodic choruses, too.
You should play 'Earned It' by The Weeknd form Fifty Shades of Gray for dad.
react to his Dirty Diana cover, your dad will love it
I can't unhear the Eminem comparison now💀
As an Eminem and Abel fan I’m very fine with the comparison
Ricky Hill(Tommy Hillfiger's son) "Nomads" feat. The Weeknd is to me one of The Weeknd's best verse. Still darkish for him at the time
Also The Hills
It is funny to see somebody who does not care for Abel. Because I was gone as soon as I heard the very first Weeknd song
Having been viewer of your channel for time now, i think your father will appreciate NF, you could do "When I Grow Up", "The Search" "Story" or "Clouds"
The first time i heard his voice my jaw dropped! It really stood out!
Kissland is his best album imo, pops should give it A listen 👌
I dunno if other people have made this recommendation yet, but I'd like to suggest Aesop Rock. Incredibly complex lyrics.
"Rings" for a more emotional song, "Dog at the Door" for a bit of a laugh, and "None Shall Pass" if you really want to scramble your brain trying to figure out what the lyrics mean.
I’m sure your dad will love and knows Jim Croce I’m 20 and he’s one of my favorite artist
One to definetly react to would be Rick Ross feat The Weeknd - In Vein
I get the Eminem comparison tbh lol. Kinda unhinged, begging someone that doesn't love them for their affection. Also the layering of singing with himself as his back up singers which we get in alot of Em hooks.
When it comes to his voice matching the dark tones, I more view it as a dark twisted lollaby, toxic but sung with the voice of an angel.
I was thinking the same thing while listening to this, the guitar gives off Eminem production vibes.
Fave album.
Maybe get him to listen to the party & the after party?
Great song
You dad will love Dawn FM and After Hours!
After Hours is his best album by far, if you do another song from him I'd say something from that album
Trilogy will never be topped one of best mixtapes Ive ever heard in my top 10 of all time,they've just turned him into a crap Michael Jackson Sound a like
The Trilogy album was by far his best work! Echos of Silence might be a winner for Dad
You should play him the song “In Vein”. Rick Ross feat. The Weeknd.
Play him
I Feel It Coming or
Out of time
