Some say he's the Millennials Michael Jackson, I think he's a good singer but no where near MJ levels.

No current singer has the voice, style, or performing abilities of Michael Jackson.

Anyway, aside from I Can't Feel My Face, I don't really like his songs.

It's in my top 3, but I definitely prefer both Starboy and The Hills

I think he's great, I like most of his hit songs, though not the current one, I Feel it Coming.

Don't understand the odd shape of his hair, but otherwise a great singer.

I just listened and watched Earned It which he did for Fifty Shades of Grey

You're insane if you don't have some appreciation for some time off after a long workweek. Freedom days, literally.

I like some of his stuff. Not a fan of the individual behind the music though.

I'd heard the name, but had no idea....youtubed.....yawn, pop music still sucks...who knew?  I was hoping it was that two piece band where the drummer is always hopping....my wife loves that song from the Suicide Club soundtrack by them and I have a love hate relationship with it now.

but The Weekend is not them, it's some boring guy singing boring while boring (obviously computer created) music plays.  Music should be fun, not boring.  Music should be made by humans, not computers....and I know where this argument goes and I just did it all my head to save time.  My final line is "yeah, well, synthicizers are barely musical instruments and they killed what little was good about Van Halen!"  Needless to say, I lost that argument and computers are perfectly acceptable ways to make music...and who the hell am I to say whether that's true or not,  or whether this dude sings boring sh**t.  If people enjoy him, good for them.  How I feel about it means nothing to them.


why yes, I am a little intoxicated, why do you ask?

FF.

Those three songs are definitely, by far, his best. Personally, I prefer his style to MJ's, but I acknowledge the content and talent of MJ's work was considerably better.

Much better than 90% of Top 40 stuff nowadays. Also a fairly nice dude, I think. And a Canadian! Solid FF

That was good too. My favorite song of his is In the Night

Amazing singer with similar characteristics to Michael Jackson.

https://youtu.be/yURRmWtbTbo

If i could sing like that, i would whack on the afro, paint my self black and get the band down the discotheque every weekend.

Such a gift to have a voice like that.

"Bad Singer" in the sense that I personally dislike his music, not that he has a particular lack of talent or anything. If it were FF vs. HP I'd probably vote FF.

As far as current top 40 music goes, he's one of the best. It's not a high bar at all, but it's clear he has real talent.

I like the guy.  "I Feel It Coming" does have an MJ vibe, somewhat.  Smiley
