The Weekend


Well, just watched the half-time Super Bowl, and I am impressed and (should I say it?), surprised by The Weekend.  Perhaps it's my biases at play here, but I am shocked and happy about it.  Or as I was coached at my job, my "unconscious bias".  I loved it!

"Didn't Michael Jackson lip sync? He curiously sounded almost exactly like the recordings."


One time I saw and heard him, he did sound very close to recordings. Just a little more of a, believe it or not, growl at times. Music was different, but he was flawless. Lyp-syncing, or not, those were a couple of hours of extraterrestrial experience. As my friend said when we were leaving the stadium..."What happened to us? Where were we? Did someone abduct us for a while and brought us back now?" Granted, we were way way in the front and it was the first concert of that tour.
I have seen him in concert twice and he did not appear to lip sync. The super bowl I am pretty certain he did.
I had heard some of The Weekend's songs on the radio before but didn't really know who he was. They were catchy but didn't think much of it.

Then the song, "Blinding Lights" came out and I really liked it and paid a little more attention.

I like all kinds of music, POP, included but mainly 80's music. 

Blinding Lights has a 80's vibe and so that is why I like it.

Then I heard his song, "Save Your Tears" and absolutely loved it. Another song with 80's style to it.
Performed during the half time show.

I don't really understand his style or anything (especially with face bandages) but that's ok because I am not really following him or watching his videos but like his music.

So I bought his new "Highlights" album, a compilation of his greatest hits so far.

The album sound quality is really good! If you like POP and like his songs, you should get that album.

Sounds really good.
