So why not write a show about the experiences of a young male pop stars experiences?

This was an exhibition in gratification masked as art.
@@Man_eee Watched the final episode and I finally get this show. Weeknd is really trying to tell us something . If you're at the top (like him)...you've had to do some really disgusting things deplorable things to get there. My question remains...why not have the main character be a reflection of his experiences?
RIGHT. Like if his goal was to help warn younger (especially female) artists then why didn't he stick with the original director??? It's mind boggling.
Isn’t it his show and he has a vision on how he wants this story to be portrayed? If he wants to demonstrate how in a sense his career/life could have played out and use a female lead what’s wrong with that. What if the ex director wasn’t doing a well enough job portraying the story. The lead role is female but the story is from a males point of view and personal experience.
i think the main focus was emphasizing the general dark side of the industry rather than focusing particularly on the womens experience in the industry. but the direction they seem to be moving in they should have considered not telling the story in a male lense
Agreed. From this moment on women are also not allowed to display any type of male experience in a movie or tv show. Female director or writer = female only charactersm
Nah this show is just straight up, Abel and Sam Levinson using “story telling” as a way to explore their own fetishes… I would’ve loved to see the original version instead of this

Don’t see why people is so shook about the things going on in his show, he’s been singing about this stuff for years now and people wanna act brand new, goes to show how real his so called “fans” are..
Personally it wasn’t bc I was surprised. Just disgusted bc he makes it sound so beautiful in his music until he physically acts out what he sings about and that’s when it gets nauseating to watch bc nobody really actually wants to see him do what he means in his music, it’s just corny.
House of balloons/glass tables came on my playlist the other day and I legit shuddered. That used to be one of my favorite songs and now I just hear Tedros 😭
that’s what happens when your expectations are so high for an artist doing something different such as acting. if you were a fan of his music for several years, this wouldn’t happen trust me
This dude isn’t romanticizing anything. He’s literally giving you guys exactly what happens behind closed doors. He’s barely giving us a glimpse into that world . There’s way more stuff that has or is still happening
You are smoking some heavy stuff if you think that Tedros is how this guy acts in his day to day life. I was watching footage from one of his shows in 2023 and when a girl flashed him he got all shy and bashful. He literally seems like the total opposite of Tedros in real life.
I never found him attractive per-say but him acting has made him look unattractive in my opinion. BTW musicians are horrible at press conference that aren’t about their field of work😂😂😂 Harry styles is like”I want a movie to feel like a movie”, and Abel is just like “ummm…. Umm..” I know these well seasoned critics and reporters are tired of these singers giving vague, pointless responses 😂😂😂

I love that he figuring out the meaning afterwards for himself. Its constantly evolving and finding new meanings of our art. While knowing the message ahead of time can be beneficial to production. It can also spoil the mystery unfolding for ourselves.
He's not very articulate true but I suppose you don't have to be to make music and act, it's a sonically and visually feeling based enterprise. I imagine he has people around him who just get the way he talks and probably talks the same
“I get to do what I love with the people that I love…” Idk fam, I’m starting to think you’re more like Tedros irl so hearing you say that is more of a red flag to me😂
Its funny how all the things addressed in the Idol are public knownledge about the beast that is the Hollywood show buisness, but when they are openly discussed and potrayed in a drama series everybody has a problem.. Personally I think the show is being bashed because the reality is most of these celebrities live double lives and people dont want to accept the reality about showbiz..Monsters are monsters in secret..Thanks to this OG for shining a light on things we probally would've never seen/imagine are happening behind the closed doors of multi million dollar mansions❤❤
I’m surprised that most of the interviews do not talk about how the character was grieving throughout the show. They also did not mention anything about the brush and what it meant in the end when he said that the brush looked brand new. The interviewers seem to only focus on the fact that she was a popstar and that’s about it.
@@Zachd500it’s pretty simple. The music/entertainment industry is grimy, abusive, corrupt, and preys on the weak/innocent/exploitable. People are always trying to figure out how to make money off you and take whatever they can off you. Especially young artists. He can relate from his early years and how if he made different choices his career and life could be way different. IE losing all his money or letting substances take total control over him.
I'm sorry I saw a meme saying that The Weeknd looks like Mickey Mouse with human ears and it's haunted me ever since, I can't look at him the same way after that. You can't unsee that too, right?
As a young singer, songwriter who os heavily inspired by The Weeknd I'm really looking forward to rewatching The Idol to learn more from the man himself 😌😌😌❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
That's the point. The worst thing about The Idol is that it's not going anywhere. No life lessons, no interesting stories. Just a crazy non stop "party".

Because he looks like Abel here. I think the point of the weird rat tail look was to make Tedros a distinctive character.
ya his natural demeanor here is something I feel like alot of people would've liked...and he would played it easier since he would just be playing himself
I love that he figuring out the meaning afterwards for himself. Its constantly evolving and finding new meanings of our art.
While knowing the message ahead of time can be beneficial to production. It can also spoil the mystery unfolding for ourselves.
He is not okay
I could listen to his voice all day 🥹🥰
he was about to laugh he knows it’s bs
What a vacant human being. He’s just a shell
How can such a big star have so little charisma?
hes always been a pretty shy person. He is just passionate about his music
seems like the weekend needs some therapy for those “experiences”
5 days short of a week.
LOL
Watch his music videos. Thats what his saying. They all have significant information. He made the wrong deal. Sold his soul
The best I've seen him look in a while tbh XO
And he look so terrible😂
I could listen to him forever. He's the GOAT.
There is a reason why this man never really do an interview his whole music career cos look at him blabbering like a fish without the ocean.
who are you to judge
I talk exactly like this. 😂
Judgmental
He's not very articulate true but I suppose you don't have to be to make music and act, it's a sonically and visually feeling based enterprise.
I imagine he has people around him who just get the way he talks and probably talks the same
@@calaesthetics2297 I think he is aquarius 🏺 ♒ so no need beliebers here......shut up
Bro is being held at gunpoint
💀🤣 I think this show is lesson for you for not making cringe shows
“I get to do what I love with the people that I love…”
Idk fam, I’m starting to think you’re more like Tedros irl so hearing you say that is more of a red flag to me😂
He doesn't even believe in what he says here...
Its funny how all the things addressed in the Idol are public knownledge about the beast that is the Hollywood show buisness, but when they are openly discussed and potrayed in a drama series everybody has a problem..
Personally I think the show is being bashed because the reality is most of these celebrities live double lives and people dont want to accept the reality about showbiz..Monsters are monsters in secret..Thanks to this OG for shining a light on things we probally would've never seen/imagine are happening behind the closed doors of multi million dollar mansions❤❤
Michael Jackson too. Artists have been saying this. Sorry I had to add him
You could make a show about even darker topics and people would gobble it up if it was executed in the right way and the actors perform their best.
@@neerajcherukuri4052 exactly! Because darker topics have been portrayed: OITNB, 7 Seconds, Park Central Five, AHS, the Dahmer series etc etc etc
@@TckleBxxStfu. Michael's allegations have been debunked for years. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and getting your opinions from TV.
I’m surprised that most of the interviews do not talk about how the character was grieving throughout the show. They also did not mention anything about the brush and what it meant in the end when he said that the brush looked brand new. The interviewers seem to only focus on the fact that she was a popstar and that’s about it.
I absolutely love this show
NO LUCK ABOUT IT SON, YOU HAVE MEGA TALENT.
That show needs to come bacc on
He looks like bruno mars and Johnny depp had a baby
😂😂😂😂 is this guy insane
Not as much as you are
telling truth but avoiding mistakes... you know they are watching him now lol
"right decisions"...he's a DUDE in the industry. GOH!!
this dosen't make much sense but ok
How so?
Every word made sense to me ,dont know what you're talking about
@@Zachd500it’s pretty simple. The music/entertainment industry is grimy, abusive, corrupt, and preys on the weak/innocent/exploitable. People are always trying to figure out how to make money off you and take whatever they can off you. Especially young artists. He can relate from his early years and how if he made different choices his career and life could be way different. IE losing all his money or letting substances take total control over him.
It’s crazy how the Weeknd hasn’t been mentioned amongst all this Diddy stuff. As an XO original fan, Abel’s got some explaining to do 😅
Perhaps the reason he has not been mentioned in all that is because he is not involved in that genius🤣🤣
I'm sorry I saw a meme saying that The Weeknd looks like Mickey Mouse with human ears and it's haunted me ever since, I can't look at him the same way after that. You can't unsee that too, right?
I’m so proud of you❤
As a young singer, songwriter who os heavily inspired by The Weeknd I'm really looking forward to rewatching The Idol to learn more from the man himself 😌😌😌❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This man got plastic surgery on his jaw 😂
Proof ?
and his cheeks too
I love the Weekend and the show..
And THATS why we decided to tell it from the perspective of the male abuser!
The show is not told from the perspective of Tedros. Why are you spouting misinformation?
Thought this was Lenny kravitz😂😂😂😂
Need a season 2
💀
This is the first time I've ever heard him talk, and like all his music
Why not make it tasteful and meaningful
As if you can do anything better
@@uyigodfrey get a life
That's the point. The worst thing about The Idol is that it's not going anywhere. No life lessons, no interesting stories. Just a crazy non stop "party".
@@uyigodfreyyou must be one of The Weeknd’s b!tches💀💀
