this is so fucking cool, Jon. was a tear jerker seeing that pic knowing i’ve gotten to watch you experience his music for the first time to now. you earned this & your hard work is not unnoticed.
the fact that he put time aside to talk to people that he knows appreciate his work knowing he's sacrificing valuable time to prepare for a show that big is a huge indication of his character. what a good guy, happy for you both!
Jon I was emotional watching this! Your effort and your unrelenting dedication to us fans of your channel in spite of any challenges you had to face along the road is why you absolutely deserved to meet Abel. It's also so comforting to actually know that Abel is truly as genuine and warmhearted as you described him to be. After The Idol, it seemed like people were trying to associate Abel and Tedros as one and the same. It looks like that couldn't be further from the truth
This is incredible. Seeing Jon react to all of Abel’s work for the first time and appreciating it was magical and seeing him become a huge fan of abel over time and realizing that abel also watched with us and appreciates Jon’s videos is mind blowing.
Chills running down my spine, hairs standing up like I’m moments away from being struck by lightning. Feel like I just met Abel. I feel so happy to be a part of your community Jon!
YOU DESERVE IT JON (& your wife) You’ve been so positive & consistent with this channel, it was only right you had an amazing experience with your Hero
Been expecting this all along. You're one of the Weeknd's biggest boosters on RUclips. Congrats! He seems like a down-to-earth guy, still in touch with real life and people in spite of his massive success. From a fellow Torontonian
@@nataliedenton1918 I'm glad you think so I love watching people show their loved ones albums that we all love and it does very well on RUclips (turning the tables)
You’re a great representation of us fans who can’t meet him but appreciate him for the amazing human that he is, he needs that reminder every once in a while! So fucking cool!
It makes me so happy to see how the weekend has gotten so popular, I remember back when I heard twenty eight on ITunes as it was the free single of the week, and I was telling everybody about this guy and everybody I told was like I mean it’s alright lol but I always stayed on the lookout for new music from him and to witness it reach this level from that perspective has been fascinating! I hope to meet him as well someday, that’s really awesome Jon.
As a fan of the weeknd from the beginning, seeing you discover him and grow into a fan yourself to now having this opportunity happen for you is so beautiful. Warms my heart !!
So happy for you both! What an unbelievable experience, I'm so glad to hear that he's such a warm and friendly presence! Rarely want to meet my idols but Abel is up there for sure.
With so many unsavoury things happening on social media these days, it’s beautiful to see such an organic, full-circle moment like this. And it happened because of the great guy you are Jon, and the great community you have built. I’m sure Abel reciprocates all the feeling of generosity and appreciation because of that. Well done dude
It was so amazing to see as a fan of both of you. Made me smile almost as big as you did. It was wonderful to meet your wife. She seems like a lovely person and I love the way Britsh people say "Natalie" for some reason
Man these just keep getting better. I’m so happy for you being a fan since the beginning of Rock Reacts. You’ve proven yourself to be a genuine stand up guy who truly loves music and nobody else deserves these kinds of opportunities. Congrats
I was at this fucking concert at the Stade de France and it's the best I've seen in my life. The fact of knowing that you were there and that you realized your dream while I was contemplating with wonder this incredible show makes me too happy and proud. Proud to love an artist like Abel, and proud to follow a man like you Jon!
This is so awesome. Massive congrats and glad your hard work is paying off. The music that really made you dig deep and put yourself out there to make something out of this as a career and now here you are!
This has to be one of the coolest stories I’ve ever been able to see unfold, from two of my absolute favorite people in the world. The feeling I got when seeing that Abel replied to your tweet was pure joy, and now you got to have a personal chat with the man himself. Both of you are unbelievable people and serve as inspirations for a lot of your fans, and I’m so glad we could be on this journey with you and share the love and happiness that you must’ve felt meeting him. So unbelievably happy for you Jon!
Oh my God... Jon, I found your channel mid COVID and thought you were such a positive and chill guy who did reactions to The Weeknd albums. Now this popped up in my feed! You absolutely made it brother!! Hope you are proud of yourself!
omg this is so awsome. knowing that abel is that kind and that attached with fans is just amazing.. he truly deserves all the support and everything best in his life ❤️🩹 so happy for you, you lived everyone's dream 🥹
OMG, this is beyond incredible! It's lovely to hear that he is such a warm kind person, though I'm not surprised by that at all! This is what people say about him who have met him or know him! Crazy cool memorable meeting!
seeing the weeknd live last year was life changing and a dream come true. this is amazing and i am so happy for you. abel will be remembered as a music legend, people don’t realize how remarkable he is and this tour he’s been doing.
You're a legend jon, you inspired me to listen to Abel's music and you'll have inspired way more people to dive into the deep world of hip hop with your experiences too. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person, congrats on all the success 👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah okay teared up watching this, fucking hell Jon I'm so happy for you. I'll never get to meet him but having you do it feels like we've kind of been apart of it, thank you for this channel and thank you becoming part of XO 💗
Watching this happen so organically is amazing. To becoming a fan to meeting Abel himself. So genuinely happy for you Jon and bonus that your wife was there for the ride as well!!
Wait Jon... I ALSO went to see The Weeknd in Paris with my mom on Sunday ! Awesome to know you were there as well :) WHAT A SHOW my lord that was INSANE !
I'm so happy for you Jon. Well deserved for someone who noticeably puts thought, blood, sweat and tears into their craft. To know that of all these views, one of them is the artist themselves. You listen to Abel and he listens to you and your brilliant work as made you fans of each other. We, as your viewers and fans, get to live vicariously through your experience and I for one give you a standing ovation for this. So many videos of you putting on those shades to shield you from the FIRE and then to see Abel doing YOUR famous move. WOW. Proud of you, Jon. Congrats to you, your wife, this channel, and to all your viewers. We are very happy for you.
Dude, this video is so good. I haven't been watching a tonne of your videos recently (sorry!) but the editing, pacing, storytelling and confidence you're talking with have 10Xed since the last one I saw. Absolute craftsman stuff, great to see.
from watching his first ever reaction of the weeknd's album to the weeknd being the most watched videos on this channel to actually meeting abel himself. i'm glad i'm on jon's journey since day 1
I've been watching you since your first reaction video of the weeknd. I can just say thank you for being the most honest, kind and humble reactor out there. It's been quite a journey, also with your success and I'm so happy for you to meet our hero. Onto even bigger things! XOtwod
I'm glad to see Jon Denton seeing him react to Abel's music from the beginning to seeing him now as he has met him in person. That shows that with effort you can achieve what you set out to do. I would definitely like to have this experience
Omg that was awesome I shed a bit of happy tears for you!! I believe I started watching you because of your reactions to Abel and now to see this wow, congratulations Jon XOTWOD 🖤
I'm so happy for you and your wife that you got to experience such a surreal experience. Even my heart was racing just watching this video, I can't even imagine what it was like to meet him and share that kindred connection talking about life.
This is actually wild, watching JD since rock reacts and now look at him
Those early Weeknd videos with Simon hit different

This is so sick. That’s how you solidify fans for life; respect to Abel for this.
Crazy how you went from a metalhead to meeting Abel in France. Love to watch your + your channels growth!

This is an amazing idea!!! ❤❤

The Weeknd got me through depression. I owe this man my life
Sameee and when this new album drop tn it will be something
So happy for you Jon, really has come full circle! Feels like a big day for all of us, XOTWJD

Nobody deserved to meet Abel more than Jon! Congrats my man
I rarely happen to leave a comment, but seeing your journey from rock reacts to this moment is truly inspiring. Nobody deserved it more.
