@@billyvi6807 allahu akbar in arabic means "god is great". frank considers his own love he worships a "god" in this sense. he says "dont curse me" because love, his god, has only brought him pain. now tell me where this is shaming a religion
@@2thirty2pm why did he chose to say it in the manner Muslims say it wouldn't be much more suitable of he said it in Christian manner as he is from a Christian upbringing and by that would suit whatever story or metaphor he's tryna paint, but reaching fo islam specifically, i love frnak ocean i really do but idk on this one
frank is one of the most sensitive and talented male artists in recent years, the way he transforms his songs into poetry is special and rare, he needs to get back into the music scene urgently!
Believe me or don’t but my friend works on movies and has been at places where jimmy fallon has been and he is genuinely always super excited about everything
I remember having this song on repeat in high school bc I couldn’t relate to anyone & I was suppressing my sexuality in fear of condemnation. 10 years later, & I’ve definitely come a long way. I came out & I’m so much more comfortable & secure with who I am. This masterpiece of a song holds a special place in my heart.
“this unrequited love” frank loves a man, but others hate for the love, the love is unrequited i didn’t think about it like that until this live version
"Perfect live performances don't exist" Well, guess some people still not found this diamond. Frank is one of the most talented musicians over the recent years. Hope he drops some music in the future. Miss him so much.
since the other person didnt explain, this song is about how religion makes people who like the same sex feel icky/wrong. "If it brings me to my knees" is a double entendre, one for prayer, one for oral sex@@beowulf_bateman
Frank is one of my most favorite artists! Plz bring us more of your genius works of art. We been waiting and will continue to do so. If you're not in awe of this musician you don't know about Frank !!!
I genuinely love frank ocean so much his music literally is so beautiful and his voice his just so raw and beautiful and filled with genuine emotion. He truly inspires me so much
Lol you Muslim? I don't think so they done well sell the new Islam and Islamic phobias . I'm sure u never read the Quran im not telling you do it i just don't feel sad anymore about who says i was Muslim but bla bla bla and im sure he never read or know about Islam
It’s so funny how people say “this is disrespecting religion” did your religion ever attempt to validate homosexuality once? No, that’s why he wrote this. Stop acting like your religion actually respects him for what he is
That’s not what this songs abt Bad religion is about unrequited love. Frank loves this person so much to the point where he worships him but the other person doesn't feel the same way. He can't accept that and is desperate to change his feelings towards him. Hence why it's a bad religion. ("It's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you").
I am only gay for one man
lol. same
I don’t believe you lol jk I feel that
Ayye yoo lol
+
lol same for him and giveon and Brent
They can not have realized at the time how rare it’d prove to be to host a live Frank performance. Truly monumental lol
imagine being in the audience watching this? i’m so jealous.
This was like 8 years ago, no one really knew who he was or cared.
@@ejhdbegbeidishdj9358 true
Sooooooool fknnnnn jealous
What the hell is he talking about
@@MayberryMafia its a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you..
2024 and I'm back here. this song is so timeless I swear.
U not alone at all ❤
I would endure an entire Jimmy Fallon live recording if I knew Frank would be playing. That's how much I love this man
😂
It ain't normal how much I love this man without even knowing him in person
no same
It’s not. It’s creepy….seek help
nah bc id die for him w no hesitation
One of my favorite songs ...
That's a bad religion for sure.
man frank sounds the same as his studio recording what a talented man he is!!!
They are still mixing him live. You can hear it but almost just as good as the studio version.
Frank recorded blonde vocals on tape with 0 compression
Damn you pretty. Write me your Inst
Girl he's literally disrespecting our religion (islam) , i don't know why y'all acting like he's doing sum ,it's awful what he's doing rn

Sadly we don't have many live performances of his on RUclips

its a pity so many people misunderstand this song. its not shaming ANY religion. what a beautiful song.
How would explain "he said allahu akbar , i said don't curse me"?

@@snullefaahhr5236He didn't quit, he's on a break after his brother passed in 2021
Man Frank had everybody in their feelings during his run lol
Not a fan of Jimmy fallons fake attitude towards everyone but I genuinely feel like he likes frank a lot…
He goes for that handshake lik "dude wtf was that, i heard you were good, but i didn't though you were that good"
i mean he's a showhost he's obliged to put on a fit because he can't straight up go and be blunt to a guest
@@wellmorza3467 read the first part ffs
Believe me or don’t but my friend works on movies and has been at places where jimmy fallon has been and he is genuinely always super excited about everything
I'm pretty sure jimmy fallon is just like this, and that's great. I see no point in asuming it's fake...? Even if it is, what difference does it make?
2025 and still listening to this guy
wow, that string section sent me into hysterical tears. so fucking beautiful.
Better than the album version imo. Honestly props to the sound person, they killed it.
Thanks for bringing this back on HD.
I have a deep crush on Frank Ocean, and this song is everything.
I have a crush too lol
@@IAmBaldSoWhat I'm a dude, indeed.
wojtyła x frank ocean stan
@@condimentking414 i dont think frank ocean likes men
@@Carlover19538 of course he does.
"Bad Religion" talks about a faiied relationship with another man. It says
"I can't make him love me"
i come back to this video atleast three times a month and i cry everytime
Only three times?
Reminding to come back now

“this unrequited love” frank loves a man, but others hate for the love, the love is unrequited
i didn’t think about it like that until this live version
It can also meant your love for religion but religion doesn’t love you back because you’re gay
The latter in part explains the former - we’ve all been colonized
Thank you so damn much for posting this in HD
omg finally an HD version!
His tone is perfection, his vibrato, art; the emotion is spine tingling and the lyrics read like a poem. Others artists pale before this man
his voice is so beautiful i can’t even describe it
This is the greatest song this stupid planet has ever had.
Agreed, one of the best
lmao this comment made me laugh so much
This is the stupidest song this great planet had ever to suffer.
What a cringe comment lmaoo
Jimmy Fallon is the only person in the world to have a channel orange vinyl😔
I have one I didn’t know it was rare till recently and it was like the same price as any other vinyl so it’s pretty cool
Holy fuck what a vinyl to have
@@gracerobinson1109 you have a fake one, there was never any official release
those are usually just printed album covers that he displays before performances not vinyls
never have i ever had goosebumps for 5 mins straight
A Frank ocean tiny desk concert would bring world peace fr
"Perfect live performances don't exist"
Well, guess some people still not found this diamond. Frank is one of the most talented musicians over the recent years. Hope he drops some music in the future. Miss him so much.
lmao he’s not dropping
@@ratis9389and he will not
He mocked a religion how come cancel culture never do it's thing

This is my favorite thing in the whole entire world its so beautiful
2:51 with the strings and how the drums come in, literal perfection
Imagine thinking you’re going to Jimmy fallon and instead witnessed one of the greatest solo performances of all time 💫
I remember watching this when it aired as a kid. Had never even heard of him at the time, and 12 years later he’s one of my favorite artists
Talent, sensibility and honesty.
2:51 gets me everyyyy time
His voice w the strings 😩😭😭 y am I cryin
this guy sounds just like he does on the record
Nah, he sounds better
We need a tour from this man, with a full band and orchestra
his voice makes me feel some type of way
I loved that he watched the violinists have a solo, love Frank Ocean
I cannot listen to a single song of his without crying
even lost?
10 years ago today, Frank Ocean gave us this iconic debut album🍊 with the mesmerizing song Bad Religion
????
2:41 IF IT BRINGS ME TO MY KNEEEEEEESSSSSSSS ITS A BAD RELIGION AHHHOWWWHAWWW
it’s crazy how some random unsuspecting people went to see jimmy fallon and ended up seeing a historic performance
I’m jealous of any that just randomly caught this live
i LOVE this version! i need this on spotify and new frank music !!
still one of his best peformances ever imo
watching this performance for the first time when I was 15 rearranged my molecules fr
Just listen to how perfect his voice is whaaaat
Now this is the original pitch
Great now I'm crying uncontrollably 1 minute before I'm supposed to take calls at my work from home job. Thanks algorithm.

i love this man more than anything in this world.
as an old muslim who lost faith in my religion as i grew older, this song is beyond emotional for me.
Same, i slowly started to not belive in any religion 🤞

I always end up right back here. Sad or joyous or indifferent. I LOVE THIS SONG AND PERFORMANCE 🧡🧡🧡
I would sell my soul to see him live
How much u eant i got u
Iv never understood when people talk so passionately about music or a certain but now I get it. All most has a healing property
this is the most spectacular performance of all time omg

i will always return to this video
Frank's got me for life!
I can tell frank wanted the ensemble to speed up a bit to the normal tempo, but towards the end he accepts the tempo and sings into it! Amazing
It just feels so surreal to hear him getting announced with a new album. Its a bit like "has this really ever happened"?
so jimmy just has a channel orange non boot legged copy in his possession?
It's just a piece of cardboard
What I would give to have the little string outro on the studio version
The goosebumps this gave me will stay forever
Brilliant songwriting!
Massive shivers all over my body from the very first moment he sang. Absolutely outstanding artist. 👏
This is one of the best performances ever
Hell no, still a great one tho
This changed my life seriously
Lmao who tf told y’all to clap along? Please let this man COOK.
He got to this performance level and then just gave it all up. Absolutely wild to me
Finally on RUclips!! Y'all better save this cause this boutta be taken down LMAO
oh this song is so so so so so heartbreaking can never listen to it without tearing up
Everyone there had no idea they were watching a LEGEND
So beautiful!!
3:14 my favorite part omg
my favorite artist
i love this man so much.
I cant believe I got to see this in person 🙌🏾 Frank, you are one of a kind ⭐️
This song is just beautiful! 😢
Frank ocean this Frank ocean that I’m dying I love him
What a beautiful song ❤
Im so jealous of the people who had to witness this LIVE
