MTV Review: The Weeknd Gives Us Fifty Shades Of Feels At Apple Music Festival
"I didn’t come to London for a seated show, let’s do this properly..."
Charley ReadAnd she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know
She told me, "Don't worry about it"
She told me, "Don't worry no more"
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
This I know, girl, I know
She told me, "Don't worry about it"
She told me, "Don't worry no more"
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
She told me, "Don't worry about it"
She told me, "Don't worry no more"
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be in love, oh, oh, woo
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
After listening to the No.1 smash, Beauty Behind The Madness on repeat, it was time to hear it in 'Real Life', as Abel Tesfaye, otherwise known as The Weeknd, took to London's Roundhouse last night (23rd September) for the Apple Music Festival.
The minute Abel took to the stage, we knew we were in for a good night, opening with 'Prisoner' (minus Lana Del Rey).
The show was heavily featured around his new album but also included a few surprises such as the PHENOMENAL cover of Beyoncé’s ‘Drunk In Love’ (excuse us why we have a moment), and Ariana Grande’s ‘Love Me Harder’, both performed with such passion and energy, sending the already electric crowd into a frenzy.
He then went on to perform Drake’s ‘Crew Love', Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘Or Nah’ and more before bringing the set to a close with the Fifty Shades Of Grey smash ‘Earned it’, ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ and finally our personal fave ‘The Hills’.
But no that wasn’t all, Abel returned for an epic encore performance of ‘High For This’ and ‘Wicked Games’ leaving us wishing life could always be like this.
Fave moment:
Did we mention the Beyoncé cover already? WE. CAN’T. EVEN!
Special shout out:
To the guy on the balcony in the white shirt – we don’t think The Roundhouse has ever seen such flawless moves whilst juggling a few pints.
Celeb spot:
Conor Maynard throwing some serious shapes to ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ – we love you Conor!
