In his SNL debut, Frank pulled up a seat alongside John Mayer for a live rendition of “Thinking Bout You”. Afterwards, they returned for “Pyramids”. Nice performances. Channel Orange in stores now.
First? Ok…how many debuts can you have?
Beautiful
Frank O is by far the most talented act in the world today
dope!
I know the comparisons of talent are old by now but The Weeknd is on a whole other level talent wise, Frank’s talented but I can’t get past that whiny tone his voice has, and he has no range what so ever. I listened to the album, and his mixtape, he’s very creative but when it comes to vocal ability he is nothing special, subtract him coming out the closet and alot of the attention he gets would be non existent. I don’t wan’t you Frank Ocean groupies to take this comment to the titty, I admit he is more talented than most of the R&B out now, but I also think he is overrated. People on blogs talk like dude’s the next Stevie or some shit, c’mon now.
Mad talented… amazing what he can do with his voice
@King Chandler Kind of ironic at you calling Frank’s voice whiny when comparing him to The Weeknd. Frank is much more talented in almost every aspect. Frank is a much better singer live (natural talent), on a completely different level when it compares to song writing (frank writes deeply involved stories told through metaphors, while Weeknd sticks to the same subject matter of drugs and alcohol).
I am one of The Weeknds biggest fans and i saw him live at The Norva in Norfolk…. and will admit he is definitely no where near Frank Oceans level of a live performance. The Weeknd brings that energy and rawness but Frank brings his true talent and vocals…..I like both of them Live actually but Frank Wins this race by a longshot.
LOL WHOEVER SAID WEEKND>FRANKY IS ACTUALLY RETARDED
Only dude I fuck with musically in Odd Future.
Yall crazy, seen the weeknd live the atmosphere was crazy, amazing voice l
JOHN MAYER WAS A NICE TOUCH ON “THINKIN BOUT YOU”. DOPEST LIVE PERFORMANCE BY FRANK I’VE EVER SEEN
[…] off his SNL debut, an intoxicated Frankie shoots up the bar before riding off on his bike to the strip club in […]
It’s hard to compare the two, but Frank Ocean came outta no where and made one huge splash in the music industry. And you can’t really do that without huge talent. And that’s what frank ocean is, huge talent. From “made in america” to “no church” dude just killed it. And then by going ye’ on em last night by doing his auto tune similar to runaway just did it for me.
KANYE has a particular eye for talent and that being frank ocean is hard to not acknowledge. The weekend jumped on an album and made a song really hot. But ocean contributed to album which made it iconic. TWO totally different things.
My nigga hit the Lil Mouse “money dance” on SNL…props
lol at yall fags commenting on this homo
@power WOW YOU’RE A DUMBASS. I DONT CARE IF THIS DUDE LIKE GUYS OR BITCHES, HE’S GOT CRAZY TALENT. WHAT HE DOES IN HIS OWN PERSONAL TIME IS HIS BUSINESS. ALL I KNOW IS HE KILLS THIS SHIT. ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES I’VE SEEN ON SNL IN A WHILE.
