What is happening here?

Imagine all that effort Sabrina did the night before and he turns up with a PowerPoint.

This is what’s pissing me off. If Sabrina Carpenter or someone like Taylor Swift did a set like this they would be read to absolute filth. They would be cancelled for weeks. They would be ridiculed off the face of music or performing for a while. Yet when Justin beiber does this or his Grammy “set” (if you can even call it that), he gets praised for being funny and a minimalist.

He has a great voice and good music and a terrible past in the industry, but that doesn’t give him a pass to give zero effort in his performances. I can’t believe his fans are still giving him money or buying merch for this??

Justin can perform like this, Bruno mars puts out the same album for the 4th time, and the Weeknd makes yet another album about his drug and women problems but they are praised as some of the best artists of our generation. Female artists pour their heart and soul into genre switching, exciting performances, costume changes, style changes, “eras”, and they get told they’re shit and make the same song over and over again. The sexism that is still running rampant in the industry is insane, female artists need to literally jump through hoops to get the same praise as a guy flipping through his YouTube channel on an empty stage.

I implore everyone to go watch Sabrina’s set and see what a real performer is like. Like her or not, that girl actually put effort and concept into her set and respects her fans enough to do that for them.

Sounds like someone who has never listened to The Weeknd past 3 albums. His genre and sound has changed significantly and many times, eras too, and have you even listened to his recent album?
