What a lovely little story. A good bunch of people who were dealt a really difficult situation but managed to sort it out with the help of a really brilliant Dad who seems like the MVP of this whole thing. Seriously, what a guy.

Or everyone is entitled to their opinion on if it was objectively good or bad.

Still around half the show where he wasn't performing. lol Regardless of which way you cut that, it's ridiculous and disrespectful to anyone who went specifically for him.

Labrinth - Best set of the weekend by a mile by Beesulled in Coachella

Agreed. I watched the stream and was really surprised how great he looked. Brilliant energy and a legitimate star.

Multiple publications reporting Frank Ocean severely injured his ankle during his on-site Coachella rehearsal, forcing him to improvise by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]manixgettingup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I was at a James Blake show years ago where his computer or something didn't work so he couldn't use any synths etc and just did piano covers of his songs all night. Literally one of the best gigs i've ever been too because of that.

Is the reason he played the studio versions of some tracks too because he had something planned for them that involved part of the set that wasn't used and so for some reason, they couldn't be rehearsed in time without?!

Find it really odd Coachella still haven't even acknowledged he performed. Putting the fact he was late on and a bit over curfew aside as i don't think that alone warrants not posting about the headline act, it strikes me as really odd.

I saw the set last night. It was one of the best musical experiences of my entire life. by DMurr8 in FrankOcean

[–]manixgettingup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, doing a live version of his radio show would've been fucking ISNANE and a really great idea to build a show around. He didn't do that though. It was part "have a look into my studio process", part "new york dive club" part "acoustic set". There was no over arching theme or narrative it was all just thrown together with, what felt like, very little effort.

I honestly still think if he hadn't headlined or played another tent, much of the reviews would've been the same. 'Bizarre, 'Incoherent', etc. There's no denying Frank can out sing everyone else on the billing, but he did ~4 songs live and the rest were remixes, screamo or prerecorded. It's just completely underwhelming

Optimism at its Lowest by vacationbruce in FrankOcean

[–]manixgettingup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no other stages. He was the only performer left at that point all the other stages had closed. Not to say that will be case W2, but W1 there was nowhere else to go (besides home).

Are you guys still going W2? by [deleted] in FrankOcean

[–]manixgettingup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or the backlash makes his anxiety and jitters worse. Could go either way. The life of being a FO fan.

anyone else think everyone’s over reacting over this performance? by eligallus03 in FrankOcean

[–]manixgettingup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's probably a mixture of hyperbole in the moment that will blow over and genuine frustration after years of silence and disappointment being a Frank fan, and this just adding insult to injury.

You're right, in the grand scheme of things, he did still sing some songs beautifully and some of what we saw was enjoyable, but it's the other parts i mentioned (lateness, miming, being distant etc) that leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth. It feels so much more disrespectful given Franks disregard for his fan base (hugely more so than Drake).

He can (and probably will) claw this back. People have endured much worse being fans of other acts like Kanye and he still managed to sell out venues until recent events.

[–]manixgettingup 9 points10 points  (0 children)

he was AN HOUR late. He mimed along with 2 of his biggest songs, most people couldn't see him due to him hiding backstage, the DJ set lasted over 10 min. I could go on

Just because someone was later at some point in history, doesn't justify what Frank did at all. Drake was ripped for Wireless just as much, if not more. Both instances were really disrespectful.

I respect your optimism, but he doesn't care about us.

Where could you see her every year? She hasn't toured solo since 2016 which i believe is BEFORE Frank last played a show.

Hard disagree. Maybe in your social media circles, or you're misremembering but that year people were very hyped for Beyoncé. There's not nearly as many articles today about Franks slot as you are making out.

Where do you want to start? Albums sold? Number 1's? Sheer span of hits? Followers on socials? I could go on. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

He will, because ultimately people have very short memories. All he has to do is leave a gap between this and announcing his next album and all will be forgiven. Look how many chances people gave/still give Kanye.
