By sidelining music and centre-staging twerking security guards Frank asks a bold question about what counts as âperformanceâ. At a time where queer identity is under attack the crooner centres self-expression and celebrates joy as an act of resistance. And at a juncture where AI asks us to wonder what counts as creation, the brazen use of backing tracks and lip syncing brings to focus how technology can devalue the aura of an objet dâart as argued by Walter Benjamin in his seminal âThe Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproductionâ, updated for the age of automation of our current zeitgeist. 10/10â
proof you can just write s*** and act like it made sense
now that this development has taken place will we still be pretending Biking was a good song
Ya cause hov is on it
The cinematography was immaculate.

U work at pitchfork?

Oh I don't care about any of it lol I've come to terms with frank not releasing anything and being a lazy c*** years ago
jai paul sitting in front of a rock glad to just be there
JAI PAUL's first performance EVER at the biggest musical stage short of the superbowl crushed it and i watched a vet go out sad
WTF
jai paul killed it even more in hindsight tbh
he couldn't of had a better set
i mean the 2017 festival tour was also really messy for the most part except for FYF. this really shouldn't be unexpected
Last nightâs set made his 2017 tour look like Lady Gagaâs Chromatic Ball in terms of production and execution.
Imagine signing up to headline a festival and being too mysterious to even do the bare minimum for the contract you signed. VERY SAD.

Crushed it ?? all that pressure???
Delivered
Fraud Ocean strikes again? Iâd like to say Iâm shocked and disappointed, but unfortunately this is par for the course. Imagine being such a mysterious c*** that you screw thousands of fans that flew in from all around the world over just because you are âhyper creativeâ and everything has to be âperfect.â Very sad.
The Weeknd would NEVER!
he's truly cursed by his perfectionism
im just totally boggled as to why frank rehearsed performing nights this week and then just let the mp3 play out last night

Bro wanted a juice break and he picked the worst time to do it.
