    MIGUEL: Kaleidoscope Dream
    Weeknd can't sing. Dude whines and curses all through his songs and it really downplays his music. Miguel surprised the hell outta me with Kaleidsocope Dream. The incredible sound and vibe he created here is one thing, his vocal skills and lyrical talent are best suited to complete the psychadelic sound of the record. Kaleidoscope Dream is modern-day classic.

    The Weeknd makes great songs, but I don't get when people say he has a great range, especially when compared to Miguel. How does he have a great range when you've only heard him in one?

    The Weeknd's content is a bit dark for my tastes.

    I love me some Miguel...love his sound.

    He wins.

    Weeknd's content is great...take "Wicked Games"...ain't too many songs like that, especially from a male perspective....most are just superficial "We in the club, back to the crib, look at ice, i'll buy you a car" type Trey Songz/ The Dream ? ...

    Okay I said for my tastes...and Wicked Games is extremely dark!

    I prefer to listen to things that take my mind to a positive place, that ? had me feeling depressed and ? ..lol.

    THE WEEKND: Trilogy
    I don't even consider the trilogy a "new album" but I still voted for it. The weeknd dropped so much fire the last couple years and the vibe he creates is crazy. Miguel's album has the same problem a lot of r&b albums have now, it's very hit or miss. The good songs are really good and the bad ones you have to skip...

    Lol I never said it wasn't dark, it's just different from the normal male themed r&b songs you get. Yeah it's dark, but it's honest as hell and coming from a place alot of guys try to ignore or pretend doesn't exist. It really is a song that can let some females into how some dudes minds operate when dealing with women

    I know he's only half mexican, ? was just funny that you mentioned The Weeknd cussing like Miguel doesn't do it to. I mean "? Is Mine"...ain't even a way to make a clean version of that lol

    It's one song. It's not like throws "? " and "? " in every ? verse, which is the case with Weeknd soft ass.

    I prefer Miguel.

    Although The Weeknd has good songs, his voice is barely tolerable and some his lyrics are kind of wack,

    THE WEEKND: Trilogy
    Miguel is dope, but u cant compare his album to 3 ? mixtapes from the weeknd, which has some of the best rnb songs to be released in a longgggggggggg ? time.

    Miguel´s album was cool, the first 3 songs are 10 out of 10, then the next 3 were mediocre imo.Then the ones after were above avg. But The Weeknd has TOOOOOOOO many classic songs on the Trilogy for this to even be a fair comparison.

    @YoungGoldie What were your top picks off Trilogy?

    THE WEEKND: Trilogy
    IMO, ¨House of Ballons¨ vs ¨Kaleidoscope¨ would have been more of a fair comparison.. Cuz it would have been one body of work compared to another. So whoever says Miguels project trumps 3 Weeknd projects ,hasnt heard all 3 weeknd projects or is just hating imo...


    These songs alone ? on Miguels album

    I been playin Miguels album for like a month straight. The Weeknd is alrite, he has some really great songs, but at the same time I think he's just a lil overrated.

    Initiation is actually one of my favorite Weeknd songs. Storytelling on that is amazing. Feels like I'm right in the room with them ? before they run a train and ?
