The Weeknd for the first time ever went into dance rehearsals for his SB

[Teletubby 146,533]

♦ Jesse Collins, executive producer of this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show, told ET that The Weeknd simply wanted to "start a spectacle" with his epic entrance.
"Abel wanted to start with high production value. He came up with this idea of that open," Collins said. "It was something that had never been done before and he worked it out with Pepsi."

"It was just this really cool concept of him getting out of the car and then bringing it into the stadium by putting him in the Jumbotron," he continued, adding that their "next step" was to reveal the choir and the city. "That was just a beautiful skyline of a city. You'd have to ask The Weeknd if there was some subliminal message [there] because he didn't convey that to me."

 "And for him, [Abel] had a very clear vision of what this performance needed to be. So he was just willing to spend whatever it took to get every bell and every whistle that was necessary to execute his vision."

♦ Givenchy jacket The Weeknd wore weighed approximately 40 pounds and was made with real rubies. 

♦ Dancers bandages had KN95 masks built.
 

♦ "That was the first time The Weeknd's ever used dancers in a show, and the first time he's ever gone into dance rehearsals. Like, he's never done anything around choreography,"  
"For him, having dancers and going to dance rehearsals and all that stuff, this was all new. It was nothing that he had ever done before, and kind of shied away from it," Jesse said. "For a guy who's never done that before, to do that on one of the biggest stages in the world and have fun with it and not feel forced, it's a pretty amazing thing."
Charm La'Donna was the choreographer for his performance.

He rehearses, but this is the first time he had dance rehearsals. Don’t get it twisted. There are women too who don’t do choreo or haven’t always done it 

You all can get so uptight over the smallest comments. The Weeknd and the Super Bowl producers never claimed this to be groundbreaking. That was a thought you came up with.

Sorry but did I miss something? 
I liked his show but he had not a special choreography and he barely overspend himself.

So he just went into the rehearsal but didn’t actually learn the choreography  with his dancers, so do they mean like he just watched them rehearse? And that’s praise worthy these days ?

I'm still trying to figure out where that $7 million went 

[xoxo Craig 55,649]

Am I supposed to be impressed? 

[DirrtyPony 1,330]

I get the feeling him and his team believe this was a bigger spectacle than it was...

This is what most female entertainers have to do for every performance, regardless of the crowd size.

I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry...I completely missed the choreo  

Did he really dance? Like at all?

No shade Im just like...I really don’t remember him giving us a lick of choreo

The way so many male artists do way less than a lot of female artists yet still are hold to a higher esteem
