Some of the YouTube comments say you have to touch the screen.

I tried to move the phone in different directions, then stood up and walked around. Am I doing it right?

Edit:
It says in supposed to watch it on the YouTube app which I deleted from my phone. I'll do that and try again.
Yeah, at first I too was using the browser on my phone & was damn near doing the stanky leg on top of my couch & was seeing nothing

[h1]THE WEEKND GETS CANDID ABOUT DRAKE, BELLA HADID, & HIS HAIR IN ROLLING STONE[/h1]
R&B’s mystery man The Weeknd steps out of the shadows and onto the cover of Rolling Stone. In the last year, “The Hills” singer, born Abel Tesfaye, has gone from relative obscurity to topping the charts twice and hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio and Naomi Campbell, who he now calls a “good friend of mine.”

The self-described “mama’s boy,” who’s only done a handful of interviews, opens up to the magazine about his rise from a mixtape artist to a global superstar.

“Never in a million years,” he says of his success. “I’m still digesting it, to be honest with you. But the screams keep getting louder, dude.”

In the interview, he also gets candid about his lonely childhood, love life (he is dating 18-year-old model Bella Hadid), and his newfound fame.

It was Drake’s manager, Oliver El-Khatib, who first posted his music on the OVO blog. “Apparently, Drake wasn’t even ******* with it at first,” says The Weeknd. “Oliver was the one vouching for me.”

At one point, he admits that Drake was “my closest friend in the industry,” and still credits him for putting him on.

Plus, read what he had to say about losing his virginity at 16, Taylor Swift, and his most recognizable trait—his hair.

ON REMAINING RECLUSIVE:  “We live in an era when everything is so excessive, I think it’s refreshing for everybody to be like, ‘Who the **** is this guy?’ I think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.”

ON HIS EVOLUTION:  “I was everything an R&B singer wasn’t. I wasn’t in shape. I wasn’t a pretty boy. I was awkward as ****. I didn’t like the way I looked in pictures—when I saw myself on a digital camera, I was like, ‘Eesh.'”

ON WHY HE REFRAINS FROM INTERVIEWS:  “Me not finishing school—in my head, I still have this insecurity when I’m talking to someone educated. I don’t want them looking at me like this ******* ******—no disrespect.”

ON HIS IMPACT:  “I’m not gonna say any names, but just listen to the radio. Every song isHouse of Balloons 2.0.”

ON DRAKE:  “I gave up almost half of my album. It’s hard. I will always be thankful—if it wasn’t for the light he shined on me, who knows where I’d be. And everything happens for a reason. You never know what I would say if this success wasn’t in front of me now.”

ON HIS TRADEMARK HAIR:  “I want to be remembered as iconic and different. So I was like, ‘**** it—I’m gonna let my hair just be what it wants.’ I’ll probably cut it if it starts interfering with my sight. I can kind of see it right now. But if I cut it, I’d look like everyone else. And that’s just so boring to me.”

ON TAYLOR SWIFT:  “She actually schooled me on my own ****. She was like, ‘I’ve been listening to ‘The Morning’ [from House of Balloons] for years—it’s one of my favorite songs ever!’ I mean, she might have just Googled it. But she seemed genuine.”

ON HIS ABSENT FATHER:  “I’m sure he’s a great guy. I never judged him. He wasn’t abusive, he wasn’t an alcoholic, he wasn’t an *******. He just wasn’t there.”

ON GIRLFRIEND BELLA HADID:  “I actually asked her to be on the artwork for Beauty Behind the Madness. My motive was literally to work with her.”

ON LOSING HIS VIRGINITY AT 16:  “I was drunk too. It was the worst experience of my life. Losing your virginity to an older woman sounds good, but it was kinda like, ‘Oh ****, it’s done?'”

ON THE FUTURE:  “People tell me I’m changing the culture. I already can’t turn on the radio. I think I’m gonna drop one more album, one more powerful body of work, then take a little break—go to Tokyo or Ethiopia or some ****.”
 
ON HIS IMPACT: “I’m not gonna say any names, but just listen to the radio. Every song is House of Balloons 2.0.”

ON DRAKE: “I gave up almost half of my album. It’s hard. I will always be thankful—if it wasn’t for the light he shined on me, who knows where I’d be. And everything happens for a reason. You never know what I would say if this success wasn’t in front of me now.”

Dude is feelin himself with the "every song on the radio is HOB 2.0"

Almost half his album to Drake eh? Not that it was a secret but now that it's been spoken it's crazy to think about

Taylor Swift knows. I need to see her vibing out to the old stuff

So when he says "one more powerful body of work" is he referring to a Kiss Land or BBTM type project? Hopefully if he goes to Tokyo or Ethiopia or wherever he gets on some real unfiltered type lane. I don't want refined or mainstream producers 
 
There are other fish is the sea fambs. You'll get over it. It's Abel's loss. Be strong during these hard times. We've all been through a bad break-up. Don't reminisce on the good times or take petty pot shots. Enough of the sorrowfulness and bitterness. Find yoself a new mans...

"Tesfaye is soundchecking the same two songs he always does: "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills." SNL  wanted him to do "In the Night" instead, but it's a tough song to sing live, and he didn't feel ready."

:lol: I had to laugh at this analogy

The article would suggest another heavy pop influenced album imo.
