This guy changes the entire way he looks everytime he releases an album.

Abel: Never need a stage I'm what a stage need.

[romyy]

Abel isn’t Artist Of The Year

He’s the Artist Of The Decade.

THE CAMERA CREW DESERVES A RAISE WTF THIS GOES HARD

[beautifully_chaotic_art]

Now this is what a performer looks like. So damn creative.

[utkarshgaikwad]

The fact that THIS is a single shot amazes me.

[vishnupriyasibiraj]

I've never heard someone say "New York city" with such grace.

[NoName]

He didn't even let the audience see him perform in person, now that's heartless. 😂

[ness_mini]

This is literally the best music performance I've seen on Colbert.

[reggieg]

He's so cool he made this look like an official video

[sheentell]

One detail that I love is the misdirection with the lighting at first. The cyan light makes the red of his suit look black, so it looks like a normal suit that most guests would wear, then he steps out with the red and it grabs your attention. It's just the little things that make this performance so cool

[Aqwtiny]

This is the most outgoing I’ve seen him and the most I’ve seen him smile and idk how I feel about it

[prodsana]

He’s never done anything like this before, and I really like this.

[NJASZN]

Damn, Abel is really switching it up and coming out of his shell. It’s like he’s an entirely different person.

[Fer_Aquino_]

I can't stop thinking about how his Superbowl performance will be every time I watch this

[aniahenderson]

* me watching in awe trying to understand how he remembered all those steps *

i would get so lost, loved this

[geneweaveskdot]

When you try to find the stage, but you a star so everywhere is the stage.

[kinkelebranana]

THIS IS INSANE!! HOLY FUCKKK IMAGINE WHAT HIS TOUR SHOWS ARE GONNA BE LIKE !! MY MANS WENT OFFFF !!

[morbiusprime]

I love how he's basically created a whole character and story-line for this album and performs everything in character
