For some performers, acclaim is only a matter of when, and not if.
The above could be used to explain Miguel’s rise to fame this year, hailed as the poster child for Contemporary R&B following a long and tiresome journey to the top.
Releasing his second studio album ‘Kaleidosope Dream’ on September 25th of this year, last night saw him take to ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ to perform one of its standout cuts ‘Do You’, days after the LP hit combined US sales of 170,000 units.

…. And elsewhere Frank Ocean is fading into obscurity and will only be remembered for busting out the closet on the eve of his album release and his twitter/tumblr and website postings about whither a guy is his boyfriend or not.
Frank was hailed as the next best thing that even Beyonce was proud to be seen with him and posting twitter pics, then when Frank didn’t lite up as she thought the singing parasite ran to Miguel to record and stated posting twitter pics
Go Miguel! Keep doing you awesome thang! Just don’t let it involve devil worshipping.

Re- read my post, thats what it says Frank didn’t lite up, he worked on 4, Miguel is getting critical acclaim and he’s working on the new album.

Shes working with talented people, wouldn’t you in that industry? She collaborated with Frank BEFORE people barely even knew who he was, get it right. Really, why bring Beyonce into it anyway? SMH.

@JoJo – Frank was known as a songwriter by another name and was established before changing to Frank Ocean and working with Beyonce, and actually she worked with him AFTER Ultra/Nostalgia mixtape came out to which he got acclaim.
I would work with talented people but i wouldn’t pretend i wrote songs when i worked with the less known/established and pretend they were mine.
Why defensively respond and then ask why bring Beyonce into it, why not just ask that? In answer to your question because i can

Fuck I can´t watch the video. I´m sure it was great. I love his album
And can people please stop hating for no reason? Can´t you like Miguel while leaving Frank Ocean out of this post? Frank Ocean also had a great album and you will deal

Miguel needs to give Anna Wintour her glasses back in that first picture.

if they were Anna’s shades…. you would be gagging; so how about you hop up off Miguel’s ball-sack. truth be told, you wish you were rocking them; and wait a damn minute, can we talk about those shades YOU’RE wearing…. on second thought, let’s not. #theshadeofitall

I own BOTH Frank’s and Miguel’s albums They are both great and I love them for very different reasons. Why the very unnecessary hostility thrown at Frank in order to praise Miguel? Silly.
Anyway, great performance.

I love him now! Use to not like him because of some interview I saw of him, I thought he was a bitch! Lol but not he seems happy, that could have to do with the fact that his dreams are now coming ture and more people are listening to his music. I’m happy for him keep up the good job I love when he’s free sexy!
