Yeah, they certainly need some more rest! I think having the 2 month break will do them all the world of good.
I didn't mind his earring. Love the headscarf though.
I understand what you mean, it was probably one of their worst live performances for a while but it was by no means awful.
That whole thing about Liam's joke is just stupid. It's quite obvious it was meant to he humorous.

Nope just googled, right is gay ear altho nowadays doesn't matter
Ah ok thanks for the confirmation! Not gonna lie it would have been hilarious if Harry had his right ear done oblivious to the whole 'gay ear' thing.

I know it used to be a big thing, but it's obviously not the case anymore.
But that would certainly have become the ultimate proof!
The fans are irritating me on twitter:
they are still giving a hard time to Harry & the non-kardashian girl (but she is still kind of Kardashian to me though)
and gushing about Niall & his model GF...
Double standart at its peak!
Really: all Harry needs to do according to them is to date a non-pretty fan while all the others do whatever they want I suppose~

I wouldn't say they are all gushing over Niall and Barbara to be fair some of them seem pretty angry and I think the ones that are gushing are happy he has an official{seen in public} girlfriend

Maybe you are right... I am not following that many people, so my TL could not be fully representative of the fan's feelings

I get what you mean. I've posted before about this but I definitely think Niall has the easiest ride with all this stuff. I've also seen lots of positive tweets about being happy for him and Barbara whereas I certainly could not say the same about Harry and Kendall. Although if I'm being completely honest I probably feel the same way. To me 'hendall' just screams PR.

Noticed it on Zayn as well, not on Liam though. Could still have had some
Good performance but I definitely feel Happily or Strong would be the best bet for a 3rd single. Just don't think Midnight Memories would get the radio airplay they need. Right Now would be a certainty for American radio airplay too but I prefer Happily and Strong.

Through the Dark got a great reception on SNL, so that song could be a good 3rd single too.
But Happily is just such a perfect mix of catchy & folky.
I am less sure about Strong, I like it but it's not catchy enough "at first play".
I really like Diana, Little white Lies & Better than words, and I think Little white Lies or Diana could be a awsome singles from their "pop" songs.
EDIT
I hope that those performances of Midnight Memories were just testing the water & that the general reactions to the song will make them change their minds if that's the 3rd single they had chosen.

2 good things coming from this
--> They're definitely not miming...
--> They actually harmonise
Even people in the main X Factor forum mostly discuss the joke Liam made (we're sick of each other), taking it for the truth?! You wish...
And they complain about them being over-exposed on the show. That's equally ridiculous, as they come from the show, have an album and a DVD out, draw in high ratings etc. Would be stupid to not have them on in the final! By the way, Katy Perry is going to be on for the second time as well... So was Rihanna in recent years.”

The funny thing is, as soon as he said that, I thought I bet the silly girls will get into a tizzy on that on Twitter or online not realising he was joking. And they did LOL!

It's still not my fave', but I have gotten used by now to the parts I didn't really like at first... And most fans love that song, so why not as a 3rd single?

I think Niall and Mcfly did such a great job of the melodies on that song. Like you I like Happily as well. I love the whole album really.

I don't think so. The other day they said in the twitcam that the video had been booked and Ben Winston was directing again so obviously the third single has already been decided
I too hope it isn't MM but I will deal with it if it is
Metro review not good
http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/15/one-di...final-4231842/
I am sure as they all live in London one of them will pick this up

We won't have much of a choice I suppose
But I would wonder why, out of their entire album, they had to choose the 2 songs in which an outside influence is a bit noticable, especially when the rest of the album is pretty good and they have a lot of other single-worthy songs available.
They seem to have also gained some good will from the US radios, but we all seem to think that it would be wasted if MM was chosen.
