Didn't Louis harmonise with Niall during his solo in through the dark or am I way off?

No, he did. At least he moved his lips The sound quality of the video I watched wasn't great, so I couldn't tell what notes he was singing...

Yes I would say he did and the whole of Little things is harmonising. In fact I would say a lot of 1D songs are harmonising in 2 or 3 or 5 part. Liam and Niall usually take the high parts.

My mum (ex music teacher) is a bit of pain on harmonising and she thinks the boys can harmonise fine and that is high praise from her

Here are some videos from SNL last night.

Intro- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcLh...e_gdata_player

Skit- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx4y...e_gdata_player

SOML- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaYl...e_gdata_player

Through The Dark- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZWg...e_gdata_player

I really like TTD live, I think all of them sounded great. SOML was another strong performance imo. I'm glad they didn't sing BSE again. The little skit and intro made me laugh.
Very funny. They all look well put together style wise, apart from Harry and that hair. He looks like a scared cat, always knew the hair would be a problem, where do you go with that?

Louis looks really good.

Thank you thankyou!!

I love TTD even though Harry has no solos and he needs to remember it is a slow song so no need to do the rock stance

I am starting to worry about Louis and hope someone is looking out for him. He is looking pretty rough and eyes look quite dead. I hope it isn't what I think it is
Only starting?

I get what you mean though but remember he's got the four boys around him, a large family and his girlfriend who all care about him. I would include management etc but I would say they care about him being there to cash in rather than his wellbeing. Anyway if something was wrong with Louis, depression, drugs, eating disorders, as soon as any of them were aware of it I'm pretty sure they would put his health first and get him the help needed. But this is jumping to VERY extreme circumstances. Chances are he is simply overworked and very tired.

I apologise: they do harmonise in some live performances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDgjA9rZqw8
They harmonise in a lot of live performances. It's just not always 5 part . You must have seen a performance of Little things which is all harmonies apart from Louis solo.

Zayn and Liam (Liam taking high part) Harry and Niall with Niall taking high part

LOOOL
Harry himself complains about his too long hair actually (that's why he wears all those scarfs & headbands), so why doesn't he get a haircut?

I think he is scared to. The other boys have had one thing or the other done with their hair or styling at one point in time. He can't keep his hair like that for long (no pun intended). A new look will be good for him.

Louis needs to gain some weight to me: his cheeks are a bit too hollow. I put it down to tiredness & the many time zone changes. I also find Zayn a bit thin, I hope they'll both get a nice long holliday and eat & rest.

I preferred Harry's hair in these photos on the 2012 side to the big whiff style now.

I agree about the weight thing but personally I think the best way for Louis to smarten himself up would be to shave. Ala...

I actually like the big wiff
But it needs to be shorter on the sides, and less long on top IMO.

But maybe they should go for something different. Not the buzz cut though... but there are quite a few options with curly or big hair, it doesn't have to be a lion mane.

I don't think he looks rough at all. He, Liam and Zayn seem to have adopted a mature look, which I think is good for the group. Louis and Zayn have have had their rough moments, but I think they have grown into their looks. Very handsome young men IMO.

That would be tricky because of the shape of his head. Don't think he can carry off cropped look like the other boys. He might have to grow it longer and have it straightened. His look is not conventional.

Is it possible they will get a double today? Buzzjack are saying Lily is number 2. Surely that means they have the number one single?

While I agree he hasn't a conventional look, he does have good cheek bones and looks perfectly fine when he has his hair tied back or with a head band so he could pull off another style

I think on here it was said that Lilly Allen has sold a lot of physical copies which put her ahead but I have no idea now. Wasn't she number 1 on the Friday chart update too? I really hope they get it though.

Don't get your hopes up too high... Lily Allen was ahead by a few thousand copies (incl. physicals), even though SOML was #1 on itunes almost all week (even when you combined Lily's two versions).

Unless for some reason they suddenly sold thousand of physical copies of SOML on Friday and yesterday, they have no chance of getting #1

Sorry if I offended you, but I honestly wasn't criticising 1D in that thread. The *rolls eyes* was for the poster, who seemed to be under the illusion that to be a group, you have to harmonise, which is completely untrue. Very few UK groups harmonise so I was just saying that 1D have been extremely successful without it, so harmonising isn't essential.

Actually I have nearly all of 1D's singles (apart from OWOA) and I think they make really good pop music, so I definitely wasn't hating on them. My apologies once again if I offended you.


thanks for the explanation... reading back and more carefully, i agree that i may have misread your post as something else...

It's fine.
I don't think the harmonising is very "in your face" in their performances, it just blends nicely with the song.

It's nice to finally know what it is, I wonder why I have relied on a too vague notion until now.

very accurate way of putting it.

Well I did try to buy physicals yesterday but so few shops sell singles now

maybe they're just trying to create tension will-they won't-they make it? to entice listeners to listen to the countdown anyway thinking it's not quite a foregone conclusion... ?
