I have very recently become obsessed with 1D and Liam is easily my favorite.. he's just the most adorable puppy BUT IT'S HIS VOICE THAT KILLS ME.... its like effin silk.. its just so soothing and perfect and UGH... So I just want to thank you for this blog cause you obviously appreciate his talent. I see Harry and ZAYN even louis get all the praise for their voices and I mean its not that that I hate their voices or anything but my Liam is sooo underappreciated.
Damn anon, you’re making me blush.
What can I say, he’s great at what he’s doing and someone needs to make people recognize that. I don’t think most people understand the amount of talent and especially hard work it requires to do what Liam does. Not only is his voice gorgeous with great technique which can’t really be said for all the other boys, most of his time on stage is done doing harmonies. As someone who’s been in in choirs since I was 7-8 years old and a full-time alto since about age 11 (I’m 24 now) I can confirm that not singing melody/lead is really fucking difficult unless you got a good sense of pitch, and even then it can be a bitch to learn and do. I cannot state this enough. The fact he does it effortlessly and without complaining is still baffling. HE’S SUCH A VIRGO YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW Then when he brings any sort of attention to himself, such as a few extra notes here and there because it’s fun and he can, he’s extra and annoying? *insert that gif of Waka Flocka Flame saying ”okay” here*
Then we also have the fact that he’s a baritone in an industry and genre that is OBSESSED with tenors. It’s even gone to the point that he doesn’t acknowledge that part of himself anymore due to mostly using falsetto nowadays. FYI, voices don’t work like that at all.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but as talented as the others are, the only one who really deserves as much credit as Liam is Niall. His progress over the last few years is ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING! He’s done almost as much harmonizing as Liam since the beginning and the general quality of his voice has improved beyond belief. Case in point: No Control. Damn son. I’m not saying that Harry, Louis or Zayn don’t deserve to be appreciated but they rarely do anything other than their own thing, if that makes sense? Mostly the melody or ad libs when you don’t really need to care about what everyone else does.
