“Tomlinson has proven to be easily the most versatile of the group – hear me out. Zayn Malik is often touted as “the most talented” and that’s fair, with his clear high notes and effortlessly sexy croon often interjecting just at the height of the songs to remind you of One Direction’s golden egg, but Tomlinson is what defines the songs on FOUR. If you want rock ‘n’ roll, lean on Louis for echoing harmonies that’ll have you screaming at the top of your lungs too. If you want sweet, it’s Louis using his ability to create a soft dynamic to carry the song from one build to another, such is the way in “Clouds.” And if you want it to go back to being a little bit rock, a little bit pop, it’s back to Louis, whose voice is a little higher than the rest of the boys and can hit that almost hiccup effect, with the gentle whine in the back of his throat proving he can make simple, but effective, changes that have the ability to define the entire feel of the song. Louis’ voice is different – not the gruff and low baritones his bandmates share, but a tenor that takes a moment of getting used to before realizing, “hey, this is good. That guy makes this song. Wait, holy shit, what would this song even be without him?” He’s relaxed and cooler than you on “Stockholm Syndrome,” an absolute smash that in my uneducated opinion would be a game-changing single. Most importantly, though, he absolutely murders “No Control” – while the other boys sound incredible, there’s something about Louis’ vocal abilities on this one that lets him go absolutely crazy with the chorus and backgrounds, with so much force behind his voice you literally think he’s going to come out of your earphones and sing it with just as much passion right in front of you to make you forget every snub he’s ever received on any track. “No Control“ is Louis’ personal revenge, a hit back to anyone that ever said he didn’t belong.”

Louis really saw two fans with a pride flag and wrote “Be Proud” out for them. I quite literally can’t even fathom how significant of a change that is for him to openly and readily be able to interact and make small comments of that sort. and now i’m just spiraling thinking of all the interactions and exchanges with fans he’s going to have night after night on tour and how we’re going to be able to see the ripple effect and growth take place over time when it comes to the small but steady support and alignment with the LGBTQ+ community.

May 14th: photo and video freshly came to light from February 2nd of a girl asking Louis to write “Lesbian Rights” on her record at the Glasgow signing. he was happy and playful the entire time he was writing it down for her.

I bet you a hundred thousand dollars that Louis likes to bring the note up at the WORST possible times like Harry'll literally be inside him and he'll be like 'do you think of her when you fuck me? You know it's your celestial destiny to be together,' or Harry'll tell him he loves him before he runs out for groceries or something and Louis'll be like 'what about Camila?'
