Do One Direction's Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson Pale in Comparison to Band Mates?
Do One Direction's Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson pale in comparison to band mates Harry Styles, Liam Payne, and Niall Horan while the boys are performing on stage? A recent review of a One Direction concert said exactly that.

According to a report from Sugarscape, Rolling Stone magazine reviewed One Direction's recent New Jersey show and felt that two of its members weren't "setting the place on fire" the way the others were.

The review made it abundantly clear that Harry Styles is One Direction's frontman. It referred to Niall Horan and Liam Payne as "charismatic." When referring to Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, however, they definitely paled in comparison.

"Often singled out as the heart throb, Styles embraced that status with flirtatious looks and gestures throughout, while both Malik and Tomlinsonseemed to fade into the background more often than not," the review reads.

"Payne and Horan were easily the most charismatic of the group, with the former taking to the edges of the stage and the tops of the speakers to engage the crowd, while the latter spiced up the band's walk-and-hit-your-mark choreography with his own goofy movements," it continues.
