You clearly have no idea how popular bts concerts are, tickets sell in literally a flash and it’s incredibly hard for fans to get tickets meaning many people will never be able to see them live. Not to mention scalpers re-selling them for too-high prices. I don’t see the problem in people wanting the opportunity to…

If you had the brain cells to do it, you could probably just google ‘Zayn Malik smiling’ and see 100s of photos of just that. That might be beyond your reach though.

Is that something your mother said to you as a child?

Nah, wrong again. Listen to Zayn’s song on the Get Down soundtrack. He can reach into his upper register like no other.

Nah, by the website Critic of Music who compiles vocal profiles and rankings for singers, you insufferable little twerp.

Learn something about music production before you make such basic comparisons tbqh.

Full* not fall. LOL.

If you expected groundbreaking art, that fault lies solely with you. Zayn NEVER said once that he was looking to revolutionise music or the r&b genre or whatever. All he said was he wanted to make an album personal to HIM, which he succeeded in doing. And if you write Zayn’s music off as ‘top 40, edm-y r&b a la Weeknd…

^^^ this. if you think a criticism of pop music as generic and not to your taste is the same as saying ‘i hate teenage girls who listen to pop music’ you clearly lack brain cells.

LOL wow, you really think Taylor Swift, the Maggie Thatcher of pop music, is a shining example of how to be good to fans? Not only is the comparison piss poor because Tswift is fake and annoying, it’s also piss poor because Zayn was trying to break into r&b not whatever camp fire songs T swift passes as music. Zayn…

Wow what a unique insight man. Never mind that Zayn has never once badmouthed teenage girls or ‘fangirls’ other than saying One Direction’s generic music is ‘generic’. But I guess actual fact would get in the way of your pseudo deep comment right?

The sad thing about this article is none of these songs are bad. AT ALL. Sure they may not be to your liking but none of them suck, and you can’t even justify why you think they suck. This article is stupid and negative and not remotely funny or insightful.

lol, just because someone is quiet/reserved doesn’t mean they’re boring as paint drying. people always have extreme opinions on zayn, whether it’s love or hate, because he has the type of personality you can project whatever you want on. that doesn’t mean he’s a blank slate or dull, quite the opposite. for a…

you’re right, it is completely subjective whether something is universally interesting, but even if you can’t relate to the lyrics that doesn’t mean they lack meaning or substance. it just means you can’t connect to them. i can’t relate to the content of various albums but i don’t suggest they’re derivative for this

What? He left to make music with more substance than 1D’s bubblegum pop and he succeeded. His songs may be lyrically lacking and not discussing god and religion and the meaning of life or whatever you consider ‘interesting’ but they’re clearly honest and personal to him? you expected too much

If zayn was so dull you wouldn’t have written multiple paragraphs about his character. just saying.

I can’t my head around this article. It sounds like you expected him to be some kind of radical music revolutionary. Were you expecting an album of ambient hymns or something? He promised alternative r&b and he delivered. Also why the fixation on him being an interesting character for public consumption?
