One of the concerts I attended was One Direction. One Direction was formed by a group of boys from London in 2010. These young men were also known as Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. The band started on a British TV talent show called The X Factor. During the audition, the boys were eliminated as individuals, but Simon Cowell saw great potential in these young people as a group. He decided to make it happen by giving them another chance to perform together, and indeed they have become famous since the formation of the English-Irish boy band One Direction. On September 13th last year I attended their Where We Are tour. It took place at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena. The concert started a few minutes after the indicated start time of 7pm. I didn't care because everyone in the stadium was chanting One Direction's name, screaming and the lights filled every corner of the stadium. Just being in the same place as One Direction made me feel happy. Everyone was full of contagious energy. I was too happy to even worry about the concert starting a few minutes late. One Direction came out a few minutes later and I immediately knew it would be worth it. They performed five of my favorite songs. Their setlist included “Little Things” by Ed Sheeran and Fiona Bevan and “Change My Mind” composed by Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub and Carl Anthony Falk. On the encore list were "You & I" by Julian Bunetta, Jamie Scott and John Ryan, "Story of My Life" by Jamie Scott, Julian Bunetta, John Ryan and the members of One Direction, and "Best Song Ever" by Wayne Hector, John Ryan, Ed Drewett, Julian Bunetta. The first song I would like to write...... middle of paper...... mine”. Despite the connection I have with the song, I feel that the performance was below average overall because stage presence and coherence were really lacking. I understand that it is a slower song than the others in the main setlist, however, even though the pace of the song is slow, the performer still has to maintain a balance of energy and chemistry with the audience, which he failed to do. Towards the end, Zayn's falsetto during his improvisations in the bridge section compensated for the flat notes sung by the group earlier. He has always been the strongest soloist. I also admired the floating platform they used to float above the audience for this song because it changes our perception. I admired them physically as much as I admired them emotionally. It was definitely a great experience. I can't wait to see another concert of theirs.
