He’s also frankly gorgeous, all sculpted, glossy angles. When I look at the structure of his face I am reminded of a geometric prism, or the interior of a geode. These features were identifiable even early in their careers when the other four members appeared to be one elastic teenage face. His hair is also shapely, shimmering and kind of incandescently dark, as if permanently enhanced by a follow spot. Its styling never quite collapsed into the strange vertical animals emerging from the skulls of Tomlinson or Niall Horan. An enduring image of One Direction is of Malik in the Night Changes video, the soft and intricate cascade of his hair merging with a dense knot of spaghetti.
In most One Direction choruses, five voices of varying integrity collapse into a single, compact chord. It’s an arena rock aesthetic, treating harmonies as if they’re a system of collapsing stars; it gives the condensing voices a kind of internal velocity. It also makes One Direction songs near-impossible to simulate at karaoke without profound breath and pitch control. (I’ve tried. A lot.) I think this is the source of a lot of their appeal; their voices and the instrumentation, which is usually minimal guitar figures against fluorescent banks of synths, cause their songs feel like a form of glam rock that’s rushing at you in three dimensions.
The remaining members of One Direction have only performed a few concerts without Malik, so it’s hard to determine if his subtraction from the group creates an imbalance in the harmonic attack. But he leaves a void of personality, a void of vocal agility. Without him the group loses some of its distinctiveness and slowly morphs into four goofy white guys shouting.
I cannot @ that (very accurate) description of Zayn's beauty appearing in The Guardian. Ziam fan fiction teas
I just watched a live vocal vid of him on youtube (I've never actually heard them sing before) and the boy has some pipes. He just needs training. The rest really can't do much.

I'm glad he left tbh he was the only one I can see going solo he's got the looks and the voice(maybe Harry) but Zayn was always the obvious one. His looks>>>>>>>>>.
Liam has had the most training and has more technique but Zayn is definitely the best voice there, making Liam's voice sound weak in comparison. Raw, explosive talent. The rest do tend to sound like they're speaking but in an American accent.
It's true though
