A sea of frenzied teenage girls wearing outfits they somehow sneaked past their mothers screamed with impressive endurance at KeyArena Sunday, for boy-band sensation One Direction. Signs, T-shirts and training bras flew through the air, most of them falling short of the band’s elevated platform.
If it hadn’t been for the persistent high-pitched shrieks and shouts of “Marry me, Harry!” the hour-and-a-half, 21-song show might have been enjoyable.
Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik — all 19-21 — went through all the motions to show their neon-and-denim, crop-top-and-short-shorts-clad admirers a good time. They gazed into the eyes of front-row fans, they kept asking if everyone was having a good time and they made silly faces at each other every now and then.
Their poppy voices harmonized more naturally than might be expected for this generation’s favorite new boy band. Their show wasn’t carefully or artfully choreographed, but it didn’t need to be. The allure of this group isn’t in its dancing. It’s in Styles’ hair flips, Payne’s surprising goofiness, Tomlinson’s cheekiness, Horan’s cuteness and Malik’s mysteriousness, all coupled with powerful vocal cords and adorable onstage interactions.
They all screamed for One Direction
