One Direction charm new fans and old Some of the most powerful vocals came from Harry Styles, particularly evident during 'I Would'. THEY are the world's biggest boy band and this was the most anticipated concert of the year - if not the decade. And despite One Direction's controversial entry into Perth on Thursday they certainly didn't let their screaming, teenage-based audience down last night. The Take Me Home concert began by introducing the superstar boys one by one on large video screens, quickly building the mood in Perth Arena to a frenzy. And when Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson finally emerged on stage it was to an eruption of ear-piercing screams from the mostly female audience. Launching into the hit Up All Night the stylishly dressed lads, who formed during 2010"s UK X factor, proved their good looks weren't the only thing they had going for them. As he announced on Twitter before the show Louis had lost his voice, but gave a valiant effort, supported by the rest of the band. "Apart from this stupid voice I'm having a great time," he told the audience. One Direction's Zayn Malik and Harry Styles enjoy some downtime in Perth. The others strong vocals were impressive, and the harmonies during More than This clearly well-rehearsed. But the most powerful vocals came from Zayn and Harry, particularly evident during I Would. Cool kid Liam oosed charisma strutting around the stage, and 21 year-old Louis delighted with his cheeky humour. Irish born Niall didn't disappoint either, playing acoustic guitar for Little Things and Summer Love, sending fans into a tizzy. While this reviewer can't admit to being a One Directioner before seeing the British quintuplet perform, I was quickly won over by their infectious pop melodies and easy going charm. Yes, most songs had a similar underlying basic structure, but there's no denying this was just good, classic pop music. The fact it was a seated show didn't stop the crowd, including cricketer Adam Gilchrist, his wife and children, from dancing to hits such as Kiss You, One Way or Another and Live While We're Young.. But of course the highlights of the night were when the boys belted out, along with a little help from the audience, their mega-hits One Thing and What Makes You Beautiful. Even though this was their 109th show of the worldwide tour, the lads were fresh faced and energetic. Answering fans questions from Twitter took up too much time, with the audience starting to get restless, but for the most part the performance ran smoothly. The visual props throughout the show were impressive, none more so than the floating stage used during Change My Mind. But the boys did well in keeping things personal with the audience. Interspersing singing with plenty of winks, smiles and bucket loads of charm it was easy to see why these boys have won hearts of young girls worldwide. It's possible I emerged a little in love too.
