It's been a little over a year since one Direction has gone on hiatus, and there are no signs of them getting back together anytime soon. But despite their recent breakup, it's still fun to go back and listen to some of their older work. As I did this the other day, I realized one of the band members didn't get enough recognition and decided to give him the spotlight for this article. Louis Tomlinson has had a busy life these past few years. From being in a boyband to becoming a father, this guy is always on the go. So let's go back and see some of his best from back in his "glory days" of One Direction.

10. Moments

For their debut album, Louis didn't receive many solos. But despite his lack of vocal opportunities, he smashed it with this song. Moments is a ballad that truly exemplified Louis and his softer voice.

9. Right Now

It was rare for a one Direction song to start with Louis, but this song proved otherwise. Midnight Memories is One Direction's third album and is significant to the dynamic of the group because each member was given more equal singing opportunities.

8. Summer Love

Louis was still young in this song, and you can easily tell when his part comes up. His voice is interesting though because it's so raw compared to the rest of the band.

7. Fireproof

Louis Tomlinson's voice is incredible in this song because you can tell how much it has matured throughout the years. It's easy to see that he has become more confident as a singer because he's showing that he's more willing to take on these challenging solos.

6. Alive

I enjoy him in this song because the lyrics are so powerful in his part. He sings, "We gotta live before we get older, do what we like we've got nothing to lose. Shake off the weight of the world from shoulders, we've got nothing to prove". This not only describes Louis' personality perfectly, but also allows him to test his vocal range as well.

5. I Want To Write You A Song

We get blessed with a falsetto from him in this tune.

4. 18

This may be some of the best work Louis has done when it comes to solos. Although he didn't have to hit a crazy note or go out of range, his soft and delicate voice was captured wonderfully in this song.

3. Over Again


One of the best parts of Louis singing is being able to hear his accent as he is singing. In this song, he somewhat "talks" while he's singing, so it's always nice to see some of his British roots come out in his performances.

2. Love You Goodbye

That. High. Note. He. Hits. Absolutely breathtaking. I will never skip over this song on shuffle because not only did Louis do a phenomenal job on it, but he also wrote most of the lyrics from personal experiences.

1. No Control

The tune that was made perfectly for him. Not only is he lead vocals in the chorus, but he even gets a shot at a solo (which he executes flawlessly).

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
