Maybe it's the catchy pop riffs? Maybe it's the cuteness factor? Perhaps it's subliminal messaging?! Ok, it's probably not subliminal messaging... Whatever it is, One Direction have it and it's making girls around the world go bonkers! Unsurprisingly, young Kiwi girls are far from immune.
Screaming tweens turned out in droves for One Direction's second sold out concert, at Auckland's Vector Arena. Brandishing signs and posters, some of which read "Niall, Irish you were naked", "Marry me Harry" and "Date me I'm a llama tamer".
The band has come a long way since their X Factor days and they seem to be right at home with their superstar status, but it's hard to believe that they would ever get used to the high pitched shrieks of their fans.
The night kicked off with the energetic anthem Up All Night getting the crowd out of their seats. There is no doubt that these boys can sing. Their harmonies, for the most part, seemed effortless. There were a few moments where some notes were a little too high for Zayn, but he made up for it with an amazing vocal run at the end of Last First Kiss.
