What’s with all the Harry Styles love lately?

[Soubriquet]

He seems to have gained massive popularity and no bad word said against him.

What’s the allure?

I personally don’t get it.. he’s definitely not my type.

Bit weird resurrecting a year and a half old thread but ok…

he’s lucky that he has a naturally beautiful voice (although I dare say he’s had some professional vocal training since joining OD) but it wasn’t luck that he signed up to audition for X Factor, it wasn’t luck that he got as far as he did as the whole point of the show was to find gifted singers which he was/is, it wasn’t luck that they were as successful as they were, it was the result of very clever songwriting and shrewd marketing, and it isn’t luck that he continues to be successful as so far as I can see, he’s very talented and works hard. To suggest it’s just luck would imply that he hasn’t earned it.

I don't understand the Harry Styles phenomena either. I didn't follow One Direction and I think the first I heard was when he was on the Brits and released a new album recently. Then he started appearing everywhere all over my feed.

I recognised a few of his songs, and I do kind of like the popular ones. But the new stuff is too remarkably like LCD Soundsystem who were the literal definition of cool and that was 15+ years ago.

Maybe I'm old enough to be his mum but I also find some of his fan interactions a bit sleazy, like he is milking it and that's not going to age well. Am I alone in thinking he looks like a sixth form sociology teacher?

He's above average talented and works with very talented people, but I struggle to connect with him as an artist.

He just seems like a right nice young feller. Im not a fan of his music at all, but he just seems so nice.

This is 4 years old....
Looks like hes still popular ! 😄

I'm off to see him on Friday, absolutely can't wait.

Me too. And actually have tickets for sale as friends can no longer go (bloody good tickets for less than FV as well 🤦🏼‍♀️) I assume I can’t share a link on here but I have them up on twickets if anyone wanted the link just PM me - no direct exchange of cash with me so safe all round, and I have an extensive posting history so not here to just flog tickets!
