November 2011
Louis: I knew even when I looked across to him during the performance after then that he just wasn't himself after that. And it was really horrible for me to watch because as a friend I kind of wanted to do something but I could hardly walk over to him in the performance and go, "Are you alright?"
Niall: When it came to it, he didn't take enough breaths. He's got an incredible voice, really rocky tone and he knows how to use it. He thought he let everyone down but no, he didn't at all.
Niall: Harry takes that kind of thing to heart, he's one of those people that doesn't like to read what's said about him but he does in a way. And he went on Twitter that night and a lot of people were talking about him.
Harry: It was one of those times where you're kind of feeling a bit sorry for yourself so you're looking for bad comments to make sure that you're right about it being bad. I went online and had a look at what people were saying about me.
Niall: The stuff that people were saying about him were disgusting and no one wants to go and read that stuff about themselves, no matter who they are.
Harry: I actually searched for, "harry shit" on my phone and I just read a massive list of these comments.
Louis: It's quite frustrating because when I tried comforting him after the performance, nothing I could say could really make that much a difference. I really wanted to do something for a friend but I couldn't.
Harry: If there's 3 people saying you're amazing you don't think, "why are they saying I'm amazing?" because they're saying you're amazing because they're a fan. But if there's one saying that they hate you it's like, why do they hate me. What have I done. I can take criticism, I can definitely take criticism. But if it's just a "I don't like you" then I want to know why people don't like me. I've always wanted to be one of those people who didn't really care that much about what other people thought about them. But I just don't think I am.
Holy crap! Holy bleeping bleepity bleep!
