Harry Styles is turning 22 soon, and we just couldn’t let his birthday slip by without showcasing some of the best things about him. Harry’s stage presence mixed with his incredible vocal talent is one of the best parts about One Direction concerts – he truly gives his all in every song and every performance.
Here are 22 of Harry’s best vocal moments!
22. This part in Kiss Me
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/690216215311155200
We kick off with young Harry singing his part in Kiss Me and it makes us smile, look back fondly, and remember how this whole journey with One Direction started.
21. When Harry sings in Clouds
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/675458535375962112
If you were lucky enough to go to OTRA you know this is the song the boys rushed the stage to – Harry’s voice on the tune is powerful and strong, it’s one of his best shows of vocals to date.
20. This part of You & I
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/685509746040913924
This song never stops giving us chills and Harry’s voice when he sings not even the gods above, could separate the two of us is perfect. He puts his all in to every song, but this one is a little bit extra special
19. The time he did this during Midnight Memories and we didn’t survive
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/665994422992166912
Um, but did you have to do this? His voice sounds incredibly soulful and a bit sexy and that hair flip!
18. The way he sings Infinity
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/667084555527045121
Harry has said that Infinity is his favorite song on MITAM and we understand why; he sings it with so much passion that it’s hard not to get lost in the tune.
17. Harry covering Use Somebody
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/688126800442986498
Does this one even need an explanation? His voice is a perfect match for this song.
16. This note in Last First Kiss
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/665647295346696193
We will never be able to get over the early days with One Direction and even thought Harry’s voice has only grown more incredible with each passing moment he’s spent with One Direction – some of our favorite tunes come from the beginning. This is definitely a moment that Harry had incredible vocals that we’ll never forget.
15. His passion during Through The Dark
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/664505132084822016
Harry gives it all from start to finish at all of his concerts and you can always tell which songs mean the most to him – Through The Dark is definitely one of them.
14. This part of Ready to Run
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/686917297324339200
Ready to run is one of those songs you could listen to on repeat and not get sick of, this specific part of the song is one of the main reasons why.
13. This part of Summer Love
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/665968642505498624
This is one of the most honest lyrics in all of One Direction’s songs; you just hope the person you cared about won’t forget that you had it all – the emotion in Harry’s voice when he sings this song is beautiful.
12. His voice in Story of my Life
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/685199163382984706
This is another one that’s hard to put into words, his voice here almost takes our breath away.
11. When he did this during No Control
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/667862043001679872
Harry always goes crazy during No Control (wonder why….) and this was absolutely one of the best things he added to the song, not only is his voice smooth but the little growl he adds – we’re here for it!
10. This solo in Night Changes
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/692829030865829888
Harry’s original verse in this tune is lovely, but when Zayn was ill and we first heard Harry sing this part, we fell in love immediately!
9. His raspy voice in Kiss You
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/688733387981467648
So we had to put this song on the list twice because during this specific performance Harry does something unique with his voice and our hearts sort of melted.
8. This part of Little Things
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/689570896105840640
We couldn’t make a list of Harry’s best vocals without including this tune – and can you get past his smile in this specific video? A smile makes all the difference in the tone of someone’s voice and this song is enhanced by Harry’s light.
7. When he sings Strong
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/667131721284984833
Strong has always been one of One Direction fans’ favorites. Harry’s voice on the track is packed full of emotion, this specific part of the song is always lovely.
6. When he re-created his own echo during Stockholm Syndrome
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/686242212397580289
His voice, his bun, his sideways smile – we didn’t survive this one.
5. This line in Stockholm Syndrome
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/693179065235329024
Okay so we just talked about Stockholm Syndrome but you cant blame us for including it twice. I’s an incredible tune to listen to on the album, but hearing it live is even better – especially when Harry’s smooth voice takes over!
4. This run in Drag Me Down
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/692098080590729218
There aren’t any words, we seriously lose it a little more every time the end of Drag Me Down approaches and we know we’re about to hear this part. Harry is an angel. We’re convinced.
3. His solo in Over Again
https://twitter.com/bestHvocals/status/690194873346080768
Over Again is one of our favorite songs and Harry’s solo in it is absolutely beautiful, honestly out of every song One Direction has put out, this one has to be one of the most lovely.
2. This note change in 18
@Harry_Styles I love your 18 note change. pic.twitter.com/CYWW358lLF

Harry has done some lovely note changes during the OTRA tour, two of our favorites came from 18 and this specific occurrence has to be the best one he did. His voice is soft but strong and he carries it so well – we could listen to this forever.
1. This Fireproof note change

If you ask any OTRA concert go-er what note change they remember best; it’s likely to be this one. Harry added a little extra during fireproof – already a fan favorite – and made the song that much better. We don’t know about you, but when we’re listening to this in the car – we add the oOoOoOoOo too.
