Best Singers In One Direction and the Wanted

Who do you think is the best singer out of One Direction and The Wanted combined?
The Top Ten
1 Zayn Malik Zain Javadd Malik, born on 12 January 1993, who records mononymously as ZAYN, is a British singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Bradford, ZAYN aspired to pursue a career in music from a young age leading him to audition as a solo artist for the British reality television music competition The X ...read more.

In 1d the best singer hands down is Zayn due to his wide vocal range. Other members are good to but they all lack something in there vocals. For example Harry can't really hit a lot of high notes or low for that matter, and when he does try to sing high it feels like he is screaming like the live performances of story of my life and on the other hand liam is the 2nd best singer for his low notes, falsetto and voice control. He can sing a lot of low notes but can't sing high live just like in best song ever performances his voice gives out. The other two members of 1d, Niall and louis have unique and distinct voices but not the best. The only contenders I see for this showdown would be nathan and zayn. The reason I voted for zayn is because he has a smooth rnb kind of voice and nathan has too much rasp for my liking. Also nathan just had a surgery so I don't know how much he will recover but Zayn been smoking since he was 15 so they both have a handicap. My money would either be on ...more

I'll break it down, so everyone can understand. Lets start with the weakest singer to the strongest. First lets look at Siva and louis, in this matchup louis would win because he has a higher vocal range due to his thin voice, compared to siva's husky and restrictive voice. Next niall and max woukd be a draw due to similar vocal capability. It will depend on their confidence and experience. Then tom and harry would be close but tom would win because of harry's vocal limitations and straining. Next will be Max and Liam this will be a draw because they both have similar vocal ranges and have a lot of control, experience & confidence. Then lastly Nathan and Zayn, Zayn would win this because he has a bigger vocal range and also he can do whatever nathan and max can do combined together. Zayn's voice is like rnb/soul version of Adam Lambert's, whereas Nathan has too much rasp and limited vocal range. I know he can hold some high notes longer than Zayn but we are talking about vocal range ...more

I think he's one of the best signer of our era,he has an incredible range,a beautiful voice,he can do the high notes and the falsettos and he has powerful,i'm happy that he left 1d he had too much potential to be in and sorry if my English is bad but I'm French,hope people who don't like 1d will recognise his talent now that he isn't anymore in this band,he is very very talentend and I think we don't talk enough about him and I think he can do better than he is doing because they weren't very coached and he has an handicap he smokes and I'm sad about that he needs to stop but whatever he is really really good,love him

Zayn has a wonderful voice and wide range with impressive limits for someone whose vocal range is still developing. I foresee him becoming a very powerful singer.

2 Louis Tomlinson Louis Tomlinson is an English singer-songwriter, known as a member of the boy band One Direction. He was born on 24 December 1991 in Doncaster.

He has such a distinctive voice and is the best during live performances. Also you can hear the emotion in his voice.

Louis has a really beautiful and unique voice. He should really get more solos.

He is the highest tenor of the group, his voice have a hight tone

Only singer in the world who has a beautiful angel like voice.

3 Nathan Sykes Nathan James Sykes is an English singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known for being the youngest member of the British boy band The Wanted.

Yeah, I'm gonna shoot for Nathan. Although Zayn has an amazing voice with a pretty wide vocal range, so does Nathan. Nathan's lower and middle octaves are way more controlled and tamed than Zayn's. And even though Zayn can hit higher notes, it still counts for how long he can hold them. Nathan beats him in that. His voice is AMAZING. And rasp isn't necessarily a bad thing. I happen to actually like a little bit of rasp in a guy's voice - but that's just me. So in terms of actual singing and experience, I'd say Nathan has the upper hand.

Sorry but he is better than Zayn.

He has a great control of his lower register and he is way more powerful and resonant in the middle one.
He can substain high notes very well but doesn't use the falsetto register very much.

As vocalist he is way more trained, with a better technique and honestly even more style.

Such a strong voice! You can hear the richness when he sings 'I Found You'. His vocal range is incredible and he can hold those notes for such a long time! The texture in his voice is amazing! Love him!

I'm a Directioner but yeah Nathan actually deserves the No.2 spot. His voice is so clear and can reach both the lows and highs. He is amazing at falsettos too.
BUT ZAYN IS THE BEST.

4 Niall Horan Niall James Horan is an Irish singer-songwriter and guitarist, known as a member of the boy band One Direction.

Niall's voice is original and can't be find in any other man in the world because it's unique. I rekon his voice hasn't been much credit in the past, but I believe that Niall has demonstrated his vocal skill and cleverness step by step and by working hard. He can dance, he can rap, he can do different accents and speak different languages, he can play guitar, drum, and maybe piano too... He can do everything! He's amazing! I also love his attitude and behaviour on the stage: he's the most endearing and lively in the band in my opinion. I love him and I hope his voice will be more considered in the future! W Niall!

Niall's voice is unique. It's not like Liam or Louis' common voice on a guy. His is raspy and scratchy and he can also go really high. His version of Baby is priceless and when him and Olly Murs sang Heart Skips a Beat he nailed those notes! He has he best voice in 1D or the wanted

Niall's voice is very cute,soft and very touching. You are the best for me. And all the people who love you I seriously can do anything to hear your voice live. U have a lot of talents. Especially playing the guitar.

Nialler is absolutely beautiful when it comes to his voice gorgeous indeed he's grown so much potential he's always been an amazing singer but now he's just speechless

5 Harry Styles Harry Edward Styles is an English singer and songwriter. He was initially known as a member of the boy band One Direction. He has since become well known as a solo artist with three albums, "Harry Styles", "Fine Line", and "Harry's House", and has had multiple global hits in his solo career such as "Watermelon Sugar" and "As It Was".

It's Harry's voice that makes me listen to 1D songs.
He has that magnetic personality and I actually bought their new album
Because I love Story of My Life the most.

Harry Styles is so SEXY! He has that face and personality that no one can resist! I LOVE YOU HARRY STYLES!

I'm in love with his voice. He has a dark and deep voice which I like a lot. He could have come easily first.

Funny nice and caring. He acts like himself on stage which makes things fun for everyone.

6 Max George

Seriously? Max George below Louis and Niall? Louis' voice is so weak and always cracks. He always sound off key live. Niall's isn't bad but my personal opinion is that Max is just a better vocalist. Louis should totally be last on this list. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Max is brilliant in fact he was a guest star in Glee.
This sounds really stupid but if Glee was rebooted he could be the new "Puck" yeah I know Max is British, but fake an American accent.

His voice is outstanding.. Zayn has a good voice but is good looking byt MAX has an outsanding voice.. he rocks

7 Liam Payne Liam James Payne is an English singer and songwriter. He made his debut as a singer when he auditioned as a solo artist for the British television series The X Factor in 2008 with "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra.

THE ONE WHO VOTE TOM PARKER TO ME HE'S A WORST SINGER EVER, AND I'M SORRY I'm NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN IS JUST MY OWN OPINION. ANYWAY LIAM SHOULD BE THE TOP LIKE #1 JUST BECAUSE LIAM IS WAY BETTER THAN TOM, AND MAX TOO BUT GOOD THING ZAYN IS IN THE TOP I GET IT BUT STILL that's WHY TOM IS IN 8TH PLACE.

Who’s voting in this poll. Liam’s arguably the best singer in the world. Okay so I’m exaggerating, but I’m allowed to since this list is farcical.

How come liam is on 5? He deserves to be on the top. Everything is so perfect about him. His powerful voice, his high notes, his low notes. Give him a listen and you'll know.

I don't care about the rating. Liam is 1st 4 me. He's got Aussie accent but a deep and versitile voice. Good looking but fears a spoon. His voice is so good that it must be his trade mark.

8 Tom Parker

Hey, u shouldn't be surprised, 1D topped the charts. I didn't even know what The Wanted exists until now. No of fence though. That was kinda mean... Sorry!

The Wanted are way better than One Direction. They have looks AND talent!

He shouldn't be on the bottom,he should be on the top below Nathan

How can someone say the wanted r better than one direction. I dint evn knew them untill my friends told me

9 Jay McGuiness

Jay Mcguiness is just not heard enough his voice is amazing and I think he should be no1 above them all

He's perfect talented inspiring and flawless

Pure, beautiful perfection

10 Siva Kaneswaran

Love your sharpness of voice..
