YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

23 Of Zayn Malik's Best Vocals

The best vocals for the best birthday boy.

Zayn Malik, though no longer the high-note-wailing member of One Direction, has the pipes of the angel Gabriel. Despite not having any solo music to show in his post-1D world (despite this excellent demo and that "Befour" instrumental), we know he still has it.

Now, since it's Zayn's 23rd birthday, I thought we'd celebrate the way fans would -- acknowledging his talent. There are dozens of fan accounts dedicated to "Best Zayn Vocals," so let's discover them:

I want to take this 'You & I' high note and spread it on toast.

Even as a fresh, young boybander, he was on it.

Let's listen to 'You & I' again, please.

Again, again!

Changing it up a lil'.

Sometimes his simplest flairs are the most exquisite.

Remember when he covered Taylor Swift?

And the Black Eyed Peas?

OK, let's slow it down a little bit.

Sing!

He made that change, all right.

What in the freaking world.

Louis understands.

Seriously, Louis was so public about his approval.

This is why he was known for his high notes.

He could riff on anything.

'You & I' forever.

Wow. Never forget.
