In the beginning, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson were just five boys auditioning seperatley. On the UK version of The X Factor, the boys didn't know each other. After the grueling audition process, they found out they had made it throught to the judges houses.
When the tough part came, Niall, Zayn, Louis, Liam, and Harry, were cut from the competition. But a judges sudden "aha" moment happens, One Direction will be formed. Nicole Scherzinger, from the forever popular Pussycat Dolls, decided that the five boys had too much talent to put to waste. She suggested to Simon Cowell that they call back the five and put them in a band.
Callback time! Approaching the stage with each other, hand in hand, they were nervous as to what they needed. Simon Cowell proceeded to say, "We've decided to make you guys into a group." Harry and the other four hit the floor after hearing this.
Week after week, the boys were put through to the next round. Until, it was the week before the final, One Direction and two other talented people were brought forward. Waiting to hear the results was agonizing pain. When the results came out, One Direction was not going to be in the final.
Devastated, the boys were interviewed about what they were going to do after X Factor. Zayn Malik said "Well, we're going to stay together and make records."
Indeed they did make records and built up an approximate 28.7 million Directioners worldwide. As soon as their debut album Up All Night hit stores, it sold over 100,000 copies the first week! Making them bigger than Justin Bieber! "What Makes You Beautiful", the band's debut single, was top of the charts for eight weeks ina row.
One Direction has set to release their new single, "Live While We're Young", in the US on October 1, 2012. The new album is set to release in the US on November 13, 2012.
One more thing, I am a very proud Directioner and I am not afraid to say it!
