One Direction: My First Time

One Direction, teenage boy band heart throbs. On September 6, 2012, they took the stage and were nominated for three awards, Best New Artist, Best Pop Video, and Most Share-Worthy Video. All of which they won.

Voting started on August first and continued through September first.With other nominees such as Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato, One Direction was worried that they were going to lose for sure. But the boys knew that the almost 30 million Directioners had their backs.


Votes went through the roof with close to 25 million votes for Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis, and Liam. The day of the VMAs (Video Music Awards) had arrived and the boys were as nervous as ever. Prepping backstage for hours at a time to sing their song, "One Thing," the boys continued to encourage each other.

First category, Best Pop Video. Katy Perry had the pink and yellow envelope that would declare the winner. "And the winner is! One Direction!" Katy Perry had declared One Direction the winner. Running up to get the award, they were almost in tears. Niall and Harry bith kissed Katy on the lips, (I was extremely jealous of Katy) while Zayn, Liam, and Louis kissed her on the cheek, due to the fact that they have girlfriends.

Time for their first performance! The boys have prepared for this night for at least two months. Hitting the stage, Liam and the boys were overwhelmed with how many girls were there to supoort them. Everytime they would do a solo, the girls would scream and go nuts!
