One Direction

I think they're hyped up a lot because they were like unknown until X Factor, they were solo artists and they all got put together and it worked? They're not God's gift or anything and they're ok but I don't agree with people throwing themselves at them and crying when they just see them lmao. They sound ok but I wouldn't go overboard, they have way too much fame than other people who haven't come from a talent show.

Well the xfactor is what made them. I agree that some fans go a bit obsessive which isn't necessary. One person actually fainted when she touched zayn at an album signing.

I guess but really even without the Syco label they have (don't they?) I believe they could have done well regardless maybe not as good as what Simon Cowell made them admittedly (such as he flies them off to USA to do their videos but with people like Misha B and Ronan Parke he puts them in front of a green screen), they have the likability factor which I think contributes a lot. I suppose the fame hasn't gone to their head really? Not like some people may be.

Yeah I'm sure they would have done well regardless, they have the looks and decent voices so it would be hard for them not to. I don't think anythings gone to their heads, they seem to appreciate the fan support a lot.

I love them so much! They all seem so lovely too.
Their music is good and I'm glad they get so much of a hype really. I like how most of them try their hardest to get to know the fans and things and try interacting with them on Twitter, it's nice.

I love them but I really think their Up All Night album did them no justice, they do have talent but they ruined it by using auto tune too much on the album. They were very good on the xfactor but they have improved a lot as you can tell with their acoustic stuff they do and the live tour (i've only watched videos cause I can't go to them due to lack of money *+*+) but yeah when I have money I do and try and buy their merch like I have 6 large posters of them and magazine ones (my wallpaper is just posters now), I have their Dare To Dream book, Up all night album, All their singles (WMYB, GBY & OT) and their Up All Night live tour DVD. I still have't managed to see them live and I've not got tickets to their next tour either so I can't really say how good they are live accurately since I've only seen videos! But I hope to see them live in the future

they are alright, although i think liam is the only truly talented singer out of them, the other 4 just got incredibly lucky

None of them are exceptionally talented in any way. They are, at the end of the day, a good looking bunch of guys with decent voices who found themselves in a lucky situation on The X Factor. Throw in some good stylists and a marketing team and you get success. They're doing very well for themselves and they seem like nice enough guys so fair play to them, make the most of it I say. I doubt it will last though as they are too reliant on other people, and just like other teen sensations, their fan-base will grow out of them eventually and then what?

With a group like Take That though, they write their own music so they have their own identity. One Direction are just singing generic songs that could be sung by any group of 5 boys chucked together. Unless they can break out of that mould, it won't last for them.

omfg so here we go, get ready guys.

i really love them, and idk if i love them them, but i love how tumblr shows them in the fandom. like we each have taken it to a new level, i fell in love with the guys through stories and through gifs of them and it's just hyklasdf the feels man.

i really love liam, he is so adorable and cute and nice and caring and ugh, and he love danielle which is adorable and she's nice but then there is zayn, who looks like he's in love with liam but liam isn't getting it and it's just heartache okay, so then he takes his sexual frustration out on harry or niall who welcome it cause that's what friends do, right, and ik about the larry stuff but harry isn't rly cheating cos he feels just as bad as zayn cause louis with eleanor and it's just a mess of sexual frustration with them all, bless them all x

and ik it's probs all in our heads but i don't care, i ship ziam more than i do myself with air okay ok
like i can't even imagine my life without shipping now
like i can't even

i think liam and zayn are really great singers, i don't care for their overall songs tbh tho cause it isn't really my style, ofc it's aimed at young teen girls which i'm not and yh

like i feel so bad for my future boyfriend because the 1d boys have built such a high pedestal

i want someone as caring as liam, as gorgeous as zayn, as fun as niall, as energetic as louis, and as irresistible as harry
is that really to much to ask for
like really
am i asking too much

and like if zayn and liam don't end up married or dating
or any of the boys don't end up publicly announcing their relationship
then i will have lost all faith in life and idk what i would do with myself, sighs

i mean, i didn't ask for this you know
do you really think any of us would have asked for this
to cry ourselves to sleep at night because our ship is sinking or what not
to have to watch them love one another so closely yet so far away and ugh
just i can't even

and really it scares me because i've never been so involved before
i've never been in a fandom before i don't think
not like this

like i know i had a thing for the jonas brothers when they were around
and then in like 2010 i was a belieber, i bought so many posters of him and omfg, his books, a backpack, t-shirts, even a pre-screening of his movie

but then 1d came along, and i wasn't even a fan, really, i just thought zayn looked cute, that was it, and i went on tumblr and BAM! it just happened
and i've been shipping ziam ever since

i didn't ask for this
i didn't mean to make my life so hard

but i wouldn't take it back for anything

what is wrong with me omg

i can't even
