One Direction is a British-Irish boy band, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They finished third on the seventh series of The X Factor. They all auditioned solo for the boy’s category but did not make it but the five were put on a band after Nicole Scherzinger, of PussyCat Dolls, suggested they audition for the group. They did audition as One Direction but placed only third after Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Their song “Forever Young” which was supposed to have been released had they won was leaked onto the internet. And the rest is history as they say.
Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson,Zain Malik, Harry Styles and Liam Payne of 'One Direction' attend the Royal Film Performance and World Premiere of 'The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader' at Odeon Leicester Square on November 30, 2010 in London, England.
One Direction members might appear like they are almost always in suits but more often they can be seen in plain t-shirts with a coat on, blue jeans and sneakers. The casual look that makes them look like regular teens that they are.
Niall Horan (born 13 September 1993) is from Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. He is a pupil at Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar, a boys' CBS secondary school. His audition piece So Sick though he wasn't asked to finish and Cheryl Cole said no to him but they found him likable and adorable so he got in.
Zayn Malik (born 12 January 1993) is from West Lane Baildon, Bradford, UK. He is a pupil at Tong High School, a state comprehensive school.He is of Pakistani descent. His audition was initially not broadcast, but was shown after the series ended on companion show The Xtra Factor. Malik was noted for becoming nervous in bootcamp, and when he was told he had to dance, he decided to remain backstage, effectively running the risk of elimination. Cowell noticed Malik missing from the dance routine and went backstage and convinced him to return.
Liam Payne (born 29 August 1993), from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK, is a music technology student at City of Wolverhampton College, a Further Education College. Payne had auditioned in 2008 to The X Factor's fifth series when he was 14 and reached judges' houses, but Cowell thought he was not ready for the competition and asked him to come back in two years. This time Payne auditioned singing "Cry Me a River" and received a standing ovation from the audience and Simon Cowell. Of the five, I feel that he has the best vocals, just my 2 cents so fans please don’t get mad at me and his audition really showed how good he was....well, who can dispute that when Simon Cowell gave him a standing ovation. Quite a salute!
Harry Styles (born 1 February 1994) is from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, UK and is a pupil at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School, a state comprehensive school. Styles was the lead singer for the band White Eskimo with band members lead guitarist Haydn Morris, bass guitarist Nick Clough and drummer Will Sweeny. Styles auditioned with "Isn't She Lovely" and received positive comments from two of the three judges present at his audition, with Louis Walsh having doubts on whether he was ready to progress in the competition. At bootcamp, he sang "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" before being rejected and put into One Direction. I think he I the naughtiest of all, what with all the rumors of him with older women and has emerged as the heartthrob immediately.
Louis Tomlinson (born 24 December 1991) is from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK. He was a sixth form student at Hall Cross School, a state comprehensive school and previously a pupil at The Hayfield School, a state comprehensive school, before that.
