The fact that Katy had the final decision makes me think that she changed Nial's entire life just by saying yes to him, even she felt he was not prepared. Sometimes what we just need is a chance and someone that believes us.

Niall's vocals are not the best in this audition but his personality made up for it. He has improved alot vocally during the years

[@joanna4500]

agreed

[@eddiemurphy21]

When you are talking about a talent show and someone who is now a milionaire, there is no but. He was way too bad, he can't sing. To be able to sing is not something you can work out. You can only talk about improvement when there is talent which he has none. I fact I feel ashamed for what I have just watched specially when we now he is a professional singer.... He was given a chance to be in a boyband without singing. And he is famous for no reason. By the way, he was rude, arrogant, deluded, and pathetic.

[@samaviaanser8861]

​@@eddiemurphy21 and what have u achieved in your life bet even if u work your whole life you'd never be as famous, talented and rich as Niall bet u can't even sing properly lol people with zero talent or luck talking bout a successful guy

@@eddiemurphy21 if you think that cool. But I don’t see why it was necessary for you to slam him like that. I sincerely hope you don’t talk to people in real life. Also when have you ever been on the X factor and become part of one of the most famous boy bands of all time?

Poor Niall. The Judges Really Put Him Through Some Tough Judgements. He Really Got A Tough Audition.

Among the four unseen footage of the lads, Niall is the most confident one. And he was excited for himself, lol Niall. 😂😂😂 Good thing Katy gave him the CHONCE, and said yes. His voice may not be as polished compare to Liam and Zayn during the audition but we all know his voice during concert is as good as his voice during studio recordings. He really worked on it. Getting really excited for Louis' audition unseen footage.

Niall is confident, but I think Harry was the most confident, and relaxed. He was already interacting with the audience & answered the panels questions very well.

They were right though. I have watched every single auditions and there were better boys than him, but back then, Simon was looking for little “Justin B” group.

the fact the said he was “too confident” about how he would succeed but they were so wrong 😭 he filled arenas around the world AND was probably more successful than justin bieber

[@username980]

“Probably more successful than Justin Bieber”? Justin #1 singles = 8. Niall + 1D number 1 singles = 0. Not to mention Purpose obliterating MITAM when they were released the same day. Niall is already successful! You don’t need to make things up and put Justin (Niall’s friend!) down to prove anything.

[@MultiKamil97]

@@TruthBeToldbyBab That's the saddest part of the music business. It's not the singing anymore, but how good you are looking that is the main factor if you want to be a singer nowadays. I'm not bashing Niall of course because he's worked his ass off to become a very good singer but still there are tooons of talentless singers who got on the biggest stages only because they have charisma and good look.

[@TruthBeToldbyBab]

@@MultiKamil97 well, I second that.. neither I am bashing him because he worked hard after that to be where he is today.. but what I am pointing out is how people are calling names to these judges for humbling a borderline haughty teen, infact Simon was being extra lenient to him.
