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.

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]

I can't believe how much time has passed, if only he knew everything he has achieved throughout his career, he is definitely a great artist ♡

[@sillylovesongs581]

I think one direction truly embodies what “the X factor” is all about. None of their individual auditions were vocal masterpieces or even very good, but the judges could sense something in each of them. And then putting them all together, THAT was the magic. Probably the best thing to come out of this show.
