I like how harry holds his own and puts Ellen in the hot seat. Also wild how much harry deals w w that girl kissing him not letting go and sitting on his lap he looked uncomfortable but was so polite it’s kinda sad

[@Moby-Dick988]

She loves him sexually, not as musician or as a person, her behavior is obnoxious. Does't deserve ticket or meeting them at all.

[@RaniaBhatti]

I don’t think that I think any fan would do that given the chance

[@midnight_poet_swiftie]

he was so uncomfortable and it was so awkward, also i got second hand embarrassment watching her do that on LIVE television.

Does any one knows that song name which played on there entrance?

Thanks… it was great to finally see the entire interview.

[@andieu2055]

3:03 the way Louis talked about how they making "new allbums" is actually hurt. like they are being exploitation by their manager too much. to see One Direction together is actually emotional for me but I can deal with the fact that they were always exhausted and can't be themself

[@meghbanerjee4259]

aww yeah hopefully they come back soon with better management

[@EmilyFortenberry-og3rf]

Niall Horan has always been me and my two sisters’ favorite singer. I have always wanted to meet him. I have always had a very happy, nostalgic feeling whenever I hear your first album “flicker”. And, Niall Horan, if you are reading this, I love your work. And if you have any spare time if it wouldn’t be out of your way, it would mean the world to me if you could come to a small town in Mississippi called Magnolia. It’s a small country town with big, beautiful rolling fields with the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Look for the Fortenberry’s everyone knows us. We live in a rural area completely surrounded by our closest family. My sister is turning 18 and it would be the best birthday gift if she could meet you. So if you are or know Niall Horan, please if it’s not too much trouble, we would love to meet you.
