Thank God! Ryan I completely and 1000% have the same exact rant you do about the Larries. And i love somebody finally said it on a live stream. Those boys have tried so many ways to tell them they hate it, the crap said has ruined their actual relationships and for them to please stop. But even it coming out of their own mouths their suppose fan's STILL go yeah yeah we know Louis etc. It's ridiculous. Love love love your rant.

[@underratedartistes7730]

I loved liam's audition the most 😩 can't wait for his second album. In terms of ticket sales: 1) Harry (2 tours) 2) Niall (3 tours) 3) Louis (2 tours) 4) Zayn and liam have never toured so they don't have ticket sales. Stream ranking: 1) Harry with 3 albums 2) Zayn with 4 albums 3) Niall with 3 albums 4) Liam with 1 album 5) Louis with 2 albums

[@Mia-kq6ml]

technically niall only 2 tours. those were flicker sessions in a few cities before the album came out. not tour. and theres only been flicker world tour after that. this is second world tour.

[@otorix8767]

Zayn is second in terms of records, but he hasn’t toured, he had his first live show ever last week

Niall is selling arenas with 10k to 25k, even sometimes 50k people. He's gonna play at Madison Square Garden twice. I was at his show, it was amazing and his voice live sounds so beautiful. He's come so far. Also, I think you would like Zayn's new album. It's a different sound for him.

[@Ivyskid]

Liam winked at Cheryl trying to show his confident flirty side, and years later they got together and had their son Bear. I think there's 10 years between them so maybe thats why it didn't last.

[@keepthefaithalive]

Zayn is right after Harry in terms of records ..even without a single tour

[@lucillejeffery4740]

Zayn has always had the best vocals out of the 1D boys not saying there not all talented but Zayn is obviously the voice that stands out the most in a good way he is also the 2nd most successful

[@kayozz5387]

zayns first single and album went number 1 he is 2nd in sales but he never toured he just did his first ever show

[@keepthefaithalive]

You guys 😭... In terms numbers, streams and everything it's, 1 . HARRY 2. ZAYN 3.NIALL 4. LIAM 5. LOUIS

[@keepthefaithalive]

@TruthWins-qb9om yup...totally agree... I don't understand how the viewers, members of this channel don't clear their confusion... There should be an actual directioner who is not biased for their faves and tell them the actual thing ..😕

[@keepthefaithalive]

@TruthWins-qb9om they still haven't replied or acknowledged any of these comments.... sometimes it just makes me so irritated 😕

[@reyanahmed9043]

They hate Zayn they always disrespect him at any video reaction

[@nhobsessed]

I think out of all of them Niall and Liam were the most clear on what they wanted going in. It wouldn't really seem that way because of Niall's I guess overall 'carefree' attitude but he was the one who literally taught himself how to play the guitar and he did a lot of performances in pubs and other places before X-factor (there are videos) also I think he genuinely LOVED performing as we have heard from all the boys how he was always singing, playing his guitar and was always surrounded by a crowd during x-factor.

[@chrxstxna13]

you should watch the full versions of their auditions that were uploaded a few years ago! louis and harry both did 2 songs each which made me change my original opinion of those auditions.

[@sps589]

They already reacted to it. The extend version of Harry and Louis.

[@fxmcreations1209]

In terms of record selling Zayn is probably the highest after Harry. Zayn is the only 1D member who has 3 songs with 1 Billion views on KZbin as solo artist no promotions!!

[@user-lv3et3xj8h]

Ohhh excited for this

[@underratedartistes7730]

Niall had crazy ambitions but he made it!!! 😂

[@Imm320]

I'm so with you about the Larries. It's psychologically fascinating lol.

[@arlettashaw8226]

Cheryl the judge next to Simon later has Liam’s baby!

[@1dpmLTHSNHLPZM]

I think it was revealed that they were intentionally looking to form a boy band this season, and that’s why they probably let them through the next round. They saw their charisma and potential for their “project.”

[@sps589]

Simon wanted a boyband since he started that's why Louis W was in uk and Ronan Keating in Australia. Each year they try to put few people in groups, but groups always get eliminated early stages. Only little mix won

[@jaxonmcalley]

Can't believe Directioners still exist today.

[@AS-yz2iz]

THANK YOU so much for your sanity concerning the annoying "Larry" conspiracy. People need to grow up.

[@carol7363]

Hope someone asks them for their reaction on 5 of the most memorable moments in 1d history by hey angels. It's full of comedic gems.

[@ebonyqueen5873]

The fact that these guys think Zayn is the 4th most successful member of 1D in terms of sales and streams because this channel has been highjacked by Louis fans who are telling them Louis is the 2nd or 3rd most successful member is laughable. What is also laughable is that they think that cos Zayn has never toured as a solo artist, has barely promoted his music in 7 years and has not been seen in public for the last 7 years is amusing. Imagine despite all of that he's the 2nd most successful member of ID behind Harry in terms of sales and streams. Louis is in fact last. Also if Zayn toured the tickets would sell out in seconds as did his recent ONO performance at the 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London

[@arrowtotheknee2617]

zayn is my favourite and yes all this is factually true, but you don’t have to be passive aggressive when you explain this to them lol

[@WelpHereWeAreOnYouTube]

Your obsession and fandom and need to constantly defend someone who doesn’t even know you exist , is what’s laughable

[@ebonyqueen5873]

@@WelpHereWeAreOnKZbin And the way you kiss the backside of Louis fans just cos they make up the majority of your viewers is laughable. You believe anything they spoon feed you about Louis. Like I said Zayn is the second must successful member of 1D in terms of sales and streams, dispite no solo tour, barely any promo for 7 years, 1 TV performance in 7 years and no radio interviews for 7 years. Also he personally gifted me tickets to his show in London last week so he does know I exist!!

​@@arrowtotheknee2617These guys have been nasty, ignorant and prejudiced when talking about Zayn, calling him all sort of horrible names and mocking his stage presence when everyone knows he has suffered with anxiety for most of his career. They're supposed to be teachers but are the most ignorant people when it comes to music from non white artists I have ever seen on this platform

Regarding you loving the one hit wonder Bittersweet Symphony, REN actually does a retake of this song. I think you’d enjoy it!

[@rivervixens06]

if it was 2024 i don’t think they’ll make it guys 😭

[@sussie5463]

They were all lucky to get through. I think Liam did the best audition. I love Louis but his audition was terrible. They were all nervous but I felt his. I’m glad I was already a fan when I saw their X Factor journey as I could just go aww and think they’re adorable boys. Seems you’re doing the really long journey. 14 parts… some parts are really long… just saying.

[@criss9115]

i thought it was gonna be the complete unseen audition, Harry sangs another song before isn´t she lovely

[@fxmcreations1209]

Give us more zayn stuff ❤

[@LiveMusic1st]

I think it was all about song choice, but also genre, Harry, Niall sang pop music, Liam was a classic style to show range, zayn E sang r&b which is what he liked , Louis sang indie which is never going to sound right in that setting, but it was the music he liked and listened to Pop and r&b is what is played on the radio, indie is not it is mostly niche as far as radio is concerned.

[@gwenmoses3655]

Yoh just imagine he fathered a baby with one of the judges

[@keepthefaithalive]

I understand Lou is your favorite and mainly your viewers are Louies ..and I love him too, he is talented..but out of all the boys he is the least successful in numbers

[@kateeades2455]

He's been black listed & doesn't get air time.

[@keepthefaithalive]

@@kateeades2455 sure

[@madelcarmengarcia8251]

Pues sin apoyo de la industria como quieres? , pero el la esta ropiendo aun asi. El tiene a sus Louies

[@W0rdsandMus1c]

Liam's song is a classic by the great Billie Holliday and he really did it justice, all the boys are the same age as my son, so I had no interest in 1D, I only started catching up after hearing Harry Styles 1st solo single, as an older person I could really see how nervous and immature they were, I went to see Harry last year and his whole show was amazing, the best concert I have been to, I like Niall, Liam and Louis but can't take to Zayn's style, I have listened to his new album because he said he has changed, he hasn't still sounds the same to me, I am going to throw a spanner in the works and ask what is Zayn up to, could this be a sign of a 1D reunion? 🤔🤔x

[@princesslexi6422]

My favorite audition was Niall’s

[@betty_195]

If they're auditions would have been way better they probably would haver never been put together

[@drika1202]

In fact, Harry sang two songs and the video shows the best one. The other was terrible. He has evolved a lot.

[@TPWK216]

He picked the wrong song for sure, he was nerveous and it was a high key so it was a disaster to begin with. But he continued and made up for it with his charisma so I think that also had a role to why he got through. Most people would stop singing and they NEVER like that.

[@Angelsconspire]

Louis has the lowest numbers, kinda by a lot too, which is total bullshit. the rest of the boys have had radio hits whereas w/Louis; radio just won’t play his music 🙄

[@madelcarmengarcia8251]

You guys are far from done😭😭

[@WelpHereWeAreOnYouTube]

Egads

[@cathyh1309]

You didnt ask this question guys, but the family that you saw watching Harry's audition backstage were: his Mom Anne, his sister Gemma, his stepfather Robin (now deceased), his Aunt Dee and Uncle Mike (Anne's brother and sister-in-law), and his cousins Ella and Matty (2 of Dee & Mike's kids), They are a VERY close family. Ps - all 5 boys arent gay; just Louis and Harry 😁🤣😛😍

[@alysethiel5393]

Why is it so hard to believe that some(2) of these 5 guys could be gay? and why can't they have fallen in love during the time they worked together?

[@sophiaannelise481]

Because they themselves have literally said otherwise. Louis hates larries.

[@panneetantinukul5658]

​@@sophiaannelise481He's forced to do it. Bc Harry can't

[@prunswithfoxes]

It’s not about them being gay. They denied these rumors a lot but y’all don’t listen to them so they’re ignoring you now.

[@panneetantinukul5658]

@@prunswithfoxes They signed many contracts. What would you think?

[@kathleencooper5761]

It's not hard to believe. Harry and/or Louis could both be queer. But they're not together, as they've both made clear. I don't know why larries think them being queer would mean they're together.

[@arrowtotheknee2617]

zayn’s my absolute fave, like he’s literally my favourite artist of all time, but no… harry sells more records. yes zayn has more youtube streams/views than harry, but harry has more on streaming services/album sales.

[@prunswithfoxes]

Nope by streams and sales harry is far the most successful one.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Yeah guys. None of their auditions were great. And Louis’s was pretty poor. My fav! FYI this was just the first round so most who could carry a tune and had decent look/stage presence made it this round. Liam’s was maybe considered boring, but Cry me a River was a jazzy big band huge oldie by Julie London 1955. It was a smart choice for Liam bc he was able to show what he could do Vocally as it has a huge range and is technically extremely difficult to sing. It has been sung by many of the years. Including Michael Bublé, Barbra Streisand, Justin Timberlake etc. the in between 2 yrs for Liam he’d been taking voice lessons and was the only if the 5 you had spent the last year singing in nightclubs, bars and getting use to being on stage! When they formed the band Liam believe it was formed around him and I believe x factor felt the same in beginning. You’ll notice in 1st few live performances! But Harry’s vocal’s and charisma began to stand out quickly. Louis wasn’t given many solos for years and poor Niall with the beautiful voice was often told his voice wasn’t strong enough for the band. In many live performances the boys discovered Niall’s mic was being lowered or shut off. They took turns holding their own mics up for Niall to sing into!
