LOUIS WAS AMAZING IN THIS INTERVIEW

[@Ira7x77]

Louis is so well spoken and has good vocabulary. Liam too, btw.

[@cata.fuentes]

Louis is such a beautiful person, like his energy is so pure and sweet. Despite what people say of him being immature you can tell that he is actually the more mature and I feel like he was the one he kept the other boys with their feet on the ground and finally made the band work in the beginnings of it. And the way he describes all of the boys it’s just heart warming

[@vicgonzales9124]

I agree

I love to hear Louis speak. So articulate & insightful❤

[@kat_n_ann2239]

Louis is truly a beautiful creature. He's giving kind of motherly pheromones or something. He's chaismatic in a very warm, soft and caring way. And that smile....god. I also discovered another side of Zayn. I didn't really find him attractive before but after this video I think he's a beautiful person. I like his calm and cute character)

This is probably the best 1D interview I’ve seen - no stupid questions about girls. The boys answered properly. Well done to the interviewer and everyone involved

[@shereeirish6682]

Totally agree, no stupid inappropriate sexual comments/questions. A professional interviewer, he is a bit abrupt,/serious but very professional. Good job New Zealand.

Niall stays quiet in interviews cause he might accidentally cuss & get the whole band in trouble.. But I was shocked to see Zayn talk a lot more than Niall & shocked to see for once that Louis was being serious. 😱

[@luluzinhayamaguchi1D2010]

Pois é,até pensei que Niall não estava presente,aí finalmente mostrou todos os cinco

[@TSWIFTheart]

L O U I S ❤ He's the heart of the band

[@kirstinburke9316]

I really liked this interview since it was very informative and Louis talked a lot in it, usually he is too quiet or joking around too much to speak, at least in the videos I've seen so I really enjoyed this. Though I wish Niall was in it more, didn't even know he was there until they zoomed out and showed them all. :/

[@jazminfisher9506]

He said before that he keeps quiet incase he cusses and gets the rest of the band in trouble

[@kirstinburke9316]

Jazmin Fisher Oh I see, well that's cool.

[@Extrememdp]

This is one of the better interviews I've seen on KZbin of these guys. Informative, straight forward. Niall should've talked more but maybe he wasn't feeling well that day.

[@HoursaDay]

These interviews are always so much better when Zayn gets a chance to speak.

[@leo-ho3ys]

Yes, I hate when people say he never talks, that's not true. He's just very respectful and concerned so even if he is interrupted he will let the other talk. Also you can see in the first years he was really involved in interviews, he only became quieter as his health went worse and worse.

[@nintendoroxmariokar1]

I really liked the interviewer. Quite genuine and friendly

[@x.x.x.x.4102]

Watching this for the first time in 2022 - wow, how honest they were- before they had to go through all those media trainings and coachings. And before they were bothered with stupid questions about their sex life.

Louis is so great in this interview

[@WatchYourAttitude]

"Louis' insured his bum" I see you Harry, I see you!

[@breasims776]

Its fun watching interviews that happend in 2012

[@susanmcavoy9213]

This is one of the best and most honest interview I've seen of the guys yet, they were relaxed not trying to be funny or do a show. Just plain being themselves. I see a definite inflection in Zahn's voice, perhaps from the area he grew up in. I live in New York (U.S.) and in 50 miles you can hear words pronounced nearly 10 different ways depending on where you were from. I absolutely enjoyed it!

[@EmilyJBunny]

This is such a lovely interview. Louis what a doll ❤

[@celinabinkley6978]

But imagine if Zayn became an English teacher... He would’ve gone viral because he’s absolutely gorgeous, one of the most attractive people I’ve ever seen. Harry’s my favorite, with Louis a close second ❤️ But I really love all the boys! I’m so glad to have discovered how amazing they are now, even if I’m a little late 😂

[@OceanChild7]

9:30 - Liam is absolutely right, it just accured to me when I've heard it. I'm a new fan, got to know about them around November-December last year and of course I started from their X Factor journey) What I found really nice and refreshing is that they never told a sad story to get pity votes. They were themselves. There were a few attempts to squeeze a sad story out of them like Zayn's being off tempo and Harry's being sick cuz of stage fright. But it was all filmed like that, it wasn't them participating in the drama of it)) They were like cheerful puppies the whole time, so authentic and so interesting to watch. On top of that they did have great voices. Not the best, I admit, but it was even better cuz ygot to see them grow year by year. They've grown so much they broke the X Factor scale in 2 years and became globally renowned band without any association with that talent show. At some point the show started to live off their success, not the other way around. It's huge. And now just look at these guys, they're all world class stars and it's fully deserved. Now they're officially the only act that got this level of recognition. Little Mix are also big but, frankly, I always heard of 1D (never cared to listen them tho) and I got to know LM only because lots of yt reactors mentioned them in association with 1D, otherwise I wouldn't know they exist tbh. Can't wait for new stuff by them. Last two songs by Niall's and Zayn's collabs were amazing, next up is Liam, then it's Harry's tour... LT2 and NH3 are being cooked... life is good

[@sarahrohde7923]

Louis ❤is a leader, he can joke and be serious when he has to. Its spontaneous confused a lot of people about immaturity. He's not immature, just real. I think he was polished. However, it is amazing how he manages to keep the group strong, united and he is always smiling and praising others.

[@eternaltam]

I'm pretty sure they are still friends, but just don't go out of their way to communicate/interact in front of cameras. Lets not forget that friendships are dynamic and sometimes change. Harry is the youngest and Louis is the oldest, and maybe as they grew up, they had less common interests. Bottom line, I think they are still friends, just not as close as before.

[@amandaf.371]

I literally thought Niall wasn't there until they zoomed out to show all of them. It just makes me wonder... was he okay? At this point, im pretty sure Niall had his braces so it wouldn't have been his teeth, I don't think. If he was resting his voice our something because it night be strained, wouldn't he have been like... wouldn't his voice kinda be like, low or something when he was speaking? It wasn't like that though so that wouldn't have been the case. Did he feel left out? Well, usually even if they weren't asking his questions, he still would have butted into the conversation AT LEAST once during the first 12 minutes of the video, because everyone else was and he does it all the time anyways. Did anyone else wonder if he was okay? I literally thought he was like sick or something until they showed him... but usually the boys would say that he isn't there and tell 'em why. He seemed awfully zones out and kind of upset... I hope I wasn't the only one to notice.

[@dee_1989]

I noticed it in the beginning. Was a shame we didn't get to hear him speak much. He was probably homesick.
