what i like about simon is if he feeeels like something’s right with them he takes action. thus putting groups he made to the map because there really is something with them.

[@brennakesterson23]

EDIT: Sorry in advance for the long response, I just feel as though you brought up something that is important. I agree 1000%. I have heard that the reason people are on his back is because of the way he treated them. Like I said, this is just what I have heard, but I do not know a whole lot of specifics other than he was very controlling and kind of took away a lot of freedom that they should’ve had, even regarding the boys’ personalities. But once again, this may or may not be true, it is just what I have heard. Regardless he really does have a “sixth sense” like you said. Had he not gone with his heart, the boys would not have had all of the success that they have worked so hard for and achieved. I also want to give credit to the other X Factor judges. They also played a role in putting the band together. Thank you for putting this comment out there. While Simon may or may not have made some of the best decisions along the way, he also made some of the most important, life-changing, and significant decisions. That needs to be recognized. When someone makes a poor choice, a lot of people tend to dwell on it because of drama. You pointed out something positive. Thank you again. Much love. Also, RIP to Liam. He will always be in our hearts and prayers to friends and family.

That was not Harry's mother on the phone. It was Cher Lloyd.

[@CatherineOceguera]

@@jamiecastronova8282why would he asks Cher for a phone

[@jamiecastronova8282]

@@CatherineOceguera Because when Cher Lloyd was put through to the live shows, she called the boys on Harry's phone, (which was aired on live TV). Harry was holding the phone in his hand on speaker so everybody could hear her announce that she had made it through. At first, the boy's had no reaction. Then she told the boys come on. You could do better than that, GO NUTS. Of course, then the boys all started jumping all over each other and Harry's phone got knocked out of his hand and was broken. When the boys were put through, they returned the call to Cher to share their news with her. Harry was joking with Cher when he told her she had to buy him a new phone because It was her fault his phone got broken. Nowhere in this video did it show or mention Harry's mother. It is the Larrie's who are saying that. They were like oh, Louis told Harry's mum he loved her. When in reality, Louis was flirting with a 17-year-old girl when she said she wishes she was there to snug them and Louis responded, "Oh yeah." It makes more sense that Louis would have been talking to Cher, not his new bandmates mother that he didn't even know.

Harry saying that they’re ready for their lives to change and then their lives did change so quickly 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@jamiecastronova8282]

22:31 Pay attention to Zayn's body language while Harry is saying that. Zayn was slightly shaken his head no. Zayn never wanted to change. He never wanted to fake his relationships. He only did it for Harry because Harry was led to believe that the public would not accept them, and Harry convinced Zayn of the same. But then Harry said, "It's not the same As It Was." That then gave Zayn the freedom to say, "Take me for What I Am." By the way, 'What I Am' mirror's 'As It Was'. (WIA🪞AIW 👀). 'As It Was' was Harry's first single released off of his album Harry's House and 'What I Am' was Zayn's first single release off of his album Room Under The Stairs. In Harry's House there's a Room Under The Stairs. It's called a CLOSET. Harry's artwork for the cover of HH depicts a room turned upside down. But don't worry, Zayn's artwork for the cover of his albums RUTS depicts a blueprint of a new home being built. They are building a home they can share together. They are turning that space (closet) under the stairs into a MUSIC STUDIO. 🖤💛💕💚

World isn’t the same without them together 💔

I had my fingers crossed during Simon's speech like I didn't already know that they had been through to the live shows 😅 keep releasing unseen footage, X-Factor UK, please and thank you

[@audreyhiggans6778]

Oh my gosh. I cried right along with them. They're all so young and cute and SO professional. It makes me want to go and watch everything all over again. Sigh. I just LOVE them and their songs are on my commute playlist and always will be ❤️

So emotional coming back to watch this today. Seeing Liam’s passion is truly inspiring. Missing you dearly everyday Liam, we love you ❤

[@jasmijndejongHS]

Everybody once again say thank you Nicole

[@jamiecastronova8282]

Nicole may have chose the boys but Simon is the one that backed them financially. Simon is the one with all the connections in the industry, which got the boys to where they needed to be. Simon is the creator of the X-Factor show. Without Simon there would have never been a 1D. He gave the boy to start.

13 years later, still performing as solo artists and a world of fans who still love them both individually and as a band just as much now as the day they got put together. These boys have come so far! So incredibly proud of them ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dani.hana97]

Watching this I see the 2023 men that these boys have become and it makes me so proud and emotional. Like they didn’t know that this was the start of something so incredible

[@maryellis293]

To think that these boys stopped performing together as a group at the end of 2015 and this post is getting all this attention now is amazing. They still have the most dedicated fans who hope that one day, they will get back together and give us the most brilliant concert ever. They grew together so much as a group but they have all proved how phenomenal they are as individuals - which is quite unique.

it’s crazy to think of the full circle moment of louis being on x factor to then becoming a judge!! 13 incredible years ❤

[@mercyorbit9351]

“We really do need him.” Hands up if you love Louis!

[@edoardonuvolone9392]

I think i never saw harry, liam and zayn crying for joy. This is so awsome

[@CristinaDreamsAndCrafts]

Watching this, today, again, hits soo different. I actually cried.. I think they had the most beautiful time of their lives in this period, I feel so weird because they were so happy😢. I'm thinking that everyone needs to live their live as much as possible, because we are young, and this age would never come back. Live your life! Have the courage to do the things that you love and be kind. Rip Liam 🤍🕊️ we love you so much ❤

[@Druski233]

Rest in peace liam…i miss you everyday 🕊️

[@xidontcarex]

They actually worked their ass off and that pays back. I'm so proud of them.

[@alyssanjau]

IM GONNA CRY. they are literal babies here. its so hard to fathom that at some point this was real. they have come so far and im so proud of them. thank you for this footage! 🤍🙏🏾

[@rinsangirenthlei67]

I hoped they all looked back and realize how much they wanted this and reunite once and for all
