The Audition That Made Them FAMOUS!

[@slassos236]

The part where Callum turns around to hug his sister shows how great their love for each other is and how caring and thoughtful he is. Their mom crying was touching. He was amazing!!

[@sdowns8302]

He is cute, humble, and of course I really love him

Totally lacking if you don't have Jonathan and Charlotte. Their UK audition combined with the international versions makes it the most viewed audition ever. Charlotte is now a successful actress in musical theater at the West End in London which was her dream! And Jonathan just released his 7th album (5th solo), plus he tours the world. He totally rocked an audience of 30 thousand at "Carols in the Domain" in Sydney, Australia last December with his rendition of "Oh Holy Night."

Of all the one direction band, only Liam Payne had take one on the audition. He should have gone solo after BGT. Perhaps, his story could have turned differently. To be compared with Michael B, was already a sign of his talent

[@lorettamonroe9029]

That was Liam 2nd audition on X factor

[@svetlanarajcetic2173]

Generally speaking, most child stars struggle with mental health hence looking for an escape in addiction. Even if he made it on his own, I believe his fate wouldn't be much different. In the band, he had other guys at least so the understanding for the burden was there. Have a look at some of the most famous child stars and where are they now and you will see a clear pattern. Stardom is not for kids without adequate support. The biggest issue is people working within the showbiz don't see them as kids/teens but rather piggy banks and money makers.

[@normalivella9375]

[@connieoshea]

Simon Cowell was really the ultimate driving force behind One Direction, however at the 2010 auditions it really was Nicole Scherzinger who played the biggest role in putting them together as a group, with the only input from Louis Walsh being (keep in mind that these alleged paraphrased quotations were long after saying no to Harry Styles, both during and after the phenomenon that became One Direction and their disbandment shortly after Zayn Malik’s departure): “They might all have the winning package of looking great, all the girls will be mad after them, but they’ll all end up thinking that they're going to be great solo artists. They won’t. Most of them will believe all the hype from - publicists, agents, managers - and the record company (Syco) will be far too afraid to admit that none of them can sing because of all the money they’re currently making from them. The truth is, none of them sound good on their own, but then neither did any of the Spice Girls and look how far they all went on to become versus their arch-rivals All Saints i.e. “the Spice Girls who could actually sing”. Not only did the Spice Girls succeed as a 90s female pop supergroup, but some of their solo careers even took off majorly as well. I mean look at Geri Halliwell, she couldn’t sing for toffee, but her persona earned her three or four number one singles and a load of awards.”

“Louis Tomlinson isn’t a singing sensation either, which is why Simon made him a panellist on The X Factor, in fact all of One Direction got rejected as standalone artists. No one cares about how dire their voices are because showbiz is really only about the business and Simon Cowell made a whole lotta money off them boys. To be fair to their fans though, it’s not their voices they buy, it’s them as a group that’s their unique selling point, not their vocals because they’d be absolutely nothing by themselves.”

“However, a bit like Leona Lewis, All Saints lacked any IT Factor, because whatever IT is, the Spice Girls had. Unfortunately it’s all about style over substance, which is why Leona Lewis is STILL arguably the UK X Factor’s best winning stories owing 100% to just her phenomenal voice, but that was all the way back in 2006 and even with a voice that could rival Whitney Houston, unfortunately Leona has less of a personality than a table, which is why she’s a virtual non-entity nearly 20 years later.
