One Direction

One Direction is a British band made up of 5 teenage boys named Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson. The group became famous due to the popular British show "The X Factor."This band is known as the typical boy band that has one good hit and becomes famous because of their "good looks" and "sexy accents." But in all reality, the band has ONE GOOD SONG. And I don't even know what the word "good" can be based upon. It's definitely considered bad if it's compared to a classic hit from The Beatles or Michael Jackson. The song that is popular today and is put on the radio three times every hour and has number one on the charts for months, is the song, "What Makes You Beautiful." 


The chorus is as follows, " Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell. You don't know oh oh, You don't know you're beautiful!"

Whoever the song is dedicated too now pretty much knows that she's beautiful and the whole purpose of the song is ruined. Needless to say I just think the song is so cheesy and very boy-bandish which is why I don't understand how it was number one in the charts. The band is supported by millions of teenage girls with One Direction posters all over their rooms and some little tiny hope in them that makes them think they'll marry one of them, maybe even two. 

One Direction reminds me of the Jonas Brothers and I was a HUGE Jonas Brother fan. So I do understand where this is going and why it's even going, but not even the Jonas Brothers were played on radios such as Y100 as much as these guys are!! Because of One Direction I'll never be insecure ever again and no one will wonder what for, because I light up the world like nobody else (only me).
