We think it’s about time you lift that rock that you’re living under and take a couple minutes to get to know British-Irish boy band/international sensation One Direction. Comprising Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson (collect ’em all!), these five singers were a product of the seventh season of the “The X Factor U.K.” But instead of trying to gain Simon Cowell’s approval, these dudes have moved on to bigger and better things — like breaking records with their debut album, Up All Night, the fastest-selling debut album on the U.K. album charts in 2011. The album’s hit single “What Makes You Beautiful” garnered the boys the coveted Best British Single statue at the 2012 Brit Awards, and none of these guys can even rent a car in the States yet. Yeah, WE KNOW.

We sat down with the five guys to discuss their impending superstardom and what the ride to the top has been like so far. We even have a couple live and acoustic performances for you to drool over. (Sorry you can’t tape videos to your Trapper Keeper.) As for what everyone wants to know — what One Direction thinks of Simon Cowell — the boys kept it very diplomatic: “[Simon Cowell] basically told us that he wanted us to be the group that we wanted to be… right down to our styling to the sound of our music… It needs to be authentic.” Great advice, Simon. The dudes also said that they still go to him for “queries,” which is the adorable English way of saying “questions.”

You may know me from my two 1D sites One-Direction.Net and Niall-Horan.Com.

I also own Josh-Hutcherson.Com and Victoria-Justice.Org.

Tons of pictures to upload, so stay tuned xx

Hey guys!
I am well aware that most of you visit the site for latest videos, photos and news and I am so sorry that you haven’t been able to find them here lately.
It’s because I don’t have internet at home and half of the websites are blocked in school and the co-owners don’t have time. Therefore I’d like to say, the photos should be uploaded sometime next week, and as soon as my internet is back, I will have a suprise for you.
Secondly, I’m aware that the form for the giveaway doesn’t work, however I can’t replace it, so you’d just have to go over and email me the answers.

Thank you guys!

The lads may be having a ball as they take the US by storm, but Harry has revealed they are missing their home comforts.

Video will appear here shortly.One Direction are living the high life at the moment as they continue to take the US by storm, taking first and second place in the iTunes album chart with Up All Night, and causing chaos wherever they go as crowds of screaming girls go wild for the heartthrobs – 1DMania.

Although Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson are clearly relishing the incredible reaction Stateside, Harry has admitted they are missing the home comforts of Britain, especially Sunday dinner.

Through the One Direction Twitter account, the 18-year-old wrote: “Hi guys!! We all want a Roast!!! Can’t wait to see you all at home.. -Harry .x” Awww, see UK girlies, they do still love us after all!

Keen to keep his US fans onside, he later added: “Thanks for your support on ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ head over to iTunes to buy it if you haven’t got it…it not too bad! -Harry .x”

Harry is determined not to alienate himself from the rest of the group and doesn’t want to be singled out as the leader – with recent reports suggesting that was the case.

One source, said to be close to the curly-haired teen, told Star magazine: “Harry is quite insulted by these reports. He says he is in no way big-headed that that his ego is not getting out of control.

“He is still very much one of the five boys, and considers them to be a team above all.”

They certainly are a team and life for the young stars could be about to get even better as they are tipped to become the first UK band to enter the US album chart at number one, with Up All Night estimated to sell between 160,000 and 180,000 copies in its first week, according to Music Week.
