What I still can't believe is the fact that these boys were just normal teenagers who didn't even know each other at all before. But they managed to make their way through the competition against thousands of other talented singers. One Direction was formed and they sound absolutely perfect singing as a group. Look where fate has brought them. Now they've made it, and they deserve it. They deserve everything. I'm so proud of these boys. Thank you, Simon.
I dont understand why 1 D didnt win since theyve got 5 towns of support as compared to the others. The only reason i can think of is the haters voting for someone else. People who dont like boy bands.
What I don't understand is how they got so big (What Makes You Beautiful was not only #1, but fastest selling single, etc, not to mention the success of Up All Night and not only in the UK) so soon afterwards :3 That is what makes no sense to me especially as they were said to be rather 'slow' with having their first single out. So, here they are only getting enough votes for third place and when many months later their first single comes out after of months of silence (except for the X Factor tour of course) suddenly they are superstars. I mean I still enjoy that song, I admit it, but still it's more than surprising I believe. Though, then again just because there are five of them it doesn't mean insteant success - actually groups are usually the first ones out of the competition.
Since my response I've read a lot about the topic and I have the answer - people were fed up with the manipulations of the show which they started calling fiX Factor and especially Simon Cowell. And as a put-together group mentored by Simon himself was the perfect representation of everything they didn't like about the show, they didn't like the boys either. Instead they turned towards Matt in his late twenties with his cap and guitar and Rebecca, the beautiful young single mother - both fitting all too well the pictures what the main voting audience liked :3 Simply, the voting public and the music buying is not the same, hence 1D's after-show success.
They actually address how this happened a lot through the years. There is a very simple answer for this- Social Media. During those months that they were working on that single, the word about them spread from their fans to the entire world. Through social media, something that many of the older boy bands did not have to help them so that's why many were slow in rising, this band conquered the world before they ever released their first single. They were incredibly lucky that they formed at a time like this. Plus their incredible talent and likable personalities fueled the flame and kept them relevant to their fans and the new ones coming on board. They also posted on social media as well. You got to love the 21st century.
Yeah. I suppose you should listen to some of their own singles where you hear all of them. Harry hits his notes beautifully. Zayn does amazing "echoes" and rifs, and Niall, Liam, and Louis are all really great! I do wish that Niall and Louis had more solos in their recent songs, but just found out that in their album, Take Me Home, Niall and Louis both get to start a song and boy am I excited! You can't really judge these performances. They were so young and inexperienced, and still did great!
MG! That's right!!! They love each other! I REALLY LOVE ONE DIRECTION!! Although they didn't won NOW they are famous ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!! Now they win in every Award or EVERITHING!
It doesn't really make sense how One Direction only came in 3rd place. Not saying that they're better than Matt & Rebecca, but it just doesn't seem possible since One Direction has like 5x's the fans because there's 5 of them.
Simon Cowell was pretty much losing after the live show 4 and had to depend on 1D to win but getting 3rd place was amazing and they became the biggest group ever!
it's quite ironic how they performed in the order the came in the show. like how matt cardle won, and was first. cher lloyd was last unfortunately, but she's still amazing
Yeah, I don't get how 1D didn't win either. It's not just that there were 5 towns voting, but Niall had a whole country. Now that Mary was out of the competition, Niall was the last person in the comp from Ireland. I guess it had something to do with them being a boy band. Like some people couldn't get past that fact and judge them on their incredible talent rather than what kind of group they were. Or maybe it was because of the controversies this season. I have to admit also that 1D was up against some incredible talent as well. They all were pretty much on even ground. And maybe in this season there were more older voters than ever before that leaned more toward Rebecca and Matt. Also, I'm pretty sure that not everyone in those 4 towns and 1 country voted for 1D, even though they were from those places. All I have to say is that I'm pretty sure the top three were very close in the vote counts. I wonder how much the winner won by anyway, and the runner up. I bet it wasn't by much.
One Direction never sing without echo and lots of background choire or music. And the frontman really messed up that last note. That sucks indeed that everybody sucks up to Simon.
@scarla14 i thought this too tho i do like them .. that's why i think this show was fixed besides matt's number to vote ended in 01, rebbeca's in 02 , one direction in 03, and cher in 04.. 1D does have a larger fan base than matt it will be like with lee deWayze or how ever he is called.. 1D will become more famous than matt... well that's my opinion
Harry has a great voice, BUT he is always messing up the high notes when he attempts the "voice gymnastics", it puts me off a little, Zain does that better,with his mellow "echoes"... And Liam just has a delicious professional polished voice. Niall is also realy good. Would still love to hear Louis sings,otherwise i hope he is content with his "non leading position" coz it would make ME very uncomfortable in the group #Just-saying. OTHERWISE, I think the Boys(OD) are adorable.
Harry: "Just a small taste of what our lives could be like"
Believe me, it's REALLY small because you made it big
Filipa Tavares I’m so proud of them 😭
you know you are a true directioner when you still see this in 2020
Rewatching for the 10 year anniversary! Still gets me in the feels 10 years later! 😂❤️
Honestly 🥺❤️❤️
2021
Harry with his mum had me crying
"That is just a small taste of what our lives could be like" oh hazza just you wait
During One Direction's song the volume goes up but when they finish it goes way down because of the girls screaming.
What I still can't believe is the fact that these boys were just normal teenagers who didn't even know each other at all before. But they managed to make their way through the competition against thousands of other talented singers. One Direction was formed and they sound absolutely perfect singing as a group. Look where fate has brought them. Now they've made it, and they deserve it. They deserve everything. I'm so proud of these boys. Thank you, Simon.
I just watch this because of one direction. I love them!!
OMG 6:13 Super fetus Harry with fetus Niall ahaha
Its mullingar, not Dublin, Simon.
643. only harry brave enough to show this side
To be fair, Louis is from a very different background than the others... He may not be comfortable sharing that
"...Famous you'll become you'll be always my baby..."
We all are Anne💚
Doesn't matter how much they grow up, they'll be always ours babies💕
6:13 Niall is holding one of Harry's past photos.
I dont understand why 1 D didnt win since theyve got 5 towns of support as compared to the others. The only reason i can think of is the haters voting for someone else. People who dont like boy bands.
Same but look at them now :) They beat the Beatles, have over 40 million fans, and are the biggest boyband in the world

Shireen Natalie Dean.... Yah but now THEY LITTERLY TOOK OVER THE WORLD! best selling x factor contestant
aw.. that's so sweet, harry and his mom.. :">
Niall's eyes are so beautiful! And so is he! Lots of Love Nialler! and to the rest of the boys as well, you all are beautiful!
when they went home i was like
oh boys this is just the start...
"That was beautiful Harry"
Awww Harry is such a momma's boy!
That stage in Doncaster was where Louis played Danny in Grease :)
I can't believe they went from this to selling out msg and performing tonight :') So proud right now!
Lol at Louis old school there was a sign saying "Liam is a sexy beast"
Yeah. I suppose you should listen to some of their own singles where you hear all of them. Harry hits his notes beautifully. Zayn does amazing "echoes" and rifs, and Niall, Liam, and Louis are all really great!

MG! That's right!!! They love each other! I REALLY LOVE ONE DIRECTION!! Although they didn't won NOW they are famous ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!! Now they win in every Award or EVERITHING!
I love the way Louis said "Oh my God..!"
hes so happy 6:15 this is how they started this is where v\they became brothers!!
I'm crying, I really miss One Direction😭💙💙
I love the way Zayn said 'Oh My God!' xD
i started to cry, i love u 1D
Even though One Direction didn't win they became more famous than the winner(:
Rebecca looks so beautiful in that dress. Oh man. She is so perfect.
Looks like she's wearing the inside of a casket. It's ugly.
I would really love to hear Rebecca sing "Never Can Say Goodbye" !!! I don't know why, but I feel her voice would be perfect for it...
There is no "frontman" and there never has and never will be.
Yes Simon we bet its been a absolute pleasure you only created one of the best boybands eeevvvveeerrr!!!!
not even out of the show yet and they are already doing gigs and having girls chase after their cars! 1D are incredible
10:10 his smile;)
The video before 1Dperformed made me cry. :'l
i know it's been over a year since this was over, but i find it really hard to fight the urge to text in to vote for one direction.
i completly agree. i've never heard of any of the x factor winners but i know every one of one direction's songs!
Cheryl almos cry :') i love her
Hearing all these people making predictions that actually happened is so bizarre but so cool.
6:13 niall!!! hahaha
Watching on december 2017♡
8:10 simon and the boys!!!
It doesn't really make sense how One Direction only came in 3rd place. Not saying that they're better than Matt & Rebecca, but it just doesn't seem possible since One Direction has like 5x's the fans because there's 5 of them.
omg the snow falling when one direction sings though.
Simon Cowell was pretty much losing after the live show 4 and had to depend on 1D to win but getting 3rd place was amazing and they became the biggest group ever!
it's quite ironic how they performed in the order the came in the show. like how matt cardle won, and was first. cher lloyd was last unfortunately, but she's still amazing

and i am still seeing this in 2020
It’s crazy how people in 2012 used to think 2010 had been ages ago. Here we are in 2020 now.
Did anyone else notice that Simon said that Niall was from Dublin? Isn't he from Mullingar?
@LovelyChaos95 they do..i did not even know who matt was before i watched this and i came here because of 1D!!! :)they rock dont they
hah dermot and rebecca's reaction to her biggest fans...priceless xD
ONE DIRECTION = ANGEL ♥!
Yeah, I don't get how 1D didn't win either. It's not just that there were 5 towns voting, but Niall had a whole country.

No Dublin, Simon! Mullingar :P
haha they think that signing is crazy... boys look how fking big you are now! xx
One Direction never sing without echo and lots of background choire or music. And the frontman really messed up that last note. That sucks indeed that everybody sucks up to Simon.
he was said the bigger cities instead
his name's harry
OMG rebeca made Loui and Simon to agree on something! :)
@scarla14 i thought this too tho i do like them .. that's why i think this show was fixed besides matt's number to vote ended in 01, rebbeca's in 02 , one direction in 03, and cher in 04.. 1D does have a larger fan base than matt it will be like with lee deWayze or how ever he is called.. 1D will become more famous than matt... well that's my opinion
@traumaditaccea he used to eat a lot of bread crums..bread crums make your hair curly seriously i am not joking
@traumaditaccea He could have gotten it from his dad since the man with his mom is his stepdad
awwww 6:15
LMAO WTF is Coleen Rooney doing here???!!!!
Simon was putty in their hands he became soft
