One Direction - is this a legit new threat wrt to a new boy band invasion? y/n

We have a "Hit Music" station and a "Star" station in the city where I live. Looks like it's #43 on the former and not in the top 100 on the latter.

so what's this movie like, is anyone going to go see it

i didn't go see the justin bieber movie or the katy perry one either

these movies are all 'recent concert footage interspersed with adorable home movies of the performers singing as little kids' right?

Why can't we have another spiceworld is what I'd like to know

you want Elvis Costello in a One Direction movie?

Idk itvwas a pretty fun movie! As brit films of the nulab era go I like it more than oh trainspotting

YES spiceworld is kind of wonderful

Gabriel Agbonlahor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taking Out Twats is What This LAD does.

Gabriel Imuetinyan "Gabby" Agbonlahor (born 13 October 1986) is an English footballer of Nigerian-Scottish heritage who plays for Aston Villa and also an arsehole for hurting our louis

A spew-inducing reducer. Beautiful.

Shame that guy's knee joint only works in one direction.

:D

I am privileged to have witnessed this first hand. Also, he runs like a girl.

he must be in the bottom 5 players to have donned the hoops in your time, surely

idk there ought to be some unwritten rule that random slebs in a charity football game are not to be treated the same as (ex)professionals or targeted for bantz inducing comedy violence

although im sure having spent a year in chemotherapy stiliyan petrov appreciated watching an emaciated dude being sick in front of him

the camera angle just doesn't seem to show the impact.

agbonlahor had 3 different women pregnant at the same time when aged 20 or something iirc, he's not known for reserve

he must be in the bottom 5 players to have donned the hoops in your time, surely

Right down there with Gerard Butler, aye.

I can't find a good YouTube version to embed or anything but "Diana" off their new album is a jam.

It is! A couple of the "rock" numbers are astonishingly confident; somebody's been listening to Def Leppard.

Yeah, some of them are a bit too reverent of the source material they're pulling from, but it's an interesting new approach from a band known for uptempo glossy power-pop and they mostly pull it off. Seems a few of current young popstars have one eye keenly on the rock acts of yesteryear between this album, Ke$ha's LP last year, and most of Demi Lovato's first two albums.

one track -- I forget which -- is the male version of Ke$ha's "Gold Trans Am," not like the world needed it.

Though "Diana" is still the "uptempo glossy power-pop" that Greer speaks of but it's pretty much the second best thing they've done in this vein (behind "Kiss You", of course).

completely behind this

directioners otm

Thank you for reading, and justice for all!

this is either inadvertently genius or a tip-off that it's a gag

love this

on their nico & vinz wave i'm down

lovely

'midnight memories' is a seriously phenomenal album, it makes me emotional

when the night is coming down on you
we will find a way through the dark

maybe this is a wikipedia prank but if not...

6. "Our Girls"
Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Good Charlotte
7. "Little Rebels"
Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, John Legend
8. "Fire"
Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, 1975
9. "Feel This"
Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Fall Out Boy

almost definitely a well put-together fake tracklist, but they have been confirmed to be writing with all of those artists

"just can't let her go" was a leaked demo from before 'midnight memories' so severely doubt there's any truth to the song titles

This album is the Pyromania of boy band pop

i am surprised to like this preview track as much as i do, wouldn't be surprised if the radio singles are nothing like it tho

their last big radio hit featured harry nilsson on guitar

kinda liked "fireproof" better but not bad

The piano bit reminds me of something I can't put my finger on.

Faithfully by Journey?

That's it!

Even if this never gets better than its opening chords that is still pretty great.

What would this be?

Blasting in the student union common area as I type.

Here we go again.

No way, Steal My Girl is the lazy Journey rip off single...Fireproof is the Only The Fans Know How Good One Direction Really Are should-have-been single.

Like other people said earlier in the thread

"Fireproof" is very good but I'm not sure how it's less derivative. At least journey ripoffs are the one thing 1D does that no other comparable group does. Whereas the "we play this in the middle section of the set on stools and one member playing acoustic guitar" songs are kind of a standard boyband maneuver aren't they? Even when done very well?
