One Direction's Complete X Factor Story (Part One - Auditions) | REACTION 

Thank God! Ryan I completely and 1000% have the same exact rant you do about the Larries. And i love somebody finally said it on a live stream. Those boys have tried so many ways to tell them they hate it, the crap said has ruined their actual relationships and for them to please stop. But even it coming out of their own mouths their suppose fan's STILL go yeah yeah we know Louis etc. It's ridiculous. Love love love your rant.

Zayn is second in terms of records, but he hasn’t toured, he had his first live show ever last week

Zayn is right after Harry in terms of records ..even without a single tour

I loved liam's audition the most 😩 can't wait for his second album. In terms of ticket sales: 1) Harry (2 tours) 2) Niall (3 tours) 3) Louis (2 tours) 4) Zayn and liam have never toured so they don't have ticket sales. Stream ranking: 1) Harry with 3 albums 2) Zayn with 4 albums 3) Niall with 3 albums 4) Liam with 1 album 5) Louis with 2 albums

Niall is selling arenas with 10k to 25k, even sometimes 50k people. He's gonna play at Madison Square Garden twice. I was at his show, it was amazing and his voice live sounds so beautiful. He's come so far. Also, I think you would like Zayn's new album. It's a different sound for him.

Liam winked at Cheryl trying to show his confident flirty side, and years later they got together and had their son Bear. I think there's 10 years between them so maybe thats why it didn't last.

Zayn has always had the best vocals out of the 1D boys not saying there not all talented but Zayn is obviously the voice that stands out the most in a good way he is also the 2nd most successful

You guys 😭... In terms numbers, streams and everything it's, 1 . HARRY 2. ZAYN 3.NIALL 4. LIAM 5. LOUIS

zayns first single and album went number 1 he is 2nd in sales but he never toured he just did his first ever show

I think out of all of them Niall and Liam were the most clear on what they wanted going in. It wouldn't really seem that way because of Niall's I guess overall 'carefree' attitude but he was the one who literally taught himself how to play the guitar and he did a lot of performances in pubs and other places before X-factor (there are videos) also I think he genuinely LOVED performing as we have heard from all the boys how he was always singing, playing his guitar and was always surrounded by a crowd during x-factor.

Can't believe Directioners still exist today.

Niall had crazy ambitions but he made it!!! 😂

Niall's audition was so prophetic is so funny))

In terms of record selling Zayn is probably the highest after Harry. Zayn is the only 1D member who has 3 songs with 1 Billion views on RU-vid as solo artist no promotions!!

Ohhh excited for this

you should watch the full versions of their auditions that were uploaded a few years ago! louis and harry both did 2 songs each which made me change my original opinion of those auditions.

I'm so with you about the Larries. It's psychologically fascinating lol.

THANK YOU so much for your sanity concerning the annoying "Larry" conspiracy. People need to grow up.

Cheryl the judge next to Simon later has Liam’s baby!

oh no niall definitely sold more tickets than louis lol and like 10 times more streams.

I'm so nostalgic,when I first discovered Harry (through Niall lol) 4 years ago, I decided to learn his artist's journey in chronological order, these were the comfort videos for me)) I came to see Harry and stayed bc of the band. I think they are so talented and so freaking lucky everything turned out the way it did. Thanks to the band legacy and money, they now have full artistic freedom and it gives us tons of great music. We as their fans fixate on some unimprotant weird stuff sometimes and don't realise how lucky we are to support the artists who a) - love what they do, b) - good at it and c) - CAN AFFORD IT. It's tons of money and connections and these guys have it for life and even manage to make more of those alng the way. It's actual art. Niall is very close second after Harry for me, he's my comfort artist, he sings about sad stuff with hopefull undertone, it's literally antidepressant for me. Louis' music is nostalgia for my rebelious music taste as a teen (though I can't listen to him live, it's too bad). Zayn sounds like some new uncharted music area for me, I've opened more to r'n'b style thanks to him although now his new album is deffo my cuppa tea). I literally love just a couple of songs by him but those few I love on Harry level (as in A LOT😍) Liam is the only one I am not sure about, I think he's not alright tbh. Given all the information that's around, it's no wonder. I hope he'll come to senses though Harry's actual legend, he's on completely another level and I'm still having goosebumps realising how many things could go wrong and I'd never knew his amazing artistry. He resembles all legendary artists I've loved since I was a kid. It sounds as some immence advance for him, and even 1D fans (mostly 1D fans, sadly) roll eyes when they see it. But I just know, he's a one-in-a-generation artist and all his next work will show it. In terms of vibes for me he's the opposite of Niall's tho - even the most cheerful melody contains the undertone of sweet sadness and it pulls you in, it makes every song sound relatable, like it has more layers than it seems. What he does can make people feel uncomfortable sometimes and this is how art should be for me, it should push you a little. Sorry, I've not done these thinkpieces in a while, didn't think I still have it in me lmao

I think it was revealed that they were intentionally looking to form a boy band this season, and that’s why they probably let them through the next round. They saw their charisma and potential for their “project.”

Hope someone asks them for their reaction on 5 of the most memorable moments in 1d history by hey angels. It's full of comedic gems.

The fact that these guys think Zayn is the 4th most successful member of 1D in terms of sales and streams because this channel has been highjacked by Louis fans who are telling them Louis is the 2nd or 3rd most successful member is laughable. What is also laughable is that they think that cos Zayn has never toured as a solo artist, has barely promoted his music in 7 years and has not been seen in public for the last 7 years is amusing. Imagine despite all of that he's the 2nd most successful member of ID behind Harry in terms of sales and streams. Louis is in fact last. Also if Zayn toured the tickets would sell out in seconds as did his recent ONO performance at the 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London

that ranking was actually so funny to watch

so funny what Ryan said about the nda bs)) I used these exact arguments hundreds of times trying to reason with larries couple of years ago when I still thought they can be reasoned with (which they can't). Now they just amuse me and sometimes it gets a little annoying but not enough to get into serious argument anymore. It's like arguing with any other conspiracy theorist, you'll always lose bc you need to use facts and come up wih your own wording for it and they have a beautifully structured memorised story and won't hear anything else)))

I have second hand embarrassment watching their auditions lol

Niall went on to date Katy Perry (very briefly) and Liam dated and has a baby with Cheryl. Its funny how 2 ended up with judges who judged them on the show lol.

Yoh just imagine he fathered a baby with one of the judges

if it was 2024 i don’t think they’ll make it guys 😭

i thought it was gonna be the complete unseen audition, Harry sangs another song before isn´t she lovely

Regarding you loving the one hit wonder Bittersweet Symphony, REN actually does a retake of this song. I think you’d enjoy it!

They were all lucky to get through. I think Liam did the best audition. I love Louis but his audition was terrible. They were all nervous but I felt his. I’m glad I was already a fan when I saw their X Factor journey as I could just go aww and think they’re adorable boys. Seems you’re doing the really long journey. 14 parts… some parts are really long… just saying.

Give us more zayn stuff ❤

If they're auditions would have been way better they probably would haver never been put together

I understand Lou is your favorite and mainly your viewers are Louies ..and I love him too, he is talented..but out of all the boys he is the least successful in numbers

My favorite audition was Niall’s

I think it was all about song choice, but also genre, Harry, Niall sang pop music, Liam was a classic style to show range, zayn E sang r&b which is what he liked , Louis sang indie which is never going to sound right in that setting, but it was the music he liked and listened to Pop and r&b is what is played on the radio, indie is not it is mostly niche as far as radio is concerned.

In fact, Harry sang two songs and the video shows the best one. The other was terrible. He has evolved a lot.

Liam's song is a classic by the great Billie Holliday and he really did it justice, all the boys are the same age as my son, so I had no interest in 1D, I only started catching up after hearing Harry Styles 1st solo single, as an older person I could really see how nervous and immature they were, I went to see Harry last year and his whole show was amazing, the best concert I have been to, I like Niall, Liam and Louis but can't take to Zayn's style, I have listened to his new album because he said he has changed, he hasn't still sounds the same to me, I am going to throw a spanner in the works and ask what is Zayn up to, could this be a sign of a 1D reunion? 🤔🤔x

You guys are far from done😭😭

Louis has the lowest numbers, kinda by a lot too, which is total bullshit. the rest of the boys have had radio hits whereas w/Louis; radio just won’t play his music 🙄

You didnt ask this question guys, but the family that you saw watching Harry's audition backstage were: his Mom Anne, his sister Gemma, his stepfather Robin (now deceased), his Aunt Dee and Uncle Mike (Anne's brother and sister-in-law), and his cousins Ella and Matty (2 of Dee & Mike's kids), They are a VERY close family. Ps - all 5 boys arent gay; just Louis and Harry 😁🤣😛😍

Why is it so hard to believe that some(2) of these 5 guys could be gay? and why can't they have fallen in love during the time they worked together?

Zayn got song reaches 2 billion viewes on youtube harry most viewed song is 1b + so Zayn sells the most in one d accept it or not zayn was the best member not cause you like harry beter than him

Yeah guys. None of their auditions were great. And Louis’s was pretty poor. My fav! FYI this was just the first round so most who could carry a tune and had decent look/stage presence made it this round. Liam’s was maybe considered boring, but Cry me a River was a jazzy big band huge oldie by Julie London 1955. It was a smart choice for Liam bc he was able to show what he could do Vocally as it has a huge range and is technically extremely difficult to sing. It has been sung by many of the years. Including Michael Bublé, Barbra Streisand, Justin Timberlake etc. the in between 2 yrs for Liam he’d been taking voice lessons and was the only if the 5 you had spent the last year singing in nightclubs, bars and getting use to being on stage! When they formed the band Liam believe it was formed around him and I believe x factor felt the same in beginning. You’ll notice in 1st few live performances! But Harry’s vocal’s and charisma began to stand out quickly. Louis wasn’t given many solos for years and poor Niall with the beautiful voice was often told his voice wasn’t strong enough for the band. In many live performances the boys discovered Niall’s mic was being lowered or shut off. They took turns holding their own mics up for Niall to sing into!
