Nicole Scherzinger, a guest judge, and Simon Cowell both claim to have come up with the idea of ​​forming a band. In 2013, Cowell said that it took "10 minutes to put them together as a group". Next, the group gathered for two weeks to get to know each other and practice. Styles appear as One Direction. For their qualification song at "jury house", and their first song as a group, One Direction sings an acoustic version of "Torn".

Maps One Direction
Arts
The debut studio album One Direction, Up All Night (2011), is dominated by pop music recordings, containing teen pop elements, dance-pop, pop rock, with electropop and rock influences. Digital Spies Robert Copsey describes this album as "a collection of PG pop rocks with a killer chorus", while The New York Times considers it "full of influenced pop rockers, cheerful and sometimes clever." Jason Lipshutz from Billboard acknowledged that the album showed originality in a voice that was "necessary for the revitalization of the boy band movement". The songs "One Thing" and "What Makes You Beautiful" are popular for pop and pop rock genres, for "powerhouse" guitar riffs and "strong" choruses.
Their second studio album, Take Me Home (2012), is characterized by rock-inheriting pop, leading electric guitar riffs, light syntheses, homogeneous sound and messaging, and Auto-Tune tone correction software. Alexis Petridis of The Guardian interpreted his trademark voice as "spirit, synth-supported taking on the early-80s new wave of pop, heavy on truncated rhythm and chugging guitar," which, he says, is at least an improvement on a replacement R & amp; B "which was once very bleak from boyband." Jon Caramanica, writing at The New York Times, considers the album "far more mechanical" than their debut album, although it notes that it is sonic and lyrically similar. The lyrics of this album talk about falling in love, unrequited love, the insistence that deficiency is what makes a person unique, committed, jealous and longs for significant others in the past.
Erica Futterman for Rolling Stone loves their live acoustic performances as both show, "Horan's ability to play guitar, as well as the amazing live One Direction vocals. No need to worry about backing tracks or vagrants take note, a fun realization on pop shows. " Herald Sun ' s Cameron Adams believes that One Direction has a" strong pop sound. "Melody Lau from National Post wrote," It's so easy to get lost in the fascination attached to their stylish hairstyle and style that is almost too paired but somewhere in the midst of all the love-grief. screams of teenage girls are people who can really sing and, to some extent, entertain. "Jane Stevenson from the Canoe portal site agrees:" What I did not really prepare for myself is that they can all really sing together. "Chris Richards, writing at The Washington Post, disagreed with the agreement: "As five traded copies, it's hard to imagine the future of Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin, or Bobby Brown coming out of the pack. No one stands out. "Mike Wass of Idolator feels One Direction" surprisingly made the effort "of Leon Kings" Use Someone "proves that One Direction" is more than capable "to develop their voice.
Their third album Midnight Memories (2013) is a recording of pop rock, slightly away from the original teen band pop sound. Liam Payne calls Midnight Memories as an album that is "a bit cooler and more edgier" than the previous material. The album is heavily influenced by rock and folk 80 and briefly integrates dubstep elements, especially in "Little White Lies". The lyrics theme of this album mainly revolves around love, broken hearts and sexual relationships. Many critics praised the lyrical depth and composition of the music, as well as the degree of group involvement in the production process.
Their fourth album Four (2014) was released on November 17, 2014. Payne once again claimed that the album would be "edgier" and that the group had written most of the songs for it; Horan came up with the name of the album, commemorating the fact that it was the fourth record of One Direction to date and that it had been four years since the band's formation. Signifying further maturation of their pop sounds, the album's first single, Steal My Girl, was dubbed by Billboard as No You Makes You Beautiful, but the Coldplay-like pop piano could be a good direction, and that the band "is not fully ready to release the days of his chewing gum". Rolling Stone describes the note as "saturated with retro vibrations"; his songs "broke the distinction between huge and furious Eighties rock rock and a more elegant Seventies flavor - a very dandy whipper-snapper movement not so far from what Haim hit Days Are Gone did last year."

Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph, in an article on the success of One Direction in North America, notes that Americans have left a gap in the market and it takes Justin Bieber's edge to show that there is still a market for a "clean cut, healthier, whiter-than-white, middle-class pop friendly parent: cute boys support dogs love And what can be better than one cute boy, if not five? " One Direction has been described as sparking a revival in boy band interest, and as part of a new "British Invasion" in the United States. Bill Werde, representative of Billboard magazine, commented, "There are many possibilities here, there are many advantages, the level of talent with such an appearance, it is really a perfect storm for a massive, successful phenomenon big. "
Sonny Takhar, chief executive officer of Syco Records, attributes this breakthrough to the power of social media. "Sometimes you feel that the song is a star, but it's not like that here - that's the way it is," he said. "This is a real moment." Social media has become a new radio, never breaking global action like this before. " Will Bloomfield, group manager, added, "These people are online, and so are their fans." Their management uses social media teams and all members make their own tweets, "which helps create the illusion that they can not get closer to their fans," according to Caspar Llewellyn Smith, writing for The Guardian. One Direction Twitter account has garnered 10 million followers in February 2013, with accounts earning an average followers of 21,000 per day. In the approach pioneered by The Beatles, each member is known for its features; Horan is "cute", Malik is "quiet and mysterious", Payne is "a wise man", Styles is "charming" and Tomlinson is "the funny". The individual identity of each member is reinforced by their distinctly deliberate personal style. Caroline Watson, the band's original stylist, talked about the styling band, "At first I did not want them all black or all in the skin - that stereotypical boyband stuff as a whole." Instead, the original idea was for them to be "men equivalent to Spice Girls", with each member being part of the group but still having its own style. Horan commented on One Direction as a boy band, "People think that boy bands are grabbing air and dressing in one color.We're a boy in a band.We try to do something different than what people would think is a typical boy band type.We try to do different kinds of music and we are just trying to be ourselves instead of shrill. "Leah Collins, writing for the National Post , states that One Direction has succeeded on the front , "For the most part, it just means the group is showing themselves as typical, silly and uncensored teen boys - posting a YouTube jokey video, for example, or boozing at the awards show."
