One Direction are Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. All five boys auditioned for the UK X Factor as solo artists. However, at the suggestion of Simon Cowell and guest judge Nicole Scherzinger they joined forces as a group, quickly becoming one of the competition"s most popular acts of all time, finishing in the final three and garnering a gigantic and loyal fan-base along the way. Stand out tracks on their debut album, Up All Night, include the first single "What Makes You Beautiful", the pulsating pop/rock "Tell Me A Lie" written by Kelly Clarkson and "Gotta Be You", an emotive and heartfelt ballad with lush strings, soaring harmonies and an indelible melody. The epically anthemic "One Thing" is another hit-in-waiting: "More Than This", a beautiful and melodic smash, has the boys distinctive vocals sounding stronger than ever.
