One Direction Review – Carly Davis – 11CHT
After battle-cries from teenage girls scenting hot boy-flesh since 2010,
the 5 dashing lads seem to effortlessly make girls melt, all smiles and chinos.
You would never have guessed that these heart-throbs only came third on The X
Factor!
It's easy to sneer at boy bands and assume they’re all the same, but it
goes without saying, that One Direction are charming, talented, and absolutely
gorgeous. Their catchy number 1 single, "What Makes You Beautiful” is an
undeniably cheerful and melodic song, opening with a simple "na na na na”.
For those who are not familiar with the The X Factor, there is no
official lead singer, but Harry Styles, a phenomenon of wild curly hair, is a
17 year old alpha puppy. When he chats to the crowd, the girly screeches become
overwhelming…enough to shatter any windows nearby.
“What Makes You Beautiful” is an admittedly ridiculously catchy debut
single, which kicks off their album ‘Up All Night’. This song is shortly followed
by their current single, “Gotta Be You”, which is a rather grown-up love ballad
that could’ve been taken straight from a Take That. And talking of mature…The lyrics
to “I wanna stay up all night” certainly have everyone blushing! I doubt very
much that they checked with their mothers about those!
My verdict? They may have been X Factor runners up, but they are definitely
number one in every teenage girl’s eyes! An incredibly upbeat album, full of
toe-tappers and incredibly difficult not to like! ‘Up All Night’ certainly did
not disappoint the dedicated One Directioners!
So…Do you have the One Direction Infection?
