to love one direction?

[BelieveinWigan]

I just do.... Even my kids think its strange

C=Each to their own wink You're absolutely right. I've been a fan of some right old shite in my day

I don't believe for a minute that they write they own songs. They may co-write them but we all know what that means. Like 'em if you want but great musicians they are not!

No, they don't write their own songs.

Thank you cushtiw

So, one musician and no song writers. it's not looking too good on the talent front.

Sparklingbrook their talent is being good looking . They are too young to do anything for me though. I'm sure I'd be a fan if I were 14.

Advert for their film

Ooh right. Well their career could be quite short lived then.

love the advert....

They'll get about three years out of it I'd say.

the original and best

I can understand the appeal to young girls,didn't we all have posters of someone on our bedroom walls back in the day.

I mean plenty of girls I went to school with worshipped the Bay City Rollers.

I don't think talent had much to do with it.

I love one direction. I am 33 and my musical tastes vary... from biffy clyro to guns and roses to Calvin Harris and all the way back again.

Yeah it's cheesy pop but nothing wrong with cheesy pop.

Sparkling - back in the day I would have scratched your eyes out for that....Spandau all the way.

Nooo Nancy. SB didn't have the God that is John Taylor.

Cheesy pop has its place.

Nowt wrong with a good sing a long to a pop tune on the radio.

No harm in liking them. You like who you like, each to their own and all that. I'm sure there are plenty of others out there who love them but won't admit to it.

I currently have a girl crush on Ellie Goulding mind. Love her new single, and the video. And it's No1.

I think they're nice looking likeable enough lads, their music is catchy and I would be probably really into them if I were 13. I don't see why they get so much criticism.

I'm not exactly all for the X-Factor hit factory either and am not keen on the show, but people think they're so fucking superior at times when they are disdainful about commercial music.

Spandau had the Kemp brothers - two hunks for the price of one.

I mean I liked New Kids on the Block FFS when I was 13. They were fucking atrocious compared with One Direction.

Not my personal taste but I think they sing well, have been to a live concert thanks to DD1 and they sing very well. They are good to their fans and I don't dislike them, and like some of their songs.

...their music is catchy...

To be fair, though, it's not their music, is it?

Well it doesn't really matter does it?

Plenty of 'credible' singers have songs written for them.

I think it's a bit weird if you find them attractive, they look like boys .
