ONE DIRECTION

One Direction was formed on July 23rd 2010 after the five boys had individually auditioned and the judges felt that they would be

stronger as a group. One Direction made it to the finals where they finished in third place. Their first album was entitled “Up All Night” with their released singles being “What Makes You Beautiful”, “One

Thing” and “Gotta Be You”. Their most recent album is entitled “Take Me Home” and their first single released is called “Live

While We’re Young” and they just released a song entitled “Little Things” (it’s a ballad). The album itself is to be released on

November 13th 2012. Liam takes the role as “First Verse Man” as he usually starts off the song.

Liam tried out for the X-Factor in 2008 when he was 14 and made it to the judge’s house but was cut from the show. He then tried out

again in 2010 and he made it into boot camp, where Simon Cowell and the judges put him in a group with Zayn, Harry, Louis and

Niall.
