One Direction practically overnight conquered the music industry after coming together while filming The X Factor. Harry Styles’ drastic measures to deal with the stress are understandable given that the members of One Direction went from being unknown to renowned essentially overnight.
Zayn Malik reportedly felt so anxious about his The X Factor audition that he almost skipped it before he joined One Direction. Given how unsettling being in the spotlight can be, it makes total sense that Niall Horan felt jealous of his bandmates as a result of the pressure he experienced.
Before most musicians or ensembles become well-known, they usually spend years perfecting their skill in obscurity. The band members can forge the ties necessary to help them withstand the rigours of success during that stage of their careers.
The members of One Direction were still getting to know one another when they rose to fame as one of the most well-known musical groups in the world. It is understandable that there would have been a lot of conflict inside One Direction given the pressure they were under and their short-lived relationships.
The fact that One Direction’s members didn’t select one another was another disadvantage. One Direction didn’t come about because their personalities clicked, but rather because they were thrown together while competing on The X Factor.
One Direction seemed to have been doomed from the beginning, given how they came to be. After all, being thrown into a cunning industry like music sounds like a prescription for failure without the alliances and complementary personalities to help weather the storm.
One Direction went on a break that might become permanent after Zayn Malik departed the band after they become a global sensation. Given One Direction’s ultimate demise, numerous reports concerning the former band centre on disputes and other issues involving its members.
Even while those tales are fascinating, Niall Horan’s revelation regarding his time spent with the band may be more fascinating. Finding out what Horan was experiencing would seem to be far more intriguing at the height of the group’s success since it is very revealing of what being in a boy band can be like.
Horan discussed his experience of being a solo star in a 2019 interview with The Telegraph. Horan admitted in the interview that he was quite envious of several of his bandmates in One Direction’s early years.
Boy bands, as most people are already aware, frequently feature some members more prominently than others. Backstreet Boys members Brian Littrell and Nick Carter were the lead singers for NSYNC, with Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez contributing the most vocals.
One Direction put some of its members in front of the others in a manner similar to those two illustrious boy bands. Harry Styles and Zayn Malik were frequently heard singing on One Direction singles.
When One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” was recorded, Niall Horan didn’t even sing a single line solo. Instead, Horan solely sang during the part of the song where the group was harmonizing.
