Last month, Liam claimed that Simon Cowell erected One Direction around him as the group leader– to a veritably mixed response from 1D suckers, including Lizzo.
It was the claim heard and batted and disputed around One Direction audience until” The X Factor” set the record straight with unreleased footage for the boy band’s 12th anniversary.
Everyone knows that the five members of the drive group were put together on the 2010 edition of” The X Factor” in the UK, going on to a third place finish before getting inked by Simon Cowell and getting the biggest thing in the world.
What they did not know was exactly what went down in that deliberation room when the judges were deciding what to do with all the rivals they had and deciding which of them should move forward and which of them to cut.
This was the first season that they’d made the surprise decision to combine single rivals into a group right there on the show. The ballot would find analogous success with girl groups Little Mix and in the US, Fifth Harmony.
On a podcast appearance with Logan Paul last month, Liam Payne made the lofty claim that One Direction was actually formed around him as part of a pledge Simon had made him two times prior.
When he was 14, Liam auditioned for the show’s fifth season, but was told by SImon that he did not feel the youthful songster was ready yet. Two times latterly, he came back and tried again and set up himself fitted into this boy group.
Liam said that he would promised to” make this work for you,” pertaining to the show. incontinently, however, 1D suckers were skeptical of the claim, at best. Some were downright hostile.
Indeed Lizzo, who’s an admitted addict of the group, was not buying it. In a TikTok response, she said,” I do not know who prevaricated to that poor boy, but he wasn’t the frontman.”
In Liam’s defense, he did not relatively claim that, just that the group was formed around him. So is that true? Well, the videotape appears to tell the taie. Released for the group’s anniversary, it’s not clear if it was dropped to put verity and environment to Liam’s claims.
In the clip, it actually looks like it was guest tutor Nicole Scherzinger who started the ball rolling with this idea of combining some of the manly rivals into a group. And she did not start with Liam. rather, it was Niall Horan’s picture she separated from the others.
Louis Walsh also noted they also liked Harry Styles, with Nicole suggesting he be put with Niall. From there, Louis Tomlinson was added and Nicole declared them” the cutest boy band ever.” In other words, it clearly looks like Nicole was the one pushing the idea of the show creating a boy group.
