One Direction are a British boy band, formed in 2010 on the UK TV talent show X Factor. The bands members (Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan) all auditioned for the show as solo members but didnt quite make the grade. However, the X Factor judges could still see potential in all of them, so asked them to return as a group, which they did. They may not have won that competition (that honour went to solo artist Matt Cardle) but they have gone on to becomethe most successful act from that years show, by a long shot. It was Harry Styles that came up with the name One Direction, once the band had been asked to get togetherto remain in the show. Along with the other groups, Diva Fever, Belle Amie and F.Y.D., One Direction had Simon Cowell as their mentor on the show. Within four weeks, they were the last of Cowells acts still in the contest. Eventually, they finished in third place behind the winner, Matt Cardle and runner up, Rebecca Ferguson. Not long after the show had ended, it was announced that the band had signed to Simon Cowells label; Syco for a reported £2 million.
