One Direction- What Makes You Beautiful Review

One Direction- What Makes You Beautiful

One of the runners up from X Factor 2010, young, fun boy band One Direction have got a new single ‘What Makes You Beautiful’. (Release 11^th September 2011)

The beginning of the song is the intro to ‘Summer Loving’ from the film Greece. I think it fitted in with the rest of the song really well.

The much loved band filmed the video for this song in LA on a beautiful sunny beach, directed by John Urbano.

Whilst filming the video Niall (1/5 of the band) almost got arrested for joyriding the orange caravan which is shown several times in the video, because he didn’t have a licence!

Also there’s a very intense scene when Harry sings close up to one of the girls in the video, I can tell hundreds of teenage girls across the nation were jealous at that point, I know I was!

The 5 teenage heart-throbs Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn also appeared on ‘The Alan Carr Show’ recently and proved they had come a long way since X Factor. No, I don’t mean they’d become sophisticated adults, but Zayn who on the show refused to dance in the boot camp session, actually had a dance off with Alan Carr! But on a serious note, they really have improved since the show, their voices, I think, are amazing.

I really like their fashion sense most of them going for the cool, suave look, t-shirts and chino’s, but Louis went all out there with his stripy top and bright red jeans. I loved his bravery that outfit wouldn’t suit many people, but it totally worked for him. On the subject of fashion, Liam went from his straight silky locks to the wavy rough look, personally I preferred the look before but this isn’t bad at all.

This video wasn’t your typical boy band kind of thing, which I like, they used a lot of unique aspects such as the sparklers on one scene and the orange caravan and singing whilst standing in the sea, I think that gave the video more of a bright happy vibe too.

I really love this song and think they’re doing a great job and can’t wait till they release an album; I’ll be first in the queue to buy it! They’re so young and different and have such an amazing career ahead of them, I think they’ve all grown more confident and I love this song, I remember the first time I heard it I had my own private dance session in my room!
