Items from the collab are extremely rare as they were only available in Japan. A plush of any of the boys is definitely a holy grail item for me but I imagine they would sell for an extortionate amount.

Rumours+Tabloids 📓 Does anyone remember that One Direction show Liam didn’t attend?

36 Upvotes

Does anyone else remember a One Direction show where Liam was absent? I remember finding it really strange at the time because he didn’t show up, and there weren’t many details about what had happened or why he wasn’t there.

I don’t know if he ever talked about it publicly after the band ended, but I’ve always wondered what actually happened. Looking back, especially after hearing him talk about his struggles with addiction, I can’t help but wonder if there might have been a connection.

Does anyone remember which show this was or know if there was ever a proper explanation?

How crazy that they put a 14 year old under the topic of sexy guys ? like I know it was aimed at the teen fans but I still think that's wild!

Also I'm going to try and look for more older content of the guys, so just for future reference would it make more sense for me to post solo stuff like this in this subreddit or should I use their individual subreddits?

Liam ❤️ Not me having to navigate grief with my 4yo

178 Upvotes

I’ve been a 1D fan since the X Factor.
I still listen to them daily honestly.

My 4yo naturally loves them too. His favorite “movie” is the best song ever music video.
I caught him in his room with his dinosaurs going “so I said to her. Angelina. I want to. I really really want to.” 🤣🤣

Today he asked me if liam can just visit and sing with his friends again (he stumbled on some news when watching music videos a few weeks ago. And he is very smart. Nothing gets by him)
So I told him that’s not how it works.
And he said “because Heaven is a really long drive?”
So I said “yeah something like that. He won’t be able to sing with his friends again, but we can still listen to their music and be happy”

Yall he was bawling.

How do I go about this
There is no manual for when your 4yo’s favorite boy band member dies (2 years ago?)

🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭

It’s not funny. But it kinda is. But it’s not.
I know if Liam heard about it he would probably think it’s so cute.

Anyway. Yall pray for me.

He’s currently singing “if I could fly” with his voice cracking in the next room. He said, and I quote, “it matches my emotions best.”

Alright little dude.

Discussion One Direction resurrections on boybands.

15 Upvotes

Ever since One Direction came to the spotlight, they had these new boybands andd their fans thinking they actually have a shot. The Vamps were like 1D & Jonas Brothers had a baby, but they didn't have the worldwide success like the boys did. When 1d were an active band, Kpop was underground to the U.S. audience. Simon Cowell signed another boyband, PrettyMuch but they didn't live the same hype and expectation as 1D did. When the group went on hiatus, BTS and other K-pop groups took over the pop industry. Now records label are forming new boybands from the U.S. & U.K. Even Liam was a mentor to Soulidified on Building the Band before his death. The boys were in this together and then they were gone...

Discussion 1D weren't lying about Night Changes

193 Upvotes

When they said, "Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes?" hits different now if you think about it. It's been a decade since One Direction was an active band and that verse has a new meaning, we're all getting older, the boys are getting older and the boys solo careers are evolving. But the sad part though is Liam's no longer with us and the fandom is divided now. I know most of us would do anything to go back to the things that it was before.

Question 🤔 What's a 1D video/ interview that you would want to watch completely unedited

15 Upvotes

​

For being it's the video of them at the back of the van while in Brazil

Unedited interviews are good too but I feel like they HAVE to put on a face ya know? The Van video is funny because it's literally just them and Ben who the know won't hold anything they say against them

Question 🤔 Teenage Dirtbag

57 Upvotes

Does anyone know why they skip the second verse in their Teenage Dirtbag cover? I feel like it’s prob bc of the whole “her boyfriends a dick, and he brings a gun to school” not being exactly appropriate for their audience. Or is it just cut from the video? I think their version is miles better than the original but I’ve always wondered why they don’t sing the second verse

Harry 💚 Kiss All the time, Disco Occasionally

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a Harrie and a Directioner. I really love HS1, HS2, and HS3, but I don’t find this album as good. Am I the only one who thinks so?

At times, it sounds dull and meaningless to me, to the point that I don’t feel like listening to it on repeat. His other albums had such good lyrics with so much depth. I also feel like he doesn’t express himself as clearly as Taylor Swift does. Her songs clearly convey the feelings and situations they’re about. They’re also very catchy, which makes them easy to remember, sing along to, and play on repeat.

What do you guys think?

I don’t know about you but I’m very sad this is no longer happening. It would have been so fun to see these old friends reconnect, especially after the loss of Liam. I can’t imagine how successful this would have been, every 1D fan former & current was looking forward to this.

Discussion Teenage Dirtbag cover on Stairs LOST MEDIA?!?!?!

19 Upvotes

Hey guys!

So, I'm trying to find a cover One Direction did of Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus but I'm literally LOSING MY MIND. I remember vividly that they covered the song on the stairs of the X Factor house, Niall played the guitar. I think it was practice for when they did it on the show?

I don't think it was in a video diary, I went through all of them and couldn't find them. I've been trying to look on other parts of the internet/youtube and I'm coming short. Am I crazy or was this just taken down or is it some type of lost media. I remember the cover very vividly LOL

I recently saw the teaser for Florence Road's new song and it's literally the lead singer just jumping around in KISCO merch...makes you think we literally all just raised by these boys😭
