None of the One Direction boys has any star power individually. I'm not even sure how they had any together

did they though? i was so confused by their appeal. they just bopped around on stage, did they even dance or anything? lol

They had to be huge since I heard of them outside of ONTD without any teenyboppers around me to educate me on the nuances of pop groups

[richyrich909]

oh i know they were huge, i was just confused about their appeal lol

They benefited from those early bts videos during X Factor days where they could be charming and their interactions could be funny. Teen girls felt they knew them

[richyrich909]

Aaah that makes sense!!! Cos when I first saw them perform somewhere I was like “these are your Kings ?!!!!!” 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂

No! And they didn't really sing either.

I honestly think it was just a vacuum in the teen boy band for girls niche and they filled it. They could have been anyone really.

this is a logical explanation

[rubie_dubidoux]

I mean isn't that how they became a group? none of them were good enough to make it on their own?

I do think though, in theory, that not having individual star power is probably a key ingredient to a successful group - less ego in the way. having one star shine much brighter than the others is a recipe for resentment.
