How One Direction’s ‘X Factor’ Audition Songs Compare to the Solo Directions They Took
Liam Payne has completed the One Direction solo career puzzle, dropping his debut single “Strip That Down” Friday (May 19).
The 23-year-old’s song has a thumping beat that is much different than the poppy earworms he was part of in 1D — not to mention a feature from a rapper, Migos’ Quavo. Another song “Strip That Down” is worlds away from is “Cry Me A River,” the Frank Sinatra tune Liam auditioned with on X Factor in 2010 that ultimately landed him in the beloved boy band.
That striking difference got us thinking: How do the rest of the One Direction boys’ audition songs compare to the tracks they’ve released as solo artists?
We went back seven years and revisited all five members’ auditions, checking out what kind of similar (or complete opposite) vibes they brought with their solo stuff. (Funnily enough, two of the mop-headed boys were compared to Justin Bieber in their auditions, a comparison no one would make now.) Take a look at our analysis below, and listen to the original audition videos as well as the guys’ individual debut singles to see what you think.
