Am I the only one who can't stand One Direction?

[Aloelle]

There are just SO many things about them that irritate me.

They didn't work to get famous. They were manufactured on the X Factor (they each used to be solo) and didn't even WIN. They came THIRD. But they still got signed because of "cuteness".

Their talent is below average. The fact that none of them made it through X Factor as solo artists is proof enough. And they sound dreadful in their live performances (that is, when they're not lip syncing).

They don't write or even co write any of their own music.

They're overrated. I was watching the teen choice awards last night and they were being mentioned EVERY 5 SECONDS on the red carpet show. It's as if their management pay whoever they can to promote them on national TV.

They're unoriginal. Their 3D movie is a rip off of Justin Bieber and Katy Perry's ones. And all of their songs sound the same, just LISTEN to the instrumental version on youtube and you'll find out for yourself.

They ignore their fans. Other than at meet and greets, they avoid meeting "directioners" at all costs. I've seen various accounts of girls who were waiting outside their hotels for hours and got ignored. They also rub their relationships in their fans faces by tweeting unnecessary lovey dovey things to their girlfriends. And they never interact with their fans on twitter.

Their "good boy" images. Over the past few years, the guys have got involved in quite a bit of trouble, such as Harry peeing on the floor of a nightclub, one night stands, swearing at fans, getting drunk, smoking weed, and more. Yet it's rarely publicised, and they are made out to be these perfect church esque boys who can do no wrong....

And other than Zayn, I'm sorry but they're not attractive.

Yet it seems as if the entire world loves them.
