They may as well just have 4 members in One Direction

    Yes. But he's still my second favourite member (after Harry :p) because he is hilarious! He is actually quite popular because of the videos and interviews and I think he plays a bigger role in the band than people think.

    He's the comedian- he takes the lead in behind the scene VT's-

    this is incredibly important to the success of One Direction- almost more important that the vocal performances- it is a carefully nuanced role

    It may seem likes he's miming- but that's only because the vocals are almost too good to be true- nobody in One Direction mimes though:(- they are a better vocal harmony group than Boys to Men

    It should be a duo. Harry and Liam.

    Suppose you could say that about Take That too.

    5 piece but not all can sing.

    That would be pretty hilarious given that Harry is incapable of singing. :o

    The only members of 1 Direction that actually have a point are Liam (Sings!), Niall (Sings!) and Zayn (Shouldn't Sing! But Does Sing!). The others are just there to make up the numbers. ;)

    Has anyone noticed that Zain has been a parrot for most of the competition. He usually just repeats what the others have just sung, with added "Oooooh, yeah".

    I was watching back the judges house audition and it looked like he was just moving his mouth and no words were coming out

    Exactly he's the group leader, he keeps the others entertained, he is good in the interview sections and he looks after Harry.

    He got a couple of solos.

    Plus without him all the video diaries and videos in general on the x factor website would be utter Sh!te. He has more personality than the other 4 put together and probably everyone else in the show apart from Aiden who like Louis seems wonderfully slightly bonkers.

    If one member should be struk out it should be either Zain... or Niall IMO

    Which is such a shame as he is the best singer in the group!

    Apparently he plays amazing piano and has written arrangements for the boys - at least three of them can sight-read music.

    Where did you hear that? I do remember one of them saying they could play the piano and I also think he is shown with a guitar once too!

    Perhaps they should go the whole hog, forget about the pretence of any vocal talent and just do a remakes of the Keystone Cop movies...

    I always think that the one who doesn't get many solo's is Harry. I quite like Louis voice.

    to be honest i think the best singer is liam, but the thing that annoys me about one direction is how they're not really a proper band - as in, they never sing harmony, they all just sing the melody all the time, and the backing track does the harmonies for them....
    i think if one week they actually came out and stood still and sang a slow ballad then that would show whether they were atually good or not.. cos right now its just 5 good-looking guys jumping up and down on stage singing the main melody line.

    They aren't and that's the reason they don't...

    None of them seem capable of holding a tune and they can't sing in time with each other or the music - all of which make harmonies impossible. The producers aren't stupid and do their level best to cover up just how utterly appalling one dire boyband are, but they can't work miracles.
