Probably not.

I just watched their performance back and it really was excellent. Vocals were very good

They're all very good looking young lads, so I think they'd have that advantage anyway, but George just has that thing that inspires thousands on tumblr and twitter to go gaga for him!

Louis adding him was a genius move

I had no idea he's the most popular member , the original Triple J was already quite popular so probably yes they would be just as popular.

The Harry clone? Hell no they wouldn't, that's why he was put there in the first place. Which says a lot about the voting demographic, that they're so easily swayed by a haircut.

No, it was a very clever move of them to add him.

One Direction would definitely be popular without Harry, a big part of their appeal is that theyre ALL hot and appeal to different types of guy-lovers. Harry doesnt do anything for me :P

As for Union J, maybe? Hard to tell, GS does lift them as a whole in the 'looks' category though.

That thing is his likeness to Harry Styles, nothing else.

Totally agree with this.

George isn't even the guy all the girls are talking about, it's just who the show want to make the face of the band. It's all about Josh

I think the one I like is called JJ but no idea what his actual name is. George looks like cotton candy! Sweet but no substance.

This definitely. They wouldn't have gotten past bootcamp without George.

It's unbelievable just how popular George is! I'd say he's more popular than Harry+Aston's fangirls combined! IMO, Josh is the better looking one

George's audition was great, but put him in a band and his voice just doesn't gel with the others. You can hear it during both of their performances!

I agree with this, I would have thought that Josh would be considered the better looking one. Didnt realise that all the talk was about George

However, I do think its is different for 1Direction and that Harry is the standout member and would be very much missed if he wasnt in the band.

It happens in a lot of bands i.e. Beyonce, Cheryl C, Robbie. They were the standout members that went on to be very successful outside of their original bands and were missed, in one way of another.

If you go back to the audition stage when he performed on his own he seemed poplar with thw audience so, looks wise, he'd probably have got votes on his own if he made it to judges houses and then onwards to the shows. But music wise I think he benifits from the added vocals of the other guys and to me it seems that two of the other guys are better singers than him anyway so, the real question is, do Union J even need him.

I don't understand at all why girls are going crazy for him

It seems that nowadays, girls are attracted to guys who are as feminine-looking as possible

I don't buy this. One Direction are popular because of Harry and Zayn. The others are completely forgettable. There is no way they'd be as popular, or even together without those two.

As for George from Union J, he has Harry Styles' hair but is otherwise a tad creepy.

He has over 7.4 million followers on twitter? because that is what Harry has.
