George in Union J
Whose decision was it to put George in Union J? The producers or the other guys' ?
Strangely enough, I liked them more when they were three, like when they started. George seems sweet, but he's not a strong singer is he, it seems sort of pointless to have him there (except for the girl votes maybe )

He is their most popular member, though. It was a good decision.

I don't get the point of him at all. I can only imagine it was to make them different to the other generic 3 piece boyband.
IMO, he adds nothing and looks totally out of place. |

It would have been the producers and/or Louis' idea (possibly after a Cowell telephone directive). I can't imagine why the then Triple J would request George join them.
He would be added to visually give them a 'Harry', but he doesn't have Harry's cheeky personality, or his soulful/more contemporary-sounding voice, which basically underpins the 1D sound. This androgynous lad just stands there sweetly grinning, holding a guitar, and his voice does not blend with the others' at all. |

If it wasn't for George Union J wouldn't even have a fanbase.

George makes them more appealing to the younger girls- without him, the band looks a lot older.

I just don't get him. He can't sing and he is rather creepy looking.

He's definitely the most popular member of the band.

I don't like either group - but it seems to me that District 3 fans feel extremely threatened by Union J for some odd reason.

i always assumed George was added to make the group different from the other one, both having 3 members. Personally I don't think he 'fits' but can understand why it was done. Even without him, I think they're still a better looking group than District 3.

Yeah he's just a Harry Styles lookalike. There's definitely something about Harry.

If you think George who is a very handsome lad looks creepy then I must look like Quasimodo!!
![]() ![]() He is creepy. It's partly those strange teeth. He looks like a sinister puppet. |

He looks a little like a girl version of Frodo from the Lord of the Rings movie.
![]() Nothing wrong with that though.

Grace Dent on Twitter said he looked like a Victorian ghost girl, which I think is a fairly accurate description.
![]() I think he's quite sweet looking, to be honest; very soft and feminine. Not a bad thing, just an observation. He changes the overall aesthetic of the group and adds a bit of interest that might not have been there if they'd gone through as a trio. |
