From what I understand, it was in this interview: http://www.qthemusic.com/3439/someon...our-new-issue/

But I only read the extract on the unlinkable website http ://www.un realitytv.co.uk/showbiz/paolo-nutini-defends-one-directions-zayn-malik-thinks-miley-cyrus-real-evil/

Quote:
“One Direction have won themselves yet another celebrity supporter, this time in the form of singer songwriter Paolo Nutini.
Just yesterday we reported that pension aged singer Cliff Richard is a big fan of the band and would be open to a collaboration of sorts, after he makes his own bid to crack America of course.

Now Paolo has spoken out in defence of the X Factor stars, saying that people should stop obsessing over Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik’s drug scandal, which erupted after they videoed themselves smoking what appeared to be a joint in Peru and then later, somehow, the video was leaked to the Mail Online.
As the band take to the stage in Amsterdam – where no doubt management will be keeping a very close eye on the members in question – Nutini defended the Little Things singers saying that Miley Cyrus simulating sex and performing in a barely there leotard is much worse than anything One Direction have ever gotten up to.

He clearly is not such a fan of the Wrecking Ball singer, especially not since she deviated so far from her Hannah Montana roots and asked Q Magazine: ‘Is that all right? Is that f***ing cool? And One Direction can’t have a joint? They’re the bad role models? Come on!’

It turns out that Paolo is a marijuana user and he told the publication that he has smoked weed every day since his teenage years. The star thinks it’s time for the world to ‘get to grips’ with the Class B drug and start seeing it as nothing worse than alcohol, which is legal.”

Sweet of him, although I don't agree with his stand on legalisation of weed.

I do feel for the boys, people need to lay off now. It's happened, it's done, not the biggest deal.

He needs to change his attitude, sometimes acts like he is embarrassed to be associated with them. Not contributing much to the last album was politics alright.”

I think a few of us were surprised because we thought the 4th album was at the recording stage. It could feel a bit disjointed if the songs are not only being written by separate teams (with diff sounds) but also at different times. At the start of the year Louis and Liam seemed to have made a lot of progress, showing their stuff to other people in studios, bragging about it on twitter etc. McFly and Naughty Boy have talked about recording their 1D songs. Obviously there are still quite a few months before the album needs to be finished so new songs can come along, but in terms of lead single that will come out in less than 3 months and they are very busy. I'd rather they give us an album of 12-14 songs with a distinct, cohesive sound than a second Midnight Memories mixtape (which i do really like).

I like some of Ed Sheeran's album songs but he would give his drippiest ballads to 1D. Lyrically/thematically he's not all there yet - there's a lot of 'you're nice but i'm so busy with my jetset life'. If he's going to write a new song for 1D he should do it with Harry really, they're great friends and Harry must have a good feel for what works in a stadium. I can't imagine Niall and Ed would spend time locked in a studio discussing relationships nowadays

I don't think they're getting much criticism for the drugs video anymore. What they are getting is criticism of their stage performances, which is fair. Interviews in monthly magazines like Q will have been done several weeks ago so we'll get a few more and then it will be done with.

I actually think One Direction have been treated fairly mildly by the media. A lot of the slagging off they get from certain papers/sites is from people who hate pop music and manufactured acts, but no worse than other pop groups. On some occasions it helps them when people who don't like the band correct basic errors (like them being rich stage school kids, zero vocal talent). There are a lot of "I'm not a fan but" and "to be fair..." on DS 1D articles. What's really helped is that Justin Bieber is soooo much worse lol.

What you've stated here is simply your own preference. I like Naughty boy, but I can appreciate not everyone does, at the same time I'm not sure I want him writing or recording with 1D, it could be too much of a deviation from their sound. Pharell would be an excellent Producer in my opinion, he has worked with quite a few boybands and pop acts like Britney Spears.

I agreed with Chris Martin about why 1D works, great pop songs, nothing heavy. They need to mature, but it shouldn't be drastic.

The same goes for their merchandise, people should remember that the core of their fanbase is made up of little girls. They will not be little forever.

A 12 year old 1D fan in 2010 is now 16, 13 year old 4 years ago, will be 17 this year. The fans are growing with the boys. The changes happen gradually. They are not going to be releasing books with pictures of them smoking weed in the very near future, that will be a career killer.

I actually deleted my Ed Sheeran comment, didn't think it was fair.

I understood where your first comment was coming from because of Ed's wording.

In an interview, Ed said that he would be open to writing with the boys, just not the 5 of them together because he doesn't think that it's productive to be this numerous to pen a song (I am paraphrasing). I don't think he minds the association, maybe his choice of words can be understood a certain way, but I think he likes the boys.

I don't know if the rumour about Niall & Ellie Goulding is true, but Ed's behaviour leads me to believe Niall wasn't the "guy".

This is an interview with Naughty Boy where he talked about working with 1D.
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/en...-30364825.html
I've written a song for them with Emeli Sande and Zayn, and they are going to record that. I think it's Simon's favourite song as well, so I've been told". The 29-year-old producer added: "I think with this album, they can afford to be a bit more grown-up and more mature. They're boys turning into men so it's a good time for Naughty Boy to put a stamp on their sound. It's not a crazy step away from what you'd expect from One Direction but it's subtle enough."

So he has written a song with Zayn for One Direction. That's one song we know has been written and is planned to be recorded for 1D. McFly have at least one more. Not to say these will make the album but if Simon likes a song and the other boys do it probably will. I don't adore all the stuff on Naughty Boy's album (inc. La La La) but his work with Emeli Sande and a band called Chasing Grace show he can work across genres. And he knows what to do with a voice like Zayn's (this song is gorgeous). I think he may turn out to be the British Pharrell and I am interested by what he means by putting his stamp on their sound, even if it's just one song.

Personally I believe the Bunetta team have worked their magic and the boys should move on. They already changed up their sound on MM - any fans who only like bubblegum / power pop will have gone by November. If anything, Naughty Boy would bring them back into pop from the stadium-rock of songs like Alive and Midnight Memories. His songs get very good radioplay which is what 1D need from the next album.

Really? I get the opposite feeling than you lol. I doubt Justin Bieber would want Niall round his house again after Niall's Nandos date with Selena. That Irish charm

http://www.sugarscape.com/main-topic...ection-i-worke - Think thats the interview there, he says he would do it one on one with each of them but 5 together would be too much

http://www.mtv.com/news/1706862/one-...lbum-finished/ - And it kind of goes with what he said the last time saying he didn't get the call and he was busy on his album anyway so maybe that was the ''politics'' part of it that Warner wanted him to focus on himself and his album plus I think they shouldnt try recreate what Little Things did as that was nearly 2 years ago maybe go for a different style

I dont know too much about that but didnt niall tweet something about not believing rumours when people speculated who the song was about? Plus Ed not saying who its about gets the song a good amount of attention which is good as its apparently his next single. And id rather they all stay away from Bieber for now too

Sorry ! That was probably me didnt mean to be negative is unlike me ! Just thought with Liam saying there were very few co writes on the new album it got me confused but am sure they are the cash cows of the label so at this stage there is no way they will let them flop music wise

No need to apologize Lol. You were not the only one either. Lol. I just think we need to have a bit more faith in them. I totally agree that one day they will not be as popular as now but don't think we're anyway near that day yet. Even when the hype does die down they could be like Backstreet Boys and still have sell out tours after 20 years as a group. They could also decide they want to retire young and live off their earnings. I wouldn't blame them if they did that. Who knows. We just need to enjoy them and keep supporting them like we all do.

True. Dispite what people say weed is harmful. It messes with you psychologically. let's hope they don't do it all the time.

I was the one who posted about the news, and I was surprised & wondering about Simon's "sudden" involvement.... Though I have to admit we have no clue about the writing & album making process in general since the interviews don't focus all that much on that.
I wish we'd hear more about that aspect of things, I know the boys' involvement was minimal at first, but I'd love to know how things are going now.

I am not very concerned, I agree that the label will do what's best for the next album (so that it's up to fans/people's expectatons). I am just wondering what went down with Ed (politics?) and how far along they are in the crafting of the next album.

Niall not a happy boy tonight. A fan threw an object on stage and hit him on the knee he had an operation (thought to be a shoe). He was struggling to walk and apparently blood was seen.

He tweeted to ask people to be careful what they throw in stage and followed up with a tweet saying he is scared.

Poor Niall. There's pictures of him with Blood coming out of his knee on Twitter. He was so polite on twitter like he didn't want to offend anyone. If it were me id go on Twitter and tell these silly girls to stop fecking throwing things. What's wrong with them?

It is brainless. I had a little rant in Twitter about it as people defending the girl saying she didn't mean to. Heck, I taught my son from a toddler you don't throw things as it's dangerous! Flowers, cuddly toys etc fine. Shoes etc damn stupid.

If it had been Liam he would have shouted at them on Twitter

Harry was also hit in the head with something, not far from his left eye.

They are far too polite about things like that because the younger silly girls get all offended like he's having ago at them all rather than just the people doing it.

I remember Liam told girls to stop calling his hotel room and putting the phone down as he wanted to sleep. Then some of the fans worldwide who were not even in tne same city as them went into meltdown on Twitter like he was being horrible to them personally. They just need to grow up.

I think Simon oversees everything regarding their career. Even though they co wrote a lot of Midnight Memories he still would have had the final say in what songs make the cut etc.

Too many have no manners, you wouldn't do these things to anyone else, so why to the boys? I like to see Liam have a go on Twitter, someone has got to put their foot down. It's like kids, make excuses for them and the behaviour gets worse.

They need to wake up to the fact they are ordinary boys who need to feel safe, get sleep and not constantly mobbed.
