[audreygil_]

In the 2nd performance- Why is no one talking about how happy Niall looks?!😭💞💞

It is so interesting how the X-factor really tried to put Liam out there as the Frontman. And then the actual general public got to seen them all and they picked Harry as the favorite/frontman of the group because he always stood out as the one with the charisma and showmanship. Now here we are all these years later and he is the one with the huge career and the rest have varying degrees of success but not are even close to his comercial success

[nataliealvarez]

i love how the song could literally be about death or heartbreak or just sadness and louis would still be there like
