All I have to say is that I find Harry Styles hot. I like his hair game.

I think he's hot, too. Though what I like most about him is his speaking voice.

I was shocked when I heard him speak. I was fully expecting a squeaky chipmunk voice.
My niece looooooves this band. I should have taken her to a concert : (

There's no reason to announce a break up now (or ever, really) when their fans are expecting them to be doing other stuff for the next few years anyway. Their X Factor contract is just finally expiring.
I'm more interested in Louis' baby drama. Is he really the dad, and will it be born on Harry's birthday?! It's gonna be an interesting few weeks here for their young fans.

I couldn't pick any of them out of a lineup, still don't know who's who other than maybe Harry is the one with the huge hair. I did, however, like "Story of My Life". I wonder which, if any, of them will be the Justin Timberlake of their post group careers?

It's gonna be an interesting few weeks here for their young fans. I'm very interested in this too. The whole pregnancy announcement and behavior since then has shades of TomKat (one of my favorite celeb conspiracy theories) so maybe I'm reaching, but it just doesn't add up to me.

This is one of about three things I know about them and I feel it's been at least a year since the baby drama news broke ;-)

I don't follow 1D too closely apart from occasionally enjoying some of their songs on the radio, but isn't Harry Styles generally regarded as the one most likely to have Timberlake-like solo success?
I'm genuinely curious here what people who follow them more closely would say.

I try to keep my posting in this thread to a minimum so my crazy doesn't come out but SINCE YOU ASKED, fabrichnova Yes, outside the fan base Harry is definitely considered to have the best chance of a solo career. Within it, each of them has a pretty dedicated following (the blessing/curse of being a boy band in the social media age), so the distinction of Harry-everyone else isn't as clear. Liam has the best voice but there's zero character to it--I think if he wanted to act he could do really well in musicals but otherwise I do not see him being distinctive enough to be a solo star. Niall is HUUUUUUGE as an individual in Ireland and also is, after Harry, the most personable so I think he has a decent chance of maintaining a musical career there, especially since he's already accustomed to performing with an instrument. Harry's voice has improved a lot since they started and he's done the most work with other artists so he has the connections there, but he's as bad a performer as the rest of them, just with more charm to cover it up...he would need some intense performance training to be able to pull it off on his own. The fact that Louis has ever made a living ostensibly based on his singing voice actively pisses me off and he seems equally confused by that fact--I think he'll work in producing/intermittent rehab stays, though. Zayn obviously has the stronger survival instinct and will probably be fine; I do think of all of them he had/has the clearest sense of what his solo music would sound like so that can only help him although on the other hand he's really an awful performer--but that will matter less when he's not performing in stadiums like he was with 1D. Okay I'm done.

Okay I'm done. I agree with all of this. Liam has been working with Juicy J and I find this hilarious which probably isn't fair to Liam but I just can't see it. Liam has also surfaced in LA with a giant hand tattoo and again I can't stop giggling at this tougher image and the stories about him rapping and...well, we shall see I guess. Zayn burned a lot of bridges, to me. He was barely going through the motions towards the end and I don't know how he'll promote his solo album (if/when it appears) but maybe he'll have more enthusiasm this time around. I am interested to see what his solo stuff will sound like but his PR approach of slamming 1D confuses me.
