I came through an English Major to One Direction. At first I was a little skeptical because I the typical talent show pabulum à la DSDS awaited me. But already their first single, "What makes you beautiful" taught me a lesson. Instead of the expected love tearjerker, like the first single is common in casting participants score the 5 guys with a joyful uptempo number. The test of the album shows that One Direction know to convince both party hits as well as ballads and also appeal to music fans beyond the 12 years.
