Week 10 - The final
One Directiion's first performance of the final was a rendition of the Elton John hit, Your Song. The boys then had their dreams fulfilled as they took to the stage for a duet with Robbie Williams!
It was then time for the vote results to be read out, and Cher's departure meant that One Direction joined Matt and Rebecca for the 下一个 part of the final.
Sunday night saw the lads perform their judge house favourite, Torn, but it wasn't enough to save them from the public vote, as they finished 3rd in the competition.

Week 9 - Club Classics
The last club classic of the night was One Direction’s version of the Rihanna’s Only Girl In The World. The lyrics were cleverly altered and, when the song was over, the audience were left wondering whether One Direction might just become the only boy band in the world! Next, the boys turned to Snow Patrol for their ‘Get Me To The Final’ song. 唱歌 Chasing Cars they finished the 显示 in style, with Liam taking lead vocal and Harry taking care of the chorus.

Week 8 - Rock Week
Sang: Summer Of '69 and 你 Are So Beautiful
Judge quote:
"You proved tonight you’re not just another boy band, you’re a brilliant, brilliant vocal group" Louis Walsh
Week 7 - Beatles Night
The One Direction boys sang
All 你 Need Is Love
and put a fresh and funky twist on it for the 年 2010.
In a routine that combined harmonies and ad-libs, Simon’s boys made short work of their most complex performance so far.

"The Fab Five 唱歌 the Fab Four!" Louis Walsh
Week 6 - Elton John
唱歌 Something About The Way 你 Look Tonight, the focus this week was on the lads’ vocals (oh, and maybe just a little bit on their lovely shiny hair and cute smiles). Luckily for them, the boys proved that they don’t just look the part… they sound it too!

“This is the first time in all the years of The X Factor when I genuinely believe a group is gonna win this competition.” Simon Cowell
Week 5 - American Anthems
Last but 由 no means least was a Brian Friedman mega-production, that saw the One Direction boys bop and shimmy their way across a packed stage. Blaring out Kids In America
a
s they zig-zagged past the red-hot cheerleaders, Simon’s lads looked like they were having the time of their lives.
Judge quote:
“That was without question, your best performance 由 a mile.” Simon Cowell
Week 4 - Halloween
Sending hearts across the nation racing, the boys took on a power ballad classic, Total Eclipse of The Heart.
Both the judges and the audience loved the rendition.

“You are a boy band doing exactly what a boy band should do!” Dannii Minogue
Week 3 – Guilty Pleasures
As the lights went down it was just the boys and their mic stands 唱歌 Pink’s ballad Nobody Knows. There were no dancers, no routines, not even any of the enthusiastic shoulder bops that Harry is so keen on.
Judge quote:
"You're my guilty pleasure!" Cheryl Cole
Week 2 – Heroes
Clearly comfortable with their new found heartthrob status, the lads were faced 由 a gaggle of screaming girls as they sang My Life Would Suck Without You.
Their strong vocals and obvious connection had the judges once again hailing them as the boy band of the future and Cheryl beside herself.
Judge quote:
“I can’t even cope with how cute 你 are, seriously! I just want to go up and hug them… in a nice way.” Cheryl Cole
Week 1 – Number 1s
Without gimmicks 或者 backing dancers the One Direction boys let their voices do the talking, gelling together for Viva La Vida with Liam Payne starting and finishing in strong fashion. Cheryl claimed the boys had “all the right ingredients,” whilst Dannii praised them for a “perfect pop band performance.”
Judge quote:
“I 爱情 what 你 did with the song – you’re potentially the 下一个 big boy band,” Louis Walsh
Sunday October 3rd
At the end of bootcamp when the names of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zain Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne were not read out, the teenage boys knew their X Factor ambitions were over.
But when they were recalled to the stage to find out they had been 给 another chance, they realised that their dreams had only just begun!
In a line-up that boasts good looks, strong vocals, and dancing ability, could these lads be the pin-ups of the 下一个 generation?
We think they can!
