All Eyes in One Direction

I must admit that I have never been one to fall in love with bands or celebrities. The only concert I have ever attended was performed by Beyonce back in 2008. I swore, at that moment, that I would never line up again for hours to buy tickets, only to spend a whole concert standing just to get a two inch high glimpse of someone. 

So readers, please forgive me for not quite understanding the hysteria surrounding the latest boy band One Direction. Over the last week, television screens have been bombarded with images of screaming girls all pining to become the next Mrs Zayn Malik or Mrs Liam Payne. And yes, I did have to look those names up!

Sure they are cute, have nice hair, lots of money and can pump out a tune but are they really worth all thy hype? To me, the kind of behaviour their fans, albeit mainly girls, engage in is downright bizarre and fruitless. If I see one more teenage girl cry on TV, I think I might scream.  

Maybe I'm just getting too old! Mind you, I have embarrassingly found myself belting out their single What Makes You Beautiful more than once... But let’s keep that secret on the down-low.
