wide variation in lower and upper registers for each member is what makes One Direction so successful. Simon Cowell was able to find five voices that each complimented each other uniquely to create complex harmonies that most bands can’t achieve. Because of this, the band has received 281 award nominations in its 5 years, and has won 169 of them. In comparison, 5 Seconds of Summer is a pop-punk band meaning not only does each member play an instrument, there is also a designated lead singer.…
