Mullis 1 Tabatha Mullis Mrs. Lee 9th Grade English (4th) 17 May 2018 One Direction Here to Stay Bon Jovi, Metallica, Michael Jackson, and AC/DC: These are all famous musicians that have withstood the test of time. A boy band would not usually be included in such a notable group of musicians like this unless it is NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys. Even so, One Direction is a group that will stand the test of time because they have many fans, they are original, and they have won many awards. In just a short period of time, One Direction has gained many devoted fans that have demonstrated an abundance of love and support. Their many fans range from boy-crazed, social media obsessed fan girls to famous celebrities (including other musicians). Even though the band received boos from the audience at the Video Music Awards after being awarded “Best Song of the Summer”, International Business Times states, “Lady Gaga talked to the boys backstage telling them “I just want to tell you that you deserve every bit of success you have.’” Not only is Lady Gaga a fan but Taylor Swift is too!

Having celebrities love the band and their music is significant to their success. But it is their ordinary fans that have contributed the most to their current success.

Like Jagger, Harry also coined his band's name, One Direction. The band dismally placed third on the X-Factor ("One" 1). In spite of losing, Simon Cowell intelligently signed One Direction to Syco with a deal supposedly worth two million pounds because of the potential he saw in the band. With Cowell's management team, One Direction created their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful", which broke the spell of British boy bands having trouble breaking America ("One" 1). Their debut album, "Up…

hands of people who should not have them” (Gun Control Pros & Cons…). People that want gun control might say that these background checks would not be enough to stop all the shootings, but it is almost the middle of the debate. Anti gun control people would agree with this because it still allows them to buy and get the guns that they want only if they pass their background check.
