Why One Direction are better than The Beatles
by Polly Hudson, Daily Mirror 30/09/20111 THE Beatles have never been on X Factor.
True, But a band with talent of the Beatles would not have to appear on the xfactor to be famous, plus the xfactor never existed years back when the Beatles were starting out...
2 THE Beatles might have produced a few alright songs, but they also foisted some right howlers on us, like that walrus rubbish.
One Direction’s entire back catalogue is, unarguably, a totally perfect body of work. (OK, they’ve only released one single so far but it is REALLY GOOD.)
A year from now the people from one direction will have lost all their fame and fortune, will have been scraped by their supporters and be signed on the dole like all the other xfactor contestants from the past shows...
3 ONE Direction only became a band after Nicole Scherzinger suggested it on the show.
The Beatles became a band without input from any of the Pussycat Dolls. Tedious.
The Beatles created their own success and worked for years to make a name for themselves, one direction have not had to work at anything to become who they are...
4 THE Beatles rushed to deliver their first album, bashing out ten of the fourteen tracks in just one day.
One Direction have spent nearly a whole year on their debut, so it’s obvious which will be the superior recording.
Times have changed and recording sessions use to cost a lot more many years ago and some of the best songs have been written in the heat of the moment...
5 WHEN One Direction are apart they always text and tweet “I miss you” to each other. The Beatles didn’t even like each other enough to stay together.
The Beatles created the music they did because of the dynamic of the group they are still the best band of the past and there records still sell today...
6 ONE Direction call Simon Cowell “Uncle Simon.” John Lennon never even met Simon Cowell!
The meeting with a celebrity like john Lennon and a small time record producer back then would have been a waste of time and John Lennon was killed in the 1980's so i don't think they will be meeting anytime soon...
7 THE Beatles tried other names like Johnny and the Moondogs, Long John and The Beetles and The Silver Beatles before becoming The Beatles. One Direction have always had one direction about being called One Direction.
Oh WOW how very original, the name of the band is one direction, ask someone who one direction is in a few years time and you might hear that person say: "who are they then, oh year that band that made a few songs"
8 ONE Direction’s Zayn went out with Rebecca Ferguson, who is much classier than Cynthia Lennon. During X Factor, Harry, Liam and Zayn were all linked to the same girl, and this could potentially have ripped the band apart. In other words, Cher Lloyd is their Yoko. Amazing.
Shame they didn't just split up during the xfactor then you wouldn't have written this pointless article...
9 THE Beatles were famous for their hair. Yet, no Beatle had better hair than Harry Styles, right.
The Beatles defined a era in pop culture and were icons of their time, Harry Styles hair belongs on a dog...
10 ONE Direction are the ambassadors for Pokemon. The selfish old Beatles were only ever ambassadors for themselves.
WOW One direction promote a craze that was cool nearly 10years or so ago, The beatles were embassadors for the history of music and have inspired thousands of people around the globe with their music and have a following of people spanning every age gap...
How anybody can slate the beatles like she has done should look at the facts before writting such a slap dash article that has not many interesting facts and has as much useful infomation as a chocolate teapot...the comment made by Polly Hudson are her views and she is entitled to her point of view but when you write an article about a band like THE BEATLES that has changed the world as much as they have done you have to see that people can take your points of view as a broken and one minded look at the past and comparing it with the future and present day and this does not work as time is always different and you can not compare 2 things as easy as you have portrayed in this article...
Thanks for reading...
