Louis Tomlinson isn’t a fan of one One Direction song<\/p>\n
Louis Tomlinson never “enjoyed” performing One Direction’s debut single.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old singer shot to fame when he was put in the boyband after auditioning for The X Factor and while the group’s first song, What Makes You Beautiful, was a huge hit around the world, Louis admitted singing it was always a “challenge”.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Capital FM, Louis said when asked which song he most hated performing: \u201cMaybe some people wouldn\u2019t answer this, but I\u2019m not sure there was a single time I performed One Direction\u2019s What Makes You Beautiful and enjoyed it. That always felt like a bit of a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis – who was joined in the group by Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne – revealed one of his favourite 1D songs was never released.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI think we wrote it for the last One Direction record album or the one before…I think it got leaked, actually \u2014 it was a song called Where We Are.<\/p>\n
“I always really, really loved that song. I was fighting for that song to make the record. It never did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis recently admitted he doesn’t think he can ever “accept” Liam’s death after his former bandmate passed away in October 2024 after falling from a hotel balcony.<\/p>\n
He told The Independent: “It’s something I’ll never really accept. I don’t think.”<\/p>\n
And Louis praised Liam as the “most vital” member of the band – which went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016, following the departure of Zayn in 2015 – because the late star was already a seasoned performer.<\/p>\n
Louis explained: “He’d already played at half time [at Molineux, at a Wolverhampton Wanderers game], we’d done s***** school shows.<\/p>\n
: In between him playing that role and also doing a huge chunk of the songwriting … it’s not even up for debate.”<\/p>\n
“Liam would always entertain me. If I was bored and wanted to have a laugh, he would play that role…<\/p>\n
“Even if he might have been struggling, he put himself second and still turned up. Those moments are really testament to the truth of who he was as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Louis Tomlinson isn’t a fan of one One Direction song Louis Tomlinson never “enjoyed” performing One Direction’s debut…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,1348,447,3355,134,3359,3353,44,3356,3354,3357,3358,1346],"class_list":{"0":"post-315870","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-breaking-news","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-daily-news","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-global-news","15":"tag-inkl","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-news-app","18":"tag-news-headlines","19":"tag-news-today","20":"tag-today-news","21":"tag-world-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
