Dizzying heights of fame and success means: Much more time spent inside hotels, which is where we find One Direction biding their time up amid the clouds of NYC.
There's already been a music video shot in space, so it's about time that NASA got in on the action and opened their doors to a pop band. Enter One Direction, who get their astronaut on at Houston's Johnson Space Center where they get hand's on with actual training gear before blasting off into pseudo-space.
Wanna go on dates with the One Direction lads? This first-person POV clip may be the closest you get, and you might walk away thinking that maybe they're not as smooth as you imagined...
Danny DeVito stars as a video director with a ballsy vision for One Direction. We're talking Sumo wrestlers, chimpanzees, gladiators, hula-hoops, lions, flamingos and, yes, giant explosive balls. It's a huge, ridiculous production, but it's so special that it brings rain to the desert.
Take one of the greatest songs ever and invite Pharrell Williams, Emeli Sande, Elton John, Lorde, Chris Martin, Florence Welch, Kylie Minogue, Stevie Wonder, Brian May, Jake Bugg, One Direction, Chrissie Hynde, Jamie Cullum, Dave Grohl, Sam Smith, and many others to join songwriter Brian Wilson in the most epic group since "We Are The World." The fact its coupled to an ambitious and stylish video directed by Francois Rousselet, of Jonas & Francois, that includes every single performer in uniquely appropriate set-ups makes it all the better — and yes, there's a charitable tie-in.
This tricky, yet simple One Direction video won't help if you have trouble telling these five lads apart. Their fanbase, however, will probably swoon at every quick change.
OneDirection's "Best Song Ever" isn't ready to be crowned Best Video Ever, but the Brit Awards audience have delared it the Best Video of the Year via fan voting.
Personally, I would have gone with Sam Smith f/ Naughty Boy "La La La" which is becoming a smash on these shores as well.
Despite The Stone Roses tee-shirt and a verse riff that kinda sorta splits the difference between AC/DC and Rush, plus a chorus that's a rewrite of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" nobody will accuse leading boy band One Direction of going rock 'n' roll here.
The boys of One Direction dress up as wacky characters (including Tom Cruise's best role in years) and tear up the office of an authority figure. Director Ben Winston knows what the fans want and he delivers all the fun dance moves and flrtatious looks in a package that is cuter than a royal baby.
The One Direction blokes are essentially matinee idols in this charming, yet perfect tribute to old-school Hollywood mythmaking from director Vaughan Arnell.
