New One Direction!

8/10/2011 2:50 PM ET | Filed under: Music Minute • X Factor • Reality TV

It's arrived!

Check out former X Factor group One Direction's first single, What Makes You Beautiful (above), off of their upcoming debut album (above)!

Nothing groundbreaking or even particularly interesting here, but harmless and cute.

We know they're a boy band but it sounds too young. If they want a huge and long-lasting hit, they need a song with mass appeal.

That being said, we're curious to hear what else these guys are working on!

What do U think? Are U liking One Direction?

Perez, usually I agree with you, but I think this song is really good! A great debut single, in my opinion. It's already number 1 on the UK charts from pre-orders alone! That's the first time that has ever happened! I think this song is going to do great in the UK and hopefully they'll release it in the US and Canada because I think it would do great there as well. One Direction have a bright future ahead of them

This song isn't terrible, but not great either. I'm sure it will do well because of the following they have (teenage girls). I just hope they start releasing something good or stop releasing music all together. There are enough crappy acts out atm.

The band that Simon put together after he saw how successful The Wanted were becoming? The band you slagged off over and over in favor of Cher "Swagger Jagger" Lloyd? If you are going to be an anglophile, at least have the decency to pay attention to our charts.

Look at what cher Lloyd did with swagger jagger. She was just trying to be all gangster and being mean in her song to the press. One direction just gave the fans what they wanted. A good catchy song, with the beach vibe. And you may not liked them from the start, but give them a thumbs up! They are a boyband, they dont have to come up with those adele heartbreak songs. Girls just want to go all crazy and rave to their songs. So i personally think this is the perfect song to do that!
