Do you like 1D? Don't worry if you can't stand them. We can talk about fashion, sport, film, art, social issues, religion or politics. Strangely enough, all these topics might point at One Direction!

Harry at Madison Square Garden
MSG 21st June
“Please feel free to be
whoever it is you choose to be in this room tonight,” Harry Styles told the crowd at his sold-out show at New York’s
Madison Square Garden Thursday night, as he strummed his guitar. The guy takes
his own advice. He draped himself in the rainbow flag and the bi pride flag as
he vamped through the One Direction classic “What Makes You Beautiful.” For his
biggest solo hit, he offered a dedication: “This song is for anyone out there
who needs it. This is ‘Sign of the Times.’ Happy Pride!”
So much about Harry’s live mojo has changed since his boy-band days with One Direction, except the most important thing: the way he lights up a room of any size with his superhuman enthusiasm. A year into his solo rebirth, he’s earned his stripes as a master of every rock & roll move, wearing the tradition like it’s a coat he had tailored just for him. The whole night was an emotional onslaught. (Rolling Stone)

.
He’s the ultimate fusion of Mick Jagger’s yin and Paul McCartney’s yang – that
mix of the Stonesy flamboyant rogue and the Beatlesy romantic charmer – to the
point where encountering them at peak strength in the same star can get
bewildering. Even though we’ve had years to get used to this guy and really
should be building up a tolerance by now, except he makes lightweights of us
all. He was determined to make you feel uplifted, no matter how low you felt
when you walked in. The hook in “Two Ghosts” – ”trying to remember how it feels
to have a heartbeat” – describes a common ailment these days; his job is to
jolt you into remembering. (Rolling Stone)

Harry
Styles performed a cover of Shania Twain's "You're Still the One" alongside Kacey
Musgraves during the British singer's Friday concert at New
York's Madison Square Garden.
Ain’t nothin’ better
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
They said “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holdin’ on
We’re still together still goin’ strong

Niall on The Late Late Show
James: You have some history with Trump. Didn't Trump once - is this true? Did he once kick One Direction out of a hotel in New York?

Zayn for GQ
It's no secret that Zayn
didn't love One Direction's sound or his bandmates. "My vision didn't
necessarily always go with what was going on within the band," he says.
There was something so earnest, so wholesomely dweeby, about the whole thing.
It wasn't cool, and Zayn didn't particularly enjoy being dragged around the
world to look like an epic dork during the prime of his youth.
When he split off, in 2015,
Zayn finally got to do all the
things he hadn't been able to in One Direction: dye his hair, grow his beard,
sing about sex. But he was also introduced to a fresh army of puppeteers trying
to guide him, and he felt disoriented, adrift. The only way to ground himself
was to resist the pull of anyone's expectations and answer only to Zayn. He'd
spent five years taking direction
and had become allergic to it.
There are plenty of clichéd
expressions about how toxic and stifling freedom can
be, and Zayn experienced many of them when he went solo. "I didn't really,
like, make any friends from the band. I just didn't do it. It's not something
that I'm afraid to say. I definitely have
issues trusting people," he says. When he was living in Los Angeles,
aimless, he fell in with a crowd of industry people: "Producers,
musicians, tailors, stylists, managers. Them kind of things," he says.
"It got too crazy. I just got too much into the party scene. Just going
out all the time. And I was too distracted." So he left L.A. permanently
and moved to New York earlier this year as a way to bring himself back down to
earth.
Harry in Toronto
Toronto 16th June
“I’m gonna tell you
a couple things that I personally love about Canada! One, Poutine! Number two,
maple syrup! Number three, Michael Buble! Number four, Jim Carey! Number five,
those big moose things! Number six, Michael Buble riding on a moose thing!
Number seven, Michael Buble riding a moose thing eating poutine! Number eight,
Michael Buble covered in maple syrup riding a moose thing eating poutine to the
sound of ‘Oh, Canada!’ What number are we at? Eight, we did eight. Number nine
is you!”
