Niall Horan Career

A Career in 2010: The X Factor

At sixteen years old in 2010, he auditioned for the seventh series of The X Factor in Dublin. He said “So Sick” and received mixed comments from the judges. Louis Walsh was in his favor but Cheryl Cole and guest judge Katy Perry felt that he needed some time to grow. And Simon Cowell voted to let him through, Cole said no, Wals said yes and Perry decided to vote yes. Thus Niall was put through boot camp. At boot camp, he sang “Champagne Supernova” but failed to qualify for the category.

Niall was then put in a group with four boys who also failed to move on in the competition, this was after a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger. And since they were too good to let go, the judges decided to agree with Scherzinger. Therefore Niall along with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik formed One Direction. Styles came up with the band name, which he thought would sound good when announcer Peter Dickson read their name out on the live shows. For two weeks, the group got together to know each other and to practice. The group then finished 3rd place, behind runner-up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.
