00:23 The pop star, then 16, had just performed
00:26 with his bandmates for the first time
00:29 and was visibly emotional after learning
00:31 the just-formed group secured a spot
00:33 in the next stage of the show.

01:13 - For us, at that stage, you enter the competition
01:16 to obviously get as far as you can.
01:18 - Yeah.
01:19 - It was kind of like you go home as a solo artist
01:21 or you continue in the competition as a group.
01:23 It was just really exciting.
01:25 - Okay.
01:26 - It was a new thing and we were all kind of ready to go.
01:28 - Yeah, we kind of just like kind of fit
01:29 into our own little role sort of in the band,
01:31 like how we work with each other and stuff.
01:32 So yeah, we all know our own little things
01:34 and why it works.
01:36 - Despite not winning X Factor,
01:38 the band of course went on to release
01:40 five chart-topping studio albums,
01:42 becoming a global phenomenon.

02:20 - The first song 1D fans ever heard from them
02:23 and earned Harry some early recognition from Simon.
02:27 - Do you know what I was amazed about?
02:28 Was that individually, they all sang well.
02:31 - They all sang well.
02:32 - I mean, particularly the kid with the curly hair.
02:34 I never heard him sing like that before.
02:36 - Directioners are also getting their first look
02:38 at another moment, the band singing Kelly Clarkson's
02:42 "My Life Would Suck Without You."
02:44 ♪ My life would suck without you ♪
02:52 - But this never-before-seen interaction with Simon
02:54 has fans shook after he seemingly foreshadowed
02:58 One Direction's decision to part ways in 2016.
03:01 - Are you enjoying being in a band?
03:02 - Yeah, more than anything.
03:03 I mean, it's been a completely new challenge
03:05 and a different experience
03:06 and we've all loved it just as much as each other.
03:08 - You've become friends?
03:09 - Yeah. - Yeah.
03:10 - Falling out yet?
03:11 - Yeah, a bit of some bops.
03:12 - Yeah, you will, trust me.
03:14 - It doesn't necessarily have to be so literal
03:16 and, you know, people can interpret
03:18 a lot of different things in different ways.
03:22 - Zayn was the first to leave 1D in 2015.
03:25 A year later, everyone else went their separate ways
03:27 to pursue solo careers.
03:29 But only time will tell when Harry, Liam, Zayn,
03:32 Niall, and Louis will give fans the One Direction reunion
03:35 they've been waiting for.
