One Direction management push for Harry Styles ‘lead singer’ role
Fans of Liam Payne/Niall Horan/Zayn Malick/Louis Tomlinson, look away now: One Direction’s management are reportedly pushing for Harry Styles to become the “lead singer”.
The boyband are currently in the middle of their first round of US publicity, and label executives apparently reckon groups with a lead singer stand a better chance of success.
Nicole Scherzinger, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake certainly give their theory some credibility.
The five-piece are currently across the Atlantic gearing up to support Big Time Rush on their tour of the country, following a stint filming hit teen show iCarly on Monday (January 28).
Their venture comes less than a month after rival group The Wanted made their US TV debut on Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime chat show.
A source told the Daily Star: “Columbia music execs are rubbing their hands with glee. It looks like One Direction are going to be absolutely massive in America.
“They decided long ago that Harry is a natural frontman. He’s funny, confident and has a great voice.”
But a friend of the band said: “They are determined to carry on the way they have been – without a lead singer. Harry certainly hasn’t asked for all this attention.”
What do you think? Is Harry the best choice for leading man?
Ahehm! The only thing in common about Pussycat Dolls, Destiny's Child and N'Sync is they all broke up! One Direction is perfect. It's not about the lead singer, its all about how brilliant their song is. I just hope the US Management won't let them sing songs about sex or disgusting music.
I was under the impression that Liam was the closest to lead singer, and Harry just happens to be the most famous because of the Caroline Flack stuff.
a band is a band no lead singers, well thats my thoughts..Harry is a great singer just like the rest but my opion is no lead singer keep it the way it is now all gorgeous boys with great voices an there all amazing together so keep it together because you could risk breaking up just like Take That did an The Pussycat Dolls etc.. love you all boys btw:*x
