It's always foolish for boy bands to throw it away at their height in the long run because their fans have no loyalty. The band ends, the fans get a little bit older and suddenly it's uncool to have ever liked the band and that means they can only "reform" once those teenage girls are grown women and maybe a fraction of them would pay to see them perform live. I always think boy bands should just milk it until they've outstayed their welcome and THEN do the reunion thing. Perfect example: Westlife. It's stupid to throw it all away and make a desperate bid for a solo career. None of One Direction have the charisma or performance skills to be viable solo artists. I'm sure a couple of them will have a couple of hit singles, but there is no Beyoncé or Justin Timberlake in this band. I wonder, when they split, if it'll come out that some of them hate each other?

Yes that's all good and well in the short term, but they will regret it in the long run, as all former boy band members do. A few of them seem like they have substance abuse problems and I would imagine they'll only spiral out of control once the group is over because people will immediately stop giving a **** about them.

As big of a fan, this is so true. I've always said this:

Harry will always be in the media because they're obsessed with him it seems
Louis will do anything to stay relevant and in the media... you should see his family. His sisters are begging for fame... .-.
Liam does well with music and songwriting so I can see him trying a solo career or a songwriting career but slowly fading into the background for a quiet life
Zayn will fade straight away. He does now, he's always missing from group things that aren't concerts or launches.
Niall will stick around. He's popular in America and Ireland so he'll be around for a while.

Isn't Harry quite successful as a songwriter in his own write?

It's best to go out on top as the best band around as well as the best of all time.
