One Direction v.s One Direction


      The band members Niall Horan,Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Harry Styles tried out for the X Factor UK. They were being voted off when simon cowell called them back on stage and told them," You would be better in a group" they called themselves one direction. They got third place. Now they have the number one album in 18 countries around the world.  In 2011 another band called One Direction from california sewed them for one million dollars. The band members Sean O'Leary, Isaiah  Chaves-Pickett,Scott Nagareda, and Adam Davis say that they had the name first. They had the name in 2009 and the UK one direction got the name in 2010. Sony music and syco ignored the plaintiff rights of the US one direction's name.
 This is the UK One Direction
This is the US One Direction

       I asked some students if they should be sewed, “No they shouldn't because the US One Direction isn't as famous as the UK One Direction. Also the UK 1D has a lot of fans.” says Maggie Harder. Olivia Neal said “I've never heard of the US One Direction, and the UK one direction already has a business going.” They have resolved the solution a little. The UK One Direction agreed to add  UK to the front of their name.

  1. Nice job demonizing the US band Megan. Your article gives a good taste of the issue while integrating quotes from different sources. Be sure to have at least two other people edit your article before publishing it next time.
