I'm assuming that i will be getting a load of crap about this, but honestly, is the band One Direction talented?
Yes, their single, What Makes you Beautiful, is a catchy tune, but that doesn't mean they're talented! So far i've only heard one single from them, there may be more to come, but honestly, i could see them as a one hit wonder.
How many other bands have topped the charts with their one single? How about Secondhand Serenade? Remember that song, Fall For You? Yeah, i just had to look it up in my iTunes library because i couldn't remember their one song. How about Cobra Starship? i love that band, but they've only had one single on the radio. How about The Fray with How to Save a Life? or My Favorite Highway with Say So? Yes, all of these songs have topped the charts, but they didn't produce anything that the radio companies deemed fit for another single to hit the public. Will any of One Direction's?
Back to the talented thing. Just because they have pretty faces and attractive bodies doesn't mean they're talented. It makes them a product the label is selling to you. Do you know how many famous, untalented people are out there just because of technology? It really isn't fair. Take Lana Del Rey for instance. She sounds great in her songs, but watch this clip from SNL.

How awful is this? She's just a pretty product who can't sing or perform. What is with the awkward touching herself and the awkward spin arounds? Ugh. I can't stand not talented people.
Oh here's an even better one! Taylor Swift. I do recognize her for her song writing skills, those are great, but just because you can write songs doesn't mean that you can sing them. Have you ever heard her live? She is flat 100% of the time! She can't sing. So why is she famous? Just because they can auto-tune her doesn't make her talented.
So again. I raise the question, is One Direction really talented? or will they be the next one hit wonder?
