EXCLUSIVE!
[Blind Gossip] There’s been a lot of excited chatter about the reunion of this famous band.
Would you like to know what’s really going on behind the scenes?
Of course you do!
Here’s the truth.
There are three components to this story.
1. Album. 2. Reunion. 3. Performance.
Let’s start with the album.
Did you think that the band was getting back together to make new music? Sorry! That’s not happening.
However, the record label does want to do a “Greatest Hits” album to commemorate the anniversary of the band!
To maximize the success of the album, it would be ideal if ALL of the previous band members agreed to promote the album.
It’s actually an easy gig. They don’t have to create any new music. They don’t even have to be in the same room together!
All they have to do is promote the album on their individual social media accounts. Maybe do an interview or two. It’s an easy payday for easy work.
The second component is a reunion.
Obviously, if they could get all the band members into the same room together to do even one interview or one promotional photo shoot in addition to the social media promotions, it would get huge media coverage and would boost the album sales tremendously.
The third component is performance.
The ultimate get would be for the band to promote the album by actually performing together again!
So, what are the chances of these things happening?
ALBUM: 75% chance of this happening.
It’s a money-maker for the label, but they would strongly, strongly prefer to have all the band members agree to promote it before they announce it.
It would be psycho for them to just release it without the band members backing it.
REUNION: 50% chance of this happening.
Despite the hints dropped by one of the band members… this is not even close to being a done deal! So why is he even hinting about it?
He is hoping that if the fans get excited enough and push the other guys, they will feel compelled to participate.
PERFORMANCE: 1% chance of this happening with all five band members. 5% chance of this happening with four out of the five band members. Seriously. Do not hold your breath.
Exactly where do each of the five band members stand on this project?
Currently, one band member is hot on doing this… two are warming up to it and are moving in the right direction… one is cool to it… and one is ice cold to the rest of his band mates.
Hot is leading the charge to get this done.
Even if it doesn’t happen, he is getting lots of attention that could benefit his new solo project.
Warm and Warmer could go either way.
[Hot] has been talking to the both of them regularly and he thinks that they can be pushed into it.
Cool is the most successful individual artist of the group.
[Cool] is really focused on his future and making new music and he would prefer to leave the band in the past. He might promote the album but he does not want to perform the old music.
Cold does not want to communicate.
He just doesn’t like anybody.
The feeling is mutual. However, it would still be more profitable to have him aboard!
Maybe the other four could tempt Cold with a dinner invitation?
After all, he does love his chicken in Chile!

Missy7810 says
Band: One Direction
Hot: Liam
Warming up: Louis & Niall (they know that they have to do one more album to fulfill their contract)
Cool: Harry (that’s just the attitude he likes to project – loves raking in the $ so it is a front)
Cold: Zayn (the only one he has complimented for their music is Niall and vice versa)
Have to disagree about Harry being the most successful, music wise it is Niall who has more platinum records! If you are talking about “celebrity” then you are correct!

OASIS.
jemima8 says
Cold is Zayn.
I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Simon Cowell and Modest zapped the energy out of them; 1D could refuse to let Modest release a Greatest Hits album.
1D’s members remember where they came from, but it seems like they all wanna move on.
jemima8 says
I love *NSYNC and all 5 band members, but it’s not them – they were formed in 1995 (Lance already did a special podcast interviewing all 5 of them for 20 years of No Strings Attached + bonus extras; they all seem like they’re very good friends despite Justin being busy. He’s also warming up to them again). This is One Direction. They were formed in 2010, so 2020 would mark their 10 year anniversary.
Hot: Liam/Louis
Warm and Warmer: Louis and Niall/Liam and Louis
Cool: Harry Styles
Cold:…

I have been 1D fandom since 2012. No I don’t think a reunion with all five members will ever happen. Harry is completely at different level. His style, his music and everything else has changed drastically. There is no way will go back to the boyband mode. He has moved on.It is sad actually. But hopefully a mini performance for the sake of the fans who stood by them all these years.

This is Talking Heads.
ChattyCat says
Band: One Direction
Several clues including ‘Psycho’ 1Ds management & reference to chicken in Chile drug drama
Hot: Liam Payne
Warm & Warmer: Louis & Nial
Cool: Harry
Cold: Zayn
Optional:
album: maybe…but which songs would go on a ‘best of’?
reunion: not for another 10 yrs or more when Harry’s fame starts fading.
performance: absolutely not gonna happen…it would be a step backwards for Harry who’s shown his success doesn’t depend other the 1D lads
charlene2345 says
One Direction. I don’t know all of their names.
MiaIrish says
This one’s a Gimme
Band: 1D
Hot: Liam – won’t stop talking about it
Warm and Warmer: Louis and Niall
Cool: Harry
Cold: Zayn
[Optional] What do you think will happen with the album/reunion/performance? Very little – a tweet or anniversary post…..beyond that. I think NOTHING.

One Direction.
Hot: Liam Payne
Warm and warmer: Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson
Cool: Harry Styles
Cold Zayne Malik
The first four listed above might put out the proposed reunion album and maybe do a single interview together. And they would probably happily do an interview or two separately about the album. They really should strike while the iron is hot, as their fan base will be too old to listen to the band fairly soon.

1D reunion
Hot Louis
Warm and warmer Liam and Niall
Cool Harry

Think there’ll just be a Simon Cowell promoted album – it’s not like any of them need the money

What do you think will happen with the album/reunion/performance?
That’s a lot of cats to herd. Maybe the ones most in need of money will make something happen.

montebell says
Just the thought of a 1D reunion of any sort is causing serious palpitations across the land. It’s a nice break from the real world problems. I can see them each recording separately and then combining into 1 song. I doubt there will be an actual reunion, but can see a greatest hits album. We all know who Cold is. Let it be….
ADM1780 says
NSYNC?
PhilRay82 says
Band: One Direction
Hot: Liam Payne
Warm and Warmer: Louis Tomlinson & Niall Horan
Cool: Harry Styles
Cold: Zayn Malik
Syco Music may well drop the album (it’s a guaranteed cash grab).
A face-to-face reunion is not happening, maybe a video message from cool parties.
A performance is DEFINITELY not happening.
Sleepyandconfused says
One Direction
Liam
Harry and Niall
Louis
Zayn
christined says
Band: One Direction
Cool: Harry Styles (he is the most successful solo artist out of the five)
Cold: Zayn Malik probably since he was the first to leave the band and he seems that he have distanced himself from his ex-band mates.
Optional: A reunion will bring lots of $$$ and publicity, therefore I think that even if no one is really up for it, they will compromise eventually.

What do you think will happen with the album/reunion/performance? Not a lot! A greatest hits album with no new music, even an extra song, no joint interviews, no concert. I’m not sure people are that gullible anymore.

This is obviously about One Direction..
Hot: Liam or Louis?
Warm and Warmer: Niall and Liam?
Cool: Harry Styles
Cold: Zayn
I think they’ll each promote the album but doubt they’ll get together. Especially Harry, he just seems to not care anymore and he’s been doing well. Also, his style is so different than the rest now. Clues were “direction“ and “chicken”

Psycho is possibly a reference to their cheesy psych ward video.

Changing my answer to 1D, but an Nysnc reunion would be awesome!

One Direction and Zane doesn’t speak to the others at all.
