I'm confused! this band is not the same 1D uk :( I LOOOOOVVVEEE your music!! but when I bought your album on itunes they went into the same artist link in my ipod. not a separate one direction think. I just don't get why
I dont think you guys are bad but...really..ya your fanbase is growing by thousands but tbh 1D uk's its growing by millions.nothing against ye but the achievements they have including a BRIT award has made them huge...everyone knows them as one direction so tbh you're only folling yourself...you'll be respected more if you just change your name because when people see you..their only gonna think of our UK boys and...you should have an identity of yer own x
jajajajaj ok What? i really didn't know this band, i love 1D i'm a directioner. this is is like Jonas brothers vs justin bieber (jb) i support 1D uk obvious ;) i think that 1D is so much famous than this boy band but they were first so i respect that but we always gonna say 1D to One direction uk so that can't change.I think this Boy band never gonna go so far :S but i wish them luck :) 1D♥
Both of these bands are good but what the 1dUS needs to realize is, the only reason their view count is 90K, is because it was fans looking for the 1dUK. If you check the Google analytics, you will find that only 2000 viewers knew about 1dUS, the rest all thought they were finding a new 1dUK video. It is a good video; just not the 1d they were searching for…
Any publicity is good publicity especially since the original one direction IS this band. I do like the uk band but I think they need to change their name. Maybe to the other direction
Guys are so stuck on the name. Get over it and enjoy their music. Don't knock people's dreams down. These boys have worked too hard for it and our whole town and other people they've reached support them. So let's get out of the elementary drama and get on with our lives. IVE SUPPORTED YOU GUYS SINCE TE FIRST DAY AND I STILL DO. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK -3
Ok people's. I don't wanna really get involved in this immature arguing but these boys are my friends. We live in a small town and I can tell you honestly I have never heard of the UK one direction. I have been listening to these boys practicing in their barn for years and I will defend my hometown boys all the way. I love them. Ya, now that I've heard the UK one direction, I think they're good too. But nobody stole anything. I agree that it seems to be a coincidence. I still think its dumb you
are you serious? it's obviosly that they're not the same... BOTH bands have talent, and not because you want you have to fight! Lets give 'em an oportunity and STOP FIGHTING!
Personally, I love both One Directions and think that all this hate has got to stop. Both bands are GREAT! I don't know why everyone's so bothered that they both have the same name, I mean, its just a name, their music is pretty different and awesome in their own ways. If you want to differentiate between the two just call one One Direction US and the other One Direction UK...
i think that the the whole name thing is pure coincidence. I don't think either band 'stole' each others names. i doubt either of them had heard of each other.
The hate needs to stop, this One Direction is GREAT and the UK One Direction is ALSO great! I hope they reach a settlement because the fans shouldn't be fighting like this! Directioners (UK lot) stop hating on this band and being rude. US One Direction fans, stop being disrespectful towards the boyband fans. Both are obviously very worthy musicians and WE NEED TOP STOP FIGHTING.
TO OUR FANS: As many of you are now aware, we have been drawn into a legal dispute with a British boy band, challenging our right to use our own name, “One Direction”. Here are the facts. We were the first to use the name. We have been using the name since November, 2009 when, with big dreams and no money, we first started to distribute demo CDs.
The British boy band did not even come together as a group until almost a year later. We were the first to record an album. Ours was released in February 2011, theirs nine months later. We own the trademark “One Direction” in the United States and applied for a federal trademark registration in February, 2011. The British boy band started the legal dispute. Their lawyers appeared before the United States Patent and Trademark Office to challenge our right to the name.
The British boy band is well-funded and high-profile. They were “discovered” as contestants on Simon Cowell’s “X-Factor” show in England. They have Mr. Cowell’s enormous resources behind them. Many of their fans have been very supportive and love our music. However, recently some of their fans have overwhelmed us on our YouTube account, posting negative comments indicating en masse that they “don’t like” our video. (We don’t think they could possibly have given us a fair listen.)
We are a band from a small town, with a fan base growing by the thousands daily. We do not have nearly the resources, but we have right on our side, and we have heart. We are fighting back, but we will need your support. To be clear, we like the British boy band. We like their music. We think they are a bunch of chill guys. We wish them well. We urge you to respect them, their fans and their music. There should be plenty of room for both bands to grow and thrive.
After all, this is just about having fun, making music, and bringing a little light into the world, isn’t it? That’s what we think anyway. We hope and pray that management on both sides will resolve this dispute soon, and we can focus on what we do best – making music! Till then, keep the faith!
P.S. don’t forget to pick up a copy of our Album “The Light” on Itunes!! And we will keep you posted. Thanks again for your huge support, -- One Direction
Stealing other bands names? You've messed with the wrong fan base, trust me and all directioners. Of course now you guys are gonna call your little "fans" directioners now. That's not how it works People need to have some originality.
okay so I looked at your activity and you guys had the freakin NERVE to comment on the one and only one directions video and say "ONE DIRECTION USA!!" ah da da da... usa and may i repeat U-S-A will NOT represent you. there is no one direction USA. Dont make us look bad okay? dont take this the wrong way but,I think it would be in your best intrest to find a new band name. You've messed with the wrong fan base and I would advise you never to comment on the boys' videos with that again.
I hope you know you've pissed off one of the biggest fan bases ever.. just giving you a heads up that maybe you should change your band name..it would be in your best intrest.
Rant rant rant rant THIS IS NOT OKAY. 1. They're stealing an amazing bands name, their style, everything. 2. The way they say "One Direction" and the sound of the music doesn't go together and it sounds like shit. 3. Directioners are pissed. So am I. 4. This is NOT okay. 5. I'm not saying they're shit, I'm saying they have okay music but stealing another bands name? No. Just, no. 6. I hate this. 7. The real One Direction touring with Big Time Rush is bad enough. 8. The Oscars are on. 9.
seems like half of their fame just came from UK one direction... lol yes Harry, Zayn, Niall, Lou, and Liam dont need to dance.. congrats if you guys can but when we buy their songs on Itunes we aren't "watching" them dance were ''listening" to them sing.. proving that we dont watch them cause they look pretty..
I actually discovered this band is October while searching iTunes US for anything by UK One Direction. I like them. I think they're good. Who cares if the two bands have the same name? They do different music. Fans: get over yourselves.
they should just change their name because they sing really good but a lot of people (sorry including me) just don't like them because of their name. Besides with their own name they could be their own original band and not have to be associated with 1DUK
They should change their name for their own benefit. People are going to hate them because of the name and won't even stop to listen to the good music and that's not fair to them
Im not mad at you guys because you have the same name as One Direction (UK). No, it's because i have heard you are trying to make THEM change their name and saying bad things about their music and stuff.. And THAT'S FREAKING STUPID. k?
They're alright.. not my style of music but they are good.. They shouldn't be getting so much hate but i do believe that when you're planning on being in a band you have to make sure the name of it isn't used, right? Especially when you search the name and a really popular band comes up.. right away you must know that you shouldn't pick that name and think of another one..
Everyone calm down. 1DUK win. But that doesnt mean we should hate 1DUS. The boys cant stand hate. You saw how harry reacted when people hated on him so just stop. Yes 1DUK will always be better than anybody to me but that doesnt give me the right to say the things you are saying to 1DUS
are you guys serious? you're really lashing out on this band just because they have the same name as One Direction UK? you're embarrassing our fandom, our family! have we really come this low? What are you going to do, caps lock them to death so they'll change their name? i honestly have no problem with this band, they're pretty talented, but I really doubt that Harry, Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Liam would approve of this! I get how we want to defend our boys and fandom, but this is not the way to.
Dude, as a Directioner (from the REAL One Direction), I should be pissed off... and I was expecting to be, but this band isn't worth it. THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD. But, please, they could have been a bit more creative... 1DUK
@NiallIsFit1D how dare you tell them to die? What is wrong with you? They are pretty good, if the boys aren't having any problem with this why should we? Please grow up..
@NiallIsFit1D That is a terrible thing to say D: I love One Direction and Harry, Louis, Zayn, Liam and Niall but I think wishing something so horrible on these guys is awful D:
Whoever is saying it's just a name is chatting bull. If it was there wouldn't be all this drama. It's not just a name it's a brand. You wanna be able to talk about one direction without going , which one? The Uk or The US one? So to the US one, change your name, noone would notice :P.
There is a chance they have copied the name (because they added a US at the end) But seriously, who cares. They're not bad pr anything. If they were pushing in and interrupting 1D Uk we could argue. But, really wants the point
Ever consider dating someone who has so little class that they're sending hate to this band simply because of a name, then you're delusional. I'm grateful that not all the fans have turned into crazy bitches, but for those of you who have, you need to pull it together and back off. They didn't 'steal' anything. From one video you can see that this band has an entirely different image, style, music, and fan base than 1DUK. Stop being so selfish and immature and cut it out with the pettiness.
The 1DUK fans need to get their shit together. Do have any idea how rude and disrespectful you're being? Do you honestly think that 1DUK are proud of their fans right now? You think they're happy with the image you're giving not only the fan base, but them as well? You're being so immature, I'm honestly disgusted to say that I'm a part of that fandom. It is not your job to worry about another band. You're not in the band, you're not the manager, and honestly, if you think any of the boys would
@iloveronforever614 i think alotta of the girls are upset becuz this band is supposeable taken 1DUK to court or sutin. I love 1Duk...but im not hating on the band....... again i think its the legal crap geting everyone upset
& this is why I'm making a documentary on 'fan girls'- I seriously want to know what goes through your heads? Do you think you're defending UK 1D's honor? Grow up C:
When you guys write rude comments on this video it's obvious that you don't like 1DUK for their talent, but their looks; which is shallow, strangely enough- like your comments.
Although you girls/guys entertain me very much with your craziness, when you do shit like this it crosses that line into pathetic-ness.
@pivotboombar The reason we are mad is cos they are apparently taking 1DUK to court. And dont like them cos theyre looks because they can sing and they dont let fame get to their head!! oh and to your friends??? NO from all directioners :)
i wont lie, i'm a huge fan of 1duk, but this isn't bad music. sure they have the same name, but if all the boys are cool with it then what does it matter?
I'm not going to give this video a thumbs down just because they have the same name as the UK One Direction. I am a massive Directioner for the UK One Direction but this video is actually pretty good. Don't be petty and give it a thumbs down just because they have the same name. If you really hate the music and video, then give it a thumbs down. But if you just down like it because of their name, then you are being stupid.
its pretty stupid of you 1875 people that disliked this video just because theyve got the same name as the british band, i love 1D. and they have no problem with this band, so why do you? if you realy love One direction(the british band) you dont care about the name, you care about the music and the people, have some respect and actually listen to this song, its actually pretty good :)
@MissEllenMarie1 nobody is asking that. We're just asking to the 1DUK fans be more respectful with the "other" one direction. They don't deserve all this hate that you're giving to them.
They should really change there name to something else. It's disgusting seeing that they supposedly copied One Directions name.I actually thought this was One Direction[UK]....Any ways I really like this song!
Why are people being so horrible? This is a decent band with decent music, some One Direction fans are just being usual little, immature bitches and disliking this...it is so disrespectful! All they asked was for 1D to change their name! The reason they only recently made a youtube is cause they aren't a big band, not because they were only established in 2011. They have probably been a band for years! They are doing something they love and you lot are slagging them off! Leave them alone! :-)
@ByatrizSantoz Your only making it worse by going off on the US One Direction fans. The boys (& im talking about UK 1D) wouldnt be happy to know Directioners are going off on these guys because of the name thing.
We're allowed to not like the music. I love One Direction UK, but that doesn't mean I have to be nice to US 1D because they get hate. It's the same for everyone. Not everyone will love them. They have talent, but aren't the best at all. They have potential but need a lot of work.
As much as I love UK one direction, I don't think it's fair that people are going round hating on US 1D, they didn't know there was another band with the same name, so what?! It's really starting to annoy me how much of a big deal people are making this! :L
As much as I love UK one direction, I don't think it's fair that people are going round hating on US 1D, they didn't know there was another band with the same name, so what?! It's really starting to annoy me how much of a big deal people are making this! :L
right, just to sort this all out, UK One Direction are a GROUP!!!!! they dont play instruments, US One Direction DO play instruments, therefore they are a BAND!!!!!!
hey guys you really don't need to do this i love UK 1D i dont even know about this another band and i think the boys won't like this, the UK 1D and the US 1D dont have any problem with that both have the same name, we as true UK directioners have to defend our band but not like this mode
LOOOOOOLOOOOOOL. Every time I try to get One Direction on my pandora, this comes up.. HAHAHA. THATS FREAKING HILARIOUS. . . Uk One Direction <3 And im american so...
LOOK .... the real 1D came from UK ... this is just a fu**ing copy of them ...guys you know what ... THE ONLY 1D IN THE WHOLE WOLD IS 1D UK .... 1D USA ... GO AWAY RIGHT NOW
C'mon, how old are you? Do you really think that this guys deserve 1812 dislikes just because they've got the same name as an another band? If you really like music, you don't matter about the name of the band, you just listen its music. honestly, if this band has any other name, you would say the same? No. I listened both one directions, and they are both fantastic. Thumbs up if you agree.
I really don't mind you guys having the same name as One Direction but calming that you guys were formed before the UK One Direction is just no acceptable. They were formed July 23rd 2010 by Simon Cowell, Nicole and Louis so please, they were formed before you guys.
I'm a massive Directioner, why would you dislike this video? Just because of their name? IT'S THE MUSIC YOU'RE LISTENING TO! This deserves way more likes.
i think it's actually disgusting that people are disliking this video because their name is "One Direction". yes i'm a massive fan of the British One Direction, but this is just stupid and immature. Have some respect.
This is disgusting US One direction are getting hate because they apparently 'Copied' UK One Direction c'mon guys there both great Bands give these guys a chance.
This band has talent, but even I can tell that they're using the name to get an easy launch off the ground. And I don't even like the UK One Direction...
Plus, I've never seen the UK one direction play as an actual BAND like in this video! All they do is stand there and sing, usually mediocre. US1D ftw.
This sounds more like they know about music instead of just looking pretty. The group of boys just sing and dress up, These people obviously know how to write their own music. Shut the hell up about the name. These people are better. Get over your obsession with 2 year old harry potter or styles or whatever his name may be.
Let's all move with our live and focus on the music. Chose to like which ever artist or like them both and leave the disrespect behind. I can assure you all will live and be find and move on with your lives if both one directions can do the same.
I find it do hilarious how people are blowing this up bigger than this needs to be. This is not the first time this has happened with artists and it's surely not going to be last. Both bands aren't even making a big deal out of this, they're actually cool with one another. Only the fans are. Did it ever occur that the is one direction didn't know that there was an establish band in another country with the same name? And when they found out neither band cared. It's not wrong or rude or anything
OneDirectionUS - Keep doing ya thang; all these people are just making empty threats. Not only do you make yourself look like a stupid individual when leave comments like "good luck in your early death",but you make all 1D fans look psychotic.
how about everyone just leave this group alone, i love the UK One Direction, but this US 1D didnt do anything to harm the UK 1D. this 'fandom' are making us look like horrible people. stop being rude
@lanap91 lol my comment sent before i saw yours, but ya most probably :/ oh well, im afraid if they continue with "One direction USA" Im sure many fans out there will send hate tht they dnt deserve
@lanap91 you know nothing about me, i never make stuff up. But whatever i wish this band good luck anyways...lets just continue to support the other one :')
If you look, they say they own the right to the name in the US. They're not telling them to change their name. All it means is that in the British 1D will have to be 1D (UK) in America.
i think they are better

are you guys serious? you're really lashing out on this band just because they have the same name as One Direction UK? you're embarrassing our fandom, our family! have we really come this low? What are you going to do, caps lock them to death so they'll change their name? i honestly have no problem with this band, they're pretty talented, but I really doubt that Harry, Louis, Zayn, Niall, and Liam would approve of this! I get how we want to defend our boys and fandom, but this is not the way to.

Dude, as a Directioner (from the REAL One Direction), I should be pissed off... and I was expecting to be, but this band isn't worth it. THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD. But, please, they could have been a bit more creative... 1DUK

Ever consider dating someone who has so little class that they're sending hate to this band simply because of a name, then you're delusional. I'm grateful that not all the fans have turned into crazy bitches, but for those of you who have, you need to pull it together and back off. They didn't 'steal' anything. From one video you can see that this band has an entirely different image, style, music, and fan base than 1DUK. Stop being so selfish and immature and cut it out with the pettiness.
iloveronforever614 2 days ago
The 1DUK fans need to get their shit together. Do have any idea how rude and disrespectful you're being? Do you honestly think that 1DUK are proud of their fans right now? You think they're happy with the image you're giving not only the fan base, but them as well? You're being so immature, I'm honestly disgusted to say that I'm a part of that fandom. It is not your job to worry about another band. You're not in the band, you're not the manager, and honestly, if you think any of the boys would

When you guys write rude comments on this video it's obvious that you don't like 1DUK for their talent, but their looks; which is shallow, strangely enough- like your comments.
Although you girls/guys entertain me very much with your craziness, when you do shit like this it crosses that line into pathetic-ness.

Why are people being so horrible? This is a decent band with decent music, some One Direction fans are just being usual little, immature bitches and disliking this...it is so disrespectful! All they asked was for 1D to change their name! The reason they only recently made a youtube is cause they aren't a big band, not because they were only established in 2011. They have probably been a band for years! They are doing something they love and you lot are slagging them off! Leave them alone! :-)

Both bands aren't even making a big deal out of this, they're actually cool with one another. Only the fans are. Did it ever occur that the is one direction didn't know that there was an establish band in another country with the same name? And when they found out neither band cared.
