They better seethe. I bet they're really kicking themselves for trying and failing to drag 1D when they were first emerging on the scene outside the UK.
I like them but they need to stop pointing the finger at other people... the sole reason of this breakup was because Max and Nathan wanted to do their own thing (& also because Word of Mouth flopped ). Their fight with 1D was a big reason why people dislike them, but they brought it upon themselves. Sad.
