Louis Walsh liked his performance and two of the other judges agreed, sending Niall through to the Boot Camp stage with three yes votes out of four. At Boot Camp, Niall performed “Champagne Supernova” by Oasis for the judges. Unfortunately for Niall he was rejected at this stage of the competition, but Simon Cowell threw him a lifeline by inviting Niall to join four other contestants, who were also rejected at this stage, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.

He even played guitar for the band on songs on their album Take Me Home. His parents first noted Niall’s singing ability during a family car journey. His auntie remarked that she thought the radio was on, when in fact it was Niall singing! Niall is constantly bubbly and full of energy as his main goals in life are to "have a laugh" and to "enjoy every minute of the life in the band." One thing Niall did admit is that he feels awkward when fans start crying when they meet him. |
