Listen: One Direction New Single - What Makes You Beautiful

Listen to the first single from X-Factor quintet One Direction, What Makes You Beautiful.

Needless to say, One Direction's first single "What Makes You Beautiful" hasn't exactly been the most anticipated release of the year at WhatCulture HQ. But we respect that as part of our wider "cultural" remit it is only fair that we give fair coverage to the whole of the music scene. Despite working on material for their debut Album, the X-Factor stars haven't exactly been away from our screens much throughout 2011, fronting campaigns for Nintendo's Pokemon series of games - amongst other things. Syco (Simon Cowell's record label) rewarded the group with a £2million record deal shortly after their X-Factor failure, so there are clearly high-hopes that they will follow fellow X-Factor "star" Cher Lloyd to the top of the charts with their first effort. You can listen to the song, which effectively rips-off a track from the Grease soundtrack, below on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib8Bxo8MJ60 AOL described the track as a "corker". AOL are wrong. What do you think of the song?
