Has It Been 5 Years Since Louis Auditioned for 'The X Factor'?

It's been five years since Louis Tomlinson auditioned for The X Factor UK where he met his band members Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik.

5 years ago today since my audition! Still an impossible thing to comprehend! Everyone who's ever supported us we can never thank you enough

Here's a video of his audition where he sang "Hey There, Delilah" by the Plain White T's.

Thank you judges for saying "YES." Without Louis, One Direction would never be the same.

Now let's look some fans' reactions.
