VIDEO : Simon Cowell Says One Direction Was A 'Nightmare? Originally

Simon Cowell wasn't the popular boy bands biggest fan when he first discovered them on his talent show. The media mogul spoke with Billboard recently where he called the boys ?a nightmare? at first. ?They were like five puppies ? really excited, loads of opinions, always wanted to hang out.? Well, as it happens, Louis Tomlinson agrees with Cowell?s assessment of the five young singers when their careers first began. ?I?m sure we were a nightmare,? said Tomlinson told Billboard, laughing.
