1D performing on NBC's Today show

On this day the U.S. officially comes down with One Direction Infection when over 15,000 fans show up to see One Direction perform on NBC's today show. This great number of fans can only be compared to Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Chris Brown. The fans crowded Rockefeller Plaza and spilled into the surrounding streets.

The boys showed up on an open top bus, one similar to the one shown in 1D's music video to "One Thing". They performed "What Makes you Beautiful" "More Than This" and "One Thing" on a white stage complete with white arena style back-lights. Asking about his relations with the band mates during a break in the action, Zayn answers...

"I think obviously since we got put together, we made four best friends. For us, that's the most amazing part. The only downside is we don't get to see our friends and family as much as we'd like to."

Zayn was asked what he liked most about American girls and he replied...

"They're very, very loud."

Harry also added...

"While we originally hoped to be solo artist, being in a group has proven that was the best thing for all of us."
