Fifth Harmony

It’s easy to see the similarities between 2010s teen-pop powerhouses Fifth Harmony and One Direction.

Both groups initially had five members, were formed on the reality show The X Factor, and finished third in their respective seasons.

However, while One Direction gleefully embraced the classic boy-band handbook, the members of Fifth Harmony—Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui—put a decidedly modern spin on traditional girl-group tropes.
