One Direction Fans Furious Over Impersonator Tribute Band
by Michelle McGahan | PopCrushThe Directioners have spoken.
The One Direction fandom is none too pleased with One and Only Direction, a tribute band whose website hails the group as “the most authentic One Direction lookalikes, soundalikes and impersonators on the market.”
“#STOPyouarenot1D” has been trending steadily overnight, with fans unabashedly bashing the tribute band with some pretty cruel tweets:
Please don't try, it's the most disgusting picture I've seen #STOPyouarenot1D

Still, One and Only Direction are proud of their tribute to the boys and have continued to tweet their promotional materials as well as their support of 1D themselves:
