I think he was more comfortable with his 4 mates by his side. He had a foundation of 1D, but also, not everyone can take the criticism and scrutiny that comes with the spotlight. Obvi when he first auditons for Xfactor he was ready to be solo and in front of crowds and cameras, but we are all way more comfortable with risk when we are younger. He has potential, but is potential enough?
