Vanilla Ice praises One Direction

Vanilla Ice has heaped praise on One Direction.

The veteran rapper told Celebuzz that the British pop stars are reinvigorating the boyband scene after years in the doldrums.

The 'Ice Ice Baby' star added all the other male groups currently enjoying success "owe" it to the 'What Makes You Beautiful' icons. He said:

"The boybands are back, man, with a vengeance. And they owe it to One Direction. Because it was dead in the water until One Direction came back. And then they were like, well what about 98 Degrees? Or what about 'N Sync? Or what about Backstreet Boys?"

Vanilla Ice also had time to praise One Direction's latest single 'Kiss You', highlighting that you shouldn't be ashamed of liking a good pop track. He said:

"I learned that a great song is just simply a great song. I don't care how great your lyrics are…I don't care about who, what or anything else. It's either a great song or it's not."
