Attached above is the video of 'The Piano Guys' performance. The first couple of minutes is the One Direction cover but after that its other songs.

One of the songwriters behind 'What Makes You Beautiful' is 'heartbroken' that the song was covered by YouTube group 'The Piano Guys' during Donald Trump's inaugural concert.

Savan Kotecha is speaking out against the reportedly unauthorized use of the boy bands debut single by Donald Trumps inauguration cover band.

"I wrote 'What Makes You Beautiful' for my wife," Savan told Billboard after he said on Twitter that The Piano Guys were "absolutely NOT given permission" to perform it.

"To me the song is about love, joy, and acceptance. The fact that it was used to celebrate a man who stands for divisiveness and bigotry breaks my heart," he added. "I am the son of immigrants. My children are biracial. A 'Trump America' makes me worried for their future."

So I would like to hear what you guys think? Personally this is a breach of someones own song and you would think they would have asked permission before they performed it!! First comment gets a dedication.
