The Wanted
Let's hear it for the return of Boy Bands in 2012! Seriously, we were treated to some really great songs and videos thanks to The Wanted.
In any good era of Boy Bands there has to be some competitive rivalry going and in 2012 we had One Direction vs. The Wanted. They each have a collection of sleek and catchy songs, but with One Direction we have a clean cut group of nice boys, while with The Wanted we get some rougher and scruffier young men!
In their first video for Glad You Came, we are introduced to the guys as they vacation in Ibiza. It's more than just some playful fun in the sun with some cute flirty girls. We get to see all of the meeting up on the beach leading to the dancing the night away at the club. Then it wraps up with the morning after all disheveled and sweet.
The second video, Chasing The Sun, finds the guys once again out in the night time club scene. This time they are all giving into the seduction of a group of beautiful young women. It turns into a trip into the dark side as these women turn out to be vampires and one by one the guys get bitten.
The "rough around the edges" image of The Wanted is continued in their video for I Found You. Here we find the guys rescuing a girl who has been kidnapped and tied up. They find her in an old apartment building and have to beat up a group of thugs in order to get to her.
The Wanted may not be showing sales and airplay numbers as high as One Direction, but who cares? These guys are HOT!
