The Wanted ‘I Found You’ Download or Ditch?
Comments
And they’re back. After taking over America with the multi-million selling ‘Glad You Came’, Max, Jay, Siva, Tom and Nathan return with the first single from their *third* album ‘I Found You’. It’s got high notes, it’s got Ibiza horns, it’s got some nice jittery bits and dramatic pauses, it’s got Jay saying WANTED WORLD EXCLUSIVE. But is it any good? Let’s say we’re yet to be convinced. Full thing tomorrow morning when we’ll make our minds up. What do you think of ‘I Found You’? Leave us a comment below.
UPDATE 1: Here’s the full version of ‘I Found You’ ripped from the first play on Radio 1. We’re off to have a good few listens and will be back with our thoughts very soon. The song is set for release in November.

Conor Maynard talks girlfriends, Rita Ora, Nando’s and America!
I’m only 19 but I am old enough to go out to clubs and to have fun, but ‘Can’t Say No’ is tongue-in-cheek. It’s not really a representation of me. It’s just easy to sing along to and makes you want to dance.
Do you get annoyed when people compare you to Justin Bieber?
Comparisons come early in your career and it’s always better when people get to make their own opinions. I think it’s best to get further along and let people decide for themselves.
How difficult was it filming the music video to ‘Vegas Girl’ where you chat up lots of ladies?
The video was such a surreal situation. To have to walk up to a girl and ask for her number is just something I would never do. The conversation with the director where we were choosing what to say went on for ages, I thought it had to be realistic. The director suggested I said ‘Oh hey you’re really beautiful, can I have your number?’ but I would never say that so we stuck with ‘Hey can I have your number? I know some good massage techniques!’ and another line was ‘Can I have your insurance number, because I think you’ve broken my heart!’
Pretty cheesy. If there was one girl who you couldn’t say no to, who would it be?
There is a collaboration with Rita Ora on the album so if I had to choose one girl I can’t say no to it would have to be Rita – though I may have to fight off Rob Kardashian first! I would probably do a runner, I’ve never met him but he is a bit bigger than me. But I saw an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where he did a charity boxing match and got destroyed and I was like “oh my goodness!”
Who else would you love to collaborate with?
Out of anyone, dead or alive, I would have to choose Michael Jackson to collaborate with. No competition.
We hear you have an exclusive Black Card from Nando’s – has it had much abuse yet?
Yes! I think I’ve used it every day.
I came up with the tequila line. It was around halfway through the song and I thought it hadn’t really shown off my vocals yet so I wanted to do something different and it just happened the tequila line was just before it so we stuck with that.
What would you say to Simon Cowell if you were stuck in a lift with him?
I would ask him if he would put me through on The X Factor or not because it would be interesting to know. He would probably say no and then I would cry.
Where would you take a girl on a date?
I would have to choose the beach, it is just such a romantic place. I mean, I come from Brighton where we have pebble beaches so it’s probably worse and much more painful.
What do you look for in a girl?
I don’t really know because if I look at past relationships I have been in and they have all been lots of different types of girls. I have only had one long term relationship but I have had lots of mini ones too.
‘Vegas Girl’ has appeared on the Billboard Pop Chart – do you want to break America? One Direction, The Wanted, Ed Sheeran and Cher Lloyd are all having a lot of success over there.
I do want to break America! It’s quite scary, it is a big place to try and break. It’s an amazing place, but for me I don’t think I could live anywhere other than the UK, I love my home too much but then again I am only 19 so I haven’t really been able to experience America properly.
What’s been your top highlight of the past 12 months?
The highlight of the last year for me would be the people I have been working in the studio with from Pharrell to Ne-Yo to Rita Ora and other amazing names. I have learnt so much from people that are legendary in the industry.
Thank you very much, Conor!
Thanks, Maximum Pop!
‘Turn Around’ is the next single from Conor’s album Contrast, which is out now!

The new The Wanted single is called ‘I Found You’
Comments
*takes off dark shades and massive jacket* Hello MP!ers. Thanks to some hardcore investigative work [we copied it from this site] we’re pleased to announce the name of the new The Wanted single, taken from the boys’ third album, is called ‘I Found You’. And to the left, you have a shot from the video which sees Tom being chased by mental fans (standard), Siva being helpful (standard) and Jay showing off (standard). The new video is directed by Chris Marrs Piliero who also directed Ke$ha’s ‘Blow’, and Britney’s ‘Criminal’ and ‘I Wanna Go’. Signs point to a nipple-free but much more exciting effort than their previous videos which have mostly been 98% ‘look at us being moody and standing on the spot’. Huzzah.
Are you excited for 'I Found You'? What do you want to see in the video?
The winner is… Win a signed The Wanted card. Wednesday’s Comp of the Day!

Ouch! Justin Bieber punches The Wanted’s Siva in the balls!
Comments
Scooter Braun, manager of Justin Bieber and The Wanted, has revealed a startling moment of shocking popstar-on-popstar violence. Whilst hanging out with The Wanted and TV presenter Carson Daly, a bored Biebs decided to play a “game” in which he “playfully” punched his companions in the crotch with his fist. Charming!
From The New Yorker:
First, he jabbed at Braun, who, without looking up from the script, dropped his hands to block. Daly did the same. When Bieber jabbed at Siva Kaneswaran, a member of The Wanted, he connected. He called out, “Got you, bro.” Kaneswaran balled his fist but seemed unsure how to respond. “I don’t want to hurt his pretty face,” he said.
Braun said, “Just get him in the pretty balls. It’s fair game.”
“No, it’s not,” Bieber said.
Braun took a firm tone. “Justin, it is – fair game,” he said. “You hit him in the balls, fair game.”
We had always thought Justin was such a nice boy. :(
