5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for a fun, catchy song, one star for live performances. April 3, 2012

By T. Patocka

I had heard this song a few times on XM radio and honestly had no idea that the band was actually 5 different vocalists. To me, this song almost sounded like something Blur would release and re-mix. The lyrics can be interpreted a few different ways but I do find myself getting hooked by its catchy beat and simple lyrics. So...I decided to check the band out on youtube. Wow, I am almost ashamed to admit that as a 35 year old hetero male that I still liked this song after seeing this band. Not realizing that they are supposed to be the next boy band, along with One Direction, I got a feeling that we will be hearing from both groups for some time. I did listen to the other samples that Amazon has posted for The Wanted, and I have admit that I probably won't buy the rest of the album because it doesn't suit my tastes. My opinion is that the Wanted is way better than One Direction, however, in terms of vocal quality.

Now, for my one star rating for live performance, I watched 5 or 6 random live performances on youtube and these guys seriously need a choreographer, fast. I have seen better choreography in a kindergarten Christmas concert, especially if they want more than their voices to bring them success in the USA. Would be a shame to see this group not go on because they are missing a convincing stage presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars British boy bands are coming back! February 23, 2012

By Geek and Proud

These guys are legit famous in England and now they're trying to earn their stripes in the U.S. They did a very very short tour hitting a dozen cities in less than a month before starting their arena tour in Europe (which was referred to as The Wanted Arena Tour aka T.W.A.T. for a while - HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THEM?). They played crappy small clubs and they were wonderfully gracious when the American audiences knew the words to their singles (saw them in D.C. and that show delivered)!

This is dancey boy band fun at its best, look for their other stuff and enjoy! Glad to see the single burning up the charts, I can't get enough of it!!

"Glad You Came" has such a unique sound, and gets you moving! I really enjoy the fact the song is from Europe because I think it provides a one of a kind sound, and is refreshing. One of the better songs I've heard lately!

4.0 out of 5 stars Catchy, upbeat, great for exercise! May 21, 2012

Sure, the lyrics aren't a fantastic example of poetry and music. But the song has a great beat, is simple and repetitive, and is just the right tempo for running, the elliptical, dancing, or just keeping you going during yoga or toning exercises. It's definitely a song I recommend for having fun!
