Why The Wanted Ended

The Wanted was formed in 2009 by Jayne Collins he had an interest in forming a boy band and held auditions and eventually the final lineup consisted of 5 members Max, Siva, Jay, Tom and Nathan. The band hit their international peak and immediately their downfall came into play.

I don't care what anyone tells me, The Wanted were extremely underrated and deserved everything in this world, not only were their songs BOPs but they even had such vibrant personalities. I could just write essays on how much they meant to me while growing up and the amount of influence they had but I doubt that even that'd be enough. I'm so glad (you came. I'll go home now) to have stanned such legends while they were still active and maybe I have such a soft corner for them because they were the first band that I ever stanned but I'll always treasure them.

As a fan of The Wanted myself, I can say that the reason of their ending wasn't just for One Direction. Yes, they always fought for trying to be the best boyband in the music industry, but to be honest all of the boybands at that moment fought for the same thing (like BTR, The Vamps, Lawson and 5sos). The real reason of their ending was the fame (and not knowing how to handle it), changing Jayne to Scooter Braun as their manager, doing stupid things for publicity (like the reality show on E!, The Wanted Life) and trying to do an album that didn't match with their personality, that's why they flopped. They could have done better, but some member just didn't want to keep going with it.

I saw them when they opened for Ariana Grande, I think back in 2015. I thought they were actually better than her, at least in that type of concert setting, and I'm sad that they haven't really found widespread mainstream success. Their music is a little too pop-y for my current tastes, but I still think that they're pretty good.

[@VICTONSTOES]

It’s sad how no one actually knows how supportive the wanted were to one direction when one direction were on X factor like in a wanted Wednesday they told all their fans to support one direction .. to me, the wanted were ahead of their time because they would vlog EVERYthing for their fans and post them EVERY Wednesday for 5 years but not many people focused on them because of other groups. The wanted with fan service is something I will never forget .. I remember they had fan meetings FOR FREE when all time low came out and for 5 years they did so many things like that. I miss them so much .. like yall can drag them or whatever but I felt so much closer to the wanted than I ever did with any other boy group at that time.

[@NIzzah]

Same. I loved them so much and dedicated my teenage years for them. If they ever come back together, I'll be back for them. Those Wanted Wednesday was the reason all of us got so close to them and truly, The Wanted has created so many fun things for their fans and they have made me felt so loved an appreciated back then

They might have had a better chance had they not come out around the same time as another huge band. A lot of it had to do with the fact that One Direction was the shiny new toy, and The Wanted was still largely unknown. The bands also looked a little similar in number, appearance, the fact that they were both from the U.K., and they often used the same formula to create chart topping hits. This would elicit an underlying tension and competitive nature between the bands (at least on the side of The Wanted). Besides that, One Direction was supported by Simon Cowell and his label. They had an empire behind them, while The Wanted were signed to a much smaller label. It was bound to happen to them. Unfortunate, but true.

i feel like if the wanted got better promoted and did their own thing instead of just trying to beat out 1D they would have been successful, they cared way too much about being nr1 when in reality that's not the most important thing. If you look at the vamps in example they started out around the same time as 1D and even though they never beat them they are still making music and are successful in their own right.

they would have died eventually cause most teen girls in America were either fangirls of JB or one direction and after the feud, I rmbr how no one gave a crap about them and they were​ always hated on so it would have been hard to still be successful in America. so again, 1D cancelled them.

Oh these boys... They will forever hold a special place in my heart. Seriously one of the most underrated boybands of all time. The talent they had was insane. I was a fan super early on... Small town Indiana girl somehow stumbled across their youtube channel literally playing shows at elementary schools. I saw them in concert 6 times, met them at an airport, got pulled on stage by Jay, ended up being in a Wanted Wednesday video, hung out with them for hours after their shows, and shared some shots with a few of them. They were literally some of the most down to earth people I've ever met. For a lot of people like me they were our island of misfits and made it okay to be a little weird. I just wish that someday I could see them again... Sometimes I think about them and it feels more like I lost a friend than as if a favorite band broke up. If you don't know them... Here are a few of my favorite songs or covers they did. You will thank yourself later! Gold Forever Lightning Warzone (Yes the first 40 seconds are his actual voice...

The Wanted will always have a special place in my heart, since 2011-2014. Their music really guided me through teenage years (more so, their underrated songs) and I couldn’t thank them enough. Nathan Sykes truly stood out to me the most, he is the member that made me interested into listening to this boyband. His voice and stage presence was so unique and captivating. I had a twitter account where I meant lots of wonderful people (twfanmily) whom I’m still friends with today and so glad I got to experience being in a true fandom. One thing I adore about this band, is they would interact with us on Twitter. One of the happiest moments is when I got noticed by them on twitter and 4/5 members following me which is pretty amazing. However, the only time that it was shitty was with directioners.. since I was a fan of both at the time.. it was hard listening to people bashing them. But I didn’t let them get to me and continued to support this band on Twitter. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to meet them or see them live.. as they cancelled their world tour. Till this day, that still breaks my heart.. being a fan for nearly 4 years and the experience being taken away from you. Anyways, it’s safe to say I have moved on but will never forget them.. these memories will literally stay gold forever. ❤️ All time low, gold forever, I’ll be your strength, warzone, rocket, last to know, lie to me, demons, in the middle, everybody knows will still remain my favourite songs ever.

The Wanted is that one group that you LOVE every song they sing, which is rarely the case for me. Their songs are catchy and bop. I am from Thailand so I don’t really know much what’s going on with the group. Really want them to come back tho.

[@truthseeker8200]

andrea That's your opinion

[@kennedy4507]

Leander Varma how did they write “f*g” songs? If writing about love, sex, and heartbreak is considered “f*g” music then so did the wanted. I don’t even know why you have to use a slur to describe music, it just proves how ignorant you are

[@kennedy4507]

Leander Varma if you would’ve listened to all of the songs from the last 2 albums you would know that’s not the case. How the hell is being happy “f*g” like?

[@FireDrone23]

Back when I was a senior in high school, my guitar teacher invited them to have a Q&A with the performing arts students. It was awesome. I was star struck for weeks.

[@AndreasMusicWorld]

i’ve said it for 6 years now and i will always stand by it but coming from a fan that has been a fan since the beginning i really believe that scooter braun played a huge role in their brake up. jane was a great manager (#wantedwednesday on YT) however i knew if she were to stay manager they would stay a local UK band (like JLS). the minute i knew that scooter was their new manager along with the TV show i knew things would go wrong. i miss them as a group and still love their 1st and 2nd albums, although i don’t really listen to their individual work. maybe in the future they wont do anything big but something small and meaningful to the thousands of fans they once (and might still have) had.

[@ZHUPERxMAN]

they had some catchy tunes for sure.

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

Agreed! All the songs sampled in this video indeed point to that.

Well, now that 1D is gone, all those bands are back and ready to make it big. One Direction won't be back in a long time, to not say never, so now The Wanted and all the boy bands from the 2010's can achieve the fame and popularity they deserve. I'm glad to see them together again, feels like my teenage years are back. 💕💕

No band should make music to compete with something. That’s not really what music is about. And those who make music to get number one in the charts. Tend to loose sight of why the started in the first place. And their music becomes generic and bland. Which is why. As a result. They end up fading out and being replaced by someone else who is basically the same as them. Just look at who was in the charts none stop 5 or so years ago. Compared to now. Make music that talks to, and expresses yourself
