THE EP HAS ARRIVED!!

The boys continue to conquer America...


Tuesday April 24, 2012: TWOverview


      The boys EP was just released today and by 8:43 AM EST it was already up to number 4 on the iTunes Music Charts!!! Make the boys proud and get the EP up to number 1!!! Buy it here on iTunes (link) and maybe do it because the boys are watching:

Keep the tweets commin! We are reading all of em! X #TheWantedEP

Also if you haven't bought the EP yet, you should at least check out the boys new song on the album SATELLITE!!! Click here to listen (link).

       Today the boys were up for an early start (4:30 AM EST!!) because it was very big day for them and as Jaybird puts it...

@JayTheWanted: Early bird catches the worm! (early worm gets terrifying death)

Their first stop for the day was preforming on the Today Show!! It was an amazing performance as always and if you missed it just click here (link).

Although the boys sadly preformed in studio, like the great people they are they went out outside to greet fans and during their performance gave a shout out to everyone outside...

they are just too perfect!!! Too bad the twitition didn't manage to get the boys outside!!

Either way the fans had fun at the Today Show and the boys, #TeamWanted and The Kids maybe had a little too much fun...

There were several tweets and photos about the 40 pound cat that also shared the show that day:

- @JayTheWanted At the today show with the fattest cat around! He looks like a pillow with ears and teeth!

- @egodness 40 lb cat. Yep. It's real

- @brian_deneeve 40 lb cat

- @thewantedmusic Spending quality time with our new friend Meow, the 40 pound cat

They just have the biggest smiles!! <3

Typical boys and The Kids...

       After the today show the boys took some time to visit the Empire State building for the first time!! Take a look at some of the photos:

      Being that today the boys music video for Chasing the Sun premiered WORLD WIDE and was an MTV First: The Wanted, MTV followed the boys all around NYC until the premier!!

Busy #MaxMonday

Just off the plane the night before and the boys are already busy...

Monday April 23, 2012: TWOverview


     The boys only got into NYC yesterday and already they are very busy!! They had no time to rest as today they had a lot to do. But I guess that's the hard life of being in a boy band, and famous, and loved by everyone, and being ridiculously hot and adorable!!

But anyway the boys started off the day live in studio with Elvis Duran!!

@JayTheWanted: Yep I guess that me up then! Nearly 5AM here in New York and I have no clue what time it is at home #IgnoranceIsProbablyBliss

Here's a picture of the boys getting ready for the show and during it:

It was a hilarious show and if you missed it or were on the wrong channel for 15 minutes like me you can listen to it here (link) as well as view some pictures!!

Oh and just mentioning the boys NUMBER ONE FAN got to join them in the studio!! She's the beautiful one front and center ;)

     And if a radio show early in the morning wasn't enough the boys headed over to Vh1 to tape 'Morning Buzz'!! It was quite hilarious and if you missed it please check it out here (link). If you watch 'Morning Buzz' you'll also get the special treat of an acoustic version of Chasing the Sun with the addition of an interview with the boys and of course the boys acting well...exactly like themselves. Some of the comments they say this time though and the things they do are just...well, them. And if you add on the fact that they are probably running off of no sleep, then...enough said. If you love the boys you'll understand why I'm at a loss of words to describe how they were acting today. Anyway here is a picture of them before the show...

     But the boys day isn't over just yet!! next they were off to a special meet and greet with fans run by 92.3 NOW Radio!! The winners who were the lucky caller number 92 to the radio station (I was 89) got to talk and take photos with the boys!! You can view the photos here (link) or just look at this beautiful photo of the boys from the event here...

     Annnd the boys still weren't done for the day, because at 3PM ET they did a live stream Q&A with Billboard where they answered out questions for a half our!! So much work today boys!! If you missed the Q&A just click here to check it out and see if your question was asked (link).

     The day still wasn't over...the boys also threw a special album release party for fans in NYC at 7:00PM (link).  They are really dedicated to their fans and treat us so well. I just really respect them.

Special CHASING THE SUN updates:


- Chasing the Sun album preorder was available for all UK fans today. So if you haven't already order your copy now!! (link) It also not only includes Chasing the Sun but three other tracks as well!!

- Chasing the Sun MUSIC VIDEO will premier for the first time Tuesday on MTV at 7:55PM EST and then on VEVO for the UK and the rest of the world Wednesday at 1:55AM!!!

And after making us trend #ChasingTheSunVideo and getting it to a worldwide trend. The boys gave us a special little look at Chasing the Sun behind the scenes!! You can watch it here (link). Hope you enjoy!! i think it is going to be such a badass video!!

     Still enjoying his Viddy app Siva Kaneswaran uploaded a new video which you can see here (link)

     Now if you thought today was crazy enough lets add the fact that Glad You Came just went DOUBLE PLATINUM!!! Trending world wide as it should be was#GYCDoublePlatinum CONGRATS BOYS!!!

Oh and by the way...THE WANTED US EP ALBUM IS OUT ON ITUNES!!! Go and buy it online or in stores and get it to number one!! Enjoy and I can't wait to hear Satellite!! (link)

Back in NYC!!

Sunday April 22, 2012: TWOverview


     The boys are back in NYC!! And from the looks of Jay's tweet always traveling on planes might not be as fun as we all think it is...

I've decided if I could have one superpower, it would be teleportation. Not looking forward to ANOTHER flight. That or super-strength.

I still think it beats going to work in an office or worse...school!! Anyway as Nath was on the plane he needed to stay updated on his 'football' scores so he used the best source of information... his fans...

On the flight now!! Be sure to let me and @MaxTheWanted know the footie scores :) have a good day!

      And when the boys plane touched down like always they were greeted by the wonderful TWFanmily!! I wish I was there and I'm sad I missed it but I heard the meeting with the boys at the airport was great!!!

The boys seemed to have enjoyed it too...

- @NathanTheWanted: Just landed in NYC!! :)

- @JayTheWanted: And everyone who turned up in the rain to give is a big fat welcome to NY, you make my life! (& you UK lot who gave us a big fat goodbye!)

- @TomTheWanted: Nice to see everyone at JFK. Your all top! X

- @SivaTheWanted: New York .. New York!! Thanks for comin to see us at the airport!xx

- @thewantedmusic: Thank you to those who greeted us as we left home and arrived in NYC! Off to rehearsals now

Mr. Forgetful Tom Parker also may have lost his bank card again...

Think I've lost another bank card... #investinawallet

     The boy's US manager also announced some exciting news today!! Here are his tweets...

people know GLAD YOU CAME by THE WANTED well the EP will show the other songs are even better. #2DAYS until The EP hits stores! thanks and the CHASING THE SUN video which airs in 2 days also is one of the best videos i have seen in a while. great story line

The EP is only two days away and the premier of CHASING THE SUN in two days also?! I'm ecstatic, I can't wait!!!

     Siva also discovered the Viddy app. These are his videos...they are kind of hilarious and make you love Siva even more... (link: video 1) (link: video 2)

Siva's tweet: #sivasaturday people!!! Let's get naked!....just kiddin :)

The Boys are home!!

So this is Friday...

Friday April 20, 2012: TWOverview

     So the boys are back home, but it seems that they didn't have the best fight and are still jet lagged.

-@NathanTheWanteed Have got the worst back and neck pain from the flight -_-

- @NathanTheWanted Have not slept at all ....

-@JayTheWanted Jet lagged has punched me in the testes & I've been up since 4AM- luckily @PaoloMcDo is up early for work so I've got a texting buddy!

-@NathanTheWanted nope, I have just gone over the 24 hour mark ...

Nath also teased the TWFanmily a little about some exciting news for UK fans...

Everyone make sure you are on @thewantedmusic page at 11am for some news just for the UK and ireland ... Just cause we have missed you ;)

But not all of the band members were on the same page *hint* *hint* Tom...

@NathanTheWanted what's the big news from @thewantedmusic ? Lol

     Guess he didn't read his emails like Nath. But anyway the big news for the UK is that the boys will be preforming Chasing the Sun Monday May 7th live on Britain's Got Talent!! It will be the first time it is preformed in the UK!!

     Also the boys will be competing in MTV's Battle Of  The Boy Bands starting Monday April 23!! The first round will begin Monday and end Thursday so lets make sure the boys move through!! You can find out information about the competition here (link) and the view the boys reasons for why you should vote here (link)***

     Nareesha also posted a picture of her and the beautiful Siva Kaneswaran...

I love her tweet that goes with it: Me and my douche @sivathewanted

Nareesha also updated us with a picture of her from the playboy mansion:

Siva Kaneswaran she is defiantly a keeper and better than any playboy bunny.

     We all know how Jay writes becaus ehe sends out the mailer every week, but here is a look at Nathan's blog post for 4Music (link). I loved it, but I did spot some grammatical errors and run on sentences. Just saying.

     Mr. George also spent some time with his family today like Nath. He tweeted this during lunchtime...

Cant beat lunch at my nan and grandads! #sogoodtobehome

How cute it he!! I have to say all these boys especially Max really care about their family and friends!!

One more thing before I go PLEASE SIGN this twitition made by @TheWantedUS for the boys to preform outside the today show!!  (SIGN NOW!!)

Thank you to who ever reads this blog.

"I think its cause we weren't wearing seatbelts."

Hi we're The Wanted and we've just been punk'd...

Thursday April 19, 2012: TWOverview


Although today is #ThusJay, the boys posted the #WantedWednesday flip and sent out the mailer today!!

     If you haven't see the flip you can watch it here (link) it's a new one showing the boys time in Canada and Minneapolis. Also if you still haven't received your mailer, you can look here on @TheWantedUS website where they were kind enough to post it (link)!!!

     Special note about the mailer!! After 5 weeks of waiting I finally received my first mailer today!! Better late then never and I wasn't even expecting it so when I found out I received it, it defiantly made my day!!

     Coming back to the worldwide trend #TWBackInTheUK the boys arrived in London at 6:28 AM EDT. As soon as the plane touched down the boys were eager to share their excitement...

- @NathanTheWanted We are home!!! :D

- @MaxTheWanted Great to see all you lovely lot at the airport! X  Cant beat a bit of good old british grey weather!#nicetobehome

- @TomTheWanted The wanted are back!

- @JayTheWanted Thank a million to everyone welcoming us home at the airport! It was nice to see some familiar faces (and new ones too) you babes!

-@SivaTheWanted Home sweet home!!! Now someone get me some tea bags lol

     Besides the fact that the boys were on MTV's Punk'D today (talk about that in a little bit), a lot was going on on twitter!!

Tweeting more often than they have in the past couple of days (I guess they aren't as busy right now as they take time to relax at home) Nath started off the day of tweets and pictures by thanking fans for his birthday wishes...

Thanks for all of the awesome birthday cards and gifts from everyone who came to see us at the airport! It's good to be home! :) x

To farther update us on their night with the Playboy bunnies the guys tweeted this picture of them claiming it was a "dream come true." As I expect it would be for any boy their age, because it wouldn't be normal if they didn't brag.

We were also graced today with pictures of Nareesha and Martin at The Voice!!

I'm happy to see some pictures from The Voice, but I have to admit I'm still waiting on the boy's picture with ADAM LEVINE!!! I mean come on boys when is that picture going to be released!! But I guess for now I can deal with this sexy picture of Siva, Jay and the kids backstage...

By the way has anyone seen these new pictures of Angelina Jolie in LA??

     Did you notice the man in the background? IT'S BIG KEV, the boys head of security!!! Bet the paparazzi didn't realize that they were getting a little piece of The Wanted when they took a picture of Angie. Congratulations on your photo bomb Big Kev!! You are truly legend. Although I bet you were completely surprised when you saw her. "Wait is that Angelia Jolie walking in font of me as I step out for a cigarette?"

Lastly before the big news of the night...

Where are The Wanted update: Nath will be heading back to his home town, Gloucester tomorrow to
spend time with the family. He responded this little sister's welcome home tweet...

@JessSykes96 thanks jess!! Shall be picking you up from school tomorrow!! :) x

Isn't he just the sweetest big brother ever!! I'd say I want him as my big brother, but that would be a little awkward given the fact I'm in love with him...

Nath also tweeted this about his return home to his hometown...

Gig for friendly people in suits done, now off to bed for an early start as I'm off home to farmland!!!

Finally THE BIG EVENT OF THE DAY!!! The Wanted stared on MtV Punk'd today!!!!

   And it was hilarious!! The boys were accused of stealing a ten year old girl!! You can watch the boys part in the show here in case you missed it (link). And since on the episode you didn't get to see the boys whole reaction to the prank, MTV posted it on their site (link).

   Although Max, Siva and Jay did not have abig part in the prank you have to admit we got some perfect line / moments with Tom that made up for it...

Cop: You don't know why we pulled you over.

Tom: 

I'm dying right now. Can't handle and the best part is that Tom was dead serious with his response!!

My other favorite part was what the cop said to Tom:

Cop: You gotta slow it down. I don’t understand a word you are saying right now. Do your best you can to lose the accent.

I almost peed my pants!!

Also this part wasn't in the episode but it was in the preview which you can watch here...(link)

Cop: I don't understand what do you guys do?

Tom: we're singers

Cop: I think you're a liar

Tom: We're a boy band

Cop: Do you shave your chest?

Tom: *Looks down at chest*

This episode was just amazing and also Baby Nath wasn't acting like such ababy in this episode!! He was pretty bad ass!! 

But then being the cutie that he is he practically re tweeted every post about him being a man and tough...

;) RT @TheWantedCAN: People call@NathanTheWanted the baby of the group, but boy he's one tough cookie :p #TWOnPunkd@thewantedmusic

and he rubbed it in Toms face...

So take it you all saw @tomthewanted nearly shed a tear on punk'd??!

How adorable and precious is he?!

   So besides telling you I tried to win a radio contest and lost because I was caller number 89 when I had to be 92 to win a meet and greet with the boys (I cried my eyes out...jk but I was close!) I guess that Is all for today!!

Hope you enjoyed!!

-Jill

P.S. Sorry this is 2 days late...I was just really busy. But better late then never!!
