One Direction Vs. The Wanted: New Shot Fired In Boy Band War

The battle of the boy bands wages on, and this time it’s not just the boys of The Wanted and One Direction involved, but their fans as well! Read on for all the details!

To say there is no love lost between the boys of The Wanted and One Direction would be quite an understatement. As the two English boy bands battle it out for supremacy, things continue to grow more and more intense as Nathan Sykes, member of The Wanted, went after a One Direction fan on Twitter on Jan. 2!

The Wanted Takes On Haters

A Twitter user with the handle @maddhatter333 tweeted The Wanted’s official account with a nasty insult about the boys, saying, “@TheWantedMusic I don’t know you give One Direction s**t, you can’t even sing. Glee did a better version of your song than you #yousuck.” Not exactly the nicest thing, but the response she got from the band wasn’t any better.

The band’s official Twitter replied to the hater with, “@maddhatter333 smile, you got a face like a smacked arse…” Wow! The tweet was later deleted from the account, but Nathan quickly tweeted from his personal account, “That awkward moment when you realise you are on the band account instead of your own…” While Nathan’s reply to the hater definitely was not nice, she certainly isn’t an angel in the situation, either.

One Direction Vs. The Wanted: The History

This is just the latest in the ongoing war between the two groups. Max George and Zayn Malik have shared words on Twitter, prompting Max to tell journalists that he would risk arrest to fight the boys of 1D! Then, at the Z100 Jingle Ball on Dec. 7 (which had both groups on the bill), we asked The Wanted who would put on a better show. Siva Kaneswaran replied, “What do you think?! Us!”

Do you think Nathan was out of line or did the hater deserve it, HollywoodLifers?

Ok, the hater was out of line. But really, both bands need to grow some balls and just stop! Really I prefer 1D but really? You don’t see Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson fighting and they both have same style music and such, just like the bands! So really, they just need to stop.

That moment when The Wanted honestly think there a better/bigger band then 1D. Trust be told One Direction came after the wanted but who has broke many records and has beaten the other in SEVERAL contests? One Direction is better (In my opinion and Millions of others). Just because The Wanted came first DOESN’T mean there better in any way! ONE DIRECTION #1 BOYBAND. (p.s does the wanted have a perfume or a movie in the making? ;) didn’t think so)

The Wanted sucks and that’s all there is to it. One Direction will always be better. The only reason why the Wanted stay in the spotlight is because they insult 1D. If they didn’t have that to cling to they’d be back in England singing for change on a corner.

my basic rule of thumb, haters always deserve it. I’m not a fan of the wanted, but I never send hate and those who do get everything that comes to them. However, Nathan would have been better off ignoring it rather than indulging the hate. that’s a little beneath them

The reply he sent is just feeding the (hightly silly) fight… He should have ignored it, or at the very least, attempted to reply more politely.
The issue isn’t whether he sends it from his account or the band account, it’s that he would take such an obvious bait.

Of course the non-fan who sent the first tweet is at fault too, but she is likely a young teenager (not because 1D only has young fans, but because I hope only someone young would send some message like that without realizing it’s idiotic and useless).

Are you kidding me? You like them because they are cuter? How old are you 10?! The Wanted are Men! They are hotter and sexier! Do you seriously want to start comparing vocal abilities? The Wanted will whip 1D’s arse!

He should not have replied to the hater because its kinda un professional by saying such nasty things. if he was truly better then 1D like they all say then he would of just sucked it up.
