Newly Obsessed

Let's discuss my new obsession: The Wanted.

It's a mild problem how much I appreciate/love their music (and them). Actually, the real problem is that I've managed to blend my obsession with them and my obsession with height such that I know all their heights....

Currently, I am at a tournament for speech and debate (forensics), and my teammate and I are rooming together, which has been a great experience because not only is she awesome, but I introduced her to the wonders of The Wanted! Every morning we celebrate our love for the British/Irish boy band by singing "Glad You Came" in the speech van as a warm up :)

Here's their youtube channel. If you haven't heard them, you really should.

Honestly, listen to everything by them that you can, not just "Glad You Came"; there is a reason I claim to be obsessed! Other than the fact that they're adorable, they're pretty talented, which is a breath of fresh air for the music industry. They definitely get my vote over One Direction--which, don't get me wrong, is talented--but One Direction is too young, and their sound is too stereotypically "boy band." Siva, Tom, Jay, Max, and Nathan have a catchy boy band feel with a sound that might not normally be attached to a boy band.

I like 'em a lot.
