Not big, not clever and not Wanted

Male Saturdays, The Wanted, having just reached the No.1 spot in the official UK chart have provided us loyal fans with another musical gem. 


The boys (there's one for everyone - unless you find talent more attractive than nasally vocals) have given MTV a sneak preview of new track In Your Heart with a live performance. My good friend BethDickens (who clearly doesn't like paying for her recording software) has ingeniously captured this video of the momentous event direct from MTV's website;
It seems a shame that whilst able to hear your heart they are unable to hear my cries for the big asian one to take his top off so I can compare his abs with those of JLS's Marvin Humes.

2:29 - 2:35 provides the best moment of joy for me - give that section a replay



The problem with this song though isn't the band's singing ability, it's the concept of the song; Their last release All Time Low utilised the fact the band comprises of anonymous type fillers by giving each member their own four lines and cycling this throughout the song. The Saturdays use the same concept to good effect. However with Heartbreaker or whatever the fuck it's called, The Wanted are attempting a Take That/Westlife style that they can't match. Fair play to the boys though, they'll get high in the charts again on the back of their band identity and have the chance to ruin it all with a third single

Quick tip - play the video twice at the same time, with one on a 2 minute delay - during the choruses it'll give you a better idea of what the studio release will sound like
