Bitter sweet news today for fans of The Wanted as the band announces a new music video for “Glow In The Dark” and that the band will be taking a break after the Word Of Mouth tour(at least they told us they’re taking a break and are still going forward with the tour – Jonas…we’re looking at you).

The band wrote a personal note on their website today to their fans stating they will “take time to pursue personal endeavors.”

“Important Announcement 22 Jan

The Wanted are pleased to announce the release of their new video and single ‘Glow In The Dark’ taken from their November release ‘Word of Mouth’. They are very excited to perform ‘Glow In The Dark’ along with their smash singles ‘I Found You’, ‘Chasing The Sun’, and ‘Glad You Came’, amongst others for their fans on their upcoming Word of Mouth Tour.

This tour will be their last for a while as Tom, Max, Jay, Siva and Nathan have collectively decided to take time to pursue personal endeavours following the tour’s conclusion. The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the future. They thank their fans for their continued love and support and look forward to seeing them on tour.

Throwback Thursday: 2Be3

Leave a comment

If you thought American boy bands were kind of ridiculous back in the day, you haven’t gone looking for 90s boy bands from Europe!  While they all have the same elements that shot Backstreet Boys and NKOTB to the top of our charts, European boy bands did it better…and with an accent!

Let’s focus on the French boy band, 2Be3.

The group of friends came together as 2Be3 in 1996, producing three studio albums and touring Europe until they disbanded in 2001.  They even starred in a television show on a national Francophone network called Pour être libre, or “To Be Free” which ran for 40 episodes. While the whole thing might be in French, its easy to tell how these three friends were superstars in their homeland.  Click here to watch an episode from the show. Too bad we didn’t know about this years ago…we would have moved to France just for them!!!

2Be3 did have one English-language single aptly titled “Excuse My French” and we can’t stop giggling at how ridiculous this all seems now but back in the 90s…the music and the clothes were a big deal!!

Is it just us, or does the one in the middle look like Channing Tatum a little bit?

Jesse McCartney: In Technicolor Part 1

Leave a comment

We’ve been fans of Jesse McCartney and his beautiful soul since his days in Dream Street.  He took a short break from music since the release of Departure, but he’s back with a new EP: In Technicolor Part 1.   The EP includes “Back Together,” which was released over the summer while J Mac was on tour with the Backstreet Boys and has a fun Timberlake-esque vibe to it.

The EP starts with a spacey Drake – sounding intro aptly titled “In Technicolor (Part 1)” that compares finding ‘the one’ to having your black and white world shocked into what else – technicolor!
“Tie The Knot” puts the horns and the funky Timberlake vibe into full force as McCartney swings in wearing a tux (at least we imagine him in a tux) begging “C’mon girl let’s tie the knot!” He really knows how to win our hearts and you can bet we all still day dream about marrying J Mac!

Jesse says this four song EP is just a taste for what he has in store for his full length release. Finally, new J Mac music!!
Now, what do we have to do to get Summerland on Netflix?

In Technicolor Part 1 is available now on iTunes

Don’t forget to follow Jesse on Twitter and Instagram for all the latest updates!

Fangirl Movie Spotlight – Taking 5

Leave a comment

What’s the worst that can happen when Alona Tal and Daniella Monet kidnap The Click Five and make them perform for their school?

Okay so the plot is a bit more complicated than just kidnapping the band but what fangirl DOESN’T dream of keeping their favorite band tied up in the basement until your favorite member falls in love with you?
Devon (Tal) and Gabby (Monet) kidnap the band 5 Leo Rise and force them to play a concert at their school to avoid being shunned to social siberia for till college. In the 91 minute tour de fangirl, Taking 5 takes you on a roller coaster ride and a look into what every fan girl dreams about.

Y’know that dream you keep having during English class where your favorite band comes to your mall and does a signing? It’s your turn and you walk right up to your favorite member and the words start slipping out. Before you know it, the two of you are having coffee and he invites you to watch his concert from backstage.

This is not that dream. That’s basically how every meet & greet goes. Except you would never get that much time to word vomit all over your favorite band.

If you need any more reasons to watch this fangirl masterpiece, Christy Carlson Romano and the dad from High School Musical is in it.
