It’s easy to compare One Direction and The Wanted. Both five-man boy bands are from abroad, have hot singles, hot stars and fans who are hot for them.

But Thursday night at the MTV Video Music Awards, the two distinguished themselves from one another a bit, One Direction performing and winning an award (earning them kisses from presenter Katy Perry) and The Wanted engaging in some dirty talk on stage with Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson.

So which group of guys strikes your fancy? Is it the clean-cut One Direction (above), with their casual-cool red carpet looks (three of them in Converse sneakers) and perfectly coiffed hair? Or the more mature guys of The Wanted (below), who hit the carpet in tailored Tommy Hilfiger suits? Vote in our poll below!

One Direction looks best at the vmas, and also The Wanted….but I choose better One Direction, (I’m not judging)

I hate the drama! things like this causes more drama between Directioners and TWfanmily. to me, The Wanted were dressed better so I voted for them. (But Zayn and Niall’s hair is the best I’ve ever seen on a guy). And please stop saying that The Wanted is basically nothing compared to One Direction because that’s not true. Both are very talented. Yes, One Direction won all those awards, but they have more fans. The Wanted doesnt need an award to prove theyre talented.
