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!

I love both but I’m gonna have to say THE WANTED looked better… C’MON ONE DIRECTION !

Obviously The Wanted! They actually dressed up and they look super good. Lol at whoever said that they hadn’t hit puberty yet… and at whoever said they lack personality. They’re men and mature, at least compared to 1D, and they have so much personality. They were just really nervous as that was their first time presenting on a huge American award show! These men are definitely not boring ;) And so talented too

It’s too hard to choose, but the The Wanted looked way hotter than One Direction in the VMAs. That means I have to go with The Wanted of course! :)

Whhhaat no doubt the The Wanted win, I mean no hate, but One Directions new hair cuts make them all look the same and they are cute, but The Wanted are HOT!! :)
