Popular boyband The Wanted have compared themselves to classical singer Susan Boyle because they tend to attract a lot of interest from an older demographic. 

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Max George explained that having "mums" on their side is fantastic and they love their older fans:

"A lot of mums like us, Tesco charts – we smash it. We're like the boyband version of SuBo."

Siva Kaneswaren also added that while One Direction may have more teenage girls following them around and screaming at their concerts, they definitely get more male attention:

"There's not much competition with One Direction when it comes to screaming girls. We have a lot more 19-year-old screaming men."

The stars also made their U.S. television debut yesterday, January 10, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and you can watch their exciting performance and brief interview below:
