First we had Moves Like Jagger, and now we have Walks Like Rihanna. The five-piece band from UK have just released the video for their latest single that also hit the web recently, and the end result isn't that great. First about the song. When I heard the title, I thought it was some kind of a joke. But it's not. Unfortunately. The guys sing about a girl who can't sing, can't dance, doesn't have anything specific that makes her stand out, but she walks like Rihanna, and that's what gets all the guys. I don't get it. Since when is Rihanna's walk so sexy? And since when is she known for her walk? She can't really dance, and yes, sometimes her vocals aren't top notch, so that part can be applied to her. Also, the rhythm of the song is up-beat, but still a bit boring. All in all, a very mediocre song. And then we come to the video which is a parody of some of the most famous videos made by boy bands in the past. They parody Backstreet Boys, and NSYNC among others. At the end of the video we even get a bit of PSY. OK, cool, but what does that have to do with Rihanna and that sexy walk? The director of all of these videos is a girl who they are singing about, and while she is supposed to be smokin' hot, she really isn't. I really like some of The Wanted's songs, but this one, I'll skip.
