We all know that the relationship between certain members of The Wanted and certain members of One Direction has been kinda bumpy to say the least. But The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, one of the members who has avoided the feud completely, says that he wouldn't rule out working with the One Direction boys sometime in the future whether it be a collaboration or even a tour.
"You never know, you never know! I think with Backstreet Boys and New Kids [On The Block], that's really cool what they did, and there's been some great collaborations. You never know," Nathan told MTV News this week.
Nathan even says that as far as he's concerned, there's no more feud between the two groups anymore, they've both put that behind them.

"I think both ourselves and One Direction are, as far as I'm concerned, whatever kinds of words were said since I wasn't really part of it, think it kind of [went away now,] which is awesome," he said. "I think it's the best people really concentrate on the success that we're both having and how well [we're doing,] which is always great."
Couldn't agree more, Nathan! Let's focus on the music and celebrate each bands massive success. Speaking of music, Nathan says that their goal is to make their music stand on its own and explained why he thinks both The Wanted and One Direction are here to stay thanks to "radio hits."
"I think ourselves and One Direction have done really well to make sure the music stands up on its own," he said. "And I think with boy bands it's very easy for people to say 'Oh, they sell a lot of posters. Oh, the kids buy it because they like the look of the guys.' I think it's all down to the music and as much as people can put it all down to, it is all down to the girls because they're amazing, but I think it also helps we've got really great songs and we're really lucky to work with such amazing writers."
But as we all know, in today's world of crazy gossip and rumors, Nathan says that tabloid headlines tend to distract people from the music and their true personalities.
"It's very easy because we tend to draw attention to our personal lives," Nathan said. "We all try and keep as normal and such as possible. You're more likely to find us in a local pub than any nightclub. But obviously the only time you do see us in the press is coming out of a major nightclub. Most of the time, we like to sit in at the local [pub] having a couple drinks with friends and family."
Perhaps the two bands will connect with each other at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night (August 11) where One Direction will be performing "Best Song Ever" along with being nominated for multiple awards, including Choice Music Group along with The Wanted. We shall see.
