NEW YORK — "Oh my god, they're so normal!" one fan declared as she caught a glimpse of the Wanted leaving their hotel this morning. It was one of many exciting fan encounters the band would have on Tuesday (April 24), as they were out in New York City promoting their self-titled U.S. debut EP and the release of their new video, "Chasing the Sun."
MTV News was on hand with the guys in the early hours Tuesday while they chilled in the "Today" show green room chatting, eating breakfast and goofing around with a fat cat and a dog named Ted, both of whom were on the show today as well.
"We just arrived and we saw a 40-pound cat crawling across the floor," group member Siva Kaneswaran told MTV News about the early morning wakeup call and the show's other guest, a cat who is currently having his own moment chasing the sun. "This is the kind of stuff that happens to the Wanted. It's too early for this," he continued. "There's lots of big stuff happening today and were gonna do some crazy things."
Before they performed "Chasing" and their hit single "Glad You Came" on the morning news show, Siva explained how the guys prep for an appearance on a show like "Today."
"We prepared for this show this morning by having cups of tea and Cheerios, good for the heart," Siva, who declared he is not a morning person, shared. "Basically, just psych each other, gaze into each other's eyes and get excited, and that's what gets us through the day."
The "Today" show was the first of many media appearances the Wanted will make on Tuesday, leading up to their "MTV First" airing tonight at 7:53 p.m. ET on MTV. They will sit down with MTV News' Sway Calloway to debut and chat about the "Chasing" video.
Immediately following the MTV premiere, the fivesome are hanging around for an additional 30-minute live Q&A session with Sway on MTV.com. Fans can get in on the action by submitting video or text questions via MTV.com or @MTVNews on Twitter, using the hashtags #MTVFirst or #AskTheWanted.
MTV News will be on hand with the guys all day, so stay tuned for more Big Apple dispatches.
