Big Time Rush, the boy band who found fame on the Nickelodeon series of the same name, is calling out The Wanted.  The group's Carlos Pena tells "MTV News" the British fivesome "kind of copied" their concept for their most recent video for "Like Nobody's Around."


In it, Big Time Rush recreates some classic moments in boy band history in multiple time periods, copying the dance moves of groups like the New Kids on the Block and 'N Sync.  The Wanted seem to have had the same thing in mind for their "Walks Like Rihanna" video, which came out more than a month after Big Time Rush's clip.

The British group also parodies videos from the past using the same choreography in their video.  Pena adds that the Wanted's version is "kind of almost exactly" the same as theirs, but that he likes their song nonetheless.
