Well there was one time and louis walsh found 5 great boys and created Westlife. Now they are 4. I see them very hot, smart guys and also talented in singing especially Mark Feehilly and Shane Filan. They have written and recorded by their own over 30 songs. They also have done covers. What's the problem hat's the difference of doing a cover or getting a new melody and a song written from a songwritter and learn it. What' the difference between this? Not Elvis wrote his own songs and not Frank Sinatra and no other band from the last decade wrote their songs. Westlife sing to their concerts live also they sing songs that not many boybands can ever sing like Billie jean. Tell me what's the problem with you. Is it because they have 13 UK No.1's? This is not because they do covers cause their first 3 singles were not covers and went to no.1 and most of their No.1's are not covers ( 8/13 ) and most of their singles are not covers ( 13/20 ). I wanna hear your problems. Also Westlife never said anything bad for anyone and for any other artist.

anyone that cares? No

Cause I am true that's why.

Charis people have a right to dislike Westlife if they want to, no matter how much you explain why they're good, you're not going to change anyones mind unfortunately.

Since when have they wrote and released 30 songs? You informed us before that they wrote some b-side but not their singles.

 

Don't compare jokes like Westlife to the likes of Elvis and Sinatra. They may not have written their own songs but they are both legends. -_-

 

If you are asking what is wrong with Westlife we will be here all day :lol:

What if they write B-sides. They are songs. Good songs if you want to listen to them. They wrote one single, they wrote 8 songs from world of our own, 2 from coast to coast, 1 from unbreakble, and one from face to face. = 12 shane and bryan also wrote some songs for other artists. Also they wrote many B-sides. Kelly it's different to dislike one band and different to hate them.

I don't wanna make them all like westlife. I know it's impossible. Not even beatles where loved by everyone. Westlife have a big fanbase and that's enough for them.

A fan base full of old people and deluded greeks

Cut it out a bit Josh, you don't like Westlife, fair enough, but no need to insult him yeah? ;)

The (rumoured) next two Westlife singles.

 

I really fear that these could be their 14th & 15th UK #1 Hits.....

Charis I don't hate Westlife, but I dislike them, but I think your wasteing your time on this one. As much as you'll disagree with me on this one; Westlife's like target group is mainly teenage / pre-teen girls, and there are are hardly any on here.

 

 

I'll list all the things I see wrong with them...

 

Endless cover versions (just about all of them are bland, boring and samey)

Average singers at best

They never dare to try anything new and they always stick to the same sound to play it safe

All the stage presence of 4 corpses when they perform

And top cap it all off, they are THE most boring and uninspiring boyband ever, have very little talent and would struggle to cut it as karaoke singers had they not been given the huge promotional push by Louis Walsh

 

Just my opinion of course though...

Not sure about that anymore. <_< I think a majority of their fans are old ladies who listen to Cliff Richard and the like -_-

Well said Aly ^_^

Miming to a ballad on Record of the Year was one embarrassing problem and only one of them actually sings to add to the reasons above.

 

Fans like you who keep going on about them in EVERY thread also doesn't help -_-

Sorry Kelly -_-

I can't say they are boring as they still have number ones. Are their fans machines that can't get bored?

No, they're typically middle aged housewives who have a Westlife CD playing in the background while they do the housework.

Doing cover versions is a cheap way of making money and having a hit record. Westlife have released so many covers now, its almost beyond a joke. Its more credible when an artist writes and produces their own material.

They have written some covers. Did backstreet boys did what they did? Only because westlife learn an old song and release and not a produced new song doesn't mean they are bored of working.
