March 19, 201411 yr Thanks, Do you think he will stay top 10? I doubt it, but who knows - it is hard to predict these things. However, I do think Top 15, even Top 20 would be great for Kian, considering how rushed and unplanned this album is.

March 20, 201411 yr he is a poor mediocre singer.. Shane and Mark are the real singers.. :P I wouldn't say poor, he just needs songs that suit his voice. Of course Mark and Shane are out of his league, but Nicky and Kian were in Westlife for a reason, they all harmonized wonderfully together.
March 21, 201411 yr This album will perform similarly to albums by Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud.
March 21, 201411 yr I'm listening to the album right now and it is seriously not bad. Sounds like you had high expectations. Nicky and Kian were in Westlife for a reason, they all harmonized wonderfully together. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reason though. This album will perform similarly to albums by Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud. 'Perform' is maybe too strong a word to use then :P. (For the record I think it'll outsell them by quite a bit) To balance out the troll-y posts, I bear good news :D. Looks like the album may go top 10, having risen to #9 in today's midweeks. Also it debuted at #2 in Ireland ahead of George Michael and Kylie.
March 21, 201411 yr Sounds like you had high expectations. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reason though. Quite the opposite actually - I didn't have high expectations at all since he recorded this in 3-4 weeks and it is full of covers. I'm glad he is doing so well, I can't believe he charted higher than Shane :) Well, what do you think was the reason Kian was in the band? If you think he was in the band just because he was cute, you are wrong - he was known for keeping everything together in the band. Plus, he along Shane and Mark were original members. All I'm saying is, of course Mark and Shane were superior singers, but I wouldn't say Nicky and Kian can't sing at all. Edited March 21, 201411 yr by zeze88

I just found your 'seriously not bad' comment funny :D. Whatever logistical flair he possessed wasn't the reason he was in the group though! I don't claim to know the ins and outs of Westlife's formation but considering the fact that their fans have hardly ever heard a solo from himself or Nicky, (and considering the fact that they are both blond and good-looking) it's fair to assume that their looks were the main criteria for them becoming members. I never said they don't have any singing/harmonising ability though :). Anyway, I think it's admirable that Kian is making the most of his increased public profile of late so fair play to him for potentially bagging a top 10 album. Edited March 21, 201411 yr by Noahspike

I thought you were joking, but I wasn't dead certain, you should have put smiley or something :) Don't get me wrong, I know that one of the reasons he stayed IS because he is good looking, but I'd like to think it wasn't JUST because of that. And to be fair, it is not like fans couldn't hear a solo from them - they had a fair amount of it on concerts during Medley's - Nicky carried I Get Around and Kian Great Balls of Fire in the first GH tour. I think management was just lazy, they didn't want to bother with finding songs that could work for Nicky and Kian when they had powerhouses Mark and Shane. The perfect example who they all could carry the song rather nicely is Butterfly Kisses where everyone had a solo part. Even You Make Me Feel. So i don't believe it couldn't have been different, they were just lazy. By the way, I will say that sometimes I truly wonder how Mark stayed in the band when he was so off key in the early days, the first tour is cringe-worthy :D I guess Simon and Louis saw what could become of him because he was getting better and better from GH tour, now he is incredible singer.

March 23, 201411 yr Kian is officially #9 in the UK. By the way, the other day, when he was asked if he considered doing an album of original music he's written, he said If he gets the opportunity, he will write all the songs. Edited March 23, 201411 yr by zeze88
