I’m not sure why anyone comments negatively on the video. In the past they walked along a beach, in a warehouse or in a studio with a wind machine. The video is nice, it has nice effects. None of their videos were ever WOW moments.

 

Thats true, but still walking in a beach was still more interesting that this effect bombing. I also noticed that there were no scenes including them alltogether from a distance shot, only just a couple of centiseconds or so. Most of the shoots were very close to each individually. This caused me some dizziness :P

In other news My hero is on a free fall now so not a chance of it charting :/

Modern, sleek, colourful, animated, young. I don't see anything wrong with the editing since I have watched it in the highest video quality and unlike the cheap Sci fi movies I have watched. Appropriate racing at the speed of light. The lads know they need to do something different now after 22 years. Some fans are not used to very fast and more innovative music videos, they need time for the change. As for me, I am generally a music and a movie fan that's why kinda like different things but Westlife always come first, my loyalty is to them forever.

I agree we shouldn't compare the music now to what it was. Thats like saying, if Tina Turner released a song today, you go "its good but its no Private Dancer or Simply The Best". :D

 

I think both of these new songs are great songs, its because many other reasons the boys aren't lighting up the charts.

 

Also, who knows what the label even tried but maybe they just couldn't achieve what thy wanted. Its not like Hello My Love had a bigger promo, its just that Westlfe came back after 7 years with a bop so even non-WL fans were casually interested.

 

OR, yes, they simply think its not worth bleeding money on it if it won't chart well anyway, I can see some logic behind it to be honest, especially during the pandemic.

 

More of the second reason. For the promotion, this is some kind of a a missed opportunity for the record company to create more hype outside UK and Ireland as many are still not aware that they are back, and that they had the comeback in 2019 just by reading at the comments

I watched the video couple of times and I changed my mind - its not that bad, the effects are nice.

 

I can't wait for the album, I will switch to New Zealand for sure on the 25th :lol:

Westlife will be chatting and performing on The Jonathan Ross Show next Saturday.

I hope they sing Wild Dreams. Anyway apparently the album was supposed to be released on Nov 19 and thats why the jonathan ross show was on the 20th. Still wont be enough maybe to reach the No1 though :(

Where did you hear that abut the album release date?

 

Yeah, I still think there is high chance they will be #3. Abba had huge sales this week and I could see them being on the top, or #2 behind Adele. But who knows, maybe pre-order/tour tickets helped a lot for Westlife, we will see. Even if they end up #3, that is a very good result.

I just remeber it was always set as 19 November in the release schedule, but the jonathan ross show comfirms that. I highly highly doubt Westlife would chart lower than Abba and Ed Sheeran, unless their new album sells really low this time which is my biggest fear. Only big obstacle looks to be Adele especially seeing there is not much momentum for Westlife this time around…. Lets seee. Ed sheeran 2nd week had a 70% decrease, i believe all the acts will have the same.

Interesting article :P

Looks like they know it also :D

I have been saying this since forever that they probably won't get #1. :lol:

 

Unless you mean that mistake about their album being released next week. Don't forget they are the ones who swapped Brian for Nicky so I am sure they are simply incompetent again :lol:

any fellow fan here was able to order any different colour of the album other than the pink one on a normal shipping price? Also the yellow one is not available on amazon to me....

I have the signed green one coming! How much are they wanting to charge you for delivery? The yellow one is showing as £12.99 for me on Amazon.

 

Disappointed that they didn't release another song before the album.

Ageism?

 

No boys that's the music industry.

 

You weren't complaining about late 70s and early 80s bands not being playlisted in Radio 1 at the height of your fame.

Its not ageism but it is definitely some kind of limitation, that can't be denied. I think its because they have a bad reputation, they aren't considered as current or cool, even if Starlight isn't outdated at all.

 

I mean, back in 20002 when they wanted to crack US, they sent World Of Our Own without telling who they are. All stations went crazy for the song but the moment they found out its Westlife, they said they don't need another boyband.

 

As for complaining during their popular days, they couldn't complain about something in the band let alone someone else :lol:

Charis, if you need anything ordered here then sent you, let me know and I will sort. You are a very passionate fan and I don't want you to miss out.

Not sure how/if you can help me but lets talk in private and see what we can do instead of spamming here. Do u have any social media we can talk ? Fb, insta, tweeter?

Good performance on Jonathan Ross' show just now.

 

Parts of it (namely Nicky & Kian's solos & Mark's high notes) sounded very similar to the Strictly performance to me though.

They will be on Radio 2 with Rylan Clark on December 11th.

Do they have a plan to chart high next week? I hope they do. Maybe some new versions of the album and some signed copies. Its gna be tough
