The above song 'Rainbow Zephyr' by Northern Irish band Relish, Westlife didn't directly cover word for word but instead changed lyrics from and kept the melody. It was the lead single off their 4th studio album Turnaround. The band pushed for this to be the lead single as well despite Simon Cowell telling them it's not a hit which he was slighty correct on as it was their first song not to surpass 100k at that time and peaked at 4, spending 7 weeks in the Top 75.

Will go to Eminem this time. Don't think I originally minded it at first but it's not his finest song.

Eminem again.

 

I remember Rainbow Zephyr, it's a good track. I suppose Westlife thought they were big enough to smash with anything at the time and came a bit unstuck with Hey Whatever (Bop Bop Baby had only got to No.5 in 2002 mind). I actually appreciated the change in direction and thought it was a shame when they immediately returned to uninspiring note for note covers of well known songs with Mandy, but the public lapped it up, so Simon was right all along.
