Posted February 24, 200718 yr COSTUME changes, pyrotechnics, a New Kids on the Block cover and boy band dance moves - welcome to 2007, Westlife style. Though boy bands are no longer the chart force they once were, this group of four Irishmen entertained a small but enthusiastic crowd at the Entertainment Centre. An early technical glitch – Shane's microphone dropped out in during first song Total Eclipse of the Heart – proved there would be no lip syncing embarrassment – a la Ashlee Simpson as the four boys worked their way through covers, old hits and songs from their new The Love Album. The night's highlight was a trip down boy band memory lane where the band paid homage to its predecessors, including New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, Boyzone and Take That though the introduction to the homage wrote former member Brian McFadden out of the Westlife script. Beginning the extended medley with Backstreet's Back and New Kid's on the Block's the Right Stuff, the four Irishmen even had each of the group's dance moves down pat. One of Westlife's biggest hits, their version of Billy Joel's Uptown Girl had people on their feet dancing, while everyone sang along to recent single Raise Me Up. White suits were donned for the encore of Flying Without Wings and a cover of the Better Midler hit The Rose as a shower of sparks brought the show to an end on a down-tempo note, too soon for the cheering crowd.
February 24, 200718 yr Author So they do the Backstreet's Back dance aswell?? :o yeah im soooo shocked i wish it was on youtube because i want to see how they pulled it off and especially nktob "Right Stuff" because new kids were amazing "Fast" dancers back in the day hmmm how did they pull that on off?? :mellow:
February 24, 200718 yr I'd love to see their Everything Changes cover.. i bet they've completely ruined it :rolleyes:
February 26, 200718 yr Link? How do you know they made the songs great if you haven't heard them yet :huh: ?? :P
February 26, 200718 yr Oh when are they just going to p*** off?? And are they EVER going to release a non-cover single again? :rolleyes: They do nothing other than murder others songs. <_<
February 26, 200718 yr Louis is searching for new songs. heaven knows, this man always lying... I Hope so, but i think their next single will be a cover again....
February 26, 200718 yr Louis is searching for new songs. heaven knows, this man always lying... I Hope so, but i think their next single will be a cover again.... But WHY?? Why can't they get people to write them songs?? Why can't Simon and Louis do their job and stop being so lazy?? Flying without wings and World of our own are good pop songs, so what is stopping them from hiring those songwriters again? The only solution is if their fans stop buying their covers, then maybe, just maybe they might put some effort into the music itself. But until then I have no doubt they will just continue to release cover after cover as long as it sells by the million. <_< It must be very annoying for Westlife themselfs to have so little imput. :lol:
February 26, 200718 yr Westlife always do this: take and then murder classic songs and they also put on the worst show ever , thats why i cant stand them. I cant wait til they call it a day. Granddads in white suits have for sure overstayed their welcome in music industry. :puke2: :zzz: Edited February 26, 200718 yr by locott
February 27, 200718 yr It's true that they couldn't conitnue being original for all that years. The quality of their songs would go down for sure. Look at their latest originals. Amazing and Obvious, and Tonight. They are just nice songs but not like World of our own and Fool Again, or if i let you go and flying without wings. I doubt they will release any originals in that wuality again. If the fans stop buying their singles they will split up and don't try get original.
February 27, 200718 yr Author How do you know they made the songs great if you haven't heard them yet :huh: ?? :P I think you qouted the wrong person it charis you should have quoted :P
