 ... impressive * They survived, despite losing Bryan McFadden * They have lasted ten years, not bad for a 'boyband' * Diana Ross agreed to sing with them for a cover, if she agreed to do that, she must think they are good! * Their cover of 'Uptown Girl' is possibly on a par with Joel's original and has a better music video * They are good looking The bad: * 'You Raise Me Up' is sickly, no arguments there * They love to sit on stools and sing, then get up for the last chorus * Mark seems to put on weight each time they...more

Oh no - here we go again - another boyband and yet more of an invasion of the charts by re-released oldies. Thank goodness these bands tend to be two minute wonders and are gone as soon as they arrive! Their songs are pretty much the same - as I suppose can be said about a lot of today's offerings. The dull, repetitive, unoriginal renditions tend to be supported by a growing trend of female under twelves - was I ever like that - God I hope not - how embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway to finish the way I started - if you like their songs BUY THE ORIGINALS ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Just another Boyzone? (168 words)

Many people had written off Irish band Westlife before they really had a chance to prove themselves, but have they? Well, I've had this album for about 6 months, and still haven't brought myself to listen to the unreleased tracks (apart from one interesting interpretation of Extreme's "More than Words"). If you're a fan of Irish cheesy pop, then this is suitable for you. If you're looking for quality musicianship, then you're in the wrong place. The songs themselves aren't that bad, it's just the fact that they didn't write them and can't perform them that puts people off. If it's just the music you're after, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Westlife in general: Are they as good as the Beatles? (231 words)

Westlife equalled Beatles record of seven consecutive number one with the song 'My love'. I can't believe that they have achieved the record, no offence to Westlife but they were no way near The Beatles they never will be. They are just a copy of Boyzone who have gone down the pan somewhat, what do we expect they are manager by Ronan Keating. I can't believe the similarities its like they have taken all Boyzones fans because they have fresher faces and of course there from Ireland, which helps. If you think back in ten years will you remember 'Westlife' the simple answer is no, yet we remember the Bealtles no problem. I ...  Read the complete review

Why do I dislike Westlife? I have nothing against the band members personally. I'm sure there great people once you get to know them. I wish Brian and Kerrie every success with their little one on the way. They can sing, at least I assume they can sing, I don't think I've seen them perform live. Some of them can even, shock, horror, plays musical instruments. Women love them. Your kid sister, your girlfriend, your mother and even your granny thinks there good. Even my Dad thinks there fantastic and wants the CD. Maria Carey also thinks their great. By doing a duet with them she guaranteed herself a number 1 single, which she hasn't done on her own in the ...  Read the complete review

First of all let me tell everyone that I DON'T LIKE THIS BAND!!! So I can warn you now that this option is not going to be full of love for this band so if you feel your judgement will be impaired to make a reasonable comment on this option then stop reading now!! Well I have to say that I feel that this band is just another attempt for a 'Boyzone' I mean haven't we heard enough of 'Boyzones' songs without having a copy band attempt the same type of music and style?? I mean how many worthless bands do we need to shell out every year in order to make people feel happy, I mean who cares if they are good looking or if they dress right. To ...  Read the complete review
