Walsh surprised at Westlife's success
- Artists:
- Westlife »
Louis Walsh is amazed that Westlife have remained popular across the course of seven albums, according to BreakingNews.ie. Yes, the boyband really have released seven albums.
Walsh's initial expectations for his prettyboy outfit were rather less than optimistic: he expected them to last for a couple of years, only.
"It should be all over for a boyband at this stage," said the sometime X-Factor judge, "but Westlife are getting bigger. They're going to be working even harder this year. They're set to record their eighth album after the tour and the aim is to break new territories like Canada where they'll be working in June."
Perhaps the club-happy Canadians will mistake the four still-fresh-of-face fellas for harp seals and do the right thing, eh?

sliced my wrists at the first one. they made 6 more after. that's crazy.
why is he surprised?
esp when there's worse shit out there doing well.
no there isnt
there genuinely isnt anything worse than westlife. they are bad on every level.
I suppose it is strange...
...considering they've followed every other boy band rule...you know, one leaves, another one comes out...textbook stuff
and yet
the world of music would be actually be completely the same if any individual member of westlife had never been born.
fancy that.
...
westlife are just wrong
I watched a 'documentary' about them recording country songs in Nashville once.
And they were actually quite funny blokes, seemed reasonable people and liked a beer.
The fact that their day job makes me vomit is besides the point. But they seem to do it for the money. Thats the point of work though....
But sweet jesus the music is bad.
It's all about categories
Listen there's music, there's poetry, there's even Anthony and the fucking Johnsons, and then there's poster fodder for pre-teens. In the latter category, West-life do just fine. The only question is how they managed to fing their way onto the news section of DiS. Sat nav on the blink?
Westlife are great
I think Westlife are one of the greatest bands around. They have 14 number ones to date how many bands can say they have 14 number ones to their names. so stop with all the crap and leave them alone and stop saying bad things about them. I am going to see them in two weeks that's how great I think they are.
westlife rule
i agree with you, how can any one say they are rubbish!! i bet no one can name an artist/band that have had 14 number ones as wel as 4 record of the year as well as bein in the guiness book of records 3 times for their success and most recently have been award for having the most amount of people see them at da MEN arena than any other band!!!!!!! so go on tell me their rubbish but rember you would be lying!!!!!
