America On The March - Bob Sharples

Advantages: Its a great song and it was for charity
Disadvantages: A cover version

...A song originally written by Billy Joel, Westlife re-released it on the 5th of March 2001 for the charity Comic Relief. This is the first uptempo song westlife released and its still a song that when westlife perform it gets them and the audience up dancing. One of the great things about this song is that members Kian and Nicky get to sing individually aswell as the other 3, which doesnt happen often. The video to this is a fun video. The westlife lads are working in a cafe called the blondes and you get to see them having a laugh and joking around. They even take the mick out of themselves about getting beat by Bob the Builder which not many band would do. Claudia Shiffer also stars in the video aswell as some other actors. Its a great song to listen to and a great video to watch.... Read review

...• Intro • I realise most of you who read this review (if anyone does!!!) will probably be saying Bob Who??? So it may be surprising to know that he wrote this, his first album back in 1987 (which only got released in 1992) and has earned Bob an RIAA gold record for the 1.6+ million sales • Meet Bob Rivers • I started listening to Bob Rivers a few years ago when a friend of mine introduced me to the music of 'Weird' Al Yankovic and I saw Bob done songs of a similar style. Bob and his 'comedy camp' started off doing parodies of Christmas songs with this, his debut album. He decided to put a twist on all the popular Christmas carols/songs by doing his own lyrics to the tunes. Not content with only 'twisting' Christmas songs, Bob has also done many Parodies of pop songs including 'What If God Smoked Cannabis' (Joan Osburne's What If God... Read review
