When I think about Westlife sometimes I just can't think of the words to describe them. Luckily today I can. So here goes... Westlife well they aren't exactly ground-breakingly original are they? I mean well we have had Boyzone, Take That etc. so well you couldn't expect too much because they are just another manufactured robot group. But when it got to their 7th single going to number 1 I simply felt sick to the stomach. Little squealing girls who faint at the thought of a fake tanned, make-up smothered, non-talent group had done it 7 times and now it is 8 they had bought enough to make them Number 1 so many times.

Let's think of it as pros and cons situation. Well, I am can't think of any pros at the moment so let's delve straight into the cons. Well they have no talent is as good a place to start as any, they were put together because they look pretty and they knew that they would get silly little girls going mad over them. All of their songs sound the same, they are all sickly sweet love songs which leaves you thinking how they don't get sick of them. They have immature attitudes, they are not worthy of their fame and the fact is there are much more talented bands out there that just don't get the appreciation they deserve just because they play guitars and don't plaster themselves in make-up and do crap dance routines.

They prance around the stage and from what I hear they repeatedly go off for costume changes which makes the 'gig' seem more like a pantomime. They really do make a mockery of the music industry that their bandwagon support will just drop them as they always do as soon as they turn 23 and they will be onto the next sick little boy band. At the end of the day they are nothing more than pretty faces which put themselves everywhere just to sell more and they are merely make-up and hair gel and underneath all that is left is sad people which earn money by being told exactly what to do and they mis-lead younger-generations.
