...Believe it or not , What About Now is the 27th (!!!) single from Westlife and is taken off their 10th (!!) album Where We Are. The single was released in the United Kingdom on October 23rd 2009 and the digital download version is available to buy from Amazon for £0.73 which I think is excellent value for money. What About Now , is a cover of American rockband Daughtry.
I really like this song and think that it was a great song to have as their 'comeback' ... ...into a beautiful ballad , just like Leona Lewis did with Snow Patrol's Run. Their voices are perfect ; just like male angels! I especially like Mark's voice , as he has such powerful vocals which adds great drama to the song. Mark's high notes towards the end of the song are just so pitch-perfect and spot on that they send shivers down my spine! This track really shows of Shane and Mark's voices. As much as I enjoy listening to them , I think it ...
Advantages: Voices , Disadvantages: Prefered their old songs!
...being 'Forever Is Over'.
Forever Is Over is the sixth single from The Saturdays and taken off their second and latest album Wordshaker. The single was released in the United Kingdom on 5th October 2009 and has earned the band a number two in the charts. Forever Is Over takes the band into a new direction as this a completely different sound to what they have been used to. At first , I thought it reminded me of another song , but then after I realised ... ..., to which I later discovered that this song was in fact actually written for Kelly although it was then given to The Saturdays. What makes it sound so similar to Kelly's sound is the fact that it has quite a 'rocky' sound to it as well some electronic vocals , which I myself aren't that keen on. There are parts of this song which I quite like , especially the chorus , but the rest of it , I just find plain annoying.
The girls can sing although ...
Advantages: Smooth Gorgeous Voice and the Looks To Match. What more Could You Want? Disadvantages: Some weak links.
...first. Who is Kris Allen?
Born in 1985, Kris Allen is an American singer/songwriter from Arkansas. He shot to fame in the 8th season of American Idol when he defied all odds and won the 8th season with a landslide of votes. With his smooth gorgeous vocals to his stunning good looks, he is the total package. This is his debut album, can he do what a lot of Idol stars have not been able to do and create an amazing debut album? Track Listing
... ...poignant and it just works. Kris goes into a little rap bit which wasn’t very good but all in all it was a very good song and one that shows how talented he truly is, even if it isn’t his. Apparently it is a cover of The Scripts song. Rating: 8/10 (Good but not brilliant, rather than grow on you, it’s lost its appeal in my opinion)
Track 2: Before We Come Undone
I love this track, his voice is so smooth and it is the reason why he won the show ...
Advantages: Songs , Good Performers ,Atmosphere Disadvantages: None!

Credits (Untouchable) I really enjoyed watching this DVD! It really shows how far Girls Aloud have come since the early days! I would say that this is definately their best tour to date as there is so much more 'excitement' and suprises compared to their other tours! And it also seems that the band have just grown better and better ; they seem so much more professional and polished thesedays and are ...
This review is being rewritten at the moment, and will reappear when I'm happy with it. I'm currently rewriting all of my old reviews to make them better and more in line with 'proper' reviews like you see on the liks of Pitchfork or Stylus, and naturally that's going to take a bit of work. Sorry for being massively inconvinient, but that's just how I roll, folks! I'll try to rewrite this review as quickly as possible, but for the moment I've written ...
Excellent performance, tonnes of steam, ventilated ironing board (*)
