guilty pleasure.
in the beginning, i never liked them. i never thought that i would fall for guys with sweet saccharine voice. nevermind the fact that one of them is gay. but i just cant believe that after 9 years, im still listening to them. and i cant believe that i bought their albums. tsk tsk.
i was only 12 years old when Umi asked me in class "Are you gay? how come you only listen to boybands?"
westlife [UK / US](1999)
the first song i heard from them was 'Swear It Again'. an OK track i must say, especially when im only like in Primary 5 going to 6.
'If I Let You Go' stuck to my head for sometime. and right then i knew, im a sucker for this guys.
when they were recording 'Flying Without Wings', Simon Cowell called in all the journalists and media people to come see. and Simon said that the song would be a number 1 hit.
indeed.
'Fool Again' is deane's most hated song. i dont mind, cos not everyone's a fan
other singles you might have heard
"I Have A Dream" & "Seasons In The Sun"
Coast To Coast [Asia / UK ] 2000
this album was sold out within the first few weeks and i had to wait for the next batch of stock to come in. that was all i remembered about it. and i remember in Primary 6, all my friends got a copy. well at least, almost everbody.
singles you might have heard
"Against All Odds" "My Love" "What Makes A Man" "I Lay My Love On You" "When You're Looking Like That"
World Of Our Own [Asia / UK] (2001)
the one i like most. the one packed with power ballads. what more can i say
singles you might have heard
"Queen Of My Heart" "World Of Our Own" "Angel" "Bop Bop Baby"
Turnaround [Asia / UK] 2002
one of my least favourite. reason being, i thought i was growing up already and didnt wanna listen to them no more. but i guess i was wrong.
singles you might have heard
"Mandy" "Hey Whatever" "Obvious"
Unbreakable: The Greatest Hits Vol 1 [Asia / UK] (2003)
with this released, i thought that they were done for already. i was getting ready to shelve them and not listen to westlife anymore. i thought it was a good 4 years. but once again, i was wrong. Simon Cowell made them release more singles and albums...
singles you might have heard
"Unbreakable" "Tonight" "Miss You Nights"
Allow Us To Be Frank [Asia / UK] (2004)
so they released a jazz album. and this made me listen to Buble and Groban more actually.
and jazz came into my league.
singles you might have heard
"Ain't That A Kick In The Head" "Fly Me To The Moon" "Smile"
Face To Face [Asia / UK] (2005)
they became less pop and adjusted to adult contemporary. to me it just means, MORE ballad. lovely.
singles you might have heard
"You Raise Me Up" "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" "Amazing"
The Love Album (2006)
an album filled with old covers of love song. it means, even MORE ballads. ballads and ballads.
singles you might have heard
"The Rose"
Back Home (2007)
their 9th album before going for a one year hiatus to rest.
my current favourite album as well. well at least, my fave non R&B album.
singles you might have heard
"Home" "Us Against The World" "Something Right"
thus, i have 135+ WESTLIFE songs in my iPod.
