For me that's a bit like deciding between being dipped in acid, eaten by wolves or crushed by a boulder. Okay maybe a bit harsh, but as you can see I'm not really a fan of boybands, but I'd have to say I prefer Take That, they've got a few decent songs and I think they have better vocalists. Plus I think Ronan Keating is a bit of arse.

Westlife all the way - they have some of the best singers in the world, they are so down to earth, they are amazing dancers esp. on tour and I love them all no matter what people say about them OR me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

I think it's pretty obvious but I just wanted to see who got the most votes. For me it's Take That

Can I say Backstreet Boys? No? Fine then Take That for me, cos Gary Barlow is gorgeous.

I'm not really a fan of any of them, but I have a guilty liking of more of Westlife's songs.. Especially their older stuff - now they seem to have settled into a 'drone, chorus, drone, key change, chorus' comfort zone. Their older stuff wasn't half as irritating in that respect.

Anyway, I'd also like to add that I really do appreciate Take That's talent - I just don't like them.

Boyzone as they were the first group I got into (I've moved on considerably since then!).

Take That are alright but they were slightly before my time so they don't mean the same to me as Boyzone - my older cousins loved them so they kind of take me back to that at least.

Never liked Westlife, all their songs sound the same to me and never found any of them attractive - which, when I was 10, was just as important as the music!

Easily Take That, they have original songs, they write most of their material, can play instruments, perform brilliantly live.

I think its fair to say that Boyzone only got really popular after the first demise of Take That.

My major gripe about Westlife is that the majority of their songs are covers after cover. No wonder Bryan McFadden left when he did.

Take That on the other hand, the 21st century version have certainly gone from strength to strength and don't think there will be any boyband that will match their Circus Live show in terms of visuals for a long time to come.

Whoops, I replied to your other thread instead of this one where everyone else is posting.

I think Take That are definitely the best!

I don't think you really can compare the three anymore. There is nothing more similar other than the fact that they are groups of men who sing. They don't even really sing the same type of songs.

I like each for different reasons, but Take That are my fave for the effort they put into their live performances. Can't beat them to put on a show.

Take That have a songwriter of some talent.

The Irish bands are just bland.
