I'm no fan of Westlife but I felt sorry for him when I heard about his bankruptcy. Hopefully his solo career will take off. What kind of music is he going to be dong?
Personally, I think he will go pop/rock route. but we will have to wait and see. |

Nobody knows that for now - I find it ridiculous that it was reported how he would go country just because he is recording the album in Tennessee

Who said he was doing country music? He might go pop rock or he might end up doing really boring MOR stuff. Who knows?
But the truth is, no one knows what he is up to - I just expect Buble route is off the table since no one mentioned that in a while. |

I hope he does well I love his voice.
It depends though sometimes the best singers of bands aren't always the most successful. Like Take That Robbie is more successful solo than Gary. |

Its hard to know how he will do or how anyone of them will do solo. I think if Shane has the right material he will do ok though.

Shane's wife tweeted this today:
Chillin in the USA listening to @ShaneFilan new album! So excited! and also this: “@westlifefansa: @ShaneFilan @Gillian_Filan. Have the kids heard the new album yet? Little judges. He” Yes.!They've picked their favorites! This means his album is probably almost done, probably just needs to be mastered

Somehow, I can't see Nicky ever trying to go solo though. He knows that his voice isn't the strongest. Kian on the other hand could at least try if he wants to, his voice is actually good when he sings rock type of songs.
As for Mark, I have high expectations as I know he is very creative and passionate for music. Yesterday he tweeted that he is working with american producer. not literally on music scene, sorry for not specifying, i meant solo career in general , may it be as a host, actor and everything... nicky is such a popular westlife member, i believe he is the most popular among all of them. |

nicky is such a popular westlife member, i believe he is the most popular among all of them. ![]() I think Shane is 2nd in popularity - he was always considered as a frontman of Westlife. TV3 reported this about Shane: "Ex Westlifer Shane Filan has his debut solo album finished and ready to go. The singer, 33, who penned a €1million deal with London Records last month, has apparently now picked every track which will feature on his upcoming release. Record bosses are hoping the album will hit shelves before Christmas." By the way, Shane decided to follow another 25 people if they tweet FilanFriday. He is trending at no.3 in the UK. |

Lets hope he doesn't blow it and go down the cheesy Ronan Keating route.
That may sell bucket-loads but will bore very quickly when it come round to album no2. Shane has the best voice in westlife and deserves a successful solo career. |

I hope he doesn't go cheesy too much like you said. However, he is co-writing his songs, so he is doing what he likes. I think Ronan ruined himself with too many cover albums... his latest album is not bad actually. It is pop, but the sound is more mature in my opinion. But, I guess not many care as he really harmed himself in every way by cheating on his wife.
So, if Shane actually goes with what Ronan has done on his last album, I won't mind at all. |

I think he should re-invent himself as a sort of male GaGa with electro pop anthems and some wacky styling.
It would him break away from the boyband mould. |

I think Lady Gaga has a great voice, but she is wasting it with generic electro pop songs and outrageous outfits. The only song I truly love is You And I because it is a great rock n roll song.

Here is a small 1 minute clip Shane posted on his Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgYJ1wq7uB8 Did I hear it right - did he say we will have to wait for 5 weeks to hear the single? Or did he say few? Anyway, the potential single sounds like power ballad, I really like the melody. |

Well, Nicky said it best recently:
"Shane was the sound of Westlife after all," he said. "His was the voice people would recognise on the radio, so it's going to be very hard for him not to make a record that doesn't sound like Westlife." I agree with him. No matter what he releases, critics will say it sounds like a Westlife song. But you know... in the video, he said this is a potential single. Maybe this song won't be the debut single, maybe it s just one from the EP, you never know. However, i agree that it shouldn't be a typical ballad, but something like even Westlife had with Beautiful World and Wide Open. It would be definitely better if he released something more midtempo/uptempo if he plans to release it in the summer. |
