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.”

Indeed, he has that perfect pure smooth pop style voice, and very recognisable as the voice of Westlife, so it's always going to sound 'like Westlife' (and if it didn't, he'd still not be able to win because there'd be complaints that he was trying to forget his background, or try something that doesn't work, etc).
Looking forward to hearing the single. And I like the lyrics he posted from his song, nice.
