How to make a Westlife video and song!
It's easy: start with tinkling electric piano, cue shots of dewy-eyed females into separate shots of dewy-eyed band members, soft lights and the opening "Oooh-ooh-ooh-ohh-ooh"
First line:- "Girl, it seems that when we're together..." any takers for the next line? Dislcaimer: "How To Make A Westlife Video And Song requires absolutley no knowledge of music, writing, talent or skill whatsoever. Any writing talent you may pick up along the way is purely coincidental."

Sit on stools - or wander around deserted buildings.
On the key change get up from the stools and walk forward with a "sincere" expression on their faces. |

Under no circumstances attempt to write the songs yourself, watch The Hits 100 greatest tearjerkers and see which ones you still haven't covered.

Don't forget after the key change in the middle to clench your fist!

Don't forget to sing your line with both hands on your heart just to make it look, you know, for real, like.

And don't forget unbuttoned white shirts billowing open to reveal their manly chests.

I like some cheesy 80s rock but if someone decided to make a "make a *cheesy 80s rock band I like* song and video" thread I wouldn't take offence. Ok next one, if possible, feature a big staircase for the group to slowly walk down. Oh and get ready for that big key change near the end! |

Add various clips of happy family scenes or romantic couples embracing in slow motion... just so we know they are a "band the whole family can enjoy".
Band members are also not permitted to make any "wild gestures" as this will "look incredibly silly". Only movement of lips is allowed. Any other movement is only to take place at obligatory key change when all band members rise from stool. Band members are allowed to do the "my knees may buckle very slowly as I sing this" during key change. It is also essential that the backdrop that the band sing in front of is more eyecatching than band itself - to avoid how daft the band actually look. All videos may slowly fade out with band walking away from camera and into backdrop - as mentioned above ^^^. |

Doleful, upward glances to camera by Nicky and Kian because they have to give them something to do in the video, while Shane and Mark sing.

Acoustic guitar bridge section, which is always a video scene of the boys walking, looking to camera or standing at the top of a hill, to draw attention away from the inescapable fact that the guitar in question is not being played by any of them!
And now, for the next line. Let's see. Gotta think about this one, not use the first thing that comes to mind... OOh, I know! "It's like I'm standin' on the edge of forever" (with scene showing them standing at top of cliff, looking out over raging sea, probably at night with a nearly-full moon above. Clever! ![]() Note: I don't like Westlife (duh) but don't mean any offence to their fans. The reason I started this thread is because, well, how can you take a group (theyre not a band: bands play musical instruments) like this seriously? They should just be called Louis Walsh's Big Retirement Fund! BTW, I love Marillion, Bon Jovi, ELO, and a hundred other bands, and if anyone (particularly a Westlife fan) wants to do a similar thread for one of them, be my guest! I'll even join in! In fact, I have an idea: what about an Iron Maiden Basic Heavy Metal video thread? Hmmm... Iron Maiden, eh?

Give an innocent yet sultry look to the camera.
