Westlife...is there no escape?!
They are bloody everywhere and all the time! Or so it feels like. I know they have fans but I feel they're really being force-fed to the public at large.
Does anyone else get frustrated at the mass overexposure of these lads? I don't care how nice they are or that they sing well enough but when anyone is as overexposed as Westlife have been over the last couple of months I find it such a turn off. It's actually quite hard to avoid them right now. |

I can't stand Westlife. They are so bland, they are like the beige of music.

Btw, that wasn't meant as a sexist remark! I read (perhaps on DS?) that Westlife's main fans are no longer screaming girls, but older women.

they seemed up their own arses on Al Murray - even the 'cheeky girl' seemed more relaxed...
Al's best line was somehting along the lines of "it must be great, having written the songs for" [names of old bands]. they did not seem amused that they were being mocked for bing entirely unoriginal and superficial. take that seem genius in comparison - at least they had Robbie Williams to bolster their talent level. Westlife? get a life! |

![]() I'd go further than that........I don't even class it as music. Westlife - for people with NoLife. |

I hate them, but it's rather incredible that with no airplay on Radio 1, they still manage to go to Number 1. When they were number 1, I hadn't even been aware they had a single out.

I can't stand WorstLife - OK they are popular and have their fans but IMO they are very bland and have collected their No 1's in the abscence of much serious competition.

I read that they were going to be called "West Side" - a bit more suitable as it was a crappy shopping centre and Ali-G's 'hood.

![]() I cannot stand these blokes. They always look bored to tears to me - although not as bored as the audience who have to sit through yet another mimed cover track. |

It is quite an incredible feat that the gravy train is limping on after all these years.
They'll be running out of cover tracks before too long. |

Just making it known I've never been a fan. Even when I was a teenager liking other boybands I never liked Westlife. I found them so boring and even back then, their looks did nothing for me.

They have to be the most annoying "band" around, cover after cover. Then again if you can earn a fortune by just miming along to old school love ballads I suppose anyone would do it at the end of the day.
