Don't know whats with this guys, doing all those ballady things over and over again. Think they need a change. Used to like them but there music touch is so boring now that they wouldn't do anything new Ballad and ballad over and over again throught all the album.

Is because some people like ballads. The formulae works so why change it. They released one song which (can't remember name) wasn't a ballad and it flopped so they went back to ballads.
Personally not my cup of tea but they doing something right for lots of punters
So why slag them off. Different strokes for different folks

But they still bore me. Bridgey xxx

I didn't understand the first post, presumably typed blindfolded and under the influence of magic mushrooms, but Westlife certainly bore me. They are, without question, the most useless pop act in history. Unlike Phixx, they don't even provide anything to laugh at. They've churned out the same song at least 90 times, accompanied by a succession of 'move along, nothing to see here' videos. Fortunately now the McFadden has buggered off, the end is nigh. Let the Sam and Mark revolution commence forthwith!

Im actually a huge westlife fan, and constantly hear people slagging them off for being boring and bland.
And to a certain point i do agree, they do just see to do ballads, but then they do them well and its what they are known for.
Ive liked them for 6 years, but about 18 months ago i went right off them, until i heard Bryan had left, then i thought...it could be my last chance to see them live before they split....so i went to see them in brighton.
And they really did not dissapoint....ive seen them live 5 times now and they really are great.
i never expect to change people opinions of them, but as a fan....i can say they certainly do something for me.

It is a truth universally acknowledged . . .
. . . that Westlife are a whole world of rubbishness.

I agree - they're a load of 30 year old men sitting in chairs singing about finding love. 4/5's of them are married! Idiots.

They are the laziest act around. What's most annoying about their depressingly cynical music is that their underestimation of the what the public wants to hear is justified time and time again. Stop making them number one, shazzy bitches!

Westlife don't bother me at all really.
Personally I don't like their stuff but from day one when they came on to the scene they made it perfectly clear what they were offering and never promised anything else. They are and were always intended to be middle of the road and the fact is many people like middle of the road and Westlife do do it well.
However their constant 'everyone's against us and thought we were gonna flop this time but we've proved them wrong again' that they prattle out everytime they get a number 1 is irritating as is their 'we hate this stuff...oh no we don't' contradictions.

ive liked them since day one and though fair enough not everybody likes them thats their choice that doesnt bother me, but the british build them up and knock them down mentality that fucks me off. They are hated in large part because of their sucess.
ive seen them live many times and every year they put on the best show around they certainly dont spend 2 hours sitting on stools wearing black.
also the range of demographics at one of their shows is prob the best ive ever seen second to kylie .

The fans are bored of the ballads as well...and the covers....and the incessant need of Cowell and Walsh to find the blandest song in the history of the world.
But WL won't stand up to them and release the stuff they want to release....because they know it's makes them money! The ballads sell better, they're marketed better for some unknown reason and the public at large buy them.
They'll get Top 5 because of the 'hardcore' but it's the ballad-buyers that get them to Number 1.

Kat Westlife did try a new "style" a while ago when they realeased Hey Whatever.....well..not much of a style change but it was enough for them to realise it doesnt work....the single wasnt great and so they went back to ballads. i mean really...what else can they do? they cant release Nsync style music because they arent great dancers, i couldnt imagine them doing rock, indie etc....so whats left?

Oh indeed i AM fun..... whats a troll then? someone who stalks them obsessively? My definition of Trolls would be hard-core fans of one particular act/artist who troll the net, only posting in a place like this about that one person, if anyone so much as mentions them in less than hallowed tones. We get quite a few on here for particular people, mentioning no names. Most of them are completely cocked and show it, others a bit cannier and can appear almost sane. You know who you are.

Oh i FULLY understand the sort of fans you mean...believe me ive come accross a fair few in the last year or so...they frighten me to say the least. Never had a problem with Westlife fans tho i must admit....but then i dont troll enough to notice i suppose.

A pretty much perfect description of a troll if ever I heard one. The worst trolls are the ones who think that because they quite clever and mature and don't just post about their favourite artist they are not trolls. Even though they still snap the head off anyone who mentions their beloved Sam and Mark act. At least the txt spkrs know they are trolls and 'dnt giv a sht'. Anyway, Westlife. My only/main problem with them is their overwhelming arrogance. They are millionaires because their hardcore fans are daft enough to buy the same song released every few months with a different title and they know it. Nicky and Kian are definitely the worst. Didn't somebody on here meet Kian, and he cockily proclaimed that he gets paid millions to just go 'Ooooh' and 'Aaaah' in the background?

I would resemble that remark only I do not snap the head off anyone who trashes an act I like. I happen to like a more reasoned debate and am mature and clever enough to know that not everyone has the same taste
I wonder what the word for a person who constantly takes a snipe at some act at every opportunity just to bate the trolls and probably nothing to do with whether they like the act or not.............a Trollbater?
