Goodness, how heated has this become!!

I imagine it probably will go to number 1 purely because it's Westlife, they could sing nursery rhymes and they'd go to number 1, which is a great shame.

But hey, they're a band who are at the minute doing a range of cover versions, they've been given a song, it's going to get them a hellof a lot of publicity and even more cash - can't blame the boys really

Thank you both :-)

I like it and have downloaded it for keeps.

you´re right Lucy, that´s the real shame.
that thing will reach #1, and as song as BAAB will be lucky to be found in the top 5 :evil:

:shock: :shock: This is wrong on so many levels !!!!:shock: :shock:

That dancing... don't get me started :nuts:!

From the viscousness of some comments, you'd imagine someone said something bad about a Meat Loaf song (the horror!)

In fact, I'm appalled by the utter ridiculousness of some of the comments. If you don't like a cover of song, fine. You don't have to listen to it anymore, and just move on!
Repeatedly calling the performers of said cover various names (f*cking assholes, for example) is just plain silly and wrong. Especially by a moderator.

Could we get another mod in here to give some people a chill pill?

It's already been done ... consider the thread brought back on topic. :))

Goodness what a great thread I've started here :))

I didn't think the Westlife version was too horrific (although I did cringe at the end part). There's obviously a market for this type of stuff - people will like it and people will buy it.

I'm just away to e-mail Gary Barlow and suggest Take That do You Took The Words :twisted:

Why not Objects or for crying out loud?:devil:

Well, he was involved with Boyzone 10 years back.

Still, at least he chose not to be involved with Bat III - that would have really tarnished his legacy. :roll:

Did I say that?

hmm so we cant have an opinion on any songs but meat's? interesting

i think the fact Steinman was/wasnt/could've been involved in this has clouded some peoples objective judgment skills

and it is more than just this song..they have done it quite alot which implies money making gimmick, can we not have an opinion on that either?

Don't think anyones said you can't have an opinion ... it's more a question of how that opinion is voiced that was the issue!

maybe i misread a certain post then..if so i apologise ;) disregard the first part of my post

but i stand by the rest :))

A bit like IACBTMN then on Bat3 ;)

Although Westlife's version isn't the best by far, it certainly isn't the worse. I can't get my head around this song being sung just by the lads and no lasses, one could argue that it is though :lmao:

Pud :twisted:

What were you doing with Westlife in your mouth? :shock:

Pud :twisted:

not as criminal as re-doing "i have a dream" but still not good. never mind some boy band would have to remake it at some point.
Bonnie performed total eclipse on This Morning yesturday live. maybe this is to remind the public audience she did it origionaly.

Yep, I Have A Dream was painful.

Pud :twisted:

Oh hon...unless you're 5 years old...you know VERY WELL what I was doing...;)

Isn't it coming out re-mixed or something? I hear it a lot on the radio now...not such a great version...but still Bonnie...

Bonnie re-re-re-release of TEOTH is a collaboration with Baby Pink Star.

Well I've seen Westlife 5 times in concert and do you know what? they are actually quite entertaining and fun. Each to their own eh? And I wouldn't mind 10 minutes alone with that Shane! Corrrrrrrrrrr

Me neither.
*gets out the BIG knife":devil:

I quite agree Christa! The concert we saw was very well done - they had a 'glass' stage that come down over the front half of the audience so that those at the back got a better view for part of the concert.

i'm sorry but they're full of gimmicks and other peoples music

I´ve just heard the song performed by them for the first time...
And I have to admit that I don´t like it.
That has nothing to do with the band itself, because I like some songs of them.

It´s just, you can´t cover THAT song... It just won´t work in my opinion.
I love the song performed by Bonnie Tyler, it´s so unbelievably great!!!

I wouldn´t say they´ve destroyed the song, but it just doesn´t touch me at all!!!

Guess I really should make the effort to listen to this
