Westlife Declare Themselves Shocked that Nobody Else Thinks They Are a Cool Band?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Irish boyband Westlife have declared themselves shocked that nobody else outside of their fan base considers them as a “cool band”. While the group have undoubtedly had much commercial success they have found critical acclaim and recognition from their peers much more difficult to come by.
The band have been managed by their mentor Simon Cowell for over 11 years and revealed that the X-Factor and America’s Got Talent judge is a major factor behind them releasing their last studio album. The band are the biggest selling UK act of the entire decade and have made a name for themselves singing ballads.
The band recently managed to meet the President of the USA Barack Obama when he invited the Irish guys to the Whitehouse for a party. Westlife are now gearing up to crack the US market where they hope their connections with Simon Cowell and another X-Factor judge, Louis Walsh will help propel them into the hearts and minds of the US public. The Westlife music videos are notorious for usually featuring the band standing up on a stool while wearing all white.
One member of the band is already planning for live away from the limelight, he has signed up a girl band along with Louis Walsh and will look to capitalise of his music industry knowledge and help the band become superstars like Westlife.
