Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Artists: Westlife
Westlife's Nicky Byrne has told tabloid newspaper the Daily Star that the band may call it quits if their next record isn't the hit they've become accustomed to.

Bryne said: "If the next record doesn't work then, yeah, it might be the end."

Tubby fifth of the group, Bryan McFadden, left the group earlier this year. Existing fourth Shane Filan admitted that the band's shelf life will run out soon.

Obviously this pessimistic attitude could just be a way of currying sympathy within the group's existing fanbase, thus ensuring the next record, the first without McFadden, performs well.

DiScuss: Do Westlife really get on your tits, or are they an act that you can just avoid, unlike, say, novelty pop hits and the bloody Black Eyed Peas. Could this announcement have anything to do with this morning's reports that Boyzone may be reforming?


Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Come on folks. We can't let this happen. Pop stars have to eat too. Go out and buy their next single on every format when it comes out... and copies for your mates too. Show you care.

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

i thought it was pretty low. its as if they are blackmailing loyal fans.
'dont buy our ecord and we will quit'
i reckon some crazy fans will go out and buy lots of copies just so they dont see their favourite band quit.

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

mmmm... but it's a threat i'd love to see them carry out. Then maybe we can all sleep easy.

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Then all we have to start on is the wave of R'n'B thats taking over....mwhahahaha

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Nothing wrong with RnB, unless it's that Eamonn twat.

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

when you say that theres nothing wrong with RnB i hope your referring to The Who, Led Zeppelin and the like, not this modern day crap

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

They're doing what any other human being wud do: look for support on tough times, it's that simple. Westlife still have a huge loyal fan base, the thing is that the fans can be a bit laid-back at times LOL and we need to read these things, where they ask for help, to go and save them from drowning PML The next album's gonna be a success, I'm sure


Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Some advice: do not believe everything you read ;-)

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Nicky never said that to the Dail Star, he merely said it as a comment on a cd:uk tour report. and it has been blown out of proportion.. god you guys take the press so seriuosly!

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

First of all Nicky Byrne didn't tell the Daily Star anything.The Daily Star got it from CD:UK and they made out of something small something big.

They don't have to worry bout everything their tour is going gr8 the fans are supporting them like always and their next single and album will be as much of a hit as always cuz they rawk.

Rawk on westlife.

Did DiS get invaded by Year 8 of some Brummie secondary school or something?

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

You love Westlife. And you know it. You're just in denial.

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

A whole new demographic has just signed up to DiS.
Give 'em a week they'll be yabbering on about Dillinger Escape Plan.

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

Well, if Busted can wear the t-shirts, why can't their fans?

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

i need to rant here...right...
westlife came together because they applied via an advert for "the next big pop thing" etc. they were told how to dress, how to dance, how to act and taught to sing in tune. then they get signed. now they become legally obliged to not cause any offence, do anything untoward or look "un pop-like", such as get drunk at parties with cameras in etc etc because it's in their financial interest not to (i.e. they'd get dropped). so now they are completely manipulated and unable to break these contracts. this is how their career has panned out for them thus far. fun!!! these guys who, at the end of the day, are just like you and i, have to do as they are told by their record label like some kind of naughty school children. and the worst part of all this is, they're mid to late twenties!! just imagine being kept in detention and thinking how unfair it is because you have no say in the matter or can't discuss it rationally etc. this is how they are being made to live their "superstar" lives...and on the age thing, doesn't it strike you as weird how these mid to late twenty year olds love being followed/stalked/idolised by pre 16 year old girls. by my book that's wrong and very fucked up!!!!! if it was your average joe in the street being followed by said girls, they'd run a mile. does it make it o.k just because their singers?????
i don't like westlife. some pop music is entertaining and at the end of the day it's down to personal taste. with bands like westlife, however, i can only see a very sinister and sorry state and not the great pop bands you all claim them to be.

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

by the way, this is aimed at the people who were commenting on this lower down the board. please don't assume i've just suddenly had an epiphone and need to write it all down to whoever wants to read it!!! otherwise i'd look weird...ummm...

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

I gather you dont like westlife as you have no idea about them what you have just wrote is a whole lot of bollox made up in your own tiny little mind.Go away and do your homework then come on here with the truth rather than your opinion thank you
love me xxxx

Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

that is actually a bit harsh! they deserve were they r and hav worked really hard to get where they r good on them!!!

Re: Westlife: No Hit and We'll Quit

you are right. it is very harsh...but true. that is why i needed to rant because i sometimes get the feeling that people either just don't know stuff like this or are too
wrapped up in happy ignorant land to bother. i feel it is really fucked up and hence why i spoke. sorry.
