Westlife Admit They Were Unsure About Gravity Cover Songs
According Westlife singer Shane Filan, pop guru Simon Cowell forced them to have two cover songs on their latest album Gravity.
Filan admitted that at first the band were unsure about their covers of Athlete’s ‘Choices’ and Hoobsatank’s ‘The Reason’ but now they are glad they recorded them…
“It’s Simon Cowell’s doing. Every year he puts a couple of songs out there and says that we should do versions. After we thought we’d finished the album, we sat down with him and he said, ‘Guys, trust me, it’ll be a big song for you’. We weren’t sure at first, but we lived with them, and sure enough he was right. It’s more a trust thing with Simon. He has worked with us and picked each of our No.1 singles, so we want to show that we trust him.”
<<<THOUGHTS>>>
There is absolutely no reason why Westlife need to still be doing cover songs? Haven’t they got any professional pride? They are simply nothing but glorified karaoke singers.

If you’re going to criticise Westlife, at least get the song name’s right you dick. Their Athlete cover was ‘Chances’ not ‘Choices.’ Prick.
