Westlife - World Of Our Own

Now, I can’t honestly say I’m a huge fan of boy bands, more of a Rock Fan to be honest! But, my friend talked me into going and see Westlife in concert. Wanting to have a bit of an idea of what to expect I borrowed her CD to familiarize myself with them . . . . What a surprise!
With 19 songs and a playing time of over 77 minutes, the songs range from the well known cover of Uptown Girl, the catchy and upbeat Bop Bop Baby, and other equally sing-a-long type tunes to the melancholy , grab a box of tissues type. It really does drag you through a full span of emotions, dancing round the room one minute . . . Sobbing in a tissue the next! It would be wrong to say that it sounded anything other than what I’d expected it to . . . Westlife are a boy band and that’s what it sounded like, BUT musically it does have a variety of sounds , from the Spanish sounding intro of I Cry and the pipes and accordion sounds of the first track Queen of My Heart.
It’s impossible for me to choose any ONE song as my favorite, as they really are all nice and very listenable to, and there is a fantastic choice to choose from.
As a total aside to this review . . . . My friend decided to miss the concert to go on a last minute holiday instead, leaving me to take a friends 13 year old daughter . She was beside herself with excitement, but I think in all honesty I enjoyed it more than her! I have been to quite a few concerts over the years, but ask me now which was the best and without doubt I’d have to say WESTLIFE. They gave a fantastic polished & slick show, have superb voices and my advice to anyone would be, If you get the opportunity to go to one of their shows GO . . . . You will NOT be disappointed.
I’m still not a convert to boy bands, but I’m more than happy to have Westlife in my CD collection and I believe 'World Of Our Own' is a great 'All Rounder'.
