Westlife, another Simon Cowell discovery. Very successful with 14 no. 1 singles in the UK (3rd highest in history; only behind Elvis & Beatles!), very delightful. Another foursome like Il Divo (original band was 5), its members being Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily &Shane Filan.

My favorite songs from Westlife?

I love the lyrics in Flying Without Wings:

"Flying Without Wings"

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends

I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

"

And YES, sometimes all it takes is a great song or two. You're loved for life, Westlife!

Whoa, I had totally forgotten about Westlife! I loved them in the late 90's right alongside their American counterparts 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys, and 98 Degrees, though Westlife was always more mature sounding than the former two. Glad to see that they're still around and creating music. Good job, Simon Cowell! Thanks for the job down memory lane :)
