Soon Yee and I have declared war against Westlife, and we are not the only ones. It all started from a song called Home which was originally by the one and only, the great, the awesome, the legendary - Michael Buble. We loved that song because it was one of the most beautiful songs Michael Buble ever wrote and sang. Westlife destroyed it!! They made a mess of it!!
It is meant to be a personal song about loving someone, missing someone. How could they allow Westlife to sing it? The saying goes, if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. And Westlife is obviously not in a position to try a Michael Buble song. They killed it. Unfortunately I will never listen to Home in the same way that I have before because I will always be reminded of the destruction caused by this overgrown boyband. They have transformed from potential boy band with considerably good original debut and sophomore albums years ago to freakin'-I-wanna-throw-up-in-my-mouth-when-I-hear-them-kind-of-boyband. I don't like them anymore. Basically they have quickly and surely deteriorated to doing horrible renditions of other people’s classics. Let’s be frank, it really sucks. Here's a tip, if you are not as talented as someone like Michael Buble, please puh-lease stay away from spoiling other people's songs. I'm not alone in this, here are the links to Soon Yee's and Zeeko's 'heartfelt' objection to Westlife's painful destruction of such a beautiful song. This is a collaborative, coordinated, timely objection merely to fulfill our heart's discontent on this matter of a horrendous cover version. Here are the links on what others have got to say:
