wonder what nic and ki were doing in this part.. here's the longest vid in youtube that i could find (as of now) www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1FuwuzSI98Here's a reviewBoys' trip down memory lane DANIELLE O'DONOHUE MUSIC WRITER February 24, 2007 01:15am Article from: The Advertiser COSTUME changes, pyrotechnics, a New Kids on the Block cover and boy band dance moves - welcome to 2007, Westlife style. Though boy bands are no longer the chart force they once were, this group of four Irishmen entertained a small but enthusiastic crowd at the Entertainment Centre. An early technical glitch – Shane's microphone dropped out in during first song Total Eclipse of the Heart – proved there would be no lip syncing embarrassment – a la Ashlee Simpson as the four boys worked their way through covers, old hits and songs from their new The Love Album. The night's highlight was a trip down boy band memory lane where the band paid homage to its predecessors, including New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, Boyzone and Take That though the introduction to the homage wrote former member Brian McFadden out of the Westlife script. Beginning the extended medley with Backstreet's Back and New Kid's on the Block's the Right Stuff, the four Irishmen even had each of the group's dance moves down pat. One of Westlife's biggest hits, their version of Billy Joel's Uptown Girl had people on their feet dancing, while everyone sang along to recent single Raise Me Up. White suits were donned for the encore of Flying Without Wings and a cover of the Better Midler hit The Rose as a shower of sparks brought the show to an end on a down-tempo note, too soon for the cheering crowd.

hell yeah! it hurts feeling so helpless just reading reviews and drooling over what others say.. here's yet another one Amid a swirling girlfest of glowbangles, slow waving arms, screams and sighs, four polite young irishmen sang some very nice songs. Westlife appeals to a certain niche and that niche was out in force determined to have a great night. From a thunderous start, the boys hit the stage singing their latest single Total Eclipse of the Heart, the latest hit from the band which has pegged 13 number one singles in Britain, and sold more than 35 million albums. A mix of cover songs and originals delighted the crowd in equal doses ranging across numbers such as You Are So Beautiful, Easy, The Rose, Mandy, You Raise Me Up, Flying Without Wings, If I Let You Go and When You're Looking Like That plus tracks from their new The Love Album. With synchronised choreography, plenty of costume changes and lots of smiles the young lads looked like they were having a good time and told the audience so. As the ballads flowed, each took a turn to chat and rather than the rock star profanities the well mannered gentlemen thanked the audience for supporting them and said how much they enjoyed Australia. It was music to the audience's ears. Westlife varied between sitting while singing slow ballads to belting out upbeat dance numbers with in sync dancing, singing, walking, smiling, scowling - although even the scowls were good natured. Listeners were left in no doubt as to the bands background - at one stage a narration blaring out from a darkened stage told of four friends who liked to harmonise "inspired by their heroes including NKOTB, Boyzone, Take That and the Backstreet Boys." "We had a dream of being our own boyband" the narration intoned then suddenly the lights came back on and the lads ran through an energetic medley tribute to their boyband heroes. As the harmonies flowed and melodies melded a night of slightly predictable, quite safe pop fun unfolded. One thing firmly on Westlife's side on the current tour of Australia is its band - a foursome of four bald, black musicians who provided sizzling musical backing and a visual contrast to the singers, particularly the red hot lead guitarist. Support act Anthony Callea gave his soaring vocals a good work out to warm up the audience with some good humour and genuine energy. Brad Crouch - The Sunday Mail, Adelaide 25/02/07.
