19. Westlife – ‘Flying Without Wings’
Westlife release a song, it gets to Number One, it becomes increasingly difficult to believe the nation has a soul. The Irish crooners have been belting out slight variations of this formula for years now, but never more excruciatingly than on this 1999 hit. It all comes to a head at the chord change, when even if you’re hearing the song on the radio, you can picture them getting out of their stools, fists clenched, faces punchable.

- This is brilliant. **** Valentines Day. Though very disappointed about Hello being in there. It’s timeless.
- And I thought music is intended to be HEARD, not SEEN. You wish you had half of their talent. If you can sing better falsetto and be a better frontman than Mr. Chaplin, play the keyboards more passionately than Mr. Rice-Oxley and make such a great beat and a little catchy drumming before the last chorus I would be surprised. The lyrics are so great and the track has such a power. It’s because of idiots like you that Mr Chaplin attended rehab. I suggest you to hear Leaving So Soon? ;) c

and SOWK isn’t even a love song of the Valentine’s Day type. and I forgot, ”make such a great beat and a little catchy drumming before the last chorus as Mr. Hughes”
He had the press calling him fat etc! Obviously he had some low esteem. And why do they say these things about him like if he was the only one? Most legends of music were drug addicts. And Keane isnt all around him, you know? theres 2 more brains there to make music. They are stating that they don’t like the song because of the singer, without even mentioning his voice. its just stupid. reading this article, music doesnt even seem like and art. and sowk isnt even a valentines song.
