I thought I'd open a new thread, cause the old one I kept on not being able to read new posts in it 
Courtesy of Mark's Baby, here is a continuation thread ...
Hiya everyone!
This is the place to be if you wanna chat about the four gorgeous guys of Westlife.
Enjoy your time and have fun most importantly.

I know its been a little while....but since im on here.....anyone buy the new westlife live at croke dvd?
just bought it and havent watched it just yet.....just setting up a perfect weekend in...by reliving the concert when they came here!!! awww! when are they coming back!!! haha
Westlife Rocks :- )
Fly High in the Sky
Heh heh, tell me something I don't know!
Heh heh, has anyone heard about Kian and Louis' latest girl-band venture they're holding auditions in Dublin for this week?
Heh heh
They are putting a group of five girls together, including none other than Kian's own fiancee Jodi Albert, for Ireland's answer to the Sugababes (I think that's what it's being touted as!)
Not quite sure how successful they will be though ... I have a feeling most of the interest will be because Kian's involved somehow
Oh, and can someone please tell that boy the meaning of the word "break??!!!" LOL I thought he and the boys were supposed to be resting!
wasnt jodi part of that other girl group? i cant remember the name but I remember the song.....man....it....was such a catchy song.....oh and they sang......pure and simple before hearsay??
i cant remember.....maybe ill wiki it....
All I know is that the group was called Girl Thing.
Not sure of any of the songs, cause I don't think they really made it down this way
ahh thats right...i had the album too....it wasnt too bad i thought.......and the song......last one standing!!! that was such a friggin good song!!!! i think ill start listening to it again!!
I had a thought on the weekend, imagine if Jodi auditioned for the new band and didn't get a callback for Sunday?! Heh heh heh - how bad would that be, especially for Kian?!! LOL
I'm sure she won't though ...
Oh, and if you do a search on you tube for Girl Thing, they had some very "spice girl"-ish dance moves for that song too
Heh heh
Has anybody round here got the Westlife autobiography yet? I mean, I know it's not available in our stores yet, but you can order it from Amazon
It's called Westlife: Our Story, and is basically "written" by the guys and has so many classic Westlife stories thoughout the years in it.
LOL
My favourite is Nicky's retelling of a case of "delly belly" he had when they were in Asia for a TV appearance one year! Heh heh heh .... you're going to have to get the book now to read it for yourself
I found an article this morning which had a few excerpts from Mark that appear in the book too, so I'll whet your appetite with those:
or you can have a wrestle for a book against me on trademe!! its at $40 at the moment! yeehaw! hahahahaha....it closes on sunday....im waiting till then!!
should i have said anything?? haha
$40?! That's almost getting up to the normal price, surely? Is it really worth it? Maybe you should just wait and see when they come to shops here .... or order it from amazon.co.uk and it'll probably end up cheaper anyway
hey just wondering...
is it true about the dvd being recorded and released this year?
if so... is it true that itll be recorded at croke?
fingers crossed that they do!!!!
I definitely HOPE the release the recording they did at Croke Park this year ... cause I was there, and it was fantastically phenomenal!!!
Plus there were signs around that said that the event was being recorded, and a couple of the guys mentioned it too, so fingers crossed Sony BMG get it right this year and release it on DVD!
(I reckon they stuffed up last year not recording The Love Tour, cause that concert was just as brilliant, in my opinion - well, not quite, but nearly ... worthy of being kept on recording anyway!)
Heard on C4 that some Westlife concerts have been cancelled due to 2 of the guys being sick!
Do you know what's wrong with them BIMI? If anyone does reckon it will be you.
Hope they haven't got the bad throat and cough bug I seem to have come home from New Plymouth with! Maybe it was floating round in the air there! Imagine if we've got the same thing!!!! And no it wasn't from me - I was perfectly OK then!
My personal opinion ... having to do a concert two days after a 36 hour flight (or whatever it is!) from New Zealand!!!
They could've very easily picked up a simple cold or something in New Zealand (given the coldness they experience while here) but not being able to rest at all, and basically running on empty for the last few weeks, wouldn't have assisted them in getting rid of it quickly
I blame the promoters and managers who organised the extra shows too close to when they got back into the northern hemisphere!
Been reading more about the reviews of the NZ shows on the Westlife site.
Have to say that I noticed comments about guys not wanting to admit to liking them.
We joked about the fact that I was going with him because of that reason.
Well, my husband's a bigger fan that me of their music. They're actually his favourites! Though not mine - as I reckon most people will know.
Mind you - was really keen to go too, as I always liked listening to them, and since seeing the show have been reading more about them - and actually finding out who's who.
I was so impressed, they won me over completely.
A mate of his at work went with his wife to Wellington - because he wanted to see them himself - and really enjoyed it too!
Was speaking to some women at work and all were jealous of me going. When I said 'so why didn't you go?' It was mainly because the Wellington tickets sold so quickly and they couldn't have a day off to get to New Plymouth.
ha yeah it is strange......I know myself......being a guy (and the answer is no im not) - I was a little embarrassed to admit it, luckily one of my friends was a big fan of theirs so I just said I was going with her. hehe
When I got to work alot of people found out I went - and I couldnt really care less - and because of that no one else does either! haha I get made fun of for a little while.....but eghh its all in fun so it was all good.
I was just watching on youtube all the footage from the new zealand concerts!
gosh! cant believe it was a week ago! and im still buzzing about it.....one of my friends that came with me - she knew nothing but 'uptown girl' - now shes a total westlife fanatic after the concert! shes even starting to learn lyrics now! hahaha
feels good to convert someone over! lmao
It so does! I have to agree with you on that one
I'm like, well, I've been telling you for years how brilliant they are ...
Heh heh!
Not wanting to say "I told you so" or anything LOL
yeah true!
As long as ive been a member on idolblog for.....Ive only been on the westlife forum for a wee while now! loving it ever since.......its good to have chats with other kiwis.......hey btw.....anyone see the C4 you choose 40 repeat on Monday last week? I couldnt believe how many Westlife songs were on there!! Well I didnt watch it on that Saturday.....I was obviously at the concert......when I was 3Ging with my sister at home she was showing me westlife at number 22 on her phone at the same time!!! talk about 2 birds with 1 stone!
oh yeah westlife'flying without wings' was number 1!!!!
YEEEAHHH!
I thought it was extremely fitting that FWW was #1 on the night the boys were actually IN the country
It was fantastic!!!
In other news, they've had to postpone their shows in Nottingham and Cardiff this week cause Shane and Nicky aren't well
Hopefully it's nothing too serious, and they are back on stage before too long! Personally, I reckon the toll of flying across the world, doing interviews, and concerts, and other appearances, and then flying back again, has caught up with them 
They need a rest! LOL
awww gosh I hope theyre alright?
yeah totally agree......it'll be hard to do all that work and then keep a smile everytime a fan sees you....defintely need a rest....and after all that theyre just going to postpone and not cancel.....now thats loyalty to fans!!
I watched the repeat on monday! It was such a good countdown - gotta love the boy/girlbands
That would have been good to see - the C4 countdown!
Must check out Westlife in NZ on UTube!
BIMI - was thinking of you when they said on New Plymouth radio inteview about going back home and they'll be playing in Ireland! Wondering if that's when you'd be there! So close now!
Bet having just seen them's making it even more exciting!
Must go and visit the Westlife web-site and add my comments from here in NZ!
Already had a read there - see a lot of people from NZ already have added reviews of the NZ concerts!
I don't suppose you recorded the radio interview, did you?!!!
Or know which station it was on so maybe I can check out their audio archives one lunch time!
The best site for Westlife fans is definitely www.westlife.com - the forum is fabulous! and we have so much fun
No didn't record the interview - was out and about on the road! But it was on More Taranaki Breakfast Show - Tuesday morning.
That's the site I've been looking at - and thanks so much for adding my comments BIMI.
Good to let them know what others across the sea here think of the shows in NZ.
(hopefully)
The more enthusiasm and support from here - the more they'll think about coming back!
how many different sites are there?
atm....im on committed......and bebo....ive been on the official a few times but hardly ever
They were brilliant!!!!
Amazing concert - first class!
Was so excited about going to see Westlife at New Plymouth on Tuesday. Stayed for a few days and only just got back! My hubby's favourite music too!
Pathetic venue - flat sport arena. Lines of narrow plastic chairs tied together with your knees touching the seat in front. Being halfway back, was had to see the stage. With long wait for the guys to come on, was getting a bit disappointed.
But when the lights finally went down and the screaming began as they came out - there was no thinking of the venue or anything else! Everyone standing at Westlife concerts we were told - and that was it for the rest of the nearly 2 hours! Everyone up and moving and singing and clapping to the music - even my hubby.
The guys were brilliant - a true professional and classy act throughout with changes of mood and clothing and excellent band fillers in between.
Their singing a every bit as good - if not better than on recordings - well better I reckon because the music was so good that it all added to the sound. But not only the excellence of the singing and performing, but the connection to the audience and personalities of the guys all coming across!
Would loved to have gone again - and thought of those lucky Auckland people who could have!
2 hours has never passed so quickly! And just can't wait until they come again - will be first in the queue for tickets then!
Hope they loved their visit to New Zealand and felt the love and warm welcome from everyone here. New Plymouth certainly put on the good weather - for them to see the country at it's best.
I cant believe how dead this thread is!! How did you all find the concerts?!
They were sooooo good in aux! =D
OMG it was defintely the best thing ive done since.......goodness I cant even remember when....hahaha.....i have a lame life...hehe
anyhoo......everything was great.....the acoustic session......the medley was fantastic!!! oh and then the encore was even better! man couldnt believe from all the screaming and stomping going on!
who went to the Auckland concert?
geeze couldnt believe that pommy chick with the tattoos.....they looks sooo awesome.....not something I would do but man did they look kewl!
I would have taken pictures but my camera couldnt even focus from so far away.....at the moment ive only got blurry pictures.....but i wasnt too fussed....I was still buzzing the morning after!!
I went to the Wellington concert and it was everything I hoped it would be ... and twenty billion times more!!!!!
It was absolutely amazing! So can't wait for two weeks time 
Oh, and the woman with the tattooed signatures on her arms - you haven't seen anything; there's a couple of woman on that side of the world with their FACES on their backs!!!!!
Talk about fanatical! One of them got Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian's face done one week and she was going to go back the next week and get Brian's face added, but then he left the band! Sooooo lucky she didn't do his tattoo the same week!!! LOL
two weeks time? OMG you going especially for them?
wow....thats soo kewl.....im jealous!....take heaps of pictures for us!!!
FACES on their BACKS? oh hell.....ok.....now thats definitely not me....
whoa! lucky about the whole Brian tattoo! but how much of a coincidence was that!? lucky woman.....but I wouldnt have minded having Brian as part of the guys..
Absolutely stunningly fantastic!!!!! (Is that a word? I think I just made up a word!)
Head across to my facebook page to check out a few pics I took from the Wellington concert on Friday night, which I wished I could go back and relive again ... and again ... and again!!! I was immensely jealous of Alaina for getting to see them TWICE in Auckland this week
Anyway, now I can look forward to Dublin I guess
Heh heh
Yay westlife made you make up a word!
Oooooo will do....I wasnt smart enough to remember a camera!!! duh! but I got some pretty good recordings/photos on my phone yaya!
When are you going to dublin? Yay when you are there you can yell out when theyre like "is there anyone from nz" when they say random countries...hmmm if they did that in welly...otherwise I will sound very much like a sillyface. Meh!
Two weeks today!!! Oh my goodness, I'm getting excited and nervous all at the same time LOL
Have you seen how massive Croke Park is?!!
And don't worry, I'll be screaming my lungs out! Not that they'll be able to hear me from the stage
Oh wow!!! Exciting!
Goodo - I expect you to come back with no voice
And no I havent! Ill google now...
FINALLY!
I made up my mind and decided to purchase a ticket!! yay me!!
OMG and then just realised when I checked out the tickets that it will be next Saturday!? OMG OMG didnt even realise how close it was.....getting too excited now! hahaha
You so will NOT regret getting a ticket!!!
Its going to be a fantastic tour 
I defintely wont be holding you against that......I totally agree yay!
I wanted to go. Lol. But I won't be, so i'll stand outside the venue
There's still tickets available to the concert on the 12th
Lol, I am poor. Very poor. Too poor paying for my production.
The last long weekend for a while just got better!
C4 is showing Westlife Video Hits on Saturday 26 April from 3.30 to 4.00 pm ... and then showing The Numbers Ones Tour DVD from 8.30 to 10.30 pm that same night!!!
Enjoy!!! I know I will
Heh heh
thanks for that BIMI i will be watching
bring on the concert...I can not wait to see them live
It's sure worth waiting for
4 weeks to go!!!! *dances around the room* Is anyone else getting excited like I am?!! LOL
Annabel Fay is the opening act for Westlife
How do you know this, anyway? Not saying that I doubt you at all ... just curious
