I don’t have anything against westlife, but isn’t “I’m already there” the 2nd Lonestar song they have ruined? They can’t do it as well as Lonestar, and so I don’t see why they have copied it at all! I was aghast!

Rick, Your just a jealous bastard! Leave westlife alone..they don’t ruin songs they fix them and they do a pretty good job of it! so leave them alone because i don’t see you trying to do their job!
!And if you had to keep on top to keep all their fans screaming you would probably do the Same!
People like you drive me fucking crazy! Jesus!!

To be honest I don’t think they DO fix them. All these covers may have higher production values, the singing may be technically better, it may all be slicker and more professional, but none of them really have the heart and realism of the originals. I wouldn’t say they “ruin” the songs, but they don’t anything for the songs, and the songs don’t do anything for them.
