Westlife Song Puns

You’re enjoying a Reeling in the Years episode and on comes Westlife/Boyzone song...please don’t remind me of that awful period in our history. Also none of their songs work with our history. Dickheads!

The reason im looking for radio station instead of just listening to Spotify playlist is because I love listening to DJ in between songs, I also want to improve my english listening skills and learning whats currently happening around USA.

My mind is blown right now. I could have sworn the finalists sang original songs in the finale. I especially thought the winning idol always got an original song. I could have sworn they marketed Flying Without Wings as an original song for Ruben Studdard. Like they did for Kelly Clarkson with A Moment Like This. They never once mentioned it was a cover. I feel so lied to all these years later.

Was A Moment Like This a cover too?

Sorry if this is stupid and out of touch I havnt watched American Idol since 2005 but I just learned this and figured this would be the appropriate subreddit.

This comes without saying but he occasionally talks about "this charting song that is everywhere" and I never even heard of it lol.

For example, the Roses remix by SAINt JHN and Giant by Calvin Harris and the Rag'n'Bone Man (do you even know who he is?) charted big where I live in 2019, yet I don't think Todd ever talked about them. Also Country is literally non-existant, so I find it funny that it's relevant enough in the US for Todd to acknowledge it.

Nakakamiss mag Karaoke, at dahil pwede na ulit, mejo curious lang, ano yung pam malakasan mong Videoke/Karaoke song?

Baka kantahin ko later kahit wala sa tono. 😅😅

You may hit me up in the DMs if you just want to talk, or ask for anything, advice, etc. 😊😊

I have a friend via the net, a kid who is going through a lot of stuff. I can't be there in person for her, but I want to offer support. One way I can do that is with music. So I sent her Bill Withers' "Lean on Me" and Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Waters". I'm looking for more songs with messages of support, friendship, and caring. Any genre.

Can anyone give me an earphone recommendation? I don't know which type of audio I love but I can list a few of my favourite song/artist

• John Denver songs (country road, rocky mountain, etc)
• she's gone
• le temps de cathedrales
• can't help falling in love with you
• life could be a dream
• Mr blue sky
• what a wonderful world
• on the road again
• the prayer
• j-pop genre
• anime song
• Bruno Mars
• Yiruma
• Michael learn to rock
• Westlife
• indie genre
• imagine dragon
• one direction
• one ok rock
• Josh Groban And many more

I'm currently planning to get a Sony xb55ap or find another earphone that has a similar budget (under 45 USD)

I have a song stuck in my head that I heard at the grocery store that goes something like “and I hope that one day I’ll see you again”. It is a single man singing it and the instrumental/background music is a guitar. If it isn’t a guitar that I recall correctly, it is a very simple instrumental.

I know it isn’t “See you again” by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa, “I’ll see you again” by Westlife, or “I’ll see you again some day” by Terry McBride and the Ride.

Thank you in advance.

So for context, the other day, Little Mix (a British girl group) was trending, and not for fun reasons. Long story short, one member quit back in 2020 citing mental health reasons. She released her first solo song last week. And there's been some drama floating around, suggesting that there is/was a rift between this member and the other members. In short, the Little Mix members may not have been as close as Little Mix fans thought all these years. Emphasis on "may", because I don't want to take sides and I don't really know the truth.

I'm just a casual fan of Little Mix songs, but I did closely follow their season on the X Factor UK. In reading about the issue (I was bored yesterday, haha), I can't help but reflect on other groups that I have liked in the past, and in the present -- BTS. I also can't help but compare the career trajectories and the dynamics of Kpop and western groups.

In my high school days, pop groups were super popular (the late 1990s to early 2000s). Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, *N SYNC, Westlife, Boyzone, etc. One member leaving after a few years was quite common. And the common reason was they envisioned a different career path for themselves. Sometimes, there's some behind-the-scenes rift between the members. But generally speaking, the reason is rooted in the fact that not everyone was aligned with where the group is going. And often, some personal issues get in the way. If the issue involving Little Mix is true, then they belong to the same category.

Knowing all this just makes me appreciate BTS more. Other than the music, one of the things that really impressed me with BTS is their group dynamic. I love how they all have different personalities but are still able to truly get along. I wasn't into Kpop before BTS, so my points of reference are just the western pop groups that I followed back in the day.

With BTS, I don't see ego getting in the way at all. I feel like in any decision they make -- from something as serious as which tracks make it into the album to something as mundane as who will carry the grocery bags, haha -- everyone knows their role in the group but that ultimately, what is best for the group comes first. And while they don't always agree, they've developed the system to resolve these differences (and I am not just talking about their affinity for rock-paper-scissors to decide things, haha). And that, what is best for the group comes first. Given that BTS also puts out so much content, there are enough opp

Do your worst!

Songs have been a major part in my English learning journey. I used to listen to English songs and I literally didn't understand a word, I was still a child, and that has greatly helped me to develop my listening skill. From time to time, a random sentence from a song sticks to my head and I keep unconsciously repeating it over and over again and then ask what does it mean in Arabic and learn it. Over time I learnt hundreds of words and sentences, through which I was able to extract and form rules. Finally when I went to school I was taught the basics and I then was able to arrange all of my knowledge in its proper form. I did Artists I'm used to listen to are Chris de Burgh, Madonna, Billy Joel, Kylie Minogue and bands like Air Supply, Aerosmith, Westlife. I just loved their music, and lucky me they had perfectly clear pronunciation so I could hear everything they sang clearly. Now I want to do exactly the same thing in Russian. I want to learn Russian but first I want to warm up by music. I some of my favorite artists so you native Russian fellows could help me by suggesting artists in the same genre. Thank you very much in advance!

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Inspired by this post on strange songs on the US chart, I thought I’d try to explain the long and strong tradition of launching odd tracks to the top of the charts in the UK.

While novelty songs can appear spontaneously, nowadays they tend to cluster around two events - Christmas and the BBC’s Comic Relief telethons. After a period where the Christmas #1 was dominated by winners of reality singing competition The X Factor, Christmas is now a time when charity singles do well. These can be serious, but for the past three years YouTuber LadBaby has managed to reach #1 at Christmas with his songs We Built This City... on Sausage Rolls, I Love Sausage Rolls, and Don't Stop Me Eatin', which makes him the third act after The Beatles and Spice Girls to have three consecutive Christmas #1s. Other novelty Christmas #1s include Bob the Builder’s Can We Fix It and the absolutely terrifying Mr Blobby, both featuring children's characters. It's also worth mentioning Wombling Merry Christmas, another single based on children's TV, which reached #2 in 1974.

Comic Relief is a biennial telethon on the BBC structured around comedy, so it’s naturally produced quite a lot of novelty singles. These fall into three basic categories:

• Comedians covering popular songs, like Barry Islands in the Stream featuring two characters from popular comedy Gavin and Stacey.
• Artists releasing a song featuring comedians, e.g. Help!, a Beatles cover by Bananarama, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, and Kathy Burke (the latter three as 'Lananeeneenoonoo').
• Artists releasing a song with a ‘funny’ video, such as Westlife’s version of Uptown Girl.

The BBC’s other telethon, Children in Need, tends to release ‘serious’ singles, but in 2009 comedian Peter Kay released a medley featuring various children’s tv characters.

Now we get to novelty songs that achieved random success, which in many ways are the most bizarre. These go right back to the beginning of cha
