...:::The voices that made me who I am today:::...
Been a fan of these lads since I was 9 yrs old. I grew up listening to this amazing boy band in a third world country all the way till now when I moved to the States.I remember the first moment when I fell in love with these guys while accidentally saw their video "Uptown Girl" on MTV. (and back then MTV was a real deal, nowadays all I see is just saggy pants, gold grillz, chain hang low, and shakin booties)Westlife music is not something that you crank it up high, shake your head, and start break out dancing. There is no "swag" whatsoever in their music. That is not how you listen to Westlife. Their music is all about heart-warming love ballads. The kind that you can turn it on in your car and just sit in there, close your eyes, lay back your head, and just hum along.Every hits they make, and every lyric they sing, I swear they all are still here in my head dated back in 1999 with the singles such as: "If I Let You Go", "Swear It Again", and "Flying Without Wings"... The kind of music that can last for a lifetime if you truly are a fan.Don't believe me? If you call yourself a music lover in America, how about try to sing the first verse of the following songs:"Goodies" Ciara"Crank That" Souja Boy"Whatever you Like" T.I"Low" Flo Ridaor even "Empire State of Mind" Jay-Z ft. Alicia KeysStill remember? Or you don't even recognize any of them? Let me tell you a hint. *They're all #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S not long ago. The kind that got kids in High School go crazy back when I was a student myself.I admit some of those hits are quite catchy, but music in the U.S are short-lived. They rose to fame on the Billboard for a couple of weeks, and then they are completely forgotten afterward once they got taken over. Even if you're still hang on to those songs, would you feel OK to turn it up loud in your party? Or even in your car with friends riding with you? How would your friends think about you? That your music is awesome? Or you are "Old-Skool" still listening to those "lame old" beat? And then quickly hit the "Next" button searching for the next song that is a little more "current"?Anyways, back to the lads. Except for the time period when I was still living in a third world country where they sold no official release CDs, I bought all of their album releases from Back Home (2007), Where We Are (2009), Gravity (2010), and this one Greatest Hits (2011). All through Amazon of course, because Westlife doesn't exist in USA.Living in the U.S, it is very hard for me to answer the questions "What kind of music you listen to?" "What's your favorite artist?" My friends ask me every time, and my answer has always been the same: "Westlife". The reaction is always: "Who the h*** is Westlife?" (not a surprise). I never try to explain who these lads are to them. I just put on "My Love", "Soledad", "Us Against The World", or "How To Break A Heart" for them to try out. As the result, their reaction afterward is also always the same... THEY LOVED THEM ALL!!!Westlife. My band. My music. My life. Doesn't matter that this is their final album, I will continue to support these lads to the best of my ability despite I am living in a country where no one knows who they are.W4ever,

Awesome and uplifting.
Westlife is one of my favorite groups to listen to. The harmony and sound are perfect. No matter how difficult the day may be for me, Westlife ALWAYS refreshes the soul and renews the spirit. Their music gives words to my feelings for my wife and reminds me how precious she is to me. Thank you Amazon for making their music available. I think Westlife is one of the best Irish imports into our nation. Perfect music for easy listening. The CDs are great. (I have had problems with the quality of the DVDs even when purchasing the correct ones for usage in the USA.) But the CDs are awesome. Since the group has never performed in the USA, the CDs are a great price compared to traveling to the UK to attend a live concert.

The cover
A crack run across the cover.

Farewell to Westlife
Among boy bands, Westlife was the rare one that survived to adulthood. Formed in 1998, they eventually disbanded in 2012. Their voices matured, but their music stayed as soulful and compelling as ever. The "Greatest Hit" set is a fantastic value for money--2 CDs and a DVD of their top music videos--and includes their early top hits as well as some of the latest music. "Flying Without Wings" remains my favorite, but "Beautiful World" runs a close second. Westlife had previously released a "Greatest Hit" album but this is their newest, and the most complete. It's a great introduction to Westlife, and if you've always been a fan, it's a wonderful way to keep their music close even as we bid them adieu.

WILL ALWAYS LOVE THESE LADS
I pre-ordered this knowing that there will only be one new single on the CD ("Lighthouse" co-written by John Shanks and Gary Barlow) IT'S RIDICULOUS FOR PEOPLE TO POST A LOW RATING ON A PRODUCT THEY HAVEN'T PURCHASED. Customers want to know about the actual merchandise, not your personal bias. I hope Amazon removes the review I'm speaking of. Since this is a Greatest Hits CD, and I own most of their CD's, I can give a FAIR opinion. Yes, Westlife does many covers, but they do them beautifully. It's their AMAZING vocals that have sold millions of cd's worldwide, and I am buying this CD because I wanted to have all of their "greatest hits" on one CD. Plus, the new single "Lighthouse" is awesome imo.
