-Ignorera allting om du bara inte bryr dig, kan inte säga att jag gör det!-
"We know that Westlife is treated by some people as open season for slagging off pop. We seem to have become the poster boys for criticizing pop music, a reason to not like it. That doesn't really bother us in the main, but if someone I like disses Westlife, it really hurts me. It's happened a million times.
[...] We've been to a million TV studios over the years and there are still certain bands who won't even look at us or acknowledge they know us, just because we are Westlife and to them we are the epitome of what they want to remove themselves from, so they want to make a statement that they are nothing like us.
Sometimes I think it's an accessory for a rock band these days to hate Westlife with a passion, just as much as it is to have black eyeliner or tattoos or whatever. I don't really care, but it's true though. It seems important that you diss Westlife at any given opportunity! Sometimes I can't understand where the passion comes from, the sheer aggression when some people comment on Westlife.
[...] By contrast, the biggest Irish band of the lot, U2, has never said a bad word about us ever. They'll have been asked about us a thousand times - the Irish thing, the boy band thing, all that - but not once have I heard them say a bad word about Westlife. And they are what you might call proper celebrities!
If the biggest rock band in the world actually says, "Fair play to Westlife", then it kind of puts the sneers of a few fucking smelly little scroats into perspective. Who knows, perhaps in alternative circles where people strive to be different, it will become so commonplace to hate Westlife that suddenly it'll be the coolest thing to actually love Westlife.
Maybe!
Not.
Also, I always think no matter how good or successful you are, someone won't be impressed.
[...] At the end of the day, our fans don't care what the Arctic Monkeys or U2 think of Westlife. They just think what they personally want to about us. If our fans like our music, then they have every right to enjoy it without criticism. If it makes them happy, then that makes us relevant. I'm not trying to change the world or do anything political, I'm literally just singing and some people - quite a few, to be fair - like it. So it's between us and our fans. They like us and we like to perform for them, so why do people feel the need to get in between that relationship? They should just leave us alone and let us and our fans get on with it.
We're having a great time."
