Louis Walsh, the managerof fellow Irish boy band Boyzone,came to know the group after he was contacted by Filan's mother, but the groupfailed to secure a BMG recorddeal with Simon Cowell.
LouisWalsh是爱尔兰男孩乐队男孩地带的经理,还是因为Filan的母亲给他打的电话才听说了这个乐队,但是乐队没能就为BMG录制唱片和Simon Cowell达成协议。
Cowelltold Walsh: "You are going to have to fire at least three of them. Theyhave great voices, but they are the ugliest band I have ever seen in mylife."[5] Threemembers of the band (Lacey, Keighron and Garrett) were told they would not be partof the new group, and auditions were held in Dublin where Nicky Byrne and Brian McFadden wererecruited.
Cowell跟Walsh说:“你至少得炒掉乐队里的三个人,虽然他们的嗓音很好,但是他们是我见过的最没有颜值的乐队。”之后,乐队的三名成员(Lacey,Keighron和Garrett)被要求离开了乐队,在都柏林又吸收了Nicky Byrne和Brian McFadden入队,并在那里进行了试音。
Thenew group, formed on 3 July 1998, was renamed Westside but that name wasalready in use by another band, so it was changed to Westlife. In Westlife– Our Story, Byrne revealed that, unlike the others in the group, he waskeen to change the name to West High. McFadden also changed the spelling of hisname to Bryan to make it easier to sign autographs. Boyzone singer Ronan Keating wasbrought in to co-manage the group with Walsh. The band then released an EPtitled Swear ItAgain
1998年7月3日,乐队成立并被命名为Westside,但之后发现另有乐队叫这个名字,于是改名Westlife。在西城男孩 - 我们的故事 一书中,Byrne揭秘说,他不像其他成员那样,他非常想把名字改成West High,而McFadden也把他名字的拼写改成了Bryan,这样更有利于签名。

牢不可破, 转机,和Brian McFadden的离开(2002–04)
On9 March 2004, just three weeks prior to embarking on their fourth worldtour, BrianMcFadden left the group to spend more time with his family and work onsolo projects.[citation needed] Onthat day, a press conference was held where all the group's members werepresent, each giving emotional individual speeches. McFadden's final publicperformance as part of Westlife was at Newcastle upon Tyne'sPowerhouse nightclub on 27 February 2004.[27][28] Hesubsequently began a solo career, and reverted the spelling of his first nameback to its original 'Brian'. He released his first solo single, "Real ToMe", which entered the UK chart at No. 1 and soon after, hereleased his first solo album Irish Son under Sony Music.[29] McFaddenlater released more singles, but only with moderate success.
2004年3月9日,就在他们即将出发开始第四次环球演出时,Brian McFadden离开乐队去和家人待在一起,并着手自己的独唱节目。那天,还召开了新闻发布会,乐队全体成员出席,每个人都发表了热情洋溢的讲话。McFadden最后出场的演出时2004年2月27日在泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔的动力夜总会。随后,他开始了他的独唱生涯,并把名字的拼写改回了原来的“Brian”。他发布了他的第一支单曲“Real To Me”,此曲成为英国排行榜的第一名,很快,他又在索尼音乐公司出版了他的第一张单曲合辑“Irish Son”。之后,他又发布了一些单曲,但都成绩平平。
Lessthan a month after McFadden's departure, the group kicked off their "Turnaround Tour".A live version, from the tour, of "Flying Without Wings"was released as an official UK download, earning them the title of the veryfirst UK Downloads #1。
McFadden离开后不到一个月,乐队开始了他们的”转机之旅”。巡演中的一场现场版的“FlyingWithout Wings”作为正式的英国的下载音乐而发布,使他们成为英国下载量第一的乐队。
GreatestHits and split (2011–12)精选歌曲以及分手
On14 March 2011, Westlife confirmed that they had left Cowell after 13 years andhis record label SycoMusic after nine years. The group cited Syco's decision not to releasea second single from Gravity as the reason Byrne felt it asanother reason of being unloved,
2011年3月14日,西城男孩宣布,经过13年与Cowell的合作以及9年和他的唱片公司Syco Music的合作,他们决定离开了。乐队宣布了Syco决定不发布他们的从“引力”选出的第二只单曲,这也是Byrne认为他们不再被重视的原因。
Wesigned to Simon back in 1998 and he was brilliant, but then came thedevelopment of The X Factor and American Idol. Simonbecame famous himself and his interests went that way rather than on Westlife.We almost felt a little bit unloved with Simon Cowell, if I was to be honest.We had it (full time support) with Simon but he got so busy and would do it atthe very last minute and we needed someone who was on it all the time。
我们从1998年就和Simon签约,他那时很棒,但之后他又开发了The X Factor和American Idol。Simon越来越有名,他的精力放在了那边而不是西城男孩这里。说实话,我们甚至觉得和Simon疏远了。我们曾经(全部时间)一直得到Simon的支持,但他太忙了,现在都帮不到我们了,而我们实在需要一个全力支持我们的人。

MyLove (Lyrics)
Anempty street
An empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We're holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
SoI say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love
Itried to read
I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop
To keep myself from thinking
Ohno
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And all my love
We're holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
SoI say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again, my love
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
Tohold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from my heart
You're all I'm thinking of
And reaching for the love that seems so far
Soso I say a little prayer
Hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again, my love
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love
See you in a prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again
Over seas from coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love
