Top 3 Boyband songs

*Note - This contains only boyband from when I was "young". Like from 1999-2008 ish. So NO One Direction or Justin Bieber (luckily... Have nothing against them, just don't like the music).

1) Westlife - I'll see you again.

 

"You're gone now, gone but not forgotten

I cant say this to your face

But I know you hear". 

The video is from their "Where we are"-tour. Two of the members, Kian and Nicky, had just lost their fathers. I think that is what making this performance so moving and good. Because they mean every word they're singing. And they know they're gonna see them again. Im almost crying when I'm writing this hehe.. 

2) A1 - Like a rose

"You give me strength so I stand tall. 

Within this bed of earth, just like a rose."

This song is the most cheesy boyband-song ever, but still I find it romantic and beautiful. At least when I don't look at the video. Hehe, what were they thinking?? But hey, I still want to slowdance with a nice man to this song, so well done A1!

3) Boyzone - No matter what

"No matter if the sun don't shine

Or if the skies aren't blue

No matter what the ending

My life began with you"

I don't know which song is more clisjê, this one or "Like a rose". But if we look away from all the typical boyband-things in this video. The song is quite nice! To believe in yourself and dont let other people drag you down ^^ The quote above is my favourite from the song!

BONUS-song 

Westlife - Lighthouse 

Just because this is the last song from my favourite band, and Come on - the song is awsome! ;)

"You're the light in the dark

You're the seat in the park

You're the lighthouse

You're the lighthouse

I need You're the key to the door

You're the port in the storm

And I need to find the shore

Cos I can't swim anymore

You always guide me back to solid ground

You're my lighthouse".

Mark Read

As the title says, I'm going to write a little about the singer Mark Read. Most of you guys might know him from the Boy/Man-band a1.

He's from a quite musical family, and he started playing the piano when he was only 3 years old! Mark was only seven when he took the interest in the art of performing, after he joined his parents on stage when they were in a band (sorry about that bad english!).



When he was around 16-19, he got many offers about taking part in different projects, but it was first when he met Ben Adams, that his music-career really got a boost. Read got his first contract when he was only 20 years old!

When the band broke up in 2002, he chosed to write songs for other artists. The 25th of May 2009, his first soloalbun; "Peace at last", were launched. In August 2009, Mark performed again with a1 in the norwegian summershow "Allsang på Grensen".

This song makes me wanna dance!

In November 2009 they released the single "Take you home", which was the official Red Nose Day-song in Norway. The band also had several reunion-concerts at Christiania theatre in Oslo (i was there juhuuu!). After this concerts, it was confirmed, a1 was back together as a band!

Janyary 23th 2010 he and a1 participated in the Norwegian finals of Eurovision song contest, with the song "Don't wanna lose you again". They got a very nice second place, behind Didrik Solli-Tangen.

In October 2010, the first a1 album in 8 years, "Waiting for daylight" were released!

Absolutely hillarious!!

Found this on youtube, and I can't stop laughing of theese "clowns"!
