Manufactured bands are big in Ireland. The mediocre
bastards are bold about it, too. The really big act
currently is Westlife — the name says it all, and the
music is just that bland. The newest
powerhouse, made up of three guys and three girls drawn
from thousands of auditionists, is a group called
"Six." The brains behind them must have been inspired
by the existing boy-group called "5ive."
It bears mentioning but needs not be said that there is
no creativity involved in the music of these retards.
That is, in fact, their definitive feature, and likely
the reason people feel comfortable with them. If one of
them ever put a pencil to paper they'd probably be fired
on the spot. It is not likely that any one of them could
even really sing, given a live microphone—which nobody
in their right mind would give them.
