Westlife. Are they turning into the cover kings?

I have spoken to many people about this, and my conclusion is yet to be answered properly. Before all you devout westlife fans get all steamed up and excited, i actually think they sound very good. However of all the songs they have released, most have been a hit for someone else before them.

So my question is this, “Would they be as famous , if all they sang was their own material?”

Many people i have spoken too are getting fed up with listening to them sing other peoples songs. Its a bit of a no brainer really, they only sing songs that were already hits. So by default there is already a fanbase who like the song. What i would like to see is them release a song that was never famous, because it absolutely bombed when it was released originally. A challenge i very much doubt they would ever take up.

We know they have talent, i think they should start using it a bit more.
