Boy band on their way!

I am absolutely thrilled that Westlife are coming to New Zealand in May this year. My sister and I have already decided we’re buying tickets. Can’t miss their concert! I have been a fan since they started in 1998. Although I do admit I have been less of a fan in recent year, but will always sing a long to their songs. I guess it doesn’t help that my CDs were stolen from my car a year back, so I haven’t been listening to their CDs recently - but every so often they come on the radio.

Those who have known me since High School will know that I was the biggest boy-band fanatic. Starting with Hanson. Haha. Whatever happened to those long-haired, gypsy boys? I think they’re all married with children. I also loved Backstreet Boys, the American version of Westlife.

I knew the day would finally come when a boy-band would visit New Zealand. Bit of a shame I’m not still in my fanatical stage (I had posters, videos (no DVDs then), scrapbooks of their pictures from magazines, all their CDs, I knew all their birthdays, favourite foods and colours - obsessed I tell ya!!). But now I have matured to the rich ol’ age of 23 and seem to have lost my flare for boy-band trivia.

I know when I get to the show I will know all the words and sing my little heart out and love every minute. Maybe the obsession will begin again and I’ll rush home and put posters up in my bedroom to the complaining noise of Rob refusing to sleep in the same room as a boy band.
