Michael Buble has paid Westlife the ultimate compliment
Michael Buble has paid Westlife the ultimate compliment, claiming their version of his hit song Home is better than the original.
The hunky star, who paid a visit to Dublin last week, initially had doubts about agreeing to let the band do the cover, but is now delighted he gave it the go ahead. The Canadian star went on to explain that he was extremely jealous when the foursome were given the opportunity to shoot their video in an airplane.
He said: "Westlife have done a tremendous job with the song. I thought they sang incredibly on it.
"It was really a great job, I actually preferred it.
"They had the beautiful harmony parts and they made the choruses so big and of course they had an aeroplane in their video. I was just a little bit jealous.
"It probably had, like, room service and fancy condiments. I just had a crappy theatre in mine."
The singer came face to face with the lads backstage at the X Factor, when they appeared on the results show on the same night.
