Here are some of the things you've been saying about it on the forum...

XxNickysChicxX

It was incredible, the close ups, all the group hugs, the speeches, the atmosphere of the whole thing. It was all so emotional, absolutely amazing, I can't choose a favourite bit, coz I loved it all.

Wendywoo

Wow it was fantastic can't wait to see it again!! So much stuff you miss while you're watching it and the lads were having a ball.

Cheb

It's amazing. So glad they showed Kian running back from the medley, miles away from the others, it had me and my friend in stitches on the night and it did yesterday as well. Oh and the part where they took the lights down and just had the crowd lights was just "WOW", that got me.

NIXCHIK_TB

The DVD was fantastic and I can not wait to see it again!!

jojo789uk

Me and my Auntie went to the Birmingham advance screening, and I can honestly say we absolutely loved it!! We were singing, clapping, crying, laughing, and the lads were absolutely amazing, put on a fantastic show as always, very emotional!

Nickyslillover

A little bit of Westlife in our lives
A little bit of Blonde hair down the sides,
A little bit of Tan is what we need,
A little bit of Skills to make us plead,
A little bit of Irish Luck in defence,
A little bit of Byrne it all makes sense,
A little bit of Singing from the fans
A little bit of Nicky he's our man!

Sung to Mambo no.5

Alyson31

Nicky Byrne you're going to Wembley, you can do no wrong
You're Irish Charm your beautiful smile,
Take on England just for a while,
with Nicky on the team they wont get the ball, oh so hard England will fall, with your fancy footwork and dribbling skills, they'll be on the pitch falling on their knees
wishing Nicky Byrne was on their team.

Katheartsshane

Nicky you're a skilled man,
Hard man, shouting on the pitch,
Gonna take on England today,
You got your eye on the goal, passion in your soul,
Gonna bury that ball right in the hole

(sang to the tune of We Will Rock You)

Nicky_Lover94

Go Nicky Byrne you're ruling this whole thing, you know
(Go Nicky, Go Nicky Byrne)
Go Nicky Byrne we bet you're gonna score a goal
(Go Nicky, Go Nicky Byrne)
We want supreme, and we will scream for you Nicky
(Go, go, go, go go go go go go go go!)

Tune: Greased Lightning

WestlifeUSfanTN

Danalco

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (a song loved by all the lads and to get the playlist off to a good start)
Let's Get It Started - Black Eyed Peas (a great song to get all the lads started partying)
Sweet Child Of Mine - Guns n Roses (classic rock type song for Kian)
Survivor - Destiny's Child (important song for me as I have went through a lot and I'm still achieving my dreams, the same as Westlife 10 years)
Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake (For Nicky to get his groove on lol)
Hero - Mariah Carey (One of Mark's most loved songs)
Don't Stop ‘Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson (for Shane to attempt his Jackson dancing skills lol)
Celebration - Kool and the Gang (to celebrate 10 years)
Flying Without Wings - Westlife (so they can sit back and relax in one of their finest music moments now that they are on a break)
Thank You For The Music - Abba (To end the playlist with a thank you song to the lads for all the music over the years)

Shane Gillian4ever

Savage Garden - I Knew I loved You Before I Met You
It's a beautiful song & one of my all time favourites, it always reminds me of some wonderful Westlife memories with them and with friends
Lonestar - Amazed
Such a beautiful beautiful song, a friend of mine introduced me to it about 6 years ago, just before Shane's wedding, and it's defenitely a favourite. And that should be dedicated to Shane & Gillian as it's 'their' song
Westlife - You Raise Me Up
This always makes me think about my family and my loved ones who have sadly enough passed away. It's such a beautiful song with a thousand meanings
Stevie Wonder & others - That's What Friends Are For
An amazing song that means a lot to me. And I would love to dedicate this to the lads as they gave me 4 best friends in the world and I wouldn't know where I'd be without them!
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
Such a good warming up song for a concert. I just get into the mood (not that I wouldn't be anyway) and it's one of those songs you just gotta sing along to, and it's of course one of Kian's favourite bands
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
You just can't forgot Michael with 2 massive fans in the band. He's a great singer / entertainer and I defenitely loved their performance of Billie Jean in 2006
Bryan Adams - Everything I Do, I Do It For You
Beautiful classic song that everyone can sing along to. And I know I the lads love it too. And yes it sounds cheesy, but everything I do, I do it for them. Well not everything, but I've travelled to the UK, Germany & Ireland just for them...
Elton John - I'm Still Standin'
I don't think this needs any explaination. Pure Westlife when it comes to the lyrics. Ha, they can scream this off the roof tops after 10 years at the top and you know, laugh best who laughs last!
Prince - Kiss
I gotta mention this one, because when I heard the first few lines for this on the Greatest Hits tour I was convinced it was just Prince singing that and my chin hit the ground when I noticed it was actually Mark. His best performance ever!
Elvis Costello - She
This has a very special meaning to me since my cousin's wedding. And I think this is how every man should feel about their wives/girlfriends. So lads, this is for your girls!

schneckelchen19

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama (that's my favourite song! It reminds me of my hometown, my family and my friends. The lads should never forget from where they come from and that they have families - and fans - that will always be there for them.)
Westlife - World Of Our Own ( I hear that song when I'm sad and it always makes me happy again)
Don McLean - American Pie ( a great song to dance and to sing along)
James Blunt - 1973 (a beautiful song to relax and to think of great moments with people you love)
Kid Rock - All Summer Long ( it reminds me of all these great parties that I've celebrated a short time ago because I've passed my school- leaving. It's the perfect song to make party all night long! )
Two Is One - Never Give Up (it should remind Westlife to never give up their dreams)
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You ( yes, Westlife are unique! The lads should know that)
Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson - The Way I Are (the favourite song of me and my boyfriend)
Bryan Adams - Summer Of ´69 ( for the lads; to think of the passed time with so many amazing concerts -especially Croke Park- and such a big success during the last 10 years!...)
Seeed - Aufstehn ( a good song for the guys to learn a little bit German. So they have to do something if their break gets boring)

julieamber

Elton John - I guess that's why they call it the blues - my number 1 song every, love, love, love it, please do a cover!!
Ocean colour scene - The Riverboat Song, reminds me of sunny days in a beer garden!
George Michael - Faith - George Michael, need I say any more?
Amy Winehouse - You know I'm no good - Amazing artist, brilliant lyrics
Stone roses - Sally cinnamon - from one of the best albums ever, brings me back to 1990, a brilliant summer with all my friends
Michael Jackson - Way you make me feel - love this song...for no reason other than it's a brilliant song!
My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade - brilliant song, brilliant video
Creep - Radiohead - Another brilliant band, could have picked many of their songs but Creep wins every time!
Aerosmith - I don't wanna miss a thing - ‘our song' me and my hubby's first slow set song!! aah
Westlife - When I'm with you - from the new album. I'm a massive Mark fan, think he has such a fantastic rich voice and I love his harmony of ‘when I'm with you' around the 2 minute mark in this song, listen and you'll see what I mean, my favourite part of the whole album!

shnicky2000

Wake Up Boo! Boo Radleys (so you can do a dance in the morning and get you moving)
When The Going Gets Tough Boyzone (u can have fun trying to put on Ronan's voice)
Relight My Fire Take That (if you weren't a fan you are now)
Rise and Fall Craig David Ft Sting (slow things down a bit Kian and Nicky would be good at this song)
My Boo! Usher Ft Alicia Keys (song that you can dance to with the guy/girl u love)
When You Believe Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston (lifts your spirits)
Town Called Malice The Jam (makes you want to jump up n move your booty)
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing Aerosmith (A bit of a cool Down)
In your Eyes Peter Gabriel (everyone knows the chorus and a beautiful song would suit Shane and Mark's voices.)
Go the distance Michael Bolton (can't beat a Disney Theme tune)

LGRANNYVILLE89

NICKELBACK - Photograph (Recaptures happy memories from the past, I know looking at tour photos in years to come will bring back the best memories)
BILL MEDLEY & JENNIFER WARNES - (I've Had) The Time Of My Life (I'm sure the lads have had the time of their lives over the last 10 years, us fans certainly have!!!)
THE COMMITMENTS - Mustang Sally (A great Irish band from the past and a fab song)
R. KELLY - I Believe I Can Fly (A song with an encouraging message; Always believe in yourself! Plus I believe it is one of Shane's Faves)
ARCTIC MONKEYS - I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor - (I'm sure the lads look good on the dancefloor, they definitely do on stage! And a bit of the Arctic's for Mark)
U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On your Own (The lads have come all this was together, even through the hard times they have stuck at it and supported each other)
BEACH BOYS - Surfing USA (A jolly song to add life to the playlist, dedicated to beach bum Kian)
GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS - You'll Never Walk Alone (this song means a lot to me sending a shiver down my spine. To start off with I am a big Liverpool fan. It sends a message to me saying that even when times are hard don't give up. You may feel alone but you are never alone. At the end of it all will be something positive)
WESTLIFE - Flying Without Wings (An absolute CLASSIC! I believe the lads love singing it on tour as they can relate to it 'Some find it in the face of their children, Some find it in their lovers eyes'. It also reminds me of what's missing in my life and what is needed to make it complete!)
MICHAEL BOLTON - Steel Bars (Hopefully this song would remind the lads of their partners and the love they have for them now and forever. Prisoners Of Love)

Living on A Prayer - Bon Jovi - dedicated to Kian's inner rock god
Hero - Mariah Carey - for inspiring Mark
All I Want Is You - U2 - one of my favourite songs of all-time when I was younger - it's rather haunting and I love the guitar
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton - a great pre-concert warm up
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen - this got stuck in my head between seeing Westlife and the Cadbury ad - instant mood lifter
Grace Kelly - Mika - tiaras and glowsticks and silly banners, this song brings back memories of Westlife's first Aussie tour and hanging out with friends I don't get to see enough of
Buttons - Pussy Cat Dolls - reminds me of Nicky - sexy song for a sexy lad
Flying Without Wings - Westlife - the compilation wouldn't be complete without a little Westlife - it's a gorgeous song that never fails to make me cry

The Calling- Wherever You Will Go (because no matter where I am I will always be a Westlife fan)
Elton John- I'm Still Standing (because the boys have stood tall through all of the criticism they've ever had and that makes me so proud of them)
The Contours- Do You Love Me (because it reminds me of the Greatest Hits Tour, Brian and my one of my favourite films, Dirty Dancing)
Frank Sinatra- My Way (because the lads have done it their own way, and to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way)
The Eagles- Hotel California (because being a Westlife fan, 'you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave'- being a Westlife fan is for life)
Lonestar- Amazed (because the song just sums up every time I see or listen to the boys, I'm just amazed by them, and I know Shane loves the song)

My most treasured memory has to be when a friend agreed on going to the Greatest Hits tour with me. A day later she sent me an e-mail, I cry whenever I read it.
At that time I was feeling rather down and in the e-mail she wrote that she had noticed. She told me to enjoy life because life is beautiful and that it's worth it to enjoy. We'd have lots of fun at the concert, she wrote with conviction.
The thing however that stands out is the following sentence, she wrote: I'm still enjoying the look in your eyes that you had when I said that I was going to the Westlive concert with you. She didn't even know how to spell Westlife but she would go, just for me. I then knew that I had a very special friend. She still is A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND!!

Westlife have had a special song for every moment of my life in the last 10 years. When I had my daughter who needed surgery over 2yrs, they were there for me on the CD player in hospital, when I had surgery, they were in my walkman, when my dad got ill, they brought me comfort and helped me through sleepless nights on the MP3 player. When my son was born, he was humming their tunes by a year old! Now he's 3, he adores them. He knows all the words, even to old albums. Out shopping he hears them and shouts "MUMMY WESTLIFE ARE SINGING FOR YOU"! He cannot wait for his first concert! The boys have helped me through so much, they are always a great support through their wonderful music. Thanks lads, your amazing xxxx

Hard to pick one memory, as I've got 10 years filled with them. Highlight being meeting them, the show I've seen and of course Croke Park, but a very personal memory is listening to 'You Light Up My Life' with my best friend from Brazil when I first met her in Italy, we just sat on the bed eating chocolate, me filling her in about the latest Westlife news like we'd been together like that for years. Without Westlife we never would have met, and now whenever I hear that song I'm back there with her, even when we're on different continents. The friends I met through Westlife are the best friends in the world, and along with all the Westlife memories brought me something for life!

I've never seen them in concert or been lucky enough to meet them. But the moment that sticks in my mind most is being sat in my lounge room watching Greatest Hits DVD. My hip hop loving brother had his hip hop loving friends over (who were giving me absolute hell). Written In The Stars was playing, I was trying my hardest not to cry while watching it. My brother told me in front of his mates that I should be proud of supporting a band that meant so much and could bring out that emotion, gave me a hug and turned it up louder. That was it - the tears were falling.

There are so many Westlife memories for me... EVERY time I meet them, seeing Mark on his Birthday this year, all the TV shows and concerts I've been to... but the one that really stands out has to be Croke. From the build up while standing in the queue with friends, to the concert itself. And what made it even better was that I was stood right in the centre of the front row, so I could see all the joy and emotion in their faces as they performed. They looked so proud on that stage, putting on the best show ever.
And I'm sure if you asked the lads what THEIR most significant memory was, I'm sure they would say Croke, so with over 80,000 people standing behind me, I feel so lucky to have been there to celebrate with them... and those memories will stay with me forever!
