MOLOKO'S ROISIN SLAGS OFF WESTLIFE AS "UGLY" December 2000
Moloko lead singer Roisin Murphy has become the latest music celeb to take a pot shot at Westlife. She has gone straight for the jugular and branded the manufactured boyband as "ugly", and saying that she can only remember one of their tracks, despite them having seven number ones.
She said that she couldn't understand how they have had so many hits. "What's that all about," she asked. "Who are Westlife? I don't get it, they're as ugly as sin, so I don't know how all the girls fancy them."
She is the latest in a growing line of pop stars taking a swipe at the band. Recently, Claire Richards from Steps blasted: "They always seem to release in a week where there's nothing else or there's really low sales so they've always just been very lucky." The Spice Girls and Boyzone member Keith Duffy have also slagged them off.
