UNBelievable! Westlife Performs "Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls?



Irish boyband Westlife is known for covering popular songs, but this is just unspeakable.

During their Face to Face Tour in 2006, the four bandmates performed an eye gouge-worthy rendition of the Pussycat Dolls smash hit "Don't Cha".

Sounds bad? It gets worse.

The boys, who have been criticized for their milquetoast, lite-pop music, got down and VERY dirty, performing dance moves that would make a stripper blush. Seriously, three out of the four were gyrating, pelvic thrusting, and shaking in ways men approaching their 30s shouldn't be doing; ever. Imagine from my perspective, who had only seen them do minor choreography during a performance of "World of Our Own" on Dancing on Ice on YouTube. It was awkward, cringe-inducing, and overall hideous. Plus, it kinda reinforced the belief that Shane and Mark have the best voices in the group, by far.

Whoever told Westlife to perform that song and do what they were doing on stage (Louis Walsh) should be smacked in the head, because that almost made me retch. The boys are too good of vocalists and too old to singing and dancing to a song performed by glorified stripppers (no offense Nicole).
