Westlife - Flying Without Wings - Single
A song sang by Westlife, but in my opinion, most likely to have been wrote by their manager, at least he was their manager at the time, Ronan Keating.
The reason why I suggest it was put together by Ronan is the lyrics. This is without doubt a love song, …

Justin Timberlake’s new style of music
Personaly I don’t really like his new music style. I have preferred his old album and his first debut album on his own. Justified was more towards when he was with Britney Spears and the break up.
Now with his new album and his long term relationship with Cameron Diaz …
Gold Cobra, 2011 Album by Limp Bizkit

Nobody Can Change Me by Nicole Sherzinger

Green Day - Whatsername (Song)
