"I Love The Way You Love Me" and "You Needed Me" were both originally country songs (though the latter was a pop hit as well). Of course, practically all their songs were covers...I may be wrong here, but I don't think they wrote any of their songs. Boyzone may have covered other county songs as well (perhaps as album tracks). Even if they didn't, I think two county covers for an Irish boyband is a lot.

ok,ill take ur argument there about the country songs,two country songs,and neither are very country,there in between.There both great songs,you dont have to be a pop fan to admit that.
i must correct u tho bout the them not writing there own songs,they wrote alot of them,and ro says he wrote 50 % of them and its true.Number 2 this week in the album charts. who do u perfer boyzone or westlife?????
boyzone had class
ro is a very talented song writer,and i advise anyone to get his album(any of them)

They released it and had a #1 single with it before Ronan's version was even released on his album. Release date for Brooks & Dunn's Steers & Stripes: April 17, 2001 Release date for Ronan Keating's Destination: October 29, 2002 That is all.
