Former Westlife group member goes solo with his debut single "Real To Me," out September 6 in the UK. It's alright. Nothing that stands out. Very safe and follows the Maroon 5-like trend. Brian McFadden teamed up with Guy Chambers to write this tune which fits in with "the downside of being a celebrity" theme. He also goes by Brian now; not Bryan.

Ugh! this is all SO contrived and predictible. I can't stand the man!
A potential #1 here, sadly....

Two different people, Jersey Boy.
The song is okay, nothing special.

I'm an idiot and I made another thread to this, haha.
I like the song a lot. Although it's kind of cliche and "oh, my celebrity life is so hard," I must say the piano at the beginning is awesome and the chorus is catchy.
Thanks,
Ben

It's alright... didn't stand out on first listen but maybe if I hear it more.
This is #1 this week in the UK.

This is OK. It really reminds me of a Country song, not so much the tune, but the lyrics, especially where he's talking about coming home to watch football on TV. If I were an American Country singer, I would add some twang and cover this.

I love it; I love it. Had to say that twice.
Now why would he change the spelling of his name?
