When we heard Westlife sing their new single What About Now...
...live on the X Factor we thought we'd heard it somewhere before. Then we realized, along with the likes of Mandy, Uptown Girl and You Raise Me Up, it's yet another Westlife cover!
The original, by US band Daughtry (you may recognize the lead singer Chris Daughtry - he came fourth on the fifth series of American Idol) has been heard in the background of shows like American Idol and the X Factor!
What we want to know is whose version do you prefer - the original or the cover? Have a listen and let us know:
The Original Daughtry version of What About Now
Daughtry - What About Now on MUZU.
The Westlife cover version of What About Now
So, Daughtry or Westlife - who sings What About Now the best?
Comments please!

I think that Daughry is SO much better!!!! The reason I HATE westlife now is because, they didn't even make the song they're own, they just sung the exact same as Daughtry!!! They are just copy cat singers, and should NOT be makin money from Chris Daughtry's AMAZING song!!! xox

daughtry withiut a doubt. chris daughtry is an incredible singer, and to be honest I'm glad he didnt win americal idol as he's been more successful with his band than being crowned 'AI king' would have got him. touring with nickelback early next year, and with bon jovi last year! now there's some bands with credibility and talent unlike the cover artists that are westlife.

I KNEW I had heard the song before!! My mum thought I was going crazy, but AHA, not quite yet! I like Westlifes version, there voices ar just soo...yum:) But I like daughtry's origianl too. Their all amazing singers. But Westlife should try out a few of their own originals every now and again. There covers ARE good, but their originals are good too. <3
