No Rock And Roll Fun

WHY ALL OF BOYZONE ARE UGLY: If we're meant to believe Louis Walsh, Colin Farrell auditioned for Boyzone was scuppered by his obvious charm, good looks and warm personality. Manager Louis Walsh remembers: "It was obvious Colin would be the favourite in the group. All the girls were watching him at the audition. Colin certainly looked the part, even if he couldn't sing at all well. But then none of them could." No, seriously, they turned down Farrell because he would have outshone the already-signed Ronan Keating. That must have been one hell of an audition session, trying to find people who were less than Keating - what would the criteria have been? "We'll take the first four who don't clear their throats if we ignore them when they walk in?"
