Westlife Back All Saints

Westlife have waded into the Girls Aloud/All Saints war and urged GA to keep it buttoned.

Talking to MTV UK News, Kian said, "I think Girls Aloud should shut up - that's my opinion."

"I just don't think there's any need for (bad-mouthing another band). Girls Aloud should look and learn from All Saints. They have the experience and have made amazing music," Mark added.

The battle of the girl bands was sparked earlier this month when Cheryl told us All Saints' new song 'Rock Steady' sounded like a Girls Aloud tune.

"They must have looked at what's working at the minute and thought, 'We'll go that way'," she said.

All Saints responded by saying, "They are stupid little girls and we don't really give a f**k."

Westlife's Shane went on, "People who slag you off don't go on to sell even a tenth of the albums (of the band they diss). Someone will be smiling at the end of this."

We can't wait for the ensuing chart battle: Westlife's 'The Rose', All Saints' 'Rock Steady' and Girls Aloud's 'Something Kinda Oooh' are all released next month...
