MTV On The Beach

(July 2000)

 

(See the TV Captures of this interview into the "Pics" section)

 

Sometimes Marco speaks in Italian, but, don't worry,  you can find the translations after his words!

 

The guys are sitting in a sort of balcony, near San Diego (California) Beach, lying in the sun with sunglasses on (except for Bryan, who can hardly open his eyes!!!), when the Italian MTV vj Marco comes.

 

 

Marco: Mi siedo qua, perchè ho visto questi ragazzi, magari mi possono dire di più, però mi sembra di averli già visti, hanno un aspetto familiare [I'm sitting here, 'cause I've seen these guys, maybe they can tell me more... but I think I've already seen them... ]... you look like Westlife, where do you come from?

 

The guys, during the whole interview, speaks with a typical American accent (except for Bryan, who prefers the Spanish one!), gesticulating a lot... they are very funny! 

 

Nicky: No, we are from the States, Westlife are a really cool band, we really like Westlife!

Kian: We are from San Diego, where we are right now, the San Diego Beach.

Marco: You didn't catch a lot of sun...

Shane: I'm from Florida...

Mark: I'm from New York...

Bryan: I'm from Barcelona (with a very Spanish pronunciation!)

Marco: You look like Spanish!

Bryan: Espanolo... (still very... Spanish!)

LISTEN HERE

Marco: No, mi sembrava assomigliassero un pò ai Westlife, effettivamente no, c'è chi arriva da San Diego, chi da New York, chi da Barcellona, è un pò strana questa cosa... [ I thought they look a bit like Westlife, but.. no, they come from San Diego, New York, Barcelona... it's a bit strange...] cosa è bello fare qua a San Diego?... questi ragazzi si vede che sono del posto... What is good to do, and nice and cool to do here in San Diego?

 

Nicky answers with a very strange accent:

Nicky: you can play volleyball and shoot some hoops on the beach, you can get into the sea, you know and basically chill out and just rock the party! (A big "thank you" to Kim for telling us what Nicky told here!!!)

Bryan: Senorita...

Marco:Divertirsi, giocare a pallone, giocare sulla spiaggia [Enjoying, playing football, playing on the beach... ].... and see beautiful girls aswell!

Shane: Really beautiful ladies!

Bryan: Bonita senorita!!! (You can't hear that very well, but Marco has repeated it loudly!)

LISTEN HERE

Marco: Vedete, anche loro sono d' accordo... ci sono anche tante belle ragazze... che bello vedere questi ragazzi del posto, autoctoni, che si divertono così, questa è una bella cosa... [You see, they agree with me, there are a lot of beautiful girls... it's nice to see these boys from this place, enjoying so much... it's a nice thing!] so let's see a video, what do you think?

Kian: Westlife!!! It's a really cool video!

Shane: Cool band, they rock! (pointing at the camera!)

Marco: Allora vediamo i Westlife! [So, let's see Westlife!]

Marco: Fantastico! [Fantastic!]

 

The guys are clapping their hands.

 

Marco: Io vedo questo video e vedo questi ragazzi, assomigliano veramente ai Westlife... [I see this video and I see these guys, they really look like Westlife] ... you look like Westlife, you dress like Westlife... but can you sing like Westlife aswell?

Kian: Let's do that song that they sing... If I Let You Go... yeah, yeah, yeah...

Marco: Todo bien, amigo Espanol? (talking to Bryan, obviously!)

Kian&Nicky: One, two, three...

Kian: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (moving his hands!)

Marco: You chose a great song aswell, hanno anche scelto una bellissima canzone dei WL, questi ragazzi sono veramente i Westlife Americani! [These guys are really the American Westlife!]  LISTEN HERE

Kian: We are the American Westlife... yeah! (Except for Bryan!!!)

Marco: Say your names for Westlife here!

Kian: I'm probably like that great cool Kian!

Mark: ... that Mark! Mark! (with a strange accent!)

Shane: I'm like Shane... Shane rocks, man!

Nicky: I'd definetely choose between Bryan and Nicky, but I think Nicky!

Marco: Io sono Marco... mi metto anch'io in questa boyband! [I'm Marco, I put myself in this boyband too!]

 

Bryan says something in Spanish... but we can't understand his words very well...

 

Bryan: Bryan, bonito, bonito Bryan!

LISTEN HERE

Marco: E' stato bellissimo [It's been fantastic!]... thanks guys!

Kian stands up, and moving in front of the camera as a typical American rapper, he says...

Kian: Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!! 

... he's very very FUNNY!
