Louis Walsh plans to make Shane Filan the next Michael Bublé

  • December 19, 2011
  • Mikey

Louis Walsh has threatened to turn Shane Filan into the next Michael Bublé.

Speaking on RTÉ's Saturday Night Show, Walsh said: "I'm going to manage Shane Filan. He's going for the Michael Bublé market. They're all good but I can only manage one. I love Shane's voice. I love Mark's voice too."

Louis was also keen to set aside rumours of a Brian 'Bryan' McFadden/Westlife reunion saying "he's not in the band anymore. He's gone. He's gone".

Of Filan, the Wonderland manager vowed: "Shane is going to be a big artist. I will only manage someone if I believe in them. If I get someone amazing I will manage them."

Something to look forward to in 2012.
