* Scorn in the USA
Thu, 16 Sep 2004
IT WAS supposed to be their big chance to crack America. But Westlife have been left fuming after they were shunted from a prime spot at last night's celeb-studded World Music Awards in Las Vegas.The band were supposed to perform a set as part of the main ceremony - which is televised in more than 160 countries.But when they arrived in Sin City the boys learned that their set would take place after the main ceremony - and would not be included in the main live broadcast. LET DOWN: WestlifeAnd to add insult to injury, a plan for the band to be part of a presentation honouring veteran music svengali Clive Davis with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the bash, held at the Thomas & Mack Center, also came to nothing."Eyebrows were raised when it was said that Westlife were going to be a big part of the ceremony as they're not well known in the US," an awards insider tells us."Obviously the lads are hugely disappointed to miss out on taking part in the main show."They were so thrilled to be asked to perform alongside the likes of Alicia Keys and Usher, and really thought this was their chance to appeal to a huge international audience.
