Mariah falls for Westlife's charms

The week Westlife and Mariah Carey's duet, a cover of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds," hits the airwaves, Mariah has been chatting exclusively to Worldpop about her first impressions of the Irish icons.

"They're really great, sweet, people and more importantly they're talented," she enthuses. "I don't think it would take anything major to break Westlife in America. I also think American girls will like them a lot!"

So did this American girl fall for Westlife's Irish charm? "They haven't tried to come on to me actually," Mariah giggles. "They've been quite respectful." But Mariah still reckons it was very nice to have the "five strapping lads" around her!

Although she's one of the biggest stars in the world, Westlife were quite happy to entertain Mariah with some Irish songs, despite having one or two translation problems. "To me it sounded like they were singing the f curse," laughs Mariah. In actual fact, the boys were just singing in Gaelic. Or so they say...

Look out for full interviews with Mariah and Westlife on Worldpop soon. Their much-hyped collaboration "Against All Odds" is released next month.
