| "No Matter What" won't be the same without Stephen singing lead but its nice that so many stars are paying tribute to him. It won't be quite as massive as the Freddie Mercury tribute concert but the description you print sounds like it might be along similar lines. I hope that they at least invited Jim (not that he would actually turn up) because he co-wrote "No Matter What" and not only was it Boyzone's most successful single but it was the most successful single from a musical. Ever. I think. Ryan, correct me if I'm wrong. Jim did not only write the lyrics. He came up with a different construction for the various melody parts. Placing them in a different order than ALW had originally written them (with The Lord's approval, of course) and he insisted on a change in the arrangements. Of course I should not say "only" the lyrics. They were perfect for Boyzone and very easy to remember. Simple but brilliant. I really believe that it was Jim (with the help of ALW and Stephen Gately) who is mainly responsible for making that song a hit and a classic. > There's a new performance of No Matter What on UK ITV this > weekend - Sunday at 8:30pm - 9:30pm.
