Boyzone have made history with their new video for the song Better.

The clip features all the band members with romantic interests, including the openly gay Stephen Gately - yes, with a male counterpart.

Super fab!

It's nothing to do with Gately, but what a horrible, horrible video - all of them slobbering away, I'm just about to have my tea too.

Whatever about the video be all gay-friendly and shit (which is good don't get me wrong), they should be killed for covering this song. They should be shot with their own shit. If Tom Baxter was dead he'd be rolling in his grave. This is just shiteous

Wow I have always thought Boyzone won't make an as big a comeback as Take That, until this tune. This song is amazing and the vid is superb!

RIP OFF - Mr Walsh the XFACTOR Judge and Boyzones Manager has ripped of a British Artist singer/songwriter called Tom Baxter.

His voice is amazing and his video is soooo much better as there are genuin couples that dont look like they are in pain lol

Check it out on youtube!!

it'a not a good video - to overplayed, though the sentiment is nice…try Tom Baxter singing this - better version and much better video - made by a bunch of students in a competition

Almost impressed, but then find out they didn't write it. This publicity move worked out nice for them in this video though. Got you talking about it.

It's hardly a first…I do recall the two guys kissing in the video clip for Xtina song "Beautiful" from like 5 years ago… (Though the scene was cut in an alternative version, it's still on there.)
