Blue is a Folk act. Their sound grew out of Dead or Alive and B*Witched. Those roots explain a lot about how Blue arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Westlife, Craig David, Daniel Bedingfield, Shayne Ward and 911, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into LeAnn Rimes, M. Pokora, Shaan, Gary Numan and Elva Hsiao, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 26 connections around Blue, reaching back through Dead or Alive and forward to LeAnn Rimes.
