Official Take That Thread-Have now touched all of TT, life=complete

[Sarah.]

Robbie was rubbish lol

You're crazy.:shocked:

[InOne]

You're crazy.:shocked:

He was getting the crowd to sing mostly, and they weren't even singing along!!!

[Princess]

I didn't even see him. I turned off before the last bit. And Sarah I didn't even know you were a Rob fan till a while ago,tut tut :p

[Smithy]

Robbie just said that he and TT are doing something "magical" soon

[Princess]

Robbie is a bull****ter.

[Jack_]

Princess, what would you and other fans do if Robbie joined Take That again? Would you go off them? I've always wanted to know :tongue:

Oh, and did you like him before he left the band?

[Princess]

Everyone always asks that :p And I honestly don't know,I love Take That more than I hate Robbie but to have those two very strong emotions shoved together,yeah strange. Anyways it will never happen,ever.

I was 4 when he left the band :p I've only been a TT fan since about October 2006. Before I was a Take That fan,I never really liked Rob,I might singalong to one of his songs if it came on but that was about it. It's since finding out everything about him and TT I've disliked him.

Ah okay, guess that's a fair comment. And can you be sure that it'll never happen? :tongue:

Woah! You'd think you'd have been a fan forever! You know so much about them afterall LOL.

And I don't really know everything about their split but judging by that comment I take it Robbie wasn't very nice towards them?

[Princess]

It will never happen! Most that will happen is a one off song or show or whatever,they will never ever get back together as a 5 piece,that I'm certain of.

I learned fast :p I was too little to be a fan beforehand. But I've more than made up for it!

And no Robbie was horrible to them,I'd be here all day ranting about it. Oooh I think I have a rant somewhere..... *looks* Found it!

Why do you hate robbie so much?
I hate Robbie because he's an utter twat. He left back in 1995,LEFT! Then he said awful awful awful things about the guys,especially Gary afterwards. Then when he became successful,he kept at it. It was some Brit Awards,like 10 years after they had broken up and he went 'I was always the talented member of the band' like he couldn't help himself having a dig whenever he could. The boys got back together for the documentary and he didn't even turn up. The look on their faces,especially Mark's was heart-wrenching. Like he thought he was so above them that he could just send a video and that was that. I've never seen TT look so awkward as when they watched those messages. Then TT do amazing,Robbie falls. He was offered to join them when they reformed and he said no. Suddenly when he's not doing so well,he's wants to go back to Take That. I wonder why! I accept they're friends,whatever. But TT work better as a 4,everyone says so,and I don't him just waltzing back in and ruining it all. Cos he's still a twat.

[Jack_]

I'll take your word for it then :p

Hm, interesting. Didn't know about this before. But to be fair, Robbie has had a hard time what with drugs and all that, are you sure that didn't have anything to do with it? It is obvious that he only wants to return cause they're doing so well though haha. Also, surely if they are all friends now, all of that is in the past? Forgive and forget? And would he ruin it? Wouldn't a reunion with him create more publicity for them etc? Surely it could be a good thing? Or would he cause them to split up again? I'm curious :tongue:

[Princess]

That is a lot of questions! I doubt he was drugs for 15 years,so no that doesn't explain him being a utter twat the whole time. Create more publicity??? Since they've come back they're done 3 tours,including 1.2 million last summer,they've had 2 number 1 albums,3 number 1 singles,3 number 1 DVD's,3 Brit Awards,an Ivor Novello and various other stuff I'd be here all day going on it. Take That work as a 4,they just do.And Robbie works as a solo artist. And the new fans don't know anything but the 4 of them,we don't want Robbie coming in and ruining our PERFECT 4 piece.

[Jack_]

That's all true of course but what I mean is surely there'd be a whole 'OMG ROBBIE TO REJOIN TAKE THAT!!!!!' buzz about it all?

I don't know myself, cause I love both Take That and Robbie. I agree that Robbie works as a solo artist and they work as a four piece but I think for one song at least it'd be cool. But I don't know, not too fussed. Thanks for enlightening me anyway :)

[Princess]

The thing is none of the fans want him back. It's the media making that hoopla and they just presume we argee,when we don't. Believe me,I know A LOT of Take That fans,a lot and I talked to a lot of them on tour and no-one wants him back. The Robbie fans will agree with me as well.

No probs,any excuse to talk about my boys :)

[MrGaryy]

-would like him to come back-
-runs away-

[Jack_]

That's fair enough then :)

Oh, and what's your favourite Take That song? Mine is probably Shine or Back For Good, but I love nearly all of their singles.

[Princess]

You better run Gary :p

Fav TT song is Shine,actually my fav song ever! Top 5 are Shine,Rule The World,Said It All,Never Forget and Hold Up A Light. Singles I hate would be How Deep Is Your Love,I Found Heaven and not really fond of Everything Changes.

[Jack_]

I was obsessed with Shine when it came out. I love all those others you've listed too, my favourite probably being Never Forget.

Love them or hate them, they produce some brilliant tracks :hugesmile:

[Princess]

The first time I heard Shine was on An Audience With,someone send me a link to the album track and I listened to it on repeat for 9 hours!

They do! They make amazing music,they're talented and they're lovely people,they deserve all the success in the world.

[Jack_]

9 HOURS? Holy **** man!

Yeah, I agree :)

[Princess]

Hahaha that's not even that bad compared to some of the stuff I've done. :laugh:

[InOne]

I saw a TT vid from 93 in the charity shop and thought of you lol

[Princess]

Awww thanks :) 93,I think that was the Pops tour.

[InOne]

The Party I think it said

[Princess]

Oooh yeah The Party,I thought that was '92. I'm not great with back then stuff!

[Princess]

This is really nice :)

Turin Brakes thank Take That for album

New record was financed by a track they wrote for Take That

◦20/02/2010
◦Sarah Jane Griffiths

Turin Brakes have revealed to 6 Music that their forthcoming album Outbursts might never have happened if it weren't for Take That.

They wrote a track for the man band's latest album The Circus, which went on to earn them enough cash to finance the new record.

"We did write for Take That - because they asked us to," admits Olly Knight. "We were so amazed that they even knew who we were we thought, well we've got to do this because if we don't it's such an opportunity wasted. We also were very aware - and I will admit - that one song on a Take That album could finance an entire Turin Brakes year!"

Without a record label after leaving EMI, the band say they didn't have enough money to write another album.

"We took that money that we made off that song and reinvested it in our studio and this album," revealed Olly. "So technically, you know, without Take That...I don't know if we'd have a Turin Brakes album."

Apparently it's all down to their fan in the band - Howard Donald.

"We took that money and reinvested it in our studio and this album. So technically without Take That, I don't know if we'd have a Turin Brakes album."

Olly Knights
"He likes indie bands and he liked Turin Brakes," said Olly. "He got in touch through a friend who was working for them - she was one of their chefs. She text us saying 'ha ha, would you ever write for Take That?'. And I wrote back and said 'yeah of course!'.

A studio session with Howard and Gary Barlow quickly followed, which resulted in a Turin Breaks penned song for Take That's album.

"It was the final track of the album called Here - which was on The Circus album, which sold I don't know how many millions. A lot of records. And we're very proud to have been a part of it."

The band say it's not selling themselves to the devil - but admit they needed the cash to survive.

"I'm not going to say we made a huge amount but we made enough money to cover a few debts that we'd built up over a couple of years of not being signed. We had to find some money from somewhere. Neither me or Gale have made enough money to sit back and relax by any stretch, so we have to find money. It is about that."

[Nicky.]

Silly boys!

[Princess]

Haha I don't mind! Long as we get an album by the end of the year I'll be happy!

[Nicky.]

Haha! They'll have to get writing soon and stuff! :D

[Princess]

Yeah Gary said they'll gonna start writing in February/March,think they're still on their break though.

[InOne]

Andre to join TT :shocked:

[Princess]

Pffft. That's nearly as bad as Robbie :laugh:

Actually when the boys got back together,there was this huge fight between their old manager Nigel and Jason. Their old manager was a **** and he wanted to get of Jay and replace him! and Jay wanted him gone. Obviously Jason won.

[InOne]

I love the way you said nearly as bad lol

[Princess]

Well he wouldn't be as bad as Rob but still! Take That like their private lives private.

[InOne]

lol indeed, plus we don't want an Aussie in the band :tongue:

[Princess]

Aye,Mancunian's only!

[InOne]

Indeed lol no room for Stoke boys either

[Princess]

Nope,no room for Stoke boys!

[InOne]

Would Noel be allowed in TT? :tongue:

[30stone]

I do remembering you mentioning it to me :) Glad you think it's amazing! As Howard said 'It needs to be seen by the world!'

Showed my gf as still have it recorded on sky and she loved it to lol.

[Princess]

No Joe :p

YAY,glad to hear it Ben :) They missed half of the show out though,you should get the DVD!

[InOne]

Well as an honourary Thatter, my opinion matters :tongue:

[Princess]

Gary on Chris Moyles this morning,so random! He comes on about 1.50 and then there's a random singalong at like 2.37,SO funny!

[Princess]

Lots of mystery women around the TT single boys at the moment! I didn't even know Jay was in LA.

TAKE That steady, Jase!
This is the moment I caught JASON ORANGE leading a mystery brunette to his hotel room in Los Angeles.

The single singer clutched a glass of red wine as they walked towards his suite at the posh Chateau Marmont hotel.

They'd been drinking at the bar for about three hours so it looked like a date to me.

But the lads' entourage are keeping quiet about whether the Orange was unpeeled.

YAY! Taken from the forums

From Music Week today: Gary Barlow has renewed his publishing deal with Sony/ATV UK, but is putting on hold writing material for other artists to concentrate fully on songs for the next Take That album.

[Princess]

EEK from DS,EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK

WENN Gary Barlow is reportedly concentrating solely on writing new material for Take That's next studio album. The singer recently renewed his publishing deal with Sony/ATV, but is putting on hold writing for other artists to work on tracks for the 'Greatest Day' band. "He's got to focus on the Take That record with the rest of the guys and they're doing it now, but he's not a man who sits around," Sony/ATV UK managing director Rak Sanghvi told Music Week. "He's got his own label imprint through Universal. He's a really driven and prolific songwriter and artist and I'm sure the second the Take That record is in the bag he'll be off doing other projects.” Barlow has recently written material for artists including John Barrowman, Dame Shirley Bassey, Alesha Dixon, Katherine Jenkins, N-Dubz and Peter Kay, while also launching new singer Camilla Kerslake through his own Future label. Take That are expected to release their next studio album later this year and tour again in 2011. The group have notched up nearly 4.8 million combined sales of their past two albums Beautiful World and The Circus.

Piers Morgan's write-up about the boys

Let me take you back to 1990. I'm sitting in a rusty old van with five eager young men on our way to a photo shoot, and they're bombarding me with questions about the famous people I know.

'Can't believe you know Paul McCartney!' one sighed, in awed admiration. 'Maybe you guys will one day,' I replied.

And they all shook their heads in disbelief at the very idea of such a thing. I helped them have their first hit record, wrote their first two official books and have stayed friendly with four of them at least. And in December I sat at home watching their TV special, and saw them larking about with Paul McCartney.

Take That have come a long, long way. And their comeback is one of the best deserved in showbusiness history.

Real power in the music business is achieved by longevity and likeability. Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason have both, in spades. I hung out with them in LA last summer, and unlike so many of their contemporaries, they really hadn't changed a bit, were truly grateful for the second chance they'd been given and were loving every minute of it. And I couldn't be happier for them.

Gary Barlow: Age 39 Born Frodsham, Cheshire Education Frodsham High School Home London Jason Orange: Age 39 Born Manchester Education South Manchester High School Home London Howard Donald: Age 42 Born Droylsden, Lancs Education Littlemoss High School Home London Mark Owen: Age 38 Born Oldham, Lancashire Education St Augustine's Catholic School Home London

He got Howard's ages wrong,he's not 42 till the end of April. But still,lovely none the less!

Is Mark in Rehab?

[Stacey.]

Is Mark in Rehab?

yep, i think hes gone today.

[M X]

God.

[M X]

I hope he gets help, he's obviously not well.

[Stacey.]

I hope he gets help, he's obviously not well.

yeah me too.
:) i really like him tbh, and just because if this...
it hasnt changed my opinion of him at all.

[M X]

The fact he's in rehab is nothing to be ashamed of, however, the fact he's cheated on his wife 10 times is disgusting. That's what has lost my respect for him.

[Princess]

This! No-one would even care about the rehab thing,we all knew Mark liked a drink,it wasn't a big secret. But the multiple flings,the 5 year affair,the having sex a week after his daugther was born with someone else,the lying,yeah I've lost all respect for him.

Title bump.

[M X]

I agree with you.

[Smithy]

The fact he's in rehab is nothing to be ashamed of, however, the fact he's cheated on his wife 10 times is disgusting. That's what has lost my respect for him.

Tbh if these affairs hadnt come out into the public, he wouldn't have checked into Rehab.
Celebs check into rehab to make it sound like they have a problem, He doesnt he's just been a dick and is trying to make himself look like a victim.

[Princess]

Mark checked into rehab because his wife made him.

[Princess]

This picture is the reason why I'm not 'forgiving' Mark and I don't understand how others can. I am less angry about it though but I think that's just because it's been a few days.

There's Robbie rumours practically every 2nd week,I always ignore them unless the guys ever say anything.

I wonder if Gary will ever go solo again.
I mean, I'd assume if anything happened to TT he'd go back into songwriting.

Personally I think Jamie Oliver and Vernon Kay's kids are going to need years of therapy for being brought up by such a complete bellend. Ditto Gordon Brown's for their dad being the most hated man in Britain.

[Princess]

Well he still writes for other people,I doubt he'd ever want a solo career again.

[Smithy]

won't this thread become out dated rather quickly :conf2:

[Princess]

I just don't want any talk of Robbie in it

[MrGaryy]

I suppose it's more of an appreciation thread now rather than a discussion/news thread cos their won't be anything new to discuss in it now. :)

[Princess]

Yeah exactly :)

[Beastie]

They should do another "Take That coming to Town" this Christmas! lol

[InOne]

Even when you google image them, more pics of the 4 come up.

[MrGaryy]

I imagine that's because Google didn't come into prominence until around 2000. In fact the internet in general wasn't around during their initial run.

[InOne]

Yeah true I guess.

[Princess]

Well he did leave 15 years ago.

i shouldn't have read that blog..
:(

[Princess]

Looking through this and finding so many things I said about how Robbie would never come back and how much I would hate it if he would. Feck sake.

[Princess]

:|
i shouldn't have read that blog..
:(

No :p I wrote that to get my feelings down,cos it usually helps. A Robbie fan yesterday read it and got so mad,she reblogged the whole thing and wrote an even longer reply which I'm far too scared to read. I wasn't slagging him off for the fun of it,I was just trying to explain how and why I feel how I feel.

[Smithy]

I read your blog Laura and tbh 15 years is a long time, I think you need to decide if you love TT more than you hate Robbie and if you do, you kinda have your answer.

[Jessica.]

Why do you keep deleting my posts? :mad:

[Princess]

Why do you keep deleting my posts? :mad:

Because the title is very clear.

[Princess]

I read your blog Laura and tbh 15 years is a long time, I think you need to decide if you love TT more than you hate Robbie and if you do, you kinda have your answer.

That's what I'm trying to get my head around at the moment. Whether the thought of not going on tour at all is worse than seeing him.

[Smithy]

I didn't break any rules! You are supposed to mod stuff that breaks rules not what annoys you. It is abuse of power.

[Princess]

Oh, well good luck :)

Good luck with trying to get my head around something I adamantly said wouldn't ever ever happen? Thanks :p :)

[Princess]

I didn't break any rules! You are supposed to mod stuff that breaks rules not what annoys you. It is abuse of power.

The title of this thread is Take That as a four piece,you know I hate Robbie. Yet you come here and post stuff about how you love him. It is not an abuse of power,I'm getting rid of something that I have CLEARLY stated I don't want in this thread.

[Sarah.]

That's what I'm trying to get my head around at the moment. Whether the thought of not going on tour at all is worse than seeing him.

Laura, go see them on tour :) Because if you don't, I think you would regret it. I won't understand why you hate Robbie so much but *I think* you love TT more than you hate Robbie.
Thinking about it from your point of view, I can see why you don't want to go. But why let 1 person ruin it all for you? Probably sounds easier than it is but you'd just have to ignore a fifth of the band :) I know how much you enjoyed it last time and it would really suck for you to miss out on it again just because of Robbie.
I would go see my favourite band even if someone I hated joined. Because I love my favourite band more than I could hate someone.
I'm no good with advice, but I really think you should go on tour. :)

Don't hate me for that :p Just trying to help. You've probably heard it all before.

Sarah I could never hate you,you're too lovely. And that was all so nice I nearly just cried(although I am prone to that quite a lot at the moment). Everyone's saying that to me,that I love Take That way more than I hate Robbie. I think I just need a bit of time to get used to the idea. Because the thought of not going on tour,as much as I always said I wouldn't is just horrifying to me. I don't want to cut of my nose to spite my own face.

And Jess I'm sorry and that's what I should have done and I will in the future but when you did it I wasn't in any mood to do anything but get rid of the posts.

[MrGaryy]

The thing is right. That you obviously love the four boys. And they love and have obviously forgiven Robbie. They've decided this is the best thing for them and this is what makes them happiest, so wouldn't you as a fan like it support whatever makes them the most content? And at the end of the day, there's four of them and one of Robbie, so whatever magic they bring to the tour should totally outweigh whatever, erm, crapness Robbie may bring. It seems a shame to waste a whole new era of singles and album and videos and touring just because of one little man.

[InOne]

He is like 6ft Gary :tongue:


Anyway Laura, I hope you don't think I was anything to do with Jess and that Robbie thread. LJ mentioned 'guys' and I dunno who he meant by that. I wouldn't do anything like that, plus I was posting anti-Robbie stuff in it as well lol

[Princess]

Gary-Well I'm not going to 'support' every decision Take That make as a group or as indiviuals cos I have a mind of my own(unlike the fans who didn't even bat an eyelid when the Mark thing happened). I may just have to be a bigger person though and ignore them,because the thought of not getting a Take That album or not going on tour just seems a horrible thought to me now.

And Joe I wouldn't think that. You're always lovely to me :)

[Princess]

Just in case anyone wanted to know :p

[Scarlett.]

Good on ya girl! :D

[Princess]

Why thank you!

WAHEY an article that's saying we're not all happy!! What do they expect,we're not fecking sheep


Take That fans are reportedly split over Robbie Williams's return to the group.

The singer's comeback after 15 years will apparently earn the band £75 million as they release a new album and embark on a tour.

However, the Daily Star reports that Take That and Williams's official websites have been flooded with messages asking them to rethink the reunion.

Fans of the group, who have scored a string of hits including 'Greatest Day' and 'Rule The World' since their return in 2006, are worried about the effect Williams's return may have.

"For me the reunion with TT sounds more like a comedy story," a fan under the name Sly wrote.

Another called Ziggy Shadow Dust said: "I love Robbie as a solo artist. Is this reunion going to cripple his solo career?"

Take That fan Julie Barlow wrote: "Think it’ll turn into the ‘Robbie Show’, don’t think it’s a good idea letting the massive ego back in", while Scooky1 agreed, adding: "I’m not happy about the reasons behind it.”

Williams has said that he was "embarrassingly excited" to rejoin the group.

Jay and his twin Justin had a curry dinner for their 40th. Jay hasn't changed at all,I love him<3


TAKE THAT's JASON ORANGE staged a lavish 40th birthday bash last night - and treated guests to a curry feast.
The singer spared no expense by taking over a whole hotel from 4pm to midday today in home city Manchester.
Bandmate HOWARD DONALD, 42, arrived at around 6pm carrying a spare set of clothes - and the rest of the lads were due to arrive later. Details of the do for Jason and his twin Justin were kept hush-hush, with invites sent out only days before.
Last night a source close to the star said: "Jason and Justin are up for a mad one.
"Everybody's wondering whether there will be 40 or 80 candles!
"Jason's pulled out all the stops to make this a night he'll never forget.
"The roof terrace is covered with a huge marquee and twinkly lights, and he's got all sorts of surprises up his sleeve.
"The food alone is something else - he's ordered curries galore, fish and chips and even a huge hog roast." A sign outside the Great John Street hotel yesterday said: "Exclusively booked until 12pm tomorrow. We apologise for any inconvenience."
Band hits such as Shine, Rule The World and classics from debut album Take That And Party blared from the hotel through the evening.
Even No Regrets by ROBBIE WILLIAMS was played - in a tribute to the singer who is rejoining the band for a tour and new album. He joined the lads last week rowing on the Thames as they filmed their new video

14th-Cardiff
18th-Dublin
22 and 23-Glasgow
27th-Birmingham

[Sarah.]

Hoping to get a ticket for Birmingham :) Only want to see Robbie though.. :)

[Princess]

You see the press conference this morning? They said he's gonna do some solo stuff and the 4 of them will do some stuff and then the 5 of them will do stuff together. Good luck getting a ticket :)

[Sarah.]

Noo, way too early for me in half term, haha. Sounds very awesome :) Thanks!! You too :)

[Nicky.]

Got tickets! YAY! :D

Manchester on the 5th (:

[Princess]

WAHEY!

I got 4 tickets :D EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK

Got 18th and 19th of June in Dublin and 1st and 5th of July in Wembley! So fecking happy even if I didn't get Manc cos SO many people can't even get one ticket,it's awful.

[Niamh.]

Did you like Robbie first time round Laura? He was the most popular member back then as far as I can remember

[Princess]

I didn't know who Take That were till about 4 years ago. I was only 5 when they broke up,4 when Robbie left. I've never liked him but I suppose I'll just have to put up with him.

[Niamh.]

awww (I'm showing my age then!!) I wonder whether it's a case of people who were fans first time round wanting him back and newer fans not then?

[Princess]

LOL! It seems to be mainly new fans who don't like him and old fans that do but I know a few old fans who can't stand him and new fans that like him so it works either way.

[Niamh.]

hhmmm, It was always Robbie or Mark people liked back then. I definitely prefer them this time round, having said that I am interested to see Robbie back with them again as he was secretly my favourite haha

[Princess]

Yeah Mark and Rob were the most popular back then,Mark moreso I think. Everyone seems to be love Gary these days. Oooh tut tut Niamh :p

[Niamh.]

haha, I couldn't admit it out loud back then cos it didn't go with my image:laugh:

[Princess]

LOL what was your image?

[Niamh.]

I was into grunge music and rock etc, wore alot of black and doc boots:joker: Boy bands and pop music were a :nono:

[Princess]

Oh :laugh: Well glad you can like them now,lol!

[Niamh.]

haha yeah, they are alot better now though

[Princess]

Everyone says that,they're way more popular now than they ever were back then and they were insanely popular back then.

[Niamh.]

well, back then they were only appealing to a certain audience (ie. teenage girls) but I think they appeal to everyone now

[Princess]

Yeah,although it's still mainly girls who love them. At concerts it's a bit like 'Spot the man' lol.

[Niamh.]

hahaha, I'll bet they're just too embarrassed to go!! I know loads of men who like them but I doubt they would go to their concert!

[Princess]

All the ones I met last year got 'dragged along' although a few of them admitted they were genuinely quite excited,bless them.

[Shaun]

ALBUM LEAKED
jubilation

[Shaun]

The Flood - obviously already amazing.
SOS - Very manic, fast-paced, quite exciting, I approve.
Wait - electro? what? no. STOP IT.
Kidz - has a kind of Pet Shop Boys sound to it. It works, oddly. Mark Owen-led, so sure to please Laura ;)
Pretty Things - utterly forgettable. sounds like something from Rudebox.
Happy Now - You can tell Stuart Price produced this album. Slow, building, lingering, potential to be a grower. Oh that's a nice chorus.
Underground Machine - I'm actually doubting this is them. The riff sounds almost Depeche Mode. It sounds like the Pirates of the Caribbean theme music remade by Softcell.
What Do You Want From Me? - Mark Owen self-flagellating for quite obvious reasons. Bit awkward lyrics. A chorus with 'I still want to make love with you'...erm. K. Not awful. OMG HE JUST SAID 'SEX' THIS IS WRONG.
Affirmation - finally a Barlow vocal. Quite a thumping beat. Not a very good chorus unfortunately.
Eight Letters - oh good, something not electronic. Bit late, though. I assume the eight are t-a-k-e-a-w-a-y. HAHAHAHA I'M FUNNY. so nearly 9 minutes long. assuming a bonus track included. will mention. the first song is quite lovely. Oh, the eight letters are i-l-o-v-e-y-o-u. boring. K apparently the bonus is as follows:
Flower Bed - Jason on vocals. Ooo. This is actually quite lovely. An ambient electronic feel, earnest lyrics, aww.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got a horrible feeling about what this album will do the band. There's little in the way of 'single' potential. The sound is far too different from The Circus/Beautiful World. There's no soaring ballads. And it kinda feels like a lot of talent (Gary Barlow & Robbie Williams' songwriting, come on) gone to waste. This has been like slipping in and out of a coma. But the slipping out moments are quite lovely indeed, I'll grant them that.

[InOne]

There is a doc on Sat about Robbie rejoining the band and how they all feel about it and stuff. Looks quite interesting actually.

[Princess]

Affrimation is Howard Shaun :p But I approve besides that. The album is out in Ireland on Friday so I'm just gonna wait. I love most of the previews though.

Looking forward to it Joe! I'm babysitting so I'm going to have to bribe the kids to go to bed early haha.

edit:Funny that Pretty Things and Underground Machine are my least fav from the previews and you didn't rate them much.

[Jords]

Playing through now. :)

[Jords]

Overall not that thrilled about Progress, favourites are Happy Now & What Do You Want From Me? Eight Letters/Flowerbed is pretty... The Flood and Pretty Things ok, rest very meh.

[Princess]

I suppose I should probably do a review but I'm only on my 3rd listen.

The Flood-Very old Take That,love it even with Rob on lead.
SOS-A bit like an electric Hello(off The Circus),one of my least favs
Wait-Nice enough,I like the chorus
Kidz-Love it,very very catchy. I love the amount of Mark on this album.
Pretty Things-I just find this track weird,although nearly all the songs are.
Happy Now-Wasn't sure on this but I ADORE the chorus
Underground Machine-Sounds like a Robbie solo song. My least fav on the whole album
What Do You Want From Me?-I didn't think I'd like this because of what it's about(although Mark says it actually got nothing to do with that) but it's a really nice song,sounds like something off Mark's solo albums,one of my favs
Affirmation-Nice to hear from Howard. Nice song,doesn't stand out but it's a good 'un.
Eight Letters-Absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of Said It All and good to hear from Gary,he's barely in this album!
Flowerbed-Well it's Jason,I love this just for that besides the fact it's a lovely song.

Overall it's very very very synthy. It's nothing like they've done before although I can see glimpses here and there. Too much Robbie for my liking although it makes up for it slighty with the amount of Mark on it. I really really do like it although it's going to take a bit of time to love it. Nowhere near as good as Beautiful World and The Circus

Overall-non-bias I'd say 7/10 but this is TT so I'd say 10/10 automatically
Fav tracks-Kidz,Happy Now,What Do You Want From Me?,Eight Letters and Flowerbed
Least favs-SOS,Pretty Things and Underground Machine

[Ninastar]

Me and the fam were gunna go but its like 500 pounds for all of us to go, and I would really want to go with my friends so its a bit of a waste of money if im not gunna enjoy myself as much xx

[Princess]

No chance of you getting tickets now :p I spend 300 euro on 4 tickets,going to 2 by myself and meeting people there,it's much easier that way I think. I'd much rather go to a TT concert by myself than not at all but I am a mad fan.

[Ninastar]

are they all sold out now? x

[Princess]

Aye they sold out in 24 hours,fastest selling UK tour of all time,1 million tickets in about 10 hours and 1.34 million in 24 hours.

[Ninastar]

oh right, we tried getting ours from ebay, so maybe thats why x

[Stacey.]

Their new single "The Flood" is real good. <3

[Princess]

Don't go near eBay,it's just full of touts.

YAY Stacey :D

[Princess]

Title bump.

[Sarah.]

I'm going to Wembley, July 6th.. I soo wanna be at the front.. how early am I gonna have to be there for? :P The night before?

[Nicky.]

I'm going to Wembley, July 6th.. I soo wanna be at the front.. how early am I gonna have to be there for? :P The night before?

Laura told me that she got there early morning last tour and was easily at the front! But someone else said to me that because Robbie is back this tour more people might camp :\

I know I'm getting to Manchester about 7am, and that's over a month before your one, so you'll easily be able to play it by ear nearer the time!

I know with McFly, if you don't camp, you're not barrier basically! :\ xx

[Princess]

Just saw this! The two times I went at 8am last year I got front row and there was about 10-20 people in front of me(Dublin was 10,London was 20),front row can hold a least a couple hundred cos it's so long.

[Nicky.]

Awesome! :) The last McFly gig I went to held 20 on the barrier.... was crazyily small!

Next arena tour should hold 50+ thankfully! ;D

.... Laura, please steal your obsession back.

[Princess]

Sorry you're gone a bit like me love :p

[Nicky.]

Haha! ;) eek! xD

[Princess]

Title bump. There's pics everywhere of them on balconies,shopping,on the beach,on a yacht,very nice indeed.

[Princess]

Next single is going to be Kidz according to everyone on Twitter.

[Princess]

My god memories. Gotta laugh at my constant denials about Robbie ever coming back. God knows why I'm bumping this because I'm avoiding TT news at the moment because I want to be spoiler free for the concerts.

[Sarah.]

36 days for me :love:

[Nicky.]

I went last night, INCREDIBLE! Was front row <3

[Lewis.]

Looks like you had a wicked time Nicky! Got a mate who has become obsessed with Take That since Robbie rejoined... Totally reminds me of you Laura! (although her bedroom wall is not nearly as obsessed?!)

[Nicky.]

I did, was brilliant! and haha, your friend is cool ;)

[Princess]

Looks like you had a wicked time Nicky! Got a mate who has become obsessed with Take That since Robbie rejoined... Totally reminds me of you Laura! (although her bedroom wall is not nearly as obsessed?!)

N'awww I'll take that(baha) as a compliment! :)

11 days, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.

[Nicky.]

Ohh Laura, you're a funny one. icwudt.

[Sarah.]

Omg Nicky that first picture of Robbie is amazing! <3 How early did you get there for front row?

[Nicky.]

Ah thank you! I love it! I love the 3rd one down too! <3 <3 <3

and about half 7 in the morning :) the people behind us were like "we got here at 3 and we're 2nd row, do you feel silly for coming so early?".... we were just like, mate, we're on barrier. :')

[Princess]

Just so you know :p Front row B Stage both nights :love:

[Benjamin]

Just so you know :p Front row B Stage both nights :love:

So you're the reason for the shops banning alcohol for their gigs. :tongue:

Glad you had a good time Laura :)

Thank you :hugesmile:

Mahoosive review time

Take That Croke Park review-18th June 2011
18th June 2011

Never in my life have I been to a Take That concert and I can’t remember half of what has happened, suppose that’s what you get for being spoiler free, this review was helped a good bit by a girl in the queue who had been to loads but things are a little bit vague (and long). We (my mum and me) got to Croke Park about 8am, after the DART had gotten delayed and I amazed to see about 60 people already there, for The Circus tour, there had only been about 10! As was the same as last year, the queuing was absolute mayhem, apparently they hadn’t thought of organization because we had been told not to queue for 4pm, like that was going to stop us! We had to stand from 12am, thank feck I had decent people to chat to. I never thought I’d get barrier cos loads of people who had queued hours behind us suddenly got in front.

When it came to the running, I thought some light stand was the B Stage, when I actually got there and saw barrier on the left corner, I legged towards it and hung on for dear life, mum turned up a minute later. I was so happy that I’d gotten barrier that I was practically hugging it. It had been lashing rain all the day and after I put my banner up, I had to put a poncho over it to protect it from the rain; the 4 got all smudged though. Had a good few chats with people, I kept wondering what stuff was but I had told people near us that I was spoiler free so they just smiled when I asked. Some professor man came up and tried to work the keypad before he found the USB which I LOVED. He asked us to welcome the Pet Shop Boys who were a pretty decent support act.

He came back on about quarter to nine and after he keyed in something, the capacity came up which was 77,000 and something and then there was the date and a countdown of a minute. We started counting down at 10 and then was lots of screaming and they seemed to just appear. If I hadn’t found out in the queue that TT4 came on first, I would have absolutely died seeing just the 4 of them. They started Rule the World and we all launched into song, it was weird seeing Rule the World in broad daylight but it’s one of my favourites live cos the crowd just sing it so loud. Amazing. They started Greatest Day and ran down to the B Stage and we all went mental.

Gary came right in front of me and I couldn’t get over how close he was, I turned to my mum and went ‘He’s right there!’ They all went around each of the corners and seeing Mark and Jay was just incredible, they’re all so fit! We all did the ‘Hold On’ arms and the boys were egging us on. They went up on plinths at some point and Jay pointed at it and mouthed ‘Look’ at the crowd. Howard was looking at me a good bit and he mouthed something to me at one point (I think it was about my banner) but I have no idea what he said. I got eye contact with them all at some point <3. When they went down for GD I got Howard’s hand!

They had a chitchat with us at some point and Mark got a Dictaphone and played something none of us could hear properly but got us all to sing Fields of Athenry which seems to make him happy. They started Hold Up A Light and I was sooooooooooo happy, I was hoping they’d include it cos it’s one of my favourites. And so good live, we all got to do our jumping up and down. There were loads of whitely clad dancers and they played some violins and then they picked up these giant ball things as Mark went ‘Are you ready for the big finale? Don’t be scared!’ The dancers swung them round as some fire thing erupted from them, it looked amazing. We all pointed at the guys as they pointed at us while they sang ‘I’ll be watching you’.

Gary introduced Patience by saying something like ‘There’s no way to introduce this song, it’s the song that brought us back after all those years, please help us sing Patience’, to which we obliged with a good old singsong and arm waving. They vanished after Patience and as I had heard it during soundcheck, well the fans singing it while I tried not to listen, I knew they were doing Shine. There was the usual Shine extravaganza. There were black tree things and a person with a net and a rabbit. Then the boys came up, I could see Gary’s head before they appeared and he looked so serious and oblivious, I found it so funny. Gary was on some piano thing, Howard and Jay had pretty jackets on and Mark was all dressed up as usual, he added a massive helmet to his ensemble at some point. Shine was a lot of loud singing and arm waving. They ran back to the main stage near the end. There were all these white bubbles everywhere and some actual bubbles which looked so pretty with the sky as a backdrop.

After Shine was finished, some video came on of the five of them but I wasn’t busy to pay attention cos I was getting my earplugs out. Robbie was on then, he sang some songs and I stared at the crowd/ground/sky a lot.

Before The Flood there were aerial dancers doing some cool area things. They ended up forming the Progress cover and then the boy outlines appeared and it looked amazing. The boys appeared on the really high walkway and water started cascading down the back stage as they sang, while the aerialists kept going. They walked along the walkway and they each got into these pod things to come down to the stage, Robbie was somewhere.

SOS was a lot of red and lights, the robot appeared from the back (the only spoiler I knew besides stage TT4-bstage, Robbie-main stage because it leaked before the tour started.) The boys were running around wearing black and red outfits. Underground Machine was next and I went ‘Feck’ because I deleted UM about 2 days after I got Progress so I didn’t know the lyrics at all. The boys were all on instruments, something which I loved during the Circus Tour. Gary was on a keytar, Jay on guitar, Howard on drums and Mark on bass. This whole section is a bit vague in my memory cos I wasn’t bothering to look at the screens but it was very good and very loud. They ran down to the B Stage during Underground Machine and then disappeared down the middle.

All these dancers came on in black and white outfits and the Kidz stomping music came on, all these chess pieces appeared on the screens. I can’t remember how they got on; there was a massive chair in front of us. They had black and/or white outfits on, Mark had a sword thing and Jay had a really low top on<3. He also had a headband so he looked like a ninja. Kidz for me was a whirlwind of dancing and arm jutting. Jason and Howard had a dance off and it was brilliant. Jason spun around for like a minute, all I remember is his legs going round and round so fast. Near the end, they walked back to the main stage, Mark waving a huge Irish flag.

After Kidz, the robot that had been coming out further the whole show was on the stage. Robbie and Gary went up on the hands; Robbie was half hanging off while Gary sat calmly which I found funny. They sang Pretty Things, Jay and Howard went up in the hands too. After that they had a chit chat with this whole Robbie/Jay sketch about how he quit/was made to leave and then Robbie swung Jay around, I’d so love to do that. Jay was saying how he had a really sore throat and he blamed Irish whiskies and their dancer Ciaran.

They asked us to take a picture of them and the flashes were incredible. The chat was long enough and though I loved it at the time, I can’t remember it exactly. They all got drinks and had an alcoholic dig at Mark and Rob as they toasted to our health. Then we had big singsong, Rob started Could It Be Magic but then said he didn’t like it. Mark kept singing other boyband songs (Flying Without Wings was in there somewhere), while Rob shouting at him that that wasn’t their band. I can’t really remember the order but they did snippets of Do What You Like, Take That and Party, Why Can’t I Wake Up With You and Love Ain’t Here Anymore. They did proper long bits for Babe, Everything Changes and A Million Love Songs (a very very lovely surprise).

After the mass singsong, they had the biggest singsong of them all with Back for Good. Gary got on his piano and the crowd belted it out, incredible every time. They went to the front and got into the Pray positions, and they did the Pray dance<3. Once they vanished the instrumental to Happy Now started and the robot was lighting up. Then it changed into a different song and I got all confused. I only realised it was Love Love once Gary started singing. They all had LED panel flashy things on their jackets. Mark and Howard got on the hands of the robot; Robbie and Jay were on the body somewhere while Gary was on the stage in front. The robot was unravelling and moving forward as they sang. Everyone at the B Stage was doing the Love Love arms, we all nearly injured each other a good few times.

When Love Love was over, the robot went dark and Gary said something about Never Forget while the rest got down. They walked to the back of the B Stage with Mark and Jay holding hands which was so cute. They all sang the start together before the stadium erupted with light and they walked towards their mic stands. I think Robbie was in front of me, he was for Kidz as well, I just look elsewhere when he was front of me. I always like to look at Howard during NF anyways cos it’s his song. I ADORE Never Forget live, doing the arms. These dancers with lights all over them climbed onto the barrier for the claps, looking around during the claps is nothing short of breathtaking. I was out of time at the start but then got it right.

They all bowed after NF (nice bum shot) and I thought they were gonna go. I asked the girl next to me whether it was over and she nodded, but I had told her I was spoiler free so maybe she thought it best to say that. Then they appeared on plinths and Mark was right in front of looking fit as. They sang No Regrets which even though it’s a Robbie song, I actually quite liked them with them all singing it.

Then the fire started as they launched into Relight, it was nowhere near as hot as The Circus Tour though thankfully. Jason was dancing really close to two dancers at one point and the best bit of course was doing the Relight arms over the barrier with Jay right in front of me. After Relight they did all the thank yous and I was soo happy when Gary sang Eight Letters. I did think I would cry but I was too busy noticing the boys were coming down the steps and Mark and Robbie were together. I recoiled into the crowd as Rob got near me while everyone else was trying to push forward. Never thought I’d be so close to someone I can’t stand. Thank feck Mark is polite cos Rob was gone by the time he got to us. Someone next to me was giving him something and I reached so far but he missed my hand! Need to get him in Wembley!

One of my friends had told me to bring a weird hat and I soon found out why. By the time the boys were back on stage, they were all wearing an assortment of things, mainly Irish based. They bowed again and went through the middle of the stage. At the end when the lights went up, as the lights went up, as always it felt like it lasted barely anytime at all. I must say after 22 days of being almost spoiler free, it was amazing to just see the extend of the spectacle. I got a good few surprises, was in awe the whole time, got Howard’s hand and got looked at by all of them and I loved it, incredible show.

[Zippy]

Love Love is such an underrated song. One of their best pop songs ever...what a chorus.

[Princess]

I love Love Love! It's really good live too.

[Nicky.]

EVERYTIME, right? :')

[Princess]

Of course! There was people doing the right arms on Sunday and I was like 'Do the right arms!' less than 2 weeks Nicky!

[Nicky.]

(Is that right? They were doing the right arms and you were like do the right arms? :P)

and eeeeeeeek! 13 days! :D

[Princess]

LOL that was meant to say wrong arms! I'm sure you got that :P

Eeeeeeeeeeeek

[Nicky.]

Haha! Thought so ;) You can understand though... it's such a difficult routine! ;)

:D :D

[Princess]

Obviously, cos Take That dance moves are so difficult, you got claps, you got arm waving, arm jutting, arms going up and down. I don't know how anyone manages it!!

[Nicky.]

Honestly was struggling in Never Forget....... that's the worst of the lot....

You're a talented girl Laura for knowing them all! I bow down to you xo

[Princess]

I always have to shove my camera away at the last second for the claps, cos I can never do them properly with a camera in my hand, much as I'd love to film them!

I always have to shove my camera away at the last second for the claps, cos I can never do them properly with a camera in my hand, much as I'd love to film them!

Haha this is so true! Or you end up with a "sorry, was clapping" few seconds in there, haha!

I literally do film far too much though! Can easily get through 8GBs of memory cards at a gig! Oops! :L x

Random. lol

Yeah, hoping for something big happening there :cheer:

Btw, I think "Wonderful World" from Progressed CD would be the perfect song for the end of each show!

[Princess]

Last night is brilliant, I went last night on The Circus Tour. I'm not too fond of that song, think Eight Letters is perfect :)

[Malza]

Oh, I would have loved to see the circus tour, specially opening or final day!

Wooohooo, tomorrow is the day Progress live part 1 yayyy

Laura and I went to see them last night!! We gave Mark an Irish lei and a green dicky bow, and he took them off us (whilst holding my hand for about 15 seconds) and said thank you like a million times over! kdlfjkfja! I touched Robbie too! <3

It was THE most amazing night! x

[Princess]

what does jason smell like

You know I can't remember. When he gave me a hug my brain was too busy going 'Oh my god Jason Orange is hugging you don't scream oh my god those are his lips on your cheek don't scream'. He didn't smell bad anyways.

Jason doesn't drink whiskey, Gary does though, although I hear he smells of tea and fruit.
