I didn't know that...
 

Take That were due to perform "Kidz" live on The X Factor Final on Sunday, December 13, however the dance routine featured protesters fighting with police with riot shields, forcing Simon Cowell to deem the performance as 'inappropriate', as there had been severe student protests going on at the time, and force the band to perform 'The Flood' instead

I thought it lame that they had them repeat an earlier performance for the final. makes more sense now.

carry on..

Yeah,bit peeved at that,it would have been amazing.

oh...Kidz is good.

What is Kidz, a new song?

Seems odd that they were actually going to have a protestors/police clash on stage, they could have just scrapped that I would have thought

Kidz it the supposed next single(god knows why they did SOS at the Royal Variety). I was thinking they could have just sang it! But maybe they wanted a show,they do love a show.

Oh right thanks, I'll go have a listen to it. They didnt really have much of a routine for The Flood so I dont see why it was so important but I guess they felt they couldnt do the song without it

i was wondering why they preformed "The Flood"

as others have said why could they not have just changed the routine or just sang the song then? I don't buy that at all

Don't buy what? I know they were deffo supposed to do it because 2 dancers and their guitar player tweeted about it and I saw pics of the shields they were going to have use.

well you obviously know more than I do but why not just use a different dance routine or like some one else said sing it without the theatrics then? they didn't use any theatrics for the flood after all

Well that I don't know. Kidz isn't really a song you can just stand there and sing though,it would be based around some sort of routine. Maybe they thought they couldn't really do the song without it and they thought it would just be easier to do The Flood.

what song is Kidz btw?

maybe so, I don't know that song at all so maybe that is the reason then!

If anyone wants a listen :)
