[Princess]

Haha yeah I hate that fricking hat! There's this dead cat one which is just as bad. He has some decent ones but the rest are just dire.


Anyways!

From Heatworld,who love the boys just as much as I do!

It’s a very exciting time to be a Take That fan. There’s a new album coming up (yay) and then there’s next summer’s record-breaking stadium tour to look forward (double yay). Not only that, but the boys are currently starring in the latest Christmassy adverts for Marks & Spencer, and they look totally hot, hot, hot (the advert premiered during Corrie last night, but if you were busy exfoliating your elbows, you can watch it here). And now for the best news of all – if you want to get up close to their hotness (and who wouldn’t?), we think you'll be keen to discover that ITV are filming a very special TT TV show, and they’re offering super fans the chance to be part of the audience! Simply click here to find out how you can win free tickets! heatworld’s already sent off an application, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed, which makes typing a challenge. With all this Take That activity, we’re not going to be able to get away from the boys over the coming months, and that’s just how we like it.

Album reviews

DS

Earlier today three tracks from Take That's new album, The Circus, arrived in our inbox. We've been listening to them ever since and here's what we've got to report:

'Said It All'
There are hints of Coldplay and Snow Patrol to this Gary Barlow-sung chugger, which deals with that moment in a break-up where there's "nothing to say at all, nothing to say that matters". It's nothing Take That didn't do on their last album, Beautiful World, but the climax is suitably rousing.

'Up All Night'
Sung by Mark Owen, this Beatlesy gem skips along from folky verses to 'Shine'-y, harmony-drenched choruses. The whole song's a delight, but the best bit comes when Marky shows his laddish side on the middle 8. "I met this girl last night and she said, 'Why won't you marry me?'" he sings. "Well I'm too young for that, too dumb for that, too tired for that, too proud for that, too cool for that. Would you like to come back to my flat?"

'The Garden'
Gary Barlow and Mark Owen share lead vocals on this epic, stirring ballad, which is packed with positive messages about love, unity and seizing the day. "This is the life you've been given, so open your mind and start living" goes the chorus. It's 100% sentimental but pretty charming with it.

The release of Take That's new album is just weeks away and we've been given a taster of what to expect from the record.

The four tracks we've heard - The Garden, Said It All, Up All Night and the single, Greatest Day bode very well for the follow-up to their chart-topping, Beautiful World album. Here's our track-by-track rundown of what we've heard so far...



The Garden
A five minute epic, this is a song that just gets bigger and bigger in sound as it progresses. Beginning with a gentle piano intro and a delicate vocal performance from Mark Owen, soaring strings, marching band-style drums, horns and guitars are all gradually chucked into the mix before it crescendos into its anthemic 'this is the life we've been given, so open your mind and start living' chorus. It's an ambitious track and is exactly the reason why they've been so massive since making their return a couple of years ago.


Greatest Day
You'll have all heard their latest single by now. It's a proper grown-up pop record along the same lines as Rule The World and sees the boys try their hand at a much more complex vocal arrangement than we've heard from them previously. The track is available to download from November 24th and you can check out pictures from the video shoot here.



Said It All
Goodness - they've really gone overboard with the strings on this album! Said It All is a bleak, rock-influenced, break-up anthem which wouldn't have sounded out of place of Snow Patrol's recent album.




Up All Night
Mark Owen takes the lead on this one once again and, while it starts off with just an acoustic guitar and percussion for accompaniment, it morphs into something altogether very different. If we had to compare it to anything, it would be their hit single, Shine crossed with I Can't Decide from Scissor Sisters' second album, Ta-Dah... only with a brass band trumping in the background. We're expecting a great performance of this on their upcoming tour.



While it's difficult to judge a twelve track album on the basis of four tracks, this has certainly whet our appetite. We recommend adding it to your Christmas list pronto!

If you fancy seeing Take That live, don't forget tickets for their 2009 UK tour are on sale now and you can catch them performing their new single on the X Factor on November 22nd.

The Circus is released on Polydor Records on December 1st.

From a Coldplay interview recently!

You're playing in the UK right up to Christmas, with the last show on December 23rd in Belfast.
Yeah. And I would also like to do something on Christmas Eve, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I have to say, it does feel weird that we haven't been in Britain at all. Over the last week or so, the realisation of that has really hit. But I think next year we'll make up for it.

Is that a hint towards future plans?
Well, we tried to get Knebworth but it just wasn't possible. So we're having to think of something else. In fact, I think we have thought of something else. Hopefully we'll be able to announce it soon. And hopefully it's not the same day that Oasis have booked it.

Although that would be a good double bill.
It would be a great double bill. And we wouldn't mind opening. I would also, funnily enough, open for Take That. We were in the dressing room yesterday and, for whatever reason, we started singing Back For Good. We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it or anything. It was great. So I'd like to use this forum, the Coldplay website, to announce that if Take That want us to open for them, we'll do it. The only problem is that we'll have to get down the gym for a bit.

That would be AMAZING. I love Coldplay

Crappy review of GD

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog...test_day.shtml

Although I do love this bit,purely because it's so true

I also know that they have an army of devoted fans who will love them no matter what, and who will destroy anyone who dares to question the brilliance of their comeback material.

It was brilliant though,that should not be questioned

News which I hope isn't true

ROBBIE & TAKE THAT ARE BACK IN STUDIO*
(*Sorry folks, that's a TV studio, but maybe one day)
By Alice Walker & Katie Hind

Robbie Williams is set to make a sensational comeback to Take That - this week.

He will be reunited with the rest of the lads in his old band at the filming of a one-off telly show.

Robbie, 34, will be a surprise guest in the studio audience as Take That star in a Christmas special An Audience With..Only last week Robbie and GARY BARLOW patched up their differences at a footie match - as The People revealed.

Gary, 37, persuaded Rob to make a cameo appearance on the show along with the other guys MARK OWEN, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE. A source said: "Gary was pleading with Robbie to come back and join them on their tour next summer and he was happy to discuss it.

"Then he mentioned this new show that they are filming in Manchester. Robbie joked that he could come along.

"It all spiralled from there and Robbie is planning to sneak into the filming and be a surprise guest. Imagine the look on everyone's faces when the camera pans around the audience and there he is."

The five boys haven't performed together since Robbie quit Take That in 1995. But the Angels singer was clearly delighted to be hanging out with Gary at the Arsenal-Manchester United game at The Emirates Stadium in London.

With his arm around his old mate and grinning broadly, Robbie said: "This is the first time we've seen each other in two years. We'll see how it goes."

It's been a long time coming but we reckon this reunion will definitely be worth the wait.'
