I love Mark's voice Gary is technically brilliant but Mark has a unique quality to his voice that is just beautiful.

I went to the London show on Friday and it was phenomenal! The intense heat made everything even more magical and dream-like. The boys were in top spirits too. It was just perfect.

I wonder if they are going to take a break from touring after this? I've seen that Howard has signed a music publishing deal so perhaps he's finally going to release a solo album. I'd love another solo album and tour from Mark too, "Land of Dreams" was incredible.

I didn’t know we had a TT thread. Just so you know, I’ll be marrying Gary in my next life.

I won’t pretend I understand much about music publishing deals, but I think it’s to do with who handles your intellectual property and royalties etc. I don’t particularly think Howard has any desire to be a solo artist. The publishing deal is more likely to be about his Take That songwriting credits.



I went to the show last night and it was absolutely phenomenal. I’ve watched the 2009 show dozens of times, so it was just magical to get a second chance to see it.

They’ve mentioned the songwriting on a few documentaries/interviews.
In the old days Gary wrote and took majority of song writing credits with the odd one here and there to the other members, which disappointed the band and put extreme pressure on Gary.
When they reformed they now write all new material as a group and all 3 of them are named as equal contributors to the song writing.

Gary has the most flawless voice. Mark’s was pretty weak in the early days but he improved massively. People say he has a terrible voice but I won’t stand for it Hold On is an incredible vocal.

He has definitely improved. If you look at early songs he was featured on like How Can It Be, he clearly had issues hitting certain notes that nowadays he has no problems with.

Another crack in my heart, another picture on the wall, another way to spend an evening when there's no-one there at all" if I remember correctly.

My late younger sister used to love Gaz before his "glow up". At the age of nine, she I formed me that she loved him because he had a "kind face".

She was a sensible lass.

Meanwhile, Robbie and Mark were my thing.

Dunno how I never noticed how fit Jason was! He's truly beautiful, facially.

First time around the majority of girls fancied the boys, Mark and Robbie. Second time around as women we realised how hot Jason is! I remember watching the reunion show with my jaw on the floor

I didn't appreciate just how beautiful Jason was in the 90s, I was a Robbie girl. I think it was the cheeky personality that did it for me Jason was always the quiet one, which I'd totally go for these days!

My first love of TT was Robbie. He was beautiful back then (Could It Be Magic). Looked vaguely like a chimp, but beautiful regardless.

Then he said something daft in an interview, so I gave up on him and went for Mark instead. As you do when you're 14. Didn't care that he was short, he was incredibly cute.

Years later Mark turned out to be a serial shagger. Silly boy.

As for Howard... my favourite song of theirs
is Never Forget, with his lead vocal It should have been their swansong in my opinion, not that boring cover of How Deep Is Your Love.

Meanwhile, Jason remains beautiful.

Here endeth the lecture.

Anyone remember Robbie's song Clap Your Hands? I think it might have been the B-side to the Pray single?

It was a live rap thing that he did on tour, with Howard(?) beatboxing in the background.

It was around the time he was wearing those fake dummies on long black cords around his neck (so of course I had one.)

The lyrics I remember are "... and it's funny, all the girls wanna suck my dummy!"

Memory unlocked! Need to go back and watch the old tours for that one. I had multiple dummies too

I love the snippet of Sweet July we’ve heard so far, can’t wait to hear it in full on Friday.

Yeah I think this is my most played tour VHS!

The Motown Medley is a firm favourite. And Gary and Howard’s duet at the end of why can’t I wake up with you is just divine!!

hope the timestamp works (about 4m40s)
