I've heard it now ... and seen the video:
Song = 6/10 Video = 8/10 It could be a grower though. I desperately wanted this song to be crap ... but it isn't. Don't get me wrong .... it isn't great ... but it isn't crap. Given the right song ... their voices work really well together. It really wasn't worth all the bigging up its had though. Kath |

omg I LOVE the video, especially the part when he takes his shirt off and shows me his swallows which I haven't seen in FOREVER
 and the very end is brilliant  the song's good toooooo  I think I kind of expected more from them but I'm glad it's a normal pop song, not another futuristic crap song  oh.. if anyone gets the video and/or the song - please PM me

Don't know what to make of it yet but it is not bad at all. The subject was like what we all expected and the video is boring for almost 3/4.3 minitues...
Their voices match and it is a nice song perhaps after a few more listens I will know what to make of it. On my first listen it looked like a great song for UK radio and public but kind of a miss for Europe though. Edit: When they started to take shirts off I was afraid it would be too much of Brokeback mountain!

I've just watched the vid on VH1 - on Holiday so wasnt bothering getting up early. Very odd hearing a new song and video at the same time
 The opening guitar part really reminds me of a Rob B-side but Im not really awake yet so can't think which one As I expected it's a ballad but not too slow with a sing-along chorus - quite MOR and perfect for radio 1 and 2. I don't dislike it though - like you Norma I think it's a pleasant enough track but then that was obviously the aim - something nice and safe - just listening back as I am writing this post I now think the music sounds like a Beatles track as well - a slighly faster 'Blackbird'. The whole song reminds me of various different songs though. The vid is clever but the parts when they are singing with their old fashioned jackets on - they do look lack too old grandads - and more like Robson and Jermone than Jaggar and Bowie Just after it finished on VH1 Lazy Days came punping on though and it became very apparent how forgettable Shame was - nice and inoffensive but like you say Norma had it been released by let's say - Lee Ryan and Duncan from Blue it would flopped. Illl go listen back to the Moyles interview - anything interesting said or did you not bother listening?

The interview was quite entertaining ... both Gary and Rob gave laughs in equal measures. Something I noticed about four minutes into it ... and is very encouraging to Rob fans who feared nothing solo after this ... he said "this is a very interesting point in MY career' (something along those lines ... but the word MY was very clear). On the other hand, when Moyles suggested to Gary that this was the end of Take That (i.e. starting as a five, ending as a five) Barlow gave his standard 'we don't know ...' answer which usually means they (he) do (does) know and is not saying because the fans may not like the answer.

Cheers - the listen back feature isnt working on Moyles website despite it saying it was available from 10.30
 I've listened 4 times now and am already sick of it. It's quite simply not interesting enough to hold my attention but then again I fully expected that. It will be a huge hit in the UK where bland sells in bucket loads but I tihnk it won't fare well elsewhere where people expect songs a hell of a lot more exciting. I can't see this being #1 in Germany in a million years for example.

Rob has just revealed via Twitter that there will be a new book out Sep 20th titled 'You Know Me'
 He also said 'Could It Be Magic' is his least fave TT song describing it as being 'pants'

Good to see you ICR
Rob has a history of releasing lead singles that tend to be very different and fresh - with the exception of 'Something Stupid'. Shame is quite similar to Something Stupid imo - only with far better lyrics and more adult contemporary sound - but in terms of the actual song itself it's dull in a similar way in my view. But I was never expecting a fast-paced electro or rock tunes with Gaz or board - in that sence I wish Rob had've done a duet with Mark Owen - that would actually be interesting - perhaps the only thing I can look forward to about the TT album? They said on Heart that Rob wrote the lyrics and Gary the music - pretty much how I expected their song-writing to be tbh - both focusing on their strengths. Makes sence but I woudlve prefered the song to be more of an anthemic type like Rule The World and Feel. Rob just said on Heart that they will perform 'Shame' for the first time at the Help For Heroes gig. |

Just a funny thing! Did anyone notice when it was on TV just now (the channel that they're going to play it on the hour every hour) it says 'Shame' ... by Robbie Williams and Gary Below. Eh?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/...ry-barlow-shame They're back together again ... and in the era of the Brokeback Coalition, here's a homoerotic take on Robbie and Gary's patched-up relationship It's the moment some feared would never happen while others feared it would. Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams are singing together on a song taken from Williams's forthcoming Greatest Hits, due in October. A preamble to Take That's reunion in November, think of this as a country-ish amuse bouche before the Stuart Price-produced, electro-tinged main course. Shame has an arresting line about posters on the back of Toys R Us, but all attention will focus on the video, which sees the two men gaze lovingly into each other's eyes, strip to the waist and fall in love all over again. It's like Brokeback Mountain – but without that bit in the tent. Kath |

Actually on 2FM right now the DJ is taking the p*** out the this and playing the start of both Blackbird and Shame. loads of people texting in complaining about how Rob and Gaz have ripped it off

However ... I'm sure Gary Barlow is perfectly aware of it and will have cleared it with McCartney first. Kath Edit ... there was much speculation on the TT site that Shame may get a US release. With this video? I think not! I love the video ... but I don't think it would go down well with our American Cousins! This post has been edited by Kathyp: 26th August 2010, 01:59 PM |

Wouldnt it be hilarious if Macca sued them?
Yeah but it's different - Rob sampled that music for YKM and credited the writer - I highly doubt the credits of this will be Barlow/McCartney/Williams I can't see why this would get a US release - it's nowhere near the same league of most of Rob's or TT's material that hasnt been successfull Stateside (apart from BFG and Rob's Ego album which sold quite well going Gold). If it is being released then the Egos of both are growing as we speak I just listened to the Moyles interview - actually enjoyed it. They bounced off eachother quite well I thought. I always find it amusing how Rob never has a clue when his albums are out or what is even on them. Gary was more aware of the tracklistings of Rob's GH than he was
