James sounds pretty excited about it. http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/theatre/...maintwitterpost https://www.facebook.com/Broadway/videos/10...=message_bubble

I've never seen the one they thought was the best ever, but, by their logic, Gary had some big shoes to fill and, considering he's just getting his teeth in musicals, he nailed it. People certainly seemed to love it: 95% of the reactions have been more than positive. the video already has over 2 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRVwHP__qMM This collab might even get Gary a spot again on James's show. All in all, a very smart move.

All in all, a very smart move. I am glad you and many others enjoyed it. I didn't see anything original. It sounded like a hundred other generic musical numbers. Not the kind of song people are going to be singing the next day after hearing it. Maybe that was the intention. I don't blame Gary Barlow. T.he production of it and the performance could have moved to the next level. It reminded me of a school production.
