November 19, 201014 yr Author Really enjoyed it all too. :D Robbie was so much more relaxed tonight - from the wink at the very start to the end - there was no comparison to the XF in terms of how comfortable he looked performing. But that is to be expected. XF was the first performance in 15 years with nearly 20M people watching and waiting for him and them to slip up. Although in many ways those very nerves added to the XF performance as it was so intense. Once he performed it once the second time was always going to be much smoother. I only had two issues with the performance though. Was it just me or was there some sort of echo effect on Rob's vocals at the big 'todaaaaaaaaaaay' note? It did sound good on the track but it sort of annoyed me. Not that there is anything wrong with it. Bono uses it a lot on U2' tour and it's still a live vocal but I just found it a bit odd. The other thing that annoyed me was that the 'performance' itself was a carbon copy of the XF - the movements, the moving away from the mics at the final bridge etc etc - that predictability kind of annoys me a little but I can understand why it is done this way as it wouldn't look right if all five of them were just doing their own thing on stage. Speaking of that anyone else find Jason's hand movements odd? :lol: I noticed it before but never bothered mentioning it. Never Forget was fantastic. Howard sang it well. It was very odd to see Rob singing backing vocals again in that way. You could see he wanted to burst out and sing the whole thing :lol: He was even singing the main lyrics at one point away from the microphone :P It was great to finally see it sung by the five of them though, and it was a polished performance. ^_^ Very enjoyable overall. Once again on a totally different level to Blandlife and JLS. :D What is the next TV performance anyone know? Graham Norton? Paul O'Grady? Surely they need to have the first live TV interview soon?
November 19, 201014 yr Just watched again :w00t: Jason looks very thin. Was he always that thin? :unsure:
November 19, 201014 yr Just watched again :w00t: Jason looks very thin. Was he always that thin? :unsure: Yes. Back to NF though ... I love the vulnerability in Howard's voice but sometimes the overall vocal suffers a little (when he's on lead). He hit it right on the head tonight though ... his BEST ever performance of it. What was going on with Gary's hair though? Kath
November 19, 201014 yr Author Apart from little Mark (who I doubt would be capable of growing one), Rob is the only member without a beard :o Considering his love of facial hair why doesn't he grow his back. Infact let it grow back to the way it was in this pic. It would be fantastic :smoke: http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00480/SNF0326D_380_480325a.jpg
November 19, 201014 yr Author Yeah Gary's hair was a bit daft looking all slicked back like that. It was fine looking on the XF but odd looking tonight :lol:
November 19, 201014 yr Ya Garys hair was weird tonight an dan use use of gel/hairspray i think. They are fantastic live performers though i so much prefer them live than studio and they perform live with ease and they all look so comfortable performing live which is great to see.
November 19, 201014 yr I don't see anything wrong with Gary's wig :unsure: Wish Robbie would leave his hair all floppy instead of slicked up in Tin Tin fashion. <_< Oh yeah. Robbie's mega beard would just about finish off the TT housewives :lol:

Robbie's mega beard would just about finish off the TT housewives :lol: Robbie had his pop star hair style. He could do with his fringe being cut a little but it's far better than that HORRID comb over he had been sporting. :puke2: His hair at last years CIN suited him too. All slicked back. -_- Anyway - no-one answered my question - when is the next TV performance? Surely they are doing a TV special on ITV at some stage before Xmas? :wacko: Edited November 19, 201014 yr by De Niro

To be honest though ... if they do have any other 'specials' devoted to them ... they are seriously going to p*** people off! For the moment ... as Mies Van Der Rohe said 'less is more'. Kath
November 20, 201014 yr When is the second single due out.... :unsure: I can't see there being any rush. Personally I'd wait to the new year. The album will already get a lease of life leading up to Christmas with people buying it for stocking fillers (whether the recipients want them or not ... it all counts!) Then they can give proceedings a mini-kick start in January / February. Kath
November 20, 201014 yr Author Yeah the new year is the most likely date. Just before the BRITS would make sense! Although I would look to see a second XF performance on the final of the second single - which is hopefully Kidz. :D
