Posted February 17, 201114 yr Hi guys, please excuse me for posting this on your forum and taking up space. I am currently writing my dissertation for University on fans of Take That. I was wondering if any of you would have a few minutes to answer a few questions about why you love Take That. If you would rather not leave your name then that is absolutely fine, I will respect any requests for privacy. It is really important to me that you are completely honest with your answers. If you do not feel you wish to post your replies as a comment on this thread please feel free to email me your answers to emmalouise88@live.com If you have anything to add then please feel free :) Thank you so much for your time. Emma P.S. If admin wouldn’t mind making a sticky topic for a week or a few days I would be eternally grateful, although if you have too many already I understand, Thanks.

February 18, 201114 yr Name: - Age: 35 How long have you been a fan of Take That? Got my attention with Shine, but i got really interested after hearing Mark's solo music. Actually i don't know if i am a "fan" of Take That if i take the long name of it (fanatical). What is your earliest memory of enjoying Take That? Hearing Never Forget What about the group do you like? Why are you a fan? I like their music and think that their live shows are very clever made. How do you feel when you listen to their music? Depends on the song. Some made me cheerful, some sad How do you feel about the members of the group? I wish they continue to make music. Especially Mark, whom music i enjoy the most. If they on't want to sing anymore, i hope they will write musicals /film music. How have Take That changed or helped you in your life? I heard first Shine as i was unemployed and depressed. Helped to feel better and to become energy. What is the furthest you would go to spend an entire 24 hours with the band? Can you give examples? I would do nothing. I prefer to see them as artists and not as real persons. I would like to say them my opinion about their music, but i don't think they would be so interested in it :lol: How often do you use forums Take That forums? Daily Why do you use these forums? For entertainment Do people outside of the forums treat you differently/ have different opinions about you being a fan of Take That? I am moving in an adult world already where nobody give a cent which band i hear. Are there any negative comments or treatments that would stop you from or make you hide being a fan of Take That? There are negative comments about the band. That give me the freedom to say my opinion about their bands :lol: Edited February 18, 201114 yr by IrisAlbastru
