Just wondering what everyones thought are regarding when TT will get back together again for their next album and if the group dynamics have changed a lot over the past 6 months,

 

I am happy that Robbie has his solo album coming out next year and there will be lots of promo for that and I think as Gary is a producer on the album we will see quite a lot of promo of them together again. Plus Robbie's cothing line is doing really well. He's also spend a huge amount of time with Gary on the xfactor even going as far as helping Marcus and Criag on a personal level which is very nice of him.

 

Then you have Gary recent rise in celebrity status over the past few months. He may hay attracted some haters but with over 1 million followers on twitter now, he's become even bigger since the XFactor, CIN, RAH concert in front of royalty and next year he is putting together all the Queens events and may have an active role with the olympics music.

 

I'm happy the boys are doing other things but lately it's feels a little like Gary & Robbie featuring Take That <_< Interveiwers don't really ask him about TT as much as they used to and he's being offered mire things solo. In his recent Esquire interview he mentioned he's been offered at least 10 million pounds worth of endorsement deals such as perfume, clothing lines (he's increased sales for Vivienne Westwood) etc.

 

Just feel the focus of the Progress tour and promo leading up to with was all about Gary & Robbie.

 

Worried TT fan

In a sense it was all focused on Gary and Robbie's relationship with a little hint of robbie's relationship with the others aswell, but in a way it was always that way with Take That as they were the 2 that made the headlines both good and bad. Mark is definitly the third most talked about but again hit the headlines but for all the wrong reasons, i do often think it must be hard for howard and jason but on saying that they havnt gone for solo success like the others have, when i say solo success i dont just mean in terms of music but they never really did alot to get noticed outside take that.

 

Its a shame in a sense though, i will admit jason is just forgettable for me although he has got to sing more this time round, but for me the real shame is in howard, as i quite like howards voice and truth be told id say he is far more a bad boy than robbie ever was just he didnt hit the headlines as much for doing so so,. also i really like howards voice and i have often said i wish it was used alot more and i hope he gets a lead on a single again as never forget is a take that classic and he has always delivered it brilliantly live.

I don't think Jason and Howard mind that the press leave them alone lol

Howard is in DJing in Europe and Jason has gone on record saying that he prefers time to himself and out of the public eye

 

Gary actually has more twitter followers than Rob does at the moment by nearly half a million. So its true Gary has done very well and to be honest having a number 1 debut album that sold 2 million worldwide along with 2 number 1 singles and a couple more top 10s is hardly a discography that would be considered a failure as a solo artist. That said Gary has said that TT will be back as a 4 for the new album and im sure writing has already begun so lets sit back and enjoy what they bring us next

Regarding Howard and Jason, I have felt they do not want the limelight as much, for them, Take That fame is enough and they are happy to be away from the viewing eye and carry on with their lives without an over amount of intrusion. They appear to have had opportunities to be part of the limelight more than they are but appear to have declined leaving members such as Gary, Mark and Robbie to take the limelight instead.
