June 3, 20169 yr I look forward to getting conformation dates as to when this will be on our screens.
June 22, 20169 yr More news on new TV show! Runs for eight weeks and hosted by Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc. Presumably Gary Barlow is a judge and/or mentor. This could be a ratings winner and a great opportunity to rebuild a massive audience for the next Take That releases. http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrit...y-a3277316.html http://entertainment.ie/tv/news/Gary-Barlo...-BBC/382228.htm
June 22, 20169 yr I would be delighted if the show is good and also gets good ratings. If it is a strong show it can do nothing but boost Take That, it is likely the Ultimate Collection would be the first album to get a sales boost.
June 27, 20169 yr It should help expose some of their material again if the show goes well and ya i agree its likely the Ultimate Collection would be the album that could benefit the most.
June 28, 20169 yr The show should begin in January 2017. I'm curious what set of skills they'll be looking for. They have to be careful, cause they can't transform this into a singing contest - the backlash would be terrible.
June 28, 20169 yr I really don't think we need another reality TV music show. The format is boring and stale. They need to move on and start finding musical artists in a more creative way rather than through a tired format.
June 28, 20168 yr If the show has a different format it could be very successful. If it follows the lines of X Factor it could very well struggle.
July 4, 20168 yr Looks like Simon Cowell is afraid of some healthy competition!! https://uk.news.yahoo.com/simon-cowell-to-t...-130058058.html
July 4, 20168 yr I think Simon maybe has Alzheimer :P He seems to neglect the fact that American Idol and XF were very very similar, yet Simon Fuller or whoever came with the idea of AI didn't sue him. The guy is truly a megalomaniac.
July 4, 20168 yr I think Simon maybe has Alzheimer :P He seems to neglect the fact that American Idol and XF were very very similar, yet Simon Fuller or whoever came with the idea of AI didn't sue him. The guy is truly a megalomaniac. Not true. Simon Fuller sued Cowell for copying AI and tried to get producer credit on XFUS. The case was settled out of court.
July 4, 20168 yr Not true. Simon Fuller sued Cowell for copying AI and tried to get producer credit on XFUS. The case was settled out of court. Didn't know that fact, but that only serves to emphasize my point: Cowell is one big hypocrite.
July 4, 20168 yr Author BBC came out today and pretty much killed Simon's potential challenge cold. He can't have the monopoly. Although, everyone knows he'd love that.
July 5, 20168 yr BBC came out today and pretty much killed Simon's potential challenge cold. He can't have the monopoly. Although, everyone knows he'd love that. Simon would love to have the monopoly of all kind of power on this planet :P Unfortunately for him, after Gary hinted yesterday at the new show's format, Cowboy was left looking a fool :D
July 5, 20168 yr Simon Cowell can be so bitter and petty at times. The X Factor was not hugely different from Pop Idol. In this instance pot, kettle and black very much come to mind.
July 6, 20168 yr I dont know if i fully agree with that. I am a Gary fan but i am undecided if he really fitted well into the show.
July 6, 20168 yr The only time I watched X Factor was when Gary was on it. he was hilarious, especially on Xtra Factor. The banter with Johnny Robinson, with Rylan, with Louis and with Nicole was highly entertaining and the contestants put downs were so witty: "To the left, to the left...all the way to the left, please!" :lol: Not to mention that Gary is the only judge to ever pet a stuffed owl :lol:
July 6, 20168 yr Author A lot of polls published said he was the most liked judge in each of the 3 seasons he was on, that's why I say that
September 13, 20168 yr Author Looks like Gary will have a former XF judge taking a spot on the panel! It'll be announced tonight. I reckon it's Danni Minogue...
