April 13, 200619 yr Don't know whether to thank you or not Scotty for posting up what that vile woman has printed. I think anyone with any sense will take 95% of it with a pinch of salt. Yes i am not a Gareth fan but Victoria Newton is the most ignorant, contradicing and unprofessional journalist i have ever encountered :rolleyes:
April 13, 200619 yr It's not just Vic Newton though is it? There's obviously been a press release from 19, but Miss Newton has grabbed the chance to slant the story as she sees fit :rolleyes:
April 13, 200619 yr Haven't they done everything for Shayne Ward? They think he is the new Elvis... Give Louis & Simon some credit. They are'nt that ignorant :rolleyes:
April 13, 200619 yr they did them like their dogs :o Their is no need for that kind of talk now Charis :lol:
April 13, 200619 yr why would anyone work with Simon Cowell :puke2: The only sucessful talent show contestants, in the UK at least(Kelly Clarkson, Will Young, Girls Aloud), have all done their own thing, & its worked for them brilliantly, in fact most people forget they won there respected shows. Anyone who works with Cowell, as soon as his latest TV show is on, ur forgotten & left to rot. Maybe Shayne Ward will buck this trend, but unless he goes in a new direction i cant see it IMO
April 13, 200619 yr Well apart from the obvious disappointment at the way this dreadful woman has written this article, I for one am so glad this is all out in the open. Perhaps now Gareth can get on with realeasing his music the way he's been wanting to do for over 2 years. At last he's free of the shackles and in my opinion BMG, in their stupidity, will be the ones regretting this in the end. They seem to be so set in their ways they will risk losing real talent rather than allow for the fact an artist has better ideas than they do. Good on you Gareth for sticking to your guns. I think I'm right in saying BMG have made mistakes like this before. Well, time will tell, but as far as I'm concerned, as long as Gareth is making music which I love, he will have my total support. Incidentally this album that VN is so scathing about, has been written almost entirely by Gareth, with all original material and Gareth plays his instruments on several of the tracks. Hardly someone with no talent in my book In writing this article VN has proven herself wrong, repeatedly in the last 2 years, as she's written on at least three other occasions that Gareth has been `dropped'. It could even be more times than that, as I've given up reading her column. How many times can you be `dropped' from the same contract. If `dropped' is the correct wording of course :D
April 13, 200619 yr Will was on Matthew Wright(standing in for Steve Wright on Radio 2) and when a comment was made about Gareth not releasing a cd Will said "He is" and the conversation moved on. Will is with 19 too so would have some idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Edited April 13, 200619 yr by munchkin
April 13, 200619 yr Funny how the only statements to be found anywhere are on ggates.co.uk and 19 Entertainments website. Strange that the BMG website mentions nothing Strange how once again VN "sources" have come out to play and even stranger that they should say such uncalled for things about Gareth's forthcoming material (especially as BMG have yet to hear the tracks!) Funny that eh?

Will is with 19 too so would have some idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Thanks for that. Will has always spoken well of Gareth and has been very supportive of him. I would say he definitely knows exactly what has been going on.

April 14, 200619 yr oh didnt see this thread...I posted about it in here as well, but it has the official article
April 14, 200619 yr Will was on Matthew Wright(standing in for Steve Wright on Radio 2) and when a comment was made about Gareth not releasing a cd Will said "He is" and the conversation moved on. Will is with 19 too so would have some idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Cheers. I heard that interview and though the comment was quick and the conversation moved on it was pretty definite. As you say, Will will have some idea of how 19 are thinking so I feel pretty postive we will be hearing something from Gareth soon.
April 14, 200619 yr There is a two page spread in today's Express on the subject (not bad for someone everyone is supposed to have forgotten about). This extract was posted on Gareth's official website. For the moment all is not lost. It was striking that Gates’s management company 19 was keen to talk yesterday and its enthusiasm for its young client appeared to be genuine. A 19 entertainments spokeswoman insisted that the company still had full confidence in the 21 year old singer who is continuing to work on his planned third album. She cited several artists including Mariah Carey and Embrace who had gone on to fruitful careers after changing record labels. 'Contracts often come up for renewal, sometimes the artist decides not to continue sometimes the label'. She said 'As far as our relationship with him is concerned nothing has changed. We are going forward with our plans with Gareth, they just won’t involve BMG'. Sounds good to me. :cheer: :cheer:
April 14, 200619 yr In the Sun (or was it the Star?) there is a little piece saying that Gareth is training to be a fitness instructor and has bought lots of equipment from Total Fitness.
April 14, 200619 yr yes, and we all beleive everything written in the Star and the Sun "Its written in the Sun Read it in the stars on Sunday You don't know Monday who you are" a Darius lyric I like a lot "
April 14, 200619 yr Simon Fuller has a reputation for being very loyal to his people. 19 have Gareths recording contract & management contract so they'll be looking around for a new deal for him I'm sure.

"It's all absolutely still positive at our end for Gareth," said the spokeswomean. "You haven't heard the last of him." He is now living a settled life in London with his 30 year old girlfriend, dancer Suzanne Mole, and rarely ventures out on to the celebrity party circuit. Rumours that he and Suzanne have secretly married are not true but they are said to be happy. He has got to grips with the McGuire Programme again and is now qualified to teach it to help other stammerers. Neither has he frittered away his money. His father Paul has invested much of it in stocks and shares. Gareth has also bought his parents a £600,000 farmhouse near Keighley in West Yorkshire and is a regular visitor. Lovely pic as well . Maybe Gareth has bought some fitness equipment to save him going down the gym - but fitness instructor ? come on ! :dance:
April 14, 200619 yr I think there is a helluva lot more to the news that Gareth has parted company with BMG than meets the eye. was gatheth gates signed directly to sony bmg or just licenced from 19?
