Posted July 14, 20205 yr Would tables have turned and they have been most popular pop act in Britain? Robbie has said East 17 are one of his favourite pop bands and joked that he would have been better fitted in that group. If he was a member, do you feel compared to a 4 man Take That in 90s, East 17 would have done better and potentially outsold Take That? Thoughts.
July 14, 20205 yr Def not, i think east 17 had far too many problems internally and im sure that could have been worse with robbie as he has said himself he had a huge ego back then and liked to play up.
July 15, 20205 yr I know nothing of E17, only became a fan of RW in 2003 .... always a solo fan but became a bit more interested in TT since , do very much like some of their material & they put on just great concerts ....
July 15, 20205 yr Of course not, it went horribly wrong for them because of Brian Harvey talking about his drug use in a radio interview. I doubt Robbie could have prevented that downfall.
July 15, 20205 yr Easy 17 had both internal and external issues along with Brian's drug issues that would always signify the end. If Robbie was in the band they may have ended even sooner. East 17 were lucky to have Stay Another Day in their discography or they would just about be remembered.
October 13, 20204 yr I only really know Stay Another Day. Take That have got many memorable hits. Maybe if Robbie was in East 17 they would have been more popular 🤔🤔
