Well, the Beatles Medley is ace, isn't it? :lol: A workout is never bad, at least not for these lazy 5 who had enough money (especially Robbie) to avoid doing anything at all on their own. A healthy lifestyle and a 'Maddona' daily workout is not sth god himself can persuade Robbie to follow mind you. They will all eat pizza and drink beers watching football every single week!!! :P :P :P Robbie positively relishes the opportunity now as he always does (although I believe he honestly likes it) in a diplomatic way but he can really handle a great image and is smart enough to make his move later on if needed. His communication tallent is not inferior to his entertaining tallent. And this one is getting better with age. Seriously now, I love Robbies entertaining abillity and you would never call him middle-aged on stage. I believe the the Circus tour was a very nice tour overall. (I have to admit I do not remember the hardcore stuff you mentioned). Robbie drops his pants frequently so it won't be much of a sock. And I am not too sure about the good singing either. Robbie has his ups and downs, Gary's voice is not like it was years before and the rest 3 could never sing well. I want it to turn out well in a 'magic' way but it may be fun to watch it if it does not anyway. B)

:o :o :o :o :o Sweet little jeasus! What is that? TT trying to be JLS? Well they cannot be! (thank god) They should really quit the hilarious dancing, it is beyond obvious they cannot dance like this. Leave the beat for Gaga Kesha or Jason Derulo please! Come on Norma if TT were like what we see in the video would they have even sold 1/10 of what they have since their reunion? It is not even entertaining it is pathetic (no comment for the outfit lol!). Robbie cannot dance like that (pfeww) but none of the 4 of them can either. <_< I really hope that Mark and Howard won't do their gay burst dancing and Rob won't do the monkey dancing! I hope they won't repeat the dance moves they did when they were teenagers (which are all out of fashion btw) because of which most of their fans went undercover feeling embarased to admit they loved the cheeky band. TT and of course Robbie deserve MUCH more than this nevertheless. ;)

I believe we shouldn't worry too much. Selling a song (for each contestant) every week will weaken the focus on specific songs and therefore their ability to chart high anyway. There is no chance XF fans will download every single song. And even if they do that will still make all the anticipation for their debut album and singles wear off. The singer that flares fast extinguishes soon! ;) It seems scary when you first hear it but in the end we will have more XF songs charting (I mean selling coppies because they want be eligible to chart) but they will all chart lower (sell less). The income will be much higher for the industry but the lack of focus will push all these 'brilliant tracks' down. I suppose everybody here knows how much they care about the winners future career by now. The have new sweet puppets every year. :puke2: This may take a little time to take effect (months?) but at least may result to less XF chart toppers.

TAKE 5! 1) If Rob&TT sell huge in the UK it will have worldwide impact and they may enjoy a little success in Europe and why not in the US. Still it will be only because of the hype and it will wear off in a few weeks. If Robbie was not determined enough to break America I don't think the TT boyband ever will. 2) Comparing TT with The Beatles is just pathetic. I may like Robbie more than I've ever liked the old-fashioned Beatles but TT with or without Rob will never come close to the Beatles success (nor will any other band in the future). The music industry, press and showbiz desperately need the new Beatles so they will all pretend it is TT and will then take it back a year later. 3) TRWS & NOTW think the reunion will be permanent while The Sun insisits it is just for a year. At least they both have a clear opinion :wacko: 4) I don't believe America will ever appreciate this kind of pop music, not unless it is hannah montana jonas bros or any other stupid disney act. :puke2: 5) I am starting to believe that expectations are ridiculously high and this by itself could break them appart (thank god) even faster than their egos.

You prefer ladies' songs don't you? :lol: :lol: Because more people buy them. I cannot tell you why. It's a big secret :P

Well I am not annoyed if you want to express a different opinion but I feel California Gurls was TIK TOK with a sex-on-the-beach chorus. Lyrically (and musicaly) Teenage Dream is better in my opinion although it won't outperform the much more hyped and catchy CG. Also TD is different than the rest of Katies singles. _lol who voted flop????_

California Gurls is a more catchy but I prefer Teenage Dreams. It will be a top3 hit, could climb all the way to no1 depending on competition. Taio's Dynamite is :puke2: but he may top Katie on the first week if they are released together. I am more interested in seeing how her album will do now that is has had a lot of succesful singles and people know her. One of the Boys didn't chart well but I expect this album will do better.

So they ARE going to the Olympic Games after all! Nice move! Lol look at them! :heehee: Somebody better call the lifeguard (if it i not the one pulling them anyway from the front). Am I the only one here who doen't like the sailorman-musketeer image? The other team is laughing at them :kink:

Do Westlife actually sell anymore :wacko: Robbie and TT faced little competition in album sales in the past years, after the reunion I think they will propably sell more then the rest alltogether. If JLS could manage 100k it would be good for them (still bad for music). If Westlife could manage 150k it would be beyond expectations. If the fab5 sell less than 400k on the first week I will consider it a flop! ^_^ I don't believe they could tackle the record though, not unless they have a killer single and 5 covers... If this is the end of TT however (bear in mind they will also tour together in 2011) the album could slowly (well not so slowly) become one of the bestsellers in the UK history.

Come on! Is there any doubt really that TT&Rob's single will be better (I certainly hope it is not just better, well the popeye the sailor-man outfit doesn't help at all) than the X-factor? :angry: And if X-factor releases at christmas don't take it for granted TT can beat them, neither Robbie nor TT have ever managed that in the past (Bleeding love? Bad Boys? ...) and it will be the major XF release which goes platinum first week! With the albums out and taking into acount they are not the best single sellers it is wishfull thinking to believe then can do that. I am on TT's side , I cannot work with the devil :teresa:

I am pretty sure they won't be anything like ''relight my fire'' anymore. None of them would want to. They will put on a 'classic' show in a grown up + back4good (more fun and entertaining having Robbie on board though) style in an attempt to prove they are indeed all time classic (lets see) and finish the business like that. The album will get to no1 is not enoug to explain what will happen this autum-winter. The hype will be huge, R&G and then all 5 of them will do a lot of promo... they have concerts lined up... Robbies GH is out too so there will be (no doubt) special sales for the two of them together and they will easily dominate the market regardless the quality YES. Both could be 3xplat (or more) until january. TT's album TBA is no7 on amazon preorders :blink: :lol:

What is that? :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: Only we are allowed to bash the lads! Well it is interesting enough to see there is an opposition to the generall ''welcome back'' hype :rofl: :thinking: :heehee: Oh and Norma what I like most about the article is the picture and its comment! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Number speak for themselves... Spice girls are the best. I though I disliked boybands but I just found out I hate girlbands even worse! Most of the list (well pretty much the whole list) I cannot stand! :D

It is funny how TT fans who dislike Rob and Rob's fans who hated the old TT boyband have formed a 'bashing' (and not only) alliance! I wouldn't expect that but I totally enjoy it. I quess if the reunion is for just a year we will all accept TT (and Rob in a shorter scale) 'needed' money. Then Robbie's fans will undoubtedly welcome him back to his solo thing given he is smart enough to know how to explain why this was the plan of 2010-11. TT fans have already been sensing they are about to quit music industry, but some may(?) still not forgive them. What I would also like to underline is that it looks like an R&G thing all over. The remaining 3 are for the time being in the shadows at writing, singing, promo and all other aspects.

Then this is it? This sounds completely understandable to me. A golden last chapter in TT's book. (in numbers of money,glory and hype the quality remains yet to be proven). Then Robbie back to his solo thing. I wouldn't mind that. And I guess TT fans won't mind... if TT were about to retire anyway this looks like a glorious way to me (prosperous as well). Back in time I may have reacted someway else, but from the available alternatives, I happily choose this.

I also believe Beautiful World was much better. You cannot stand anything Robbie has done? (the rest I just quote and don't repeat)... I didn't know you liked him that much :lol: :banghead: My previous post states all I have to say for the reuninon at this time. As a TT fan it is only understandable (and respectable o'course) you prefer Gary and his way and there is nothing wrong with it, music has to do with taste art and personality. Don't expect to find too much compassion on that one since this is Rob's forum. Oh and I agree on everything Cleo said

In case it wasn't clear, I believe (and know since they did it in the near past) TT could sell out stadiums in the UK and Ireland on their own. I was talking about a worldwide tour. Last TT album outsold Robbie's thats a fact but music industry is rapidly changing so none of us could be sure their next album would do that too. TT are not at all bigger in the UK than Robbie if you see the story of the last decade (concerts records awards singles albums press or whatever). Currently they are same size in the UK though I would say. There is however a wide-spread feeling (you agree on that too?) that TT and their music are getting old.. yet not big enough to be the Beatles. And although Robbie is fresh and creative I am not sure his wind will be enough for all 5's wings. If it magically works out and we see a new great TT I will take a lot back and will be happy to buy the albums and watch the concerts. Untill I see the results I am just officialy 'undecided'. [there is still the possibility of the 5 of them milking millions in a year then the 4 go back to the quartet or just for tea and Rob goes back to his solo thing]

A sad day for music indeed... I don't believe the reuinited TT are going to be bad, and the concerts will be fine... but still Robbie was more than ''just fine'' alone. I am still curious to see how this works out because musically we all know there is NO room for Robbie in TT. Even worse, we will see in the near future people and magazines that have been bashing on Robbie's 'monkey' work now cheerleeding the fab5 reunion and their 'masterpiece' matterial. If Robbie is doing the clown dancing and the backup vocals to Gary's lord-like singing... SPARE US THE DETAILS :puke2: It will be still interesting to see what this will turn out to be... to be fair I do believe that lyrically and overall the new TT will be more on Robbie's style following the current. Anyway :lame: Oh and on the tour: it will be no surprise if it is MASSIVE. Management have been begging Robbie to do a worldwide tour, and there is too much anticipation for it everywhere. The stadiums will be soldout because of Robbie. It may be hugely dissapointing for the fans (the majority don't care about TT) if Robbie ignores his solo material but the concerts will be already sold out... boo000oing will still be available though! The management knows that too so I guess (I can only quess) on a worldwide scale it will be Robbie and (his band) TT

Nice tracklisting and (thank god) a very nice cover for IAOOC. B) So the second single is also a Robbie-Gary collaboration huh? I hope Gary doen't sing on it! :P

Jesus Christ! Brokeback mountain? "But first Robbie and Gary will warm up with the video likening their love-hate relationship to the tormented gay cowboys in the 2005 flick." :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: How worse can it really get? I just hope there is no sex in the video :kink: :kiss:

OWL CITY at last!!!

My best guess would be that JLS are falling so fast that the rest of the bars seen still... I don't know why but I have an explanation. JLS fanbase is really young and well connected to the internet. There must have been a lot of notifications about the release or even campaigns (?) to get the song to the top, so they were all eager to buy it right away. I don't think this song could get the boys any new fans anyway. It could be one of the fastest drops... So people with chart notebooks sharpen your pencils :teresa: :kink: :whistle: (I am s000000 sad)

Honestly I think it is going to be great tour! Still musically Rob does NOT belong with TT anymore (if he ever did) and I wonder what ''Robbie will join them on stage'' could mean. I feel (and hope) it is just a (one-off) collaboration following the Gary-Robbie duet and some gigs to milk all possible from the fab5's 'amazing' current status, not a full reunion. Robbie back for good in TT? I wonder who the hell wants to see that... (just imagine the choir version of Come Undone! :puke2: ) With shame scheduled the speculation and talk about reunion is going to take over the media! So much buzzzzzz (as if South Africa was not enough) Keep your windows shut, the storm is coming <_<

Oh, my mistake then... (I was not ironic, just curious btw) On the 1st-2nd album gap: It is more visible at hugely successfull debut albums (rihanna leona etc) The truth is that Overcome didn't sell millions anyway, so a second album selling 400k-ish (still 35+% down) could be considered a success. It always has to do with your expectations and standards. (the silence is a better song anyway but xf fans will once again have new puppets to play...)
