You don't seem to like him which makes me wonder why you read his autobiography?
I liked Take That (still do - have been to about 9 concerts - all this time around - not at the teenybopper stage!!!) I also used to like Gary Barlow - but to be honest Miss N - its all this (in my opinion faux) charidee work that's put me off him. The first instance was at the Kilimanjaro thing he helped organise. A very noble effort and worthwhile - but he then spent £50,000 to bring all his 'celebrity' friends back to the uk on a private jet for the last leg of the journey home. To me it was just clearly 'showing off' and he didn't see the irony in that this £50,000 could have bought another 10,000 mosquito nets! This one gesture alone made me regret donating £20 to Comic Relief that year!
He's also a total turn-off on the X-Factor - all this 'head judge' talk - just crap-bloody-crap. Who wants to be captain of a sinking ship - obviously Captain Barlow does.
Then Gary should admit that he is willing to be a puppet - and not pretend to be about 'finding talent'. Mind you - for £2M I don't blame him.
Miss N - back to your comment / comparison with The Beatles - forget it. I do like Take That - and they put on superb shows - but musically no way on God's Green Earth can Gary Barlow's music be put on any sort of level of that of Paul McCartney and John Lennon - or even George Harrison. To suggest otherwise is just plain silly.

I'm not arguing. I don't like The Beatles and don't understand the fuss made over them.
I have said I like John Lennon's music though. Not keen on McCartney.
I find a lot of the Beatles songs repetitive...I wanna hold your hand blah blah blah!
I have thought he was after the knighthood for a while. All the charity stuff is great, but why not the first time round? Why now?
I imagine he was too young first time round. Take That's reunion became a bit of a phenomenom and gave them much more exposure. Robbie has done the same with his Soccer Aid charity. If they are high profile, they can attract more 'celeb' mates etc.

That's your opinion.
I have never understood Beatlemania. I preferred John Lennon's solo work.
