First thing I saw when I turned on the TV just before New Year was Gary Barlow singing then meeting and greeting an adoring public. He looked not just like the cat that got the cream but a cat that was positively rolling in the cream. He seems to have been in on everything this last year or so.
I don't know whether to admire him or be nauseated. Maybe there is a smidgen of envy there
I only know I had to switch channels as I was beginning to feel the previous meal welling up.....:o
Should we not just confer a sainthood on him and be done with it or is this an honour only bestowed on the deceased?

Half a bottle of wine whilst being forced to watch I noticed:
He doesn't open his mouth when talking sort of keeps the lips over his teeth.
He is totally shit at singing live.
Loves himself beyond belief.
Has a whiny speak voice.
I really really hate him, and hope I am never forced to have to watch or listen to him again.
I've got to be honest though - as much as I despise the man - he has proved that he is bigger than Take That and he truly doesn't need them. The next Take Tour and album that comes out - everyone will be saying what they did the first time around - Gary Barlow is the TALENTED one in the group. Which is probably how he likes it. Its going to be so embarrassing for Mark, Howard and Jason to be on stage with him - knowing that the audience is there only for Gary and that they three are there only by the good grace and favour of Gary Barlow.
He does seem to be really popular at the moment though.
I heard he did a duet with his younger self on the show. if true, I don't think self love gets much bigger...
Total T*at!
I read about that on another thread and thought wtf?? Thought I'd misunderstood what was being said
Ken Dodd broke the law, Gary Barlow hasn't. Big difference between legal tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion
Personally I don't like the bloke - but his stand-up is funny - and apparently for those who go to see him - he is excellent value for money. Besides that - at least he has a personality - unlike Barlow.
You know Gary then? Nice one.
Well that is very true.
So will he be walking on water this year, just making that extra effort?:D
I heard pope Francis has him earmarked for sainthood.;-)
God, really? urgh! what song, out of interest?
A Million Love Songs Later. Done without any irony that he was duetting on a love song with himself. Truly truly awful.
But his tax dogging was played down and buried by the press when Jimmy Carr became public enemy number one Tax dodger (and rightly so) Luckily for Barlow he didn't base his career on bashing tax avoiding by the rich and bankers unlike the hypocrite Carr. It was interesting when the PM named Carr as a tax dodger but refused to comment on Tory supporter and fundraiser Barlow. Sadly he will get knighted as that's the way it works - snuggle up to one of the political parties and supporting the military always helps.
To be honest though - the other channels did nothing to oppose it so its no wonder the ratings were good (that and Barlow's housewife brigade). We ended up watching some films we'd managed to get hold of so we were spared. I must admit to a tiny pinch of curiosity as to this self-indulgent duet he did! Anything for a laugh!
