It is a truly dreadful song and to make it worse I didn't make it to the remote control in time and it's been stuck in my head all evening ![]()

We were there last night - interesting about the Robbie Gary duet ..... they firstly recorded Robbie singing on his own with 4 of the girl dancers ... then about 10 minutes later they set up the floor with a sort of velvet cloth covered in starry lights. On came R & G - they sang their duet BUT had to to it again as R messed up the opening few bars!
So we were all there "live". It's a pity that there was no time for Robbie's solo with the dancers. I'm not a great fan of Robbie Williams, but he was very amusing and whilst he and Gary were awaiting the OK from the first recording, he bantered qujite a bit with the jusdges and audience. It was a lot of fun. |

I thought it was painfully bad lol. The 13 year old in me who loved Take That and was sad when Robbie left squeed a little but then the 28 year old in the rest of me slapped the shit out of my face.

Whilst I agree with the views of the OP, I'd like to point out that I've been using that board name on here for four years longer than he's been a member.
I'm prompted to make this post, because I couldn't remember being the OP! You have 4 years on me for the forum, but Humphry and The Big Sleep have a lot more years on either of us (and Digital Spy.) ![]() Regarding the Song of Robbie and Gary.... I'm good at interpreting obscure poetry and lyrics and seeking out hidden meanings. I think the song alluded to two people, probably men (but I'd hate to assume ) who in the past had some kind of relationship - something in the public domain perhaps?. There seems to be a hint of some split, followed by a lot of public animosity, where each party told their side of the story through some kind of public forum. Later, one went on to be hugely successful, after a short dip in popularity... Then their success faded and the other party was in the assendancy, perhaps backed up by others in a similar postion... some kind fo group?. I feel the song celebrates the two coming together in a mutually lucrative financial partnership.... I think it is a story most people can relate to... Who hasn't broken up with a fellow celebrity and done a similar thing?.... I've often gone into Toys R us and seen ex partners posted on the walls. Like all great songs, it speaks to the predicament of the common man/woman. I'm sure the sacked dancers (kept on as extras) could have conjured up some interpretation....Of course, this is all speculation and me reading very deeply between the lines to extract a well buried meaning. |

I thought it was fab, I'm afraid I still haven't outgrown my squeeeee despite being older than you
Don't feel shame. I still have a soft spot for Gary Barlow, I just thought the actual song was really lame lol.

It's a reference to when Take That had dolls for them as part of their merchanising in the 90s which were then sold at Toy R Us, hence the big 30ft poster advertising them. Must have stuck in Robbies or Gary's mind all these years.

Since Radio1 pointed it out to me I can't get over how much the start of that godawful song sounds like the theme tune to Postman Pat. I imagine it would be hard to dance to.
I owned a Mark Owen doll back when I was a young Mambo

I really dislike the song (then again, I'm no fan of Robbie or Take That), so I wasn't looking forward to watching the performance, but I did, because I thought there would be a Pro Dance during it. Sad there wasn't.

I liked it. And I hate it when someone sings and they have the dancers prancing about. I think it distracts from the song.

Thinking about it, Robbie and Gary should have waltzed around the floor together with their new found happiness!

After he'd warmed up Robbie was to give a passable impression of someone who can sing but my overall review would be...
Get a room, boys! |
