Woe to you Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
reckon the pop-idol of the beast
for it is a human idol
its name is Gareth Gates.

"Oh God" is what I think when Gareth Gates brings out a new album.

I cant wait to hear Gareth new music, I do know he has been working hard writing most of the songs, and also playing the guitar and the drums on most of the tracks.
That was always a dream of his.

Bloody good news as far as I am concerned too.

I loved Gareth's previous album, so can't wait.

I just hope that people can be open minded about it.

I understand that Gareth will have either written or co-written almost every track on his new album. Plus he will be playing his own musical instruments on several of the tracks.

Which record label will he release on out of interest?

Oblivian, Gareth has only done two covers which he was obliged to do during the Pop Idol year. Even his second single was an original. All he has done is Unchained Melody and Long and Winding Road with Will. Neither of which I like - even with Will on it.

He did, however, have covers for the b-side of them both (Evergreen and Anything Is Possible - and Suspicious Minds)

I am not a fan but I do think he is maligned rather unnecessarily sometimes.

I doubt it very much that Dark drums is pleased, they're lines from an Iron Maiden song actually and means sent from the devil.

LMAO, I'm sure Sybil knew, and was making a joke out of the ridiculous over-reaction, hence the use of LOL!

Actually, Gilberto, Gareth did a third cover of Spirit in the Sky as the Comic Relief song, but it was totally different from the previous versions and sold well over half a million copies to raise money for charity, so it served its purpose. However, the rest of Gareth's album was cover free, including 7 tracks which he wrote, with him as the first writer. Those tracks got a lot of the best reviews last time, and if you search publishing websites there are a fair few songs with his name on them that have yet to be released.

His last album had some decent songs on and deserved better. I rather fear for his career in the UK though as he's perceived as "old hat" and a lot of his fanbase has probably moved on.

Spirit in the Sky
Of course he did - I forgot that one. I was just thinking of the first year.

Don't worry, I understood where you were coming from

"Over-reaction", behave. It was tongue-in-cheek. Personally I couldn’t give a flying you know what about Gareth Gates. As for him being sent from the devil, of course not...that would be Westlife. Everyone knows that

Eight are sure it will be that high


Ye gods the guy is c**p. Why doesn't he just give up. He was never going to have the success Will had.

He needs a totally different direction i.e. no crappy Westlife style ballads.

I think its been said before, but everything is being kept very under wraps at the moment. As soon as someone knows the answer I'm sure they will post it.

I'm just as anxious as you to know that and also what these exciting projects are, which Gareth has been hinting at. I think he's enjoying keeping us guessing
