I''ve just seen his new video called Angel on My Shoulder

I really rate this track and although it's pretty obvious the video is OK imo. He looks pretty hot as usual. This should have been the first release for sure.

I love this song, and even though I also love Changes, its much more instantly catchy. I hope with better air play it will do ok for Gareth.
First playing on Radio 2 on Sat, they have put it on their B list.

I saw the video earlier. Its got a very nice feel good theme to it. Definitely think this should have been the first release, but having said that I loved Changes and Gareth obviously wanted that to be the first one.
Lets hope he gets better airplay for this one.

It's an improvement on his first single but I'm still not seeing anything amazing that will blow people away and reach number 1. He needs a really big hit for this comeback to succeed, IMO.

At least this one has got on several Radio playlists, which was something that didn't hapen with Changes.

I don't think it really matters whether it gets to No1 as long as it does reasonably well.

It's certainly more radio-friendly which is a plus.

Yeah it doesn't have to go to #1 but it has to be successful so his album sells.

I love this song. I always thought it had more mainstream appeal, and it will be great to hear it on the radio again.

The video quality isn't great, but the audio is quite good on this footage from an awards ceremony Gareth sang at recently.

I would say the message is that people should not be prejudiced and judge people on how they look, and that everyone can be a guardian angel, all depends on the situation.
Well that is the message I got from it.

That's the message I got from it too. To look at the full picture before forming an opinion. And also that someone hasn't always been a perfect son. lol

He is hugging someone at the end for a few seconds, which might represent his mother, or his girl friend, its just a back view, someone with blond long hair.

I've seen it on the music channels. It's a really lovely song and I have to admit liking it a lot more than 'Changes'.

It's currently being played on B4 as I'm typing this!

yes it is his mum, Wendy, it's a brave to have her in it as he is already well known as a mummys boy. I think she is quite a dominant force in his life though so perhaps it was her decision rather than his!

We dont know if its his mum at all, or were you presents at the filiming? I think its suppose to represent her, that is all.

Gareth makes no bones about it loving his mum who has always been there for him, and with his bad stammer in the past obviously had to speak up for him.
But I think it shows more character to say that you dont care what people think, you got a loving relationship and are not afraid to admit it.

Regarding the video, its a back shot for a few seconds, but a lovely ending.

Well you got your opinion, I got mine.

Does not take away from it being a great song and a good video.

She may or not have been. Personally I think it was a very good look-alike actress. Whichever it was though, it was portrayed very subtly that Gareth is not afraid to be proud of his family and his love of his mum, who is there for him, letting him get on with his life, but always there to pick up the pieces when or if necessary. The mark of a strong family background. It certainly wasn't in your face.

The video is on his website!

It connects well with the song, which I love more and more each time I hear it.

Yep, and we don't see her face. It could be an actress for all we know.

Who gives a flying ..... anyhow? How do people other than hardened fans know what she looks like either? I don't get it. He looks hot in the video and the song is ace and that's the main thing. This song really shows how good a singer he is imo.
