They've had a near perfect comeback with some brilliant songs, but where do they go from here?

Do they stay together for a long time, or go out now whilst they're amazingly successful?

I think they will stay together indefinitely, make more albums and tour on and off. I imagine their schedule will be less hectic than the last couple of years though as I think there are other things they want to do outside TT. Hopefully that means another Mark solo album but I think TT have tonnes of mileage left in them as a band.

I'll give it a year, two at most, before they gradually just slip away.

Not gonna happen, they are phenomenally successful, if they go it will be their own decision.

It's visible though, that they are becoming more and more tired!

They'll stay together as they know they have nothing without each other. Their solo careers flopped and they have an audience. Not sure how long it'll last though.

If Gary had any sense he'd dump the others because lets face it they are just dancers and nothing else, he has all the talent.

They have played their ace, Gary and his backing band will now simply fade away, satisfied in the knowledge that they trumped Robbie....but hey, they leave with a pile of cash !

They are recording new material but taking a break too. Howards DJ ing until April and Marks got his solo stuff going on.
Gary has many projects on the go, a new publishing company and writes for other artists
They have children now so I expect they take main priority.
Good luck to them whatever happens

Where now? I'd say serving me my groceries in Tesco. S'where they belong, the wretched bunch of talentless old gimmers.

Once purveyors of genuinely enjoyable pop music. Now, a sorry bunch of old men w*nking for coins.

Tragic.

I echo that sentiment.

I'm always pessimistic about reformations, but TT have destroyed the blueprint for it really!

:yawn: So sick of hearing stuff like this! Ok you don't like them but you don't need to be so rude about them

There is no way they will disappear but they need a break after the last couple of years, they'll also continue to work together but work on their solo projects at the same time. The good thing is that they are their own people now not run by management telling them to do this & that, they can do it on their own terms.

In your dreams mate, GB was worth 15 million at least before the reunion so he hardly needs the cash!
What most people do not know is they were doing very well before all this, Howard across europe is a well respected DJ.

Well they seem to have that image and style that appeals to older women,the package that have made Westlife popular for so long,only difference is Take That are quite good.
So they'll definately get a couple more hit albums before winding down in popularity and touring/releasing on-off.

Its not just older women either, I know quite a few people 18 years and younger who love them and weren't even born when TT first started

Hopefully - retirement.

The appalling "Shine" was the final straw for me.

I honestly think the guys could have years more success to come.
They are better than they were in the 90s imo.

Have i listened to the album? are you having a laugh?

There are a million artists out there who are far better than any of those 4, the only reason they get attention is because they get the exposure. If we had radio stations and record companies that actually listened to some of the amzing music that is out there, Take that would be where they belong, Knowhere.

But saying that Gary is a talented bloke and its not his fault he is to shy to stand alone on a stage.

How can you comment on something you haven't even heard try doing so and you might get your facts right!

As for them having the exposure it is purely down to their talent that they get it cos they hardly do any promotion unlike some bands who are on every tv show and radio station plugging themselves

They defo do not need exposure one word in 2005 "tour" was enough to have miles of fans camped outside various arena's to buy tickets and in 2007 the same thing to the tune of Manchesters credit card system collapsing for 2 hours.
Its not their fault other bands don't get exposure is it ?
If you knew anything about TT you would know Gary has a project helping and supporting young singers/songwriters with his music partner Eliot Kennedy
