Is it wrong to like Take That?

[Halli]

What they meant was that Mark is no Geru Halwell when he unleashes his vox

 

[jyxz]

There is something about Mark's voice, Shine would be shite without him

I bet you have a dolphin tattoo on your hip too

 

[Inner Smile]

No tattoos but I wouldn't mind one

 

[dUb]

Gary must be the most handsome boring man alive

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Take That are still a Capital booking!?

 

[dUb]

I hope Howard gave everyone a rousing rendition of Hail Mary.

 

[Eddie]

Take That are still a Capital booking!?

Yeah...this is very telling.

 

[Eddie]

Is this a nostalgia booking? Padam was CURRENT!

Blatant misogyny.

 

[VoR]

Yeah...this is very telling.

Of what?

Surely given their back catalogue they’re the kind of group who’d basically be welcome at an event like that for life?

 

[Ellie]

exactly who is the Capital FM audience these days anyway?

 

[VoR]

I’m pretty confident Kylie could also rock up to Capital FM anytime she wanted to, regardless of whether she was currently in the charts.

At that point in your career you’re basically the safest possible booking to please a crowd like that.

Really? I get the impression that the Capital Summertime ball is very much about what is "in" these days though I could be wrong.

No, Robyn was booked.

 

[VoR]

Last year they had Busted vs Mcfly and Jessie J on the bill.

We’re not talking Radio One here. It’s always a mix.

 

[Eddie]

Oh fair. I stand corrected

 

[lolly]

They are just a very safe bet for anything like this, aren't they? Even if a resolutely unexciting one.

 

[dUb]

This was the lineup, plus Mis-Teeq. Broadly current/popular with a few exceptions.

 

[Eddie]

Bebe!

 

[Agneeta]

 

[jyxz]

 

[rhythmbandit]

Gary appears to be the most well preserved 35 year old man around!

 

[Sanchordia]

Mark's "Child" is a classic.

 

[Ellie]

How does Jason DeRulo still get booked at this sort of stuff?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'd much rather see him live than Gary Barlow!

 

[Madison]

Such terrible logos.

 

[Eddie]

Norman Cook front and centre!

 

[hyperwoof]

None of the traditional media outlets are managing to build much of a relationship with thee kidz these days - it's more about trying to retain the audience you already have, and everyone - EVERYONE - frankly just loves a band/ or artist with any recognisable hits that they maybe had a bop to once.

 

[funky]

This was the lineup, plus Mis-Teeq. Broadly current/popular with a few exceptions.

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR OF THAT

 

[hyperwoof]

Waiting for Niall Horan to turn into Micky from Boyzone.

 

[Rita]

This was the lineup, plus Mis-Teeq. Broadly current/popular with a few exceptions.

I am not really sure if this is a clip art version of something but do Take That not still sell out stadiums? Why are they so low down in the pecking order of that poster?

 

[Eddie]

AGEISM

 

[Devil]

I’m guessing possibly due to them catering to a younger audience? Potentially those in their teens and twenties would be more drawn to Niall or Myles or whoever over TT or Derulo. Enough of a mix though to appeal to those in their thirties and forties.

 

[lolly]

That doesn't explain Fatboy Slim

 

[Pipo]

Jason Derulo can still get it

 

[Inner Smile]

Jason Deruloooooo
