Take That Forever!

One of my favourite bands in the world, Take That recently released a new album - The Circus. No, not the Britney Spear's one. :O They are adopting a more clean-cut & mature image now, compared to Ms Spears who is continuing her 'sex selling' formula.

To me, TT represents not only another boy-band, they reminded me of my fond memories during secondary school days, especially with my friendship blossoming becoz' of them with my buddy, Shida. We literally could just talk about them non-stop every day - I would just enjoy talking about my favourite band member, Robbie Williams & Shida, of course her ultimate favourite, Jason Orange! We would enjoy laughs & joke about them. Those were the fun days! Few people could understand our passion towards them, I reckon. We basically grew together with them, maturing with them. After so many years, I'm so happy that most of them have settled down & with kids (except Jason). Robbie though already left TT, to us, he'll always be an integral part of the band. He too, found the love of his life, his soulmate @ the U.S.A. :) Thank God, he mellowed down alot & discarded his havoc days.

Well, I just started listening to the new album now & I really like what I hear. Its a bit different from their previous album"Beautiful World". Mr Orange finally got the chance to sing solo with the song "Wooden Boat" but the new album, I was quite disappointed coz I didn't get to hear him sing this time round. :( I like his voice, & poor him, being describing as 'croaking like a toad' previously...haha! He has a voice real suited to sing accoustic, country-like songs. I guess becoz he enjoys & plays the guitar well. :) Little Markie got to sing most of the songs in the new album, with Dada Howard & Gary singing a few. Keep it up, Markie! :D Its great that they get to be involved in their music now, rather than being heavily controlled of their every move by that previous manager of theirs, Nigel Smith or Nigel Chicken, more adorably known as.....haha! I guess thats the major reason that Robbie left, he just couldn't take it anymore. However, I realized out of the band members, he's the most successful to launch his solo career. He couldn't really shine with his talents becoz of restrictions in TT but its amazing to know & see how really talented he is, he's so good with poems, song-writing! The rest, not so, their success come from being in TT rather than solo, I reckon.

I just hope that they will continue to make good music in years to come & maybe a reunion concert with Robbie, as the original 5 piece band. :) God bless them all!
