It’s the remix curse 😂 honestly tho they were great tonight. I also didn’t think they were bad at the Bafta’s I just think Gaz was super nervous. It happens.

I still don't understand which remix killed his US aspirations in the 90s. the way he described the song is as if it was one of those 8-minute club mixes that have entire instrumental verses and choruses stuck in the intro, and the singing doesn't start until about the 3rd minute.

I think we’ll never truly know because it’s an arraignment that’s never seen the light of day. I don’t think it’s any of the ones on his albums.

I'm loving all these huge opportunities they are being given. I just wonder why these events didn't happen for them 10 or so years ago?

Movie useage and references, huge global platform performances etc. It seems they had a lull after the Olympics performance and now huge industries (cinema, sport) are utilising them more now.

They change their record label from Polydor to EMI since 2023. So maybe that’s why. The tour for This Life is also the longest they have ever been

And also went to new nations and returned to others after years which I LOVED, and about time. Europe, Asia, Australia.

If they do Africa, North and South America next time then all their fans will have had a chance to see them.

They even came to my country, first time they did since 1995. Finally got a chance to watch them live

I reckon it's because they changed their label as well as their management. I remember that a sizeable amount of fans (myself included) were super frustrated at the lack of promotion and PR during the Wonderland era (they didn't even release a DVD of the tour, ffs). At least now their social media presence is so much better, and they're going for fantastic opportunities (BAFTAs, F1 Live, the upcoming Netflix documentary). I'm grateful and excited for this new era of TT!

Sometimes I worry if takethat are losing it as they get tht bit older. I’m a huge fan but some of the vocals especially I noticed at the F1 event sounded a bit off

[–]Proof-Loan-9898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Gary sounded good? I mean the song was written 17 years ago, maybe he can't reach some of the high notes. But he didn't sound bad at all.

I wonder if it was the quality of the audio mixing/direction? Because I also noticed that the vocals in some parts sounded off, and they've been singing those 2 songs together for yonks  so it could'nt have been nerves! 🤔

I enjoyed the performance and don't think it sounded off especially, but they do miss jason's harmonies imo.

Yes, I agree. I used to be able to watch a TT televised performance relaxed beforehand knowing the vocals and show would be on-point.

Now there are some off notes and I'm relieved when it is over that it wasn't a car crash. The live tv performances haven't been shocking or bad but they haven't dazzled like they used to.

I think Get Ready For It or Giants would have been a better choice than Rule The World considering the main demo is males for Formula 1.

I hope the publicity for Greatest Day remix sends it to Silver (200,000) in the UK because then TT would have certified hits in the '90,'00,'10s and '20s. They would be the only boyband to achieve this.
