Jason still looks good.

I was never into them though.
I am peculiarly pissed off by Marks love-rattyness too.

HerBeatitude · 19/11/2010 22:21

They look much better now and their music is much better.

Don't know where the fat comes from. If anything, Jason looks like he could do with a good square meal.

5DollarShake · 19/11/2010 22:22

I do not get the music, I do not get the attraction. I do not get them. That's what I mean, I don't get them. Grin

I agree. Every fat old person in the public eye singers,actors,etc should be made to retire to make way for us groovey young dudes who can still see our feet

yabu

love ya Howard ( i am 41 lol)

Hulababy · 19/11/2010 22:24

Old?????

Robbie is 36 - hardly old. Think rest are only a year or so older than that in general.

Fat - nah, don't think so.

They can still sing and they can still entertain.

floweryblue · 19/11/2010 22:26

they still seem to be making the same music which is yummy, just wish they would give up on the idea that any of them, other than Gary, can hold a tune and someone pls pass Robbie a pill of some sort

pointydog · 19/11/2010 22:27

They are a boy band, old school, and barlow can write some good songs. Lots of ballady stuff for those who have a crush on them. ALl teh women who grew up with them will be all nostalgic and will go giddy at the mere mention of thjeier name.

pointydog · 19/11/2010 22:27

Gazz can sing.

pointydog · 19/11/2010 22:30

yeah, boy band. As in that;'s what they started off as and that's what many still think of them as.

lolabells · 19/11/2010 22:45

I heart Take That! YABVU!!

Although I also feel in love slighlty with Harry from McFly tonight. I sense it may soon be that time of the month if I'm lusting like this!

TheSkiingGardener · 19/11/2010 22:48

Thought they were good then saw them tonight. My God! 4 beardy weird looking blokes and Robbie and only Robbie and Gary can hold a note!

Phew, was wondering if I should have got tickets, glad I didn't now!

MaryAnnSingleton · 19/11/2010 22:49

they are shite

Portofino · 19/11/2010 22:51

Give me Simon Le Bon anyday! I saw a picture of his 50 odd yo self recently and my, he looks hot.

pointydog · 19/11/2010 22:52

Le Bon? Hot? A singer?

I think not.

pissovski · 20/11/2010 00:35

Would rather have Boyzone (well, could take or leave Ronan) - Stephen :(

Pan · 20/11/2010 00:51

the OP is obv. lithe, and muti-talented in the entertainment industry and "age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety..", and so she has a perfect position to judge from...etc.Smile

and old and slightly fat blokes are hot, hot and hot!!

KittyFoyle · 20/11/2010 00:53

I think the two tall ones whose names I can never remember hav improved with age. Gary Barlow has always looked like a tubby estate agent and Robbie is a chubby monkey. Mark Owen is a whispy little chap isn't he?

HerBeatitude · 20/11/2010 00:57

I think they've all improved with age except Robbie, who looks ravaged. (I like that word)

MrsBonkers · 20/11/2010 00:57

Gary does nothing for me, so he can keep watch for my DH while I have the other four!
Smile

KittyFoyle · 20/11/2010 00:59

Robbie's too round to be ravaged. Dh saw Peter O'Toole staggering out of a shop in Mayfair this afternoon. Robbie's cheeks will never be sunken enough no matter how much damage he does to himself.

madhattershouse · 20/11/2010 01:00

Forget the improvements in the others ..I'll take ravaged robbie!! Or should that be ravage Robbie Grin

piratecat · 20/11/2010 09:48

have to say tho, I thought Robbie looked more like Robbie Rotten last night.
