Ritch and Gary Barlow

[Mrs J.Brown]

If I was Robbie I wouldn't re-join with Take That.
1. because he has a very successful solo carreer.
2. because he'd end up being a back-up singer/dancer again like before.

Gary sang lead on most of their songs which was unfair really. So why would Robbie wanna join a band where he'd be in the background again?

[Cylise]

i think the rest of the guys have moved on (from the whole TT drama especially with the whole Gary vs Robbie thing) , and Mark has said that if Robbie wanted to come back and join them on a date during the tour then he would be able to...but if the reason is because of his album, then fine, understandable, if it is because he doesnt wanna "sing in the back" then hes got some ego and is immature

[Mrs J.Brown]

It's got nothing to do with ego. I personally would feel I was taking a backstep as far as my carreer was going if I had to do what Robbie would have to do to re-join TT. It's not about ego it's their carreers. Who in their right mind would leave a good job to take a backstep in their carreer? No-one with their head on right. (Perhaps if it were just a fun thing but it's not for Robbie)

[Cylise]

Beyonce did it when she rejoined Destiny's Child...

[Mrs J.Brown]

She was much bigger in Destiny's Child than in her solo if you add up her world wide fame.
Also she didn't LEAVE DC she took a little time off for a solo carreer along with the other girls so they didn't split they had plans to return to DC. Later though as we know they split.

[Cylise]

The band admitted they would love Robbie to join them.

Gary said: “I think we can all say we would definitely have loved that. But we do respect that’s not going to happen.

“Rob’s got his own deal going on and we obviously wish him the best with that.”

Mark added: “The door’s always open for Rob. If ever he’s bored one day and we’re on the road and he wants to come and sing a song, we’re always ready to do that.

“We’ll have a spare mic ready for him on stage.”

Jason revealed he had spoken to Robbie in recent weeks and Robbie had given his blessing to the reunion.

“He’s absolutely given us his blessing. He’s in a place where he’s comfortable with himself and his own career.

“But I should imagine he might have mixed feelings - he’s delighted for us but he might be a bit wistful as well.

“But he’s cool, this won’t offend him. He won’t be upset by this.”

[Caitlin]

i don't think of it as taking a back step, i just think it's something like taking time out of his solo career to remember his roots, it's just something for the fans.

[retro399]
