1st TV performance of the re-united Take That with Robbie Williams performing 'The Flood' live on the X Factor, 14th November 2010

Exactly!

[@giuliac9801]

I agree. Watching Robbie Williams on Netflix brought me back memories that never left me. And Take That's return at the end of this year did the rest. They are still my lads and I love them so much. And I miss Jason so much

you can see the point robbie gets his confidence back and starts enjoying it

[@scarletfluerr]

This is Take That at their finest. Five grown men, their voices ripened with age, men who know who they are and love their music. They're not a boy band any longer, they're five artists who harmonize beautifully.

[@julianwiesmair]

No this ist authentic!

[@paolaalmazan6441]

It is!! I heard it a couple of times and you can tell the exact moment he breathes in to sing that high note... The second time was very slightly off key but by the third one it was perfectly pitched and could actually pull that long phrase with more ease and power.... Of course sound engineers will put some reverb and what not to make it sound even better but he was really singing.

He has such a unique voice.

[@mariadelcarmensalazarbronc5020]

I agree, but it looks good and they sound together .....

[@stephenasmith4666]

That’s right. He just needed that chance at being solo to really cement himself in the music industry. He came back at the right time

Let's face it. If this had been performed as the UK Eurovision entry that year it would've blown everything else out of the water.

No. Because Europeans don't like us, for good reason.

Nope. Blue were a worldwide phenomenon, and they didn’t even get a podium finish when they entered. Eurovision has nothing to do with talent, it’s all political propaganda.

My man. You're not gonna put one of the best selling pop bands of all time against relatively obscure musicians in a musical performance contest. That's like throwing Canelo Alvarez into a local boxing tournament.

So true! His voice is like a fine wine, it just keeps on getting better with age. Obviously Gary can sing but I do think Robbie has a much more powerful voice overall.

[@Blablablabla1ify]

When TT hit it big, I was a 14 year old boy in England. I thought their music was horrific. I was really into GnR, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam etc etc. Still am, with a lot more classic rock to boot. Yet I watched this from start to finish with chills and goosebumps throughout. I’ve watched it about 6 times before writing this. I’ll just watch it once more for good measure. Never heard this song before, absolutely loved it!!!

I just found this amazing group via KZbin, and I’m in my 60s! They are better than ANY “ boy band” we ever had here in America ! Of course, I’m a fan of early 80s music, and most of my favorite artists were all from the U.K. even then. I’m glad Robbie sang with the band again; he has the best and most powerful voice of the group, not to take Gary Barlow, who is also a fine singer.

[@ismayb754]

Agreed, Robbie and Gary are both good singers but they have very different voices and Take That used this wisely by using Robbie's voice in certain songs and Gary's in others.
