X Factor Results: Gary Barlow returns with Take That to perform These Days


Take That 

The boys are back: Take That performed their new single These Days on the X Factor Results Show tonight (November 23)

Boy band-turned-man band Take That entertained the audiences on the seventh live Results Show for X Factor tonight, as they performed their new track These Days.
It was a poignant moment for Gary Barlow, as he made his comeback on the show which he used to be a judge on.
Joining his bandmates – Howard Donald and Mark Owen – on stage, the boys looked suave in black suits with white detailing, as they sang and danced for the audience. We wonder what it took to get Gary to show off his moves as he is notoriously sensitive about his prowess on the dance floor!
These Days, which is Take That’s first single as a trio, following Jason Orange’s departure, shows off a new side to the boys, with funky guitar riffs combining with a pop feel.
Asked how it felt to return to the show, Gary said: “It’s brilliant being back. Brilliant being back, it really is. I’ve missed everyone, I really have.”
Howard spoke about life as a trio now Jason Orange has left, and told Dermot: “It’s going fantastic actually, we miss Jason thought. But it’s going really well.Bit nervous but it’s going well so far.
“We felt nervous about how people would react, but the fans have been absolutely amazing, so thanks for that.”
And the third member of the trio talked about the boys’ plans to go on the road next year.
“It’s been a while, it’s been four years since we toured but we’re going on tour next year in April and hopefully people will come and see us.”
After that the guys were asked who they were bakcing to win, with Gary picking Over 25s act Fleur East, Mark going for either Fleur or Andrea Faustini, and Howard adding: “I’d say Andrea, but if it’s to go and see anyone live I’d go and see Stevi [Ritchie].”

Cheryl Cole: will she bring The X Factor back to glory?

With Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole back on the X Factor judging panel, is the ITV talent show set for resurgence?




Cheryl Cole will return to The X Factor as a judge, alongside Simon Cowell


Simon Cowell recently had one baby, with son Eric born four weeks ago. Now he’s being more attentive to his other baby too. The eccentric svengail will not only return to The X Factor judging panel for this autumn’s series but last night announced that Geordie popstrel Cheryl Cole is coming back too.
While Cowell has been focusing his efforts on launching an American version, it’s not been a vintage few years for the ITV karaoke contest. Talent has proved uninspiring. Judges such as Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos have split opinion. It’s been routinely trounced in the ratings by BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing. With the reunion of Cowell and Cole on the panel, though - replacing Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger - it might just become required viewing again.
After sitting next to her for three years, Cowell adored Cole so much that he flew her across the Atlantic to work alongside him on The X Factor US. However, she failed to click with audiences, partly due to her accent, and Cowell was infamously forced to fire her just weeks into her Stateside role. It was humiliating for Cole and relations have been understandably frosty ever since.
