Primeros planos del TTour








Mis felicitaciones a las fotógrafas del blog que hicieron todas las fotos que algunas no pudimos hacer. Los resultados, a la vista están, fotazas!
Un adelanto de la parte B del BlogForGood





Chicas, el TTour, algo que llevábamos esperando desde octubre ya terminó... :( pero como dicen por ahí... aún queda el posTTour, que comenzará una vez tengamos el DVD en nuestras manos, mientras tanto, un adelanto de mis fotillos, que con las vistas que tuve, aunque me tuve que contener para poder disfrutar del GRAN SHOW, hice bastantes...
Espero que os gusten, y no os olvidéis de pinchar en ellas para verlas hipergrandes!
El concierto fantástico, ellos guapísimos y nosotras disfrutamos como enanas, aunque hubo "tormentas" en el viaje, al menos al final, hubo claros que me dejaron disfrutar de London, lástima no haber podido disfrutarlo juntas.
Pero en la próxima quedada acabaréis hartas de Menchu and Nieves.. xD

La primera crítica de The Circus
Take That receive coveted award
Pop survivors Take That have won their second coveted Silver Clef award, recognising an 18-year chart career.
The former boyband first received the prize in 1995, mere months before Robbie Williams quit.
On that occasion, so many fans packed the entrance to the Intercontinental Hotel in London that the group had to be ushered in through a side entrance.
They have now eclipsed the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones, who have only received the prize once.
The trophy is awarded each year to raise funds for music therapy charity Nordoff-Robins.
Brian Wilson was named best international act
Gary Barlow announced that he and his bandmates would donate £50,000 to the cause.
The group, who were en route to Wembley Stadium, were given their award by Lulu, who previously duetted with them on Relight My Fire.
Initially, Claire Sweeney had taken to the stage to present the trophy - but had to sit down again when Lulu arrived.
Laughing off the mix-up, Barlow said: "They messed that up, didn't they?"

Fans to Take That and party... again
TAKE THAT have promised they'll be tour again soon.
The fab four brought the curtain down on their stunning The Circus extravaganza at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, after 20 dates across the UK.
But during the gig, an emotional Gary, Howard, Jason and Mark admitted they were sad it was ending and could not wait to get back on the road.
A teary-eyed Gary told fans: "We've been all over the country, and we love you so much.
"Thank you so much and I hope it is not too long before we're back."
Howard added: "Sorry, we're a bit emotional tonight but we can't wait to tour again."
And a choked-up Jason spoke for the group when he said of the Play.com-sponsored tour: "We've had a brilliant time. Look at us, we're licking Wembley. Us, four local lads from Manchester."
But it was not all fun at The Circus for thousands of fans after travel chaos left them stranded in the stadium's car-parks and roads nearby for hours after the gig.
More than 90,000 people had watched the final show but with one London tube line suspended and another running only a limited service, many had arrived in their cars.
It led to gridlock after the two-hour performance with one frustrated driver saying: "It was a brilliant night but we've been stuck here in the car-park for nearly two hours and just not moved at all.
"There's people here with young kids and it's ridiculous to leave us like this."

No solo plans for Howard Donald
Howard Donald has no plans to become a solo artist. The Take That singer said he knows he could never compete with the success of the band. He told 'New!' magazine: "When the band split last time, I did record a solo album, but it's not really my vibe. Could my solo work compete with us as a band? I don't think so." Howard recently admitted he would find it difficult to cope if Take That were to split at the end of their sold-out UK stadium tour, which finished on Sunday night. But lead singer Gary Barlow revealed the group have no plans to quit and are focused on cracking the lucrative US market.

The Circus Live: Manchester - Parte III
El día siguiente del concierto decidimos hacer un poco de turismo el Liverpool... ¡pero no os preocupéis, no os voy a aburrir con eso! Aquí vamos a lo que vamos xD
El caso es que nos enteramos de que los chicos se volverían en tren a Londres, contra todo pronóstico; y dado que nosotras también íbamos a salir de viaje, llegamos a la estación un poco antes por si nos encontrábamos con alguien...
Echamos un vistazo a la estación especulando por dónde podrían entrar, miramos las pantallas de salidas y esperamos. Esperamos un buen rato, ya casi sin esperanza, hasta que... ¡bingo! ¡Un sombrero gris junto a un señor negro inmenso asoma sobre el estand de información! ¡Es Mark!
Nos levantamos del asiento, nos acercamos disimuladamente a las pantallas de información donde estaba él y... ¿dónde ha ido? Ah, está en el kiosko... don't panic. Mientras tanto, nos quedamos junto a las pantallas pensando qué hacer. Parece que no hay más fans que supieran lo de la estación y no queremos que Mark sepa que nosotras estábamos ahí premeditadamente. Por lo tanto, nada de cámara a mano ni autógrafos. Quizá un saludo y ya está. De frente veo salir a Mark del kiosko... ¡qué guapo! Lleva el sombrero gris, gafas de sol y una camiseta de tirantes beis con estrellas, un look muy veraniego. Se acerca hasta pasar junto a nosotras y nos quedamos mirándole con una sonrisa, sin decir nada. Él también nos vio a nosotras. Justo después se le acerca una chica para saludarle y parece que pedirle una foto (¡y va le toca!), pero Mark hace un gesto para decirle que no. Entonces vemos junto a los andenes a Emma con Elwood en brazos y los tres, con el guardaespaldas, se van hacia su tren :)
No hay documentos gráficos de esto porque como he dicho, no queríamos dar la nota delante de él, y cuando me atreví a sacar la cámara para hacerle una foto desde lejos cuando se iba hacia el tren... la cámara estaba en modo nieve (no me preguntéis por qué ni qué tiene de especial) y mi pulso tampoco ayudó.
Y con esto, terminó la etapa mancuniana.
Próxima parada: ¡Londres y con Blog for Good al completo!
The Circus Live: Manchester - Parte II
Según salíamos de la estación encontramos la publicidad del patrocinador: ¡Durex! Y nos tuvimos que hacer fotos, por supuesto xD
The Circus Live: Manchester - Parte I
La primera parada de nuestro breve pero intenso tour fue Manchester. Todo empezó el 27 de junio, aunque llegamos por separado: Jessi desde Madrid con Bea, y yo desde Londres. Yo llegué primero alrededor de las 13:30h., y tras 5,5 horas de viaje en autobús, tenía 3 opciones:
a) Ir al hostal a descansar.
b) Ir al hostal a dejar la maleta y después ir a ver a los chicos salir del hoTTel de camino al concierto, si es que me daba tiempo.
c) Ir al hoTTel directamente con maleta y todo.
Opción correcta: C
Y así, con maleta y mapa en mano, llegué al hoTTel. Ya se veía a la gente en la puerta antes de doblar la esquina... ¡creo que no iba a estar sola! xD Y evidentemente no lo estaba. Aquello estaba plagado de fans (mayoría italiana), curiosos y paparazzis. Y tras una hora de espera, por fin cruzaron las puertas.
El primero fue Mark, que no iba solo, ¡sino con Elwood en brazos! Elwood rubísimo y abrazado al cuello de Mark, que le decía: "Hold on to daddy".
El siguiente fue Gary y su chándal xD
Y por último, Howard, ¡que no pudo escapar de las fans cuando se abalanzaron sobre él!
¿Y Jason? Ni idea... lo siento por las chicas Orange.
Y después de este aperitivo del tour, al hostal a descansar y disfrutar del buen tiempo mientras llegaban Jessi y Bea.
Por fin llegaron (add música de reencuentro), aunque a la estación que no era y en pleno diluvio (y si no que os lo digan las que estuvieron en el concierto de ese día), y fuimos al hostal a cambiarnos y dimos un paseo hasta el hoTTel para ver llegar a los chicos después del concierto.
Aquella vez no tuvimos tanta suerte como por la mañana, ya que casi nos equivocamos de puerta (por lo visto tenemos un pequeño conflicto entre la izquierda y la derecha), había bastante ímbecil suelto, y cuando la furgoneta llegó, vimos poco más que cuatro albornoces corriendo hacia la puerta de atrás.
Entonces, hicimos lo mejor que podíamos hacer en aquel momento: irnos a descansar para el concierto del día siguiente, nuestro primer concierto de The Circus Live. Ni en sueños hubiéramos imaginado lo que nos esperaba...
A Message From Take That
To everyone who saw us on tour…
Well, what can we say? We’ve just come to the end of some of the most incredible weeks of our lives. The tour was an even more amazing event for us than we could have possibly hoped, and a very big part of that is down to the wonderful audiences we had each night.
Thank you so, so much for all your continued support. We feel hugely privileged to have such brilliant fans and we hope you enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed performing for you.
With all our very best wishes
Mark, Gary, Jason & Howard

foTTos foTTos foTTos
Apiadaros de las que no llevábamos cámara y subidlas,
¡por el amor de ------------(add your favourite tt name here)!
Grandes momenTTos Londinenses
De tour, pero tambien Londoneando. No han faltado las anécdotas y yo venía muerta de risa recordando grandes momentos del viaje.
Creo que encabeza la lista el momento Sagui y su "¿Becauuuuuse...Becauuuuse?"
hahahahahhahaaa
I miss you SO MUCH, girls!
"There's no more"
Nunca pensé que un entrada para "el circo" pudiera dar tanto de sí.
Ha sido un gran tour; breve pero intenso. Y es que no todos los tours pueden durar meses y meses. Este ha sido más breve pero, sí podemos decir, que más bonito.
En Manchester nos quedamos literalmente con la boca abierta antes el espectáculo que han preparado para The Circus Live.
Y en Londres pudimos disfrutar aún más con todas las que descubrían el show por primera vez.
Y puedo decir que es emocionante ver la cara de tus amigas cuando cantan The Garden. Probablemente uno de los mejores momentos del concierto, si no el mejor.
De Madrid a Manchester, de Manchester a ¿Liverpool? NO. A la estación a despedir a Mark. (Emma guapísima, Elwood... ¡rubísimo!) y Mark.. no atinamos a hacer una foto, con eso digo todo. XD
De la estación a Liverpool, de Liverpool a Londres.
Y en Londres:
¡Blog for Good al completo! Que ya iba siendo hora...
Han sido unos días muy divertidos, de muchas risas, mucha emoción, muchas anécdotas y muchas fotos. (megaupload,rules!)
La crónica del concierto, about to come, lo que tardemos en deshacer la maleta, y recuperarnos de estos días de tour.
En serio, ¿hoy no hay tour?
¿Hoy no hay concierto?

Greetings from Manchester!
Hello!!
Aquí en vivo y en directo desde la estación de picadilly de manchester.
El concierto de ayer fue impresionante! Nos quedamos literalmente con la boca abierta... :O
Lo pasamos bastante mal en la pista mientras esperábamos, pero en cuanto empezó el espectáculo se nos pasaron todos los males.
Tenemos muchas ganas de que lleguéis para verlo otra vez todas juntas, vais a flipar!
Ellos están guapisimos! Conseguimos verles llegar al hotel después del concierto del sábado, pero fue muy fugaz... Y esta mañana hemos visto a mark cuando se iba a Londres con emma y elwood :)
Chicas, nos vemos en nada!

Remember: Take That on tour IV
A escasos dos días para que dos de nuestras chicas descubran "el mejor circo del mundo" y a una semana de que lo disfrutemos todas juntas, os dejo con la última edición de este especial dedicado a lo mejor de Take That, sus directos.
En esta ocasión recordamos los que son sin duda los mayores himnos de la banda, "Back for good" y "Never forget"
Probablemente los próximos videos que subamos al blog serán de la gira "The circus" y por fin podremos decir "Nosotras estuvimos allí"

"Take That & friends" at Royal Albert Hall
GARY BARLOW has great form when it comes to organising live shows
TAKE THAT’s ongoing Circus stadium tour is one of the greatest spectacles I’ve seen in an outdoor arena.
So I am delighted to report that the Rule The World chart-topper is plotting a one-off extravaganza at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
And he’s roping in some top-notch talent to make it go with a bang. CHRIS MARTIN and LEONA LEWIS have signed up for the show, which will be in October. Gaz and his band mates will do a turn too.
And best pal PETER KAY has agreed to compere the event.
All the profits will go to Children In Need, a cause close to Gaz’s heart.
Last year the dad of three trekked up Mount Kilimanjaro alongside ALESHA DIXON, CHERYL COLE and other celebs to raise cash for Comic Relief.
A source told me: “Gary has really been bitten by the fundraising bug. He was amazed by people’s generosity during his Kili climb.
"As soon as he got off the mountain he made the decision to lend his support to more charities.
“Children In Need bosses have discussed a number of ideas with him but Gary thought it would be a good idea if he could put his musical skills to their best use.
“He knows a lot of people and is widely respected so putting together a star bill has been plain-sailing.
“Take That are going to perform and there will be a whole host of surprises throughout the evening. It’s shaping up to be a very special night.”
The show will be filmed and released on DVD late this year.
It’s interesting timing. A certain former band mate of Gary’s will begin his comeback around then.
ROBBIE WILLIAMS’ new album is expected in early 2010, if he gets back from his fun and games in the Bahamas in time.
And a star turn at Gary’s gig would be just the thing to get his juices flowing.

Gary terrified of ballet pumps
Celebrities are delicate creatures, often prone to peculiar phobias - but the one with the weirdest fear of all is Take That's Gary Barlow.
While Madonna is freaked out by storms, Heidi Klum is plane terrified of flying, Orlando Bloom has a pig phobia and Rupert Grint is scared of spiders, Gary has a thing about... ballet pumps.
Yes, at 37 years of age Gary has developed an unhealthy aversion to the flat footwear - and banned people from wearing them backstage during the band's Circus tour.
He saw one performer wandering around in the pumps - Amy Winehouse's shoe of choice - and put his foot down.
Says our mole: "Gary can't stand the sight of ballet pumps. It may sound odd but he cannot bear them.
"He thinks they're incredibly unflattering. In his eyes, even the most attractive woman in the world would be pug ugly if she was wearing pumps.
"At one of their recent after-show parties, a dancer was kicking back in some pastel ballet pumps, and Gary had to leave the room.
"His wife Dawn owns a pair and Gary jokes that he'll divorce her if she buys any more. And he can't be seen with her when she does wear them.
"All 230-odd cast and crew have been told to stick to trainers or heels when not on stage.
"The other lads find it hilarious and keep taking the mick, but Gary is adamant: dump the pump."
And he isn't the only member of Take That who likes things just so backstage.
The manband - currently in Cardiff on the Welsh leg of their sell-out tour - have a masseuse to ease any aches and pains, and soothing ice baths on tap. They also insist on herbal supplements and throat lozenges to keep their voices in fine tune.
Still, all the pampering is clearly working. Their critically-acclaimed £10million UK stadium dates have even put Britney's ongoing tour of the same name, to shame.

Future's not Orange
TAKE THAT may be better second time around - but JASON ORANGE is still very much stuck in the Nineties.
So much so that GARY BARLOW even tried to step in and stop him from purchasing an old-fashioned piece of music equipment.
Gary said: "I caught Jason trying to buy a CD Walkman.
"I said, 'Jay, what are you doing? I'll get you an iPod.'"
But Jason was having none of it.
He explained: "I like the CD Walkmans. I'm a bit old fashioned like that.
"And I still even have lots of old cassette tapes."
It seems the future's not Orange after all.

"Siga al Caravelle azul"
‘The Caravelle is stylish, comfortable and safe,’ said Barlow at the time.
Any room for Rob?

Take That fancy a crack Hollywood
Take That are telling us that they now fancy a crack at Hollywood - in an Ocean's 11-style movie.
Well into their sell-out Circus tour, they even went to a recent crew party dressed as the stars of the film.
Jason said: "I was Brad Pitt, Howard was George Clooney and Mark was Matt Damon."
Bless Gary.
Though he's lost weight, he joked: "I was James Corden."
And, just to prove they don't mind if the joke's on them, Jason tells Time Out: "We've another film on the go - called Reservoir Dicks."

Armed robbery cops quiz Robbie

ROBBIE Williams is being quizzed by police probing an armed robbery carried out by three thugs.
The cops want to see if Robbie, 35, can help them discover if there is any link between the raid and photos taken of the star smoking a large roll-up cigarette in the Bahamas.
A public row erupted between Robbie’s group and two snappers, who were later robbed at gunpoint by bandits who took their cameras and cash.
Hours after the angry confrontation, British photographer Matt Sanchez and American Carlos Mendez were robbed at gunpoint in their beach cottage.
Three thugs smashed their way in at 3am, held a pistol to Mendez's head and threatened to kill the pair. They made off with £15,000-worth of cameras, clothes, travel documents and cash.

£500,000 ticket con on eBay
THOUSANDS of eBay users were conned out of 」500,000 in the online site's biggest fraud.
At least 3,000 people bought concert and sports event tickets from a seller trading as M-T Promotions. But the tickets never arrived.
And MT - who called himself Martin Thorne - emailed frustrated buyers saying his eBay account had been frozen because of a dispute with payment facility PayPal.
He insisted buyers had to recoup their cash from eBay. Victims reported weeks of "wrangling" with the auction site.
One buyer, Chris Trickett from Halifax, paid 」135 for two Take That tickets. He said: "I am annoyed that eBay gave this guy powerseller status. That is why he got away with scamming so many people.
"It's been a nightmare."
Last night eBay said cops had been called in to investigate the scam and promised to reimburse all those affected.
A spokesman said a "holding payment" system was being considered to prevent future scams.

SOS: Buscamos entradas
No se puede tener tanta suerte...
Si en el tour pasado compramos unas entradas en eBay que estaban a mitad de pista y separadas, y al final acabamos viendo el concierto juntas en 2ª fila... este año tocaba comprar entradas en eBay para el último concierto de la gira y no recibirlas :(
La historia es un poco larga, pero si todo va bien eBay nos devolverá el dinero (crossing fingers). Lo malo es que nos quedamos sin nuestras tres entradas para el 5 de julio.
Hago un llamamiento para que alguien que tenga entradas de sobra para el 5 de julio, nos las venda. Si hay alguien que las tenga y no sabe qué hacer con ellas, que por favor nos escriba a blogforgood@yahoo.es
Thanks!

Take That: "We are not splitting"
TAKE That WILL make a new album after their tremendous Circus Live shows come to a climax.
Despite rumours of solo projects, the band are committed to continuing their all-conquering pop rule as a foursome.
And in the latest move, the lads' stunning new single Said it All is out this week.
Gary Barlow confirmed to me: "We will take a break after the tour then start writing again for the next album in autumn. It would be stupid to stop now wouldn't it? I'm feeling so vibed up. I haven't started writing yet, but we've got ideas."
The humongous stadium shows are the most elaborate the manband have put on.
Yet they're fi nding bigger is most definitely better. Gary, pictured above right on stage, continued: "This is the most relaxed tour we've ever done because of how the dates fall.
"We usually do something like 10 nights back to back. But it is more spaced out, which is nice."
As well as cooking up new songs, Gary is also considering adding to the Barlow household.
His wife Dawn, 39, gave birth to daughter Daisy in January.
And the 38-year-old revealed: "Dawn wants to have another baby.
"I'm happy with three but what the woman wants, the woman usually gets. The first two are a bit older now and take care of themselves, but Dawn is really enjoying Daisy."
Eight-year-old Daniel, and six-year-old Emily will pop along to see dad Gary in action on the live tour whenever they can.
As Gary explained: "We can't take them out of school as we get told off."
