Unlike Lily Allen, who only had kind things to say about Britney Spears‘ London stop over, the boys from Take That took some nasty digs at the pop princess through the UK press.
In regards to Britney ‘mimeing’ on X Factor, the band’s Gary Barlow said, ├óΓé¼┼ôI don├óΓé¼Γäót see the point of Britney anymore, she was rubbish on the show. I think she├óΓé¼Γäós more famous than she deserves to be now…Why come on a show like that and mime? I don├óΓé¼Γäót like her new song either. Her old stuff was great but maybe she should have spent more time on this one.├óΓé¼┬¥
One of the other guys, Howard Donald, was a little bit nicer. He said, “The truth is all the contestants on X Factor are so talented and were able to sing and dance live, so why couldn├óΓé¼Γäót Britney do it? It├óΓé¼Γäós the whole point of the show and her miming looked stupid. It├óΓé¼Γäós not that she can├óΓé¼Γäót do it, Britney is really talented and can sing ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ I just don├óΓé¼Γäót think she understood the show. I think probably she was made to do it as a promotional opportunity in England. Britney is unlikely to have had a lot of say in it. The contestants did a better job than her. I├óΓé¼Γäóm glad she├óΓé¼Γäós back but X Factor wasn├óΓé¼Γäót right for her.├óΓé¼┬¥
Maybe the Take That boys probably can’t get over the fact that Britney’s latest release in the UK is named Circus, just like theirs, and that both new albums came out on the same day.
But, Take That kicked Brit’s butt in first day sales.
Britney, however, is an international superstar. Take That, on the other hand…..
