A few songs later, as promised by Gary Barlow during our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/culture\/from-us-to-you\/interviews\/exclusive-interview-with-gary-barlow-of-take-that-153022.html\">phone interview earlier<\/a>, the band sang \u2018Pray\u2019. What followed immediately were hysterical screams from the fans and much laughter from\u00a0their choreographed dance moves. If any other bands performed something similar, it may have been classified as cheesy,\u00a0but not for\u00a0Take That.<\/p> <p>I had commented to a\u00a0friend earlier that <em>\u201c90% of the concert goers are above the age of 30!\u201d<\/em> That said, it was one civilised, mega karaoke concert, with friendly adults, whom many became teenagers again once their idols from yesteryears appeared on stage. I honestly could not remember a concert in Singapore, where almost all the fans were so enthusiastic.<\/p> <p>The loudest and wildest cheers were given to all their 90s hits such as <em>Relight My Fire<\/em>, <em>Could it be Magic<\/em>, <em>Back for Good<\/em> and a piano medley of <em>A Million Love Songs<\/em>, <em>Babe<\/em> and <em>How Deep is your Love<\/em>.\u00a0Howard ended a perfectly executed 90 minute-long concert with a crowd favourite \u2013 <em>Never Forget<\/em>. Yes, never forget your fans here in Singapore.<\/p> <p>The concert definitely reunited many of my friends, who remember skipping school and risking their exams for their concert back in 1995 - fond memories indeed.<\/p> <p>So Take That, we definitely want you <em>Back for Good<\/em>.<\/p> <p><em>Riley Leong<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Performing at the HSBC Women's Champions, Take That sure brought back some good ol' memories with their voices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":156480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","_is_translated":false,"_source_post_url":"","is_displayed_in_hp":false,"displayed_in_hp_after_update":false,"is_thumb_featured":false,"template_without_diapo":"","enable_bloc_resume":false,"bloc_resume_post":[],"ctc_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9791,16864,16428],"tags":[12063,268,12070,5302,1634255,6419,10339,28,12069],"class_list":["post-337464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-galerie","category-galerie-hk","category-music-hk","tag-band","tag-concert","tag-gary-barlow","tag-golf","tag-has_diapo","tag-hsbc","tag-music","tag-singapore","tag-take-that"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
