Simon Cowell's Take That regret

Gary Barlow says Simon Cowell is "gutted" he didn't sign Take That.




The 38-year-old singer denied reports the music mogul told the British group - comprising at the time Gary, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange - to "sack the fat one" if they wanted to work with him.





Gary, who has battled weight problems in the past, said: "No, Simon didn't say that. I can see it's a great story and he gets quoted saying it but I've asked him and it's not true. He pointed us towards RCA. And you know what? I think he's gutted he did that."




The singer has also opened up about the demise of the band in the 90s, revealing he was so hurt by negative comments he hated telling people who he was.




Gary - who has enjoyed chart success since the band reformed in 2005 minus Robbie - added to Q magazine: "I was really embarrassed to use my credit card over the phone because when I said 'Gary Barlow' people would just laugh or sneer. Not a good experience at all."

Lea, i didn't get the whole idea about the bitterness and what had happened as Gary told here...
Can you rephrase in plain English (i hope that that is my problem and not comprehansion difficulties, PMSL!!)

Are you talking about "sack the fat one " Jen ?? If so I think it means that Simon would have signed them if they had gotten rid of Gary !!! Simon is an idiot and he prob did say it.Why would he admit to Gaz that he said it !! he would be too gutless.Poor Gaz,how many articles do we have to read that say "Gary ,who used to have a weight problem" grrrrr

yeah, that bit, and the part with Gary being embarrassed to give his own name over the phone, when was that.. i mean,i don't get it. am i that stupid-o?
Thanks for rephrasing first bit though, it does make sense

Don't say that you are not stupid !! That article isn't written very well it is hard to follow.I think the credit card part means you know when the whole Robbie/Gary thing was happening and then some people started to get really down on Gaz and make fun of him.I think he means when he would tell people over the phone who he was they would laugh and snigger like he was a loser or something.

Still breaks my heart aswell!! I just ain't got words for it anymore.
I saw this interview from friday night is allright from back in 1999, where even Gary kept joking about it all but you could clearly see he did care.
the presenter then said things like 'dont sell yourself short mate, all that media have unloaded so much on ya, you're thinking negative but ppl are glad to see ya. Do your thing my friend!!' I loved that interview, you could clearly see how Gary was idd affected by all the bad media. Might be dumb now, but I still cry when I see that interview, thinking of the way he was told off by RCA and all them other ppl.

only 3 things to say....

1- THAT SIMON COWELL IS IDIOT !!!!!!! if Gary tell me to go work with him I GO without think !! he is 1 of the best songwriters and artis of the moment !!!

2 - Gary , why did you get embarrased ?? If he told me by phone....mail...or whatever.he is Gary Barlow....I get in shock...I donlt k now why he gets embarrased when he give his own name

3- "Gary ,who used to have a weight problem´´ WHO said that ??? ¬¬ what is more important ? he is a artis or his weight ???

poor....

There's such a big difference between Gary in TT and Gary solo... I'm not saying that he acts now, god forbids, bu he's less volnorable when with the other 3, and is being totally himself, when he's solo... that is when i melt inside and wish he would never ever be as sad, and bite his lower lip like that ever again, regardless to how handsome he is when he soes that.
