Former Take That teddy bear Mark Owen is due to release his album How The Mighty Fall this coming Monday. Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the radio, or to even keep your ears unblocked, the quirky Oldham entertainer returns.

This comes as dismal news to the people who thought that the recorded output of Robbie Williams was enough of a painful reminder of the shite boyband.

Owen has said that being dropped from the Universal label back in 2003 was the best thing that could ever have happened to him. hecklerspray disagrees. When a record label drops you, that means that all your songs are cack and nobody likes you. That's a bad thing, Mark.

The pint-sized dance enthusiast has revealed that he much prefers the way his personally guided career is going, saying “I found the drive to do it myself and write under my own label”.

After a meagre career spanning more than a decade, he has finally decided to go it alone. Completely alone. Terrifyingly alone. Just him. All by himself. Little Mark. On his own.

Surely an album by Michael Owen would sell more. However, the ex-Take That star refuses to give up on his dream of becoming some sort of guitar strumming Paul Simon wannabe.

Little Mark is now determined to prove people wrong once again with his music. Why won’t he just give up and try to salvage his image as it was? A bit-part former boyband entertainer with a cackling voice who leans towards making drastic reality show appearances.

What about a slot on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here? That did wonders for that dreadful All Saints woman.

Better yet, if you get him in the jungle, then just keep him there. As to avoid any further pollution of the airwaves.

How the mighty fall? Who is that meant to signify anyways? Surely, not yourself Mark?

hecklerspray is willing to overlook the Mark Owen comeback, on one condition.

Gary Barlow must not release a single note of music ever again.

I realise Take That wasn't everyone's cup of tea but they were one of the most successful boybands since The Beatles. Robbie Williams wage packet also proves that they couldn't have been that shite because he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his success in Take That. ()^

I partly agree with this comment I think Gary Barlow is a better song writer than he is singer and he is making a successful career of writing and producing songs for other artistes e.g. he wrote a song or two for Blue. {@}


I bought Mark's album "How The Mighty Fall" and maybe it's a biased opinion but I like it, his singing and song writing have matured a great deal. :D

Take That are becoming cool again; I'm serious, everytime I turn on the radio one of their songs is being played and Radio2 have such impeccable taste in music..

I was always much more of a Gary girl; and for some reason, I still can't get 100% into Robbie's songs. Hopefully, Marks stuff will be good, or better yet, reform Take That? Who's with me?

Only me then... ::lol::

Ultrawho?

~ducks the flying shoe~

The way I see it is that you gorw up in certain music 'fashions': mine was a bunch of blokes pretending to sing and dance about( also reference may be made to Let Loose and NKOTB) and thus admitting to all bad music is fine, because it is the era you grew up in.

So ultravox is fine: and Midge Ure is pretty cool.
Am I making sense?

I'm by no means knocking The Beatles here I think they were a great band but I've always said if The Beatles weren't around in the 60's and they formed now I'm sure they would be slagged to high heaven and classed as some manufactured pop band. :roll:

I liked Take That but I wouldn't want them to reform. I like to keep the memories where they are. ()^

You should listen to some of Mark's material, it's better than his earlier stuff Amaunet. :D
