sweetpromise Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Gareth is so popular it is no surprise that there will be story's written about him. CBBC Prom In The Park was held on the 15th of September 2002 in Hyde Park, London. I know Gareth is a living dream but this is no fairy tale. Here is a true story I hope you will enjoy. This is a true story and was taken from http://www.brenteck.com/gareth “A Glimpse of Gareth” By no stretch of my imagination did I expect to be enchanted by Mr. Gates. But there I was in Hyde Park clutching my concert ticket as if it were pure gold. What on earth has gotten into me? I’ve always been a sensible women, no longer a naive young girl filled with ‘flights of fancy.’ Then why was I so captivated by this boy called Gareth. I made a silent vow to behave in a mature, ladylike manner and not allow myself to be swept away on a wave of passion and emotion just because Mr. Pop Perfection was standing a mere few feet in front of me. Yet, excitement tingled in me. I chided myself for being ridiculous, but his charms broke right through my defences. I have seen pictures of Gareth but I was not prepared for the heart stopping reality of him in the flesh. All natural, and up close, his very presence could flood your mind with romantic notions. There is an irresistible magnetism about him which can capture your heart and warm it with sweet dreams. I felt myself drawn to him despite my efforts to remain calm. But I desperately wanted to recognise the boy rather then the “Pop Idol” To acknowledge the person behind the image. Strip away all the glamour & glitter of the great stage and see Gareth for what he really is. On the surface Gareth is interesting, likable and attractive, however the hype and facade of the media dramatically camouflages the person within. I see virtues in him that do not exist in others. I admire his strength of character. I appreciate his keen intellect. Gareth possesses an inner goodness, and it’s this inner goodness which shines out through his face and makes him beautiful. A glimpse is not enough, there is much more than what meets the eye. Look beneath the surface like I have. You will love what you see.

Val4Gareth Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 What a beautiful story, Sweetpromise. It is the inner strength and beauty of Gareth I think that attracts us all to him. He is such an inspiration and once you are hooked I think you'd find it very difficult to break free of him. Not that I ever want to. I love him to bits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wondered if you were out there and if you'd join in. I'm thrilled that you have joined in with us, and your article is very well written and insightful.

sweetpromise Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Did you make it to any of the tours or any other concerts? If so, I'd love to hear your reviews. You have a great way with words. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thankyou, yes, I had the pleasure of attending several tours and concerts. Some of which are: "Party in the Park" in aid of the Princes Trust on the 6th of July 2003. "Christmas in Popworld" on the 2nd of December 2003. My favorite was the performance at Wembly on March 6th 2004 "Go Your Own Way Tour" I was in Block A Row 11. I must say that Gareth Gates is a credit to himself and the music industry. His singing voice was superb and his efforts to improve his speech have done him proud. His body language was positive and there is a confident, professional, yet friendly feel to his performances. Gareth still knows how to weave a magic spell over his audience; he surrounds us in a circle of love. I felt elated in his company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethsmelody Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thank you for posting this on here. I remember reading it a while back on ggates boards. You write so well, I find it hard to find the words. I have to agree just one of the many things that I find atractive about Gareth is his inner beauty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpromise Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thank you for posting this on here. I remember reading it a while back on ggates boards. Hello Gareths Melody, may I ask both you and Snowdrop when and for how long was my story posted on ggates boards as I myself have not posted it on that praticular website. I had experienced problems and repeated failures with loging on, consequently I eventually gave up. The story was originally viewed on GarethGatesWorld via an e-mail from The Saturday Show thanking me for my interest in the site. The administrator was a young gentlemen named Daniel. He was pleased to include my story on 'come and live gareth' and there it remained. Obviously some one thought well enough about my story to take the time and trouble to cut and past it onto the ggates borads. Whom ever it was may I say thankyou. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I thought you might like to know Val, that your beautiful story has been resurrected on ggates. Its in s54 in a thread called `A Glimpse of Gareth' if you want to have a look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
