Thanks for the link Heather. No comparison for me. Gareth's version is a 1000 times better than Kavana. Don't really like his voice at all and hardly any emotion in it for me.

Obviously they're keeping the best till last. Watched two hours for about 1 minute of 5th Story. Should be good next week though.

Gareth & Brianne did a Spread-eagle masterclass. Hilarious. http://www.itv.com/dancingonice/masterclass/mini-masterclass-spread-eagle

Blue One Love This year’s cast include: Eternal (Easther Bennett, Vernie Bennett, Kelle Bryan) were one of the biggest girl bands in the nineties and dominated the charts with a host of top ten singles and three top ten albums. ‘Power of a Woman’ and ‘I Wanna Be The Only One’ became anthems of the nineties but the girls were dogged by rumours of in-band spats, two members left leaving sisters Easther and Vernieto carry on until dropped by their label in 2000. A1 (Ben Adams, ChristianIngebrigtsen, Mark Read) were formed in 1998 and were soon selling out arenas around the world and winning a BRIT award for Best British Newcomers but a fatal accident involving fans at one of their concerts was the catalyst to their split. Damage (Jade Jones, AndrezHarriott, Rahsaan J Bromfield, Noel Simpson, Coree Richards). A blend of catchy pop songs mixed with R&B set this band apart from the traditional boybands. The success of their debut album and a high profile relationship with a Spice Girl saw them become household names but management fallouts and crippling debt left a bitter taste for these former pin ups. Girl Thing (Jodi Albert, Linzi Martin, AnikaBostekaar, Michelle Barber, Nikki Stuart) were destined for big things. Signed by Simon Cowell they embarked on a mammoth promotional tour which saw them grace the covers of national magazines and interviewed on every TV talk show, but after just two singles they were unceremoniously dropped and saw their supposed third single ‘Pure and Simple’ head into the record books with another band. 3T (Taj, TJ, Tayll Jackson) come from a music dynasty and just like their famous father, uncles and aunty, they began performing at young ages but the path to fame has come at a price for the three brothers. The platinum-selling artists had to deal with personal tragedies, whilst their careers suffered as their family members were plagued by allegations and negative news stories. 5th Story (Gareth Gates, Dane Bowers, Adam Rickitt, Kavana, Kenzie) have achieved global success as solo artists or members of other groups. Combined they have had 27 top ten hits including five number ones, have won, Mobo, Smash Hits and MTV awards and performed sell out concerts around the world.

Gareth's Wham routine is now on the ITV PLayer http://www.itv.com/dancingonice/highlights/gareth-and-brianne-week-6

And from The Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2555380/Dancing-On-Ice-Gareth-Gates-skates-leave-big-skate-battle-against-Sam-Attwater.html Dancing On Ice: Gareth Gates has to get his skates on and leave the show after a big skate-off battle against Sam Attwater Read more: For Dancing On Ice's 1984-themed show it was former EastEnders star Sam Attwater and singer Gareth Gates who had to face each other off in the skate-off during the results show after viewers put them in the bottom two. In the end it was Gareth Gates whose routine wasn't considered beautiful enough with the judges with all four electing to bring Sam back next week. Also going home safe to skate another week in the show were Kyran Bracken, Ray Quinn (who scored the highest score from the judges on the night with 39.5 out of 40), Hayley Bracken, Beth Tweddle and Suzanne Shaw. +12 Going home: Gareth had to get his skates on and leave the show Gareth and skating partner Brianne had to leave Dancing On Ice on Sunday night Gareth (left) and Sam (right) went head to head in the skate-off after their 80s routines earlier in the show Up first were Sam Attwater and partner Vicky Ogden for a 'Save Me Skate' with a Dream Catch Me routine to the 2007 top ten song from Faulkner. With Sam in a suit and Vicky in a bright pink skater's costume they performed with plenty of movement and colour, not to mention real chemistry on the ice. 'I gave that everything,' Sam told host Phillip Schofield. Vicky added: 'this one was perfect - good timing'. Jayne Torvill remarked it was nice to see the steps matching properly this time while Christopher Dean said it showed a lot of passion. +12 Lift-off: Gareth proved that he is a master of the ice too +12 Big swinger: Gareth gave it all his strength for his final number on ice +12 Not so Beautiful Day: Sam and Vicky had to say farewell to Gareth and Brianne Gareth and partner Brianne Delcourt chose to skate to U2's Beautiful Day number one hit from 2000. Wearing a white suit with a turquoise shirt that matched to Brianne's outfit perfectly the two showed plenty of great twists on the ice and also ended with a magic moment of looking to the heavens above. Gareth said afterwards: 'Oh Jesus, that was hard.' Brianne pointed out it was the best routine that they had done so far. Jayne and Christopher both told Gareth that he was skating better and better. +12 Rubik's cubes ahoy: Earlier in the night the theme was 1984 When it came to who they wanted to save for the series, judge Nicky saved Sam, judge Ashley decided to save Sam and judge Jason also decided to save Sam. Head judge Karen said that she was proud of them both but that she was also saving Sam, who will get to skate again next week. Gareth told Phillip: 'Never mind. It has been amazing' giving his skate partner Brianne a huge hug. Jayne added that she would miss Gareth, as would the show. +12 Final bow: Gareth and Brianne say thank you and farewell to Dancing On Ice Sorry i couldn't post all the pictures as it wouldn't let me.

Gareth Gates votes off after impressive Wham performance. From The Mirror George Michael-style blonde wig wasn't enough to save singer from the skate off Rex Wigging out: Gareth Gates lost the skate off to Sam Attwater Gareth Gates became the latest star voted off Dancing on Ice tonight, losing a skate off to Sam Attwater. All four judges chose to save EastEnders actor Sam, despite Gareth's Beautiful Day routine - alongside professional partner Brianne - showing plenty of improvement. Earlier in the show Gareth wore a George Michael-style blonde wig to wow with a performance set to Freedom by Wham! Judges Jason Gardiner and Karen Barber agreed that it had been his best showing of the series. “That was beautiful tonight,” added Ashley Roberts. "Gareth this was your best night by far and you can have your head held high," Jason told the singer.

I've listened to it now. Had to click on the Embed button and turn on the sound. Just one line repeated over and over, but their voiced blend together well don't they.

Here's a video of 5th Story singing together, but I can't get any sound on it. Anyone able to? @itv2 The lovely @WeAre5thStory boys want to say, or should we say sing something to you. We just melted... #BigReunion vine.co/v/Ma6HnmPr0MF

Yes, I thought that may be the reason. Also wondered if Gareth would maybe re-release Pictures at some stage with a couple more tracks added.

I nearly did that too Heather. Just stopped myself in time. I'm so glad they've put With You All The Time on there.

Best announcement yet. 12 years on from the inaugural series of Pop Idol, Gareth releases his Very Best of compilation, which includes his number one hits, fan favourites and a new acoustic session featuring three outstanding new self-penned songs, recorded this year. The Very Best of Gareth Gates is available to pre-order now:http://smarturl.it/VeryBestofGarethG Everyone remembers the ‘Will vs Gareth’ final of Pop Idol. But the reality was that there were two winners. Each won a recording contract and went on to have countless number ones and million selling singles. Gareth has since sold over 5.3 million records worldwide. Gareth’s version of ‘Unchained Melody’ went on to become the 3rd best selling single of the noughties, and sits within the top 50 biggest selling UK singles of all time. ‘Anyone Of Us’ was a hit across Europe, Asia and Australia. ‘Spirit In The Sky saw him join forces with The Kumars, raise money for Comic Relief and have a number one single to boot. After a break from TV to fulfil his West End dreams (Gareth starred in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Misérables and Legally Blonde, amongst others), 2014 sees Gareth busier than ever. Not only is he appearing in the final Dancing On Ice series (the ‘All-Stars’ series, which sees the return of past winners and favourites) but also filming for Series 2 of The Big Reunion as part of the band 5th Story. Gareth said: “I’ve had a great time in theatre over the past 5 years and I definitely want to do more! But I’ve also missed being a popstar if I’m honest. The Very Best Of is a brilliant way to celebrate the past and show what I’m capable of now, with the acoustic sessions. I’m really proud of all these songs and I hope they really show how I’ve grown as an artist.” Tracklisting 1. Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake) 2. Unchained Melody 3. Spirit In The Sky 4. The Long And Winding Road (Will Young & Gareth Gates) 5. Suspicious Minds 6. What My Heart Wants To Say 7. Sunshine 8. Say It Isn’t So 9. Sentimental 10. With You All The Time 11.
