eternal Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have heard about this event, with a songwriter being asked to write a song for Gareth and a(the) song ended up with Will but here is the background to how it all happened. DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO HEAD BACK INTO THE WILL/GARETH DEBATE (as this makes for dissapointing reading) For those wanting to: Read Here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I actually read that before, shame he did not come up with a good x-mas song for Gareth. But then Gareth did have a good x-mas song (x-mas to remember), but of course in their 'wisdom' it was not released, Figure!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yes, I've heard that before too. Like it said in the article `just luck'. Just luck that Simon Fuller was more intent on making Will a star rather than Gareth, yet they were both on the same label at the time. I'm positive Gareth would have sung it with more feeling and emotion that Will ever did. That's the end of my returning to the Will/Gareth story but it has always rankled with me that Gareth didn't get that song to sing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Have to say I was never keen on the song and thought in my opinion the song was more suited to Will than it was to Gareth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 The thing that struck me most about this article was how not only one song can change your career but how appearing on one TV show and 'charming' people can have such an influence too. However we are able to still go to venues and hear Gareth sing. That's the brilliant news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
