Take That take pop at Britney

Howard Donald and Gary Barlow of Take That have taken a swipe at Britney Spears.

Take That have slammed Britney Spears’ recent X Factor appearance. “I don’t see the point of Britney anymore, she was rubbish on the show. I think she’s more famous than she deserves to be now,” Gary told the Mirror. “Why come on a show like that and mime? I don’t like her new song either. Her old stuff was great but maybe she should have spent more time on this one. But, I listen to more bands now anyway, like Kings of Leon and Coldplay. I don’t really listen to many pop acts.” Miaow. Band mate Howard Donald also got in on the act, “The truth is all the contestants on X Factor are so talented and were able to sing and dance live, so why couldn’t Britney do it?” He explained. “It’s the whole point of the show and her miming looked stupid.” Take That’s new album, Circus, looks set to top the album charts this week while another album titled Circus, by, oh, Britney Spears, was sitting at number three in the midweek charts.
