Oasis is dull says Take That

London - Take That has taken a swipe at Oasis saying they just "stand around and sing".
The former boy band - whose new album Circus will be released on December 1 - insist their rival stadium tour next year will be more exciting than the rockers' basic show.
Both tours include dates at London's Wembley Stadium and in Manchester, where both bands are from.
"There's a totally different energy to the two shows. We're all about the spectacle, putting on an amazing show for the fans, with lots of high energy and dancing," member Howard Donald said.
"Oasis is great - if you just want to see a band stand still and sing. They have a different kind of energy."
Coming home
"It's like all the boys coming home," Howard's band mate Mark Owen added.
"I really want to go and see Oasis, but if finances make people choose one or the other, then come and see us."
Mark, who comprises Take That along with Howard, Gary Barlow and Jason Orange, also revealed plans to get in touch with American Idol judge Simon Cowell to see if he could recommend any promising acts from his UK TV show Britain's Got Talent.
"The album's called Circus, but we don't want the animal rights outside trying to shut us down. Maybe we'll be able to get a dog and a cat. We need to phone Simon Cowell," he said. - Bang Showbiz.com
