Take That Marks Live Return on ‘The X Factor’

An emotional-looking Robbie Williams joined his Take That mates live on stage for the first time in nearly 15 years on Sunday night's episode of The X Factor. The English pop fivesome performed "The Flood", the lead single from their long-awaited new album, Progress.

I think the five of them genuinely seemed excited to perform together, especially a beaming Mark Owen. With the standing ovation they received from the judges panel and the audience alike, it seems like the UK is glad to have Take That back around as well.

But according to The Daily Mail, a few Take That devotees weren't as thrilled with Williams' return. One user said their performance was "more about Robbie than Take That", while another remarked, "Does this feel like Robbie Williams [featuring] Take That to anyone else?"

Doesn't anyone live in the moment anymore? Jeesh!

What do you think of Take That's performance?
