i just watched robbie's documentary tonight on making his new album, i must say i like some of his past hits, but this new album is terrible no dissrespect to the guy i think he's backed a wrong horse with tin tin duffy lol.
The only thing I like of his is the Swing When You're Winning...and that's mainly because John Lovitz sings with him..and..Nicole Kidman.
The DVD of his performance at the Royal Albert Hall was gear too.

I watched that as well. Can't say I was too excited about the music. He still comes across as an arrogant wanker but that's his way isn't it.
Still think he's the best showman since Freddie though.

Bet ya. when Live 8 comes out on DVD in November, and people see and hear how damn talented he is when he has good song material to work with and perform, they will realize how talented he is.
BTW, I am on the Live 8 mailing list and they send me LEGAL video/audio advance clips of Live 8 in newsletters to promote the DVD, and it;s amazing how great that whole show was, especially, U2, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Richard Ashcroft, Madonna, and....
....Robbie Williams. They also sent me one of ''behind the scenes'' footage of Robbie Williams rehearsing early in ther day for Live 8. Really excellent stuff.

Then I went and listened to his entire back catalogue and watched all his videos on his website, and was still pleasantly surprised.
Just when I thought he was a decent (NOTE I am NOT saying GREAT, or big time talented, but for what he does, pop, melodic and decent, entertaining, tuneful) singer.
But...this NEW album and BOTH its songs and videos are CRAP!
He needs to hook back up with songwriter Guy Chambers, and stop with the bizarro world Dali type videos as well[/QUOTE]
Robbie williams is full of shite end of, hes such a show off and takes the micky out of gays, did you see him in live 8 when he started talking gayish to two hundred thousand or more peeps that wasnt funny or being clever that was just sick and upsettin to see, hes no good and im glad Brian and Roger never choose him to sing in there 2005 tour or he would shite everything up and make Brian and Roger look like cowards, Robbie drop the hard act, your nothing to the REAL TALENTED SINGERS![/QUOTE]
Sick and upsetting?? The guy is a born entertainer. The guy has talent. And he has proven that on many occasions. You never heard a RW album in your life. You never attended a concert, you just base all your crap on that one Live8 performance (which was the best of the day, oh well). I think there would be more audience participationif RW would've joined the band for a tour. How many times didn't Freddie sing out of tune or act like a retard? At least he loved what he did and the people love what he did. So i don't really see a real argument in your little rant, other than just plain stupidity and ignorance. Get a life.

Good for you. *cheers* Is the rest of it better I hope?
I really love Robbie! *watches out for flying eggs*
The October 2005 issue of Classic Rock Magazine has a GREAT interview with Robbie's former
co-songwriter, Guy Chambers.
Guy speaks VERY fondly of Robbie's songwriting talent (and other talents as a a singer, etc) and from the way he alludes to things, I think he VERY much wants to team back up with and collaborate with Robbie.
Oh, to the poster who said Robbie sucked at Live 8...SUCK THIS!!!!!!!!!!
Robbie was AWESOME especially on ''Angels'' and ''Let Me Entertain You''. He had all of Hyde Park in the palm of his hand and was so ingratiating to the audience and is a GREAT live performer. The only thing I didn't like was when he covered Queen. But again, like I have always said, when he did his OWN songs/material, he was outstanding!

Robbie has said he will NOT sell this CD in the USA because he just cannot crack the USA market, but.....Tower Records had an IMPORT of the ''Intensive Care'' CD...for $45.
Too much moolah for me, but nice to know that if I ever have the money it is available as an import.
In the 11/04 Q Magazine, he says sarcastically, ...
...''The only way my album will get in an L.A. record store (and Robbie LIVES in Los Angeles), is if I leave it there myself.''...
The Novemnber 2005 issue of BRITISH GQ Magazine, which YES, you can get here in the USA at Barnes and Noble and Tower Records has an excellent in depth COVER STORY/Interview with Robbie discussing ''Intensive Care'', his career, his feelings about trying to crack the USA market,...
...(and now he sounds upset with and hurt by America just like Queen, in that he says that he has tried to crack the market here, and America just demands too much work and promotion, so why bother when he sells millions of records and sells out stadiums across Europe and other markets..I don't blame him)...
and his performance at Live 8...
.........and.........
........for all men of Queenzone!!!!!!!!...........
....the inside multi page photo spread is Robbie laying with FIVE NUDE WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

Robbie can't crack America because people over here don't get him. He acts like an ass when he performs. I remember seeing him on the Tonight Show and he was rubbing his butt again Simon Cowell, who was a guest on the show. Not the best introduction to the US. Hopefully he will never make it here because then I will not need to hear his crappy music on the radio.

Wurd.
Wurd.
One thing that pissed me off in another interview he does in Q Magazine, which pisses thwe reviewer off too, is in the song ''Ghosts'' he boasts something about ....
....''Here I stand Victorious, the only man to make you come''.
How FNG full of yourself can a man or a music artists be, even in their fictional lyrics? If ANY man sang that or said that to or about me or just in a random song, what a turnoff!
I like Robbie ALOT, but this is the kind of crap that makes fans and America and the press rag on him.
He 's WAY past arrogant! Geez!

Intensive Care is #1 in the U.K.!
IT'S NOT like here in America WE DON'T GET IT when it comes to idolizing a British heartrob.
George Michael matured a hell of a lot as an artist after he went solo and buried his own Wham! image. Robbie Williams on the other hand acts far more juvenile than he did on his 'Take That' days. George Michael was as big here in the States as he was across the pond, and the general public respected him, and his fan base wasn't only teens, young girls, middle aged women, and gay men.
There's no doubt of who has more talent between those 2.
