Nice try though.[/QUOTE]
A nice song? The guy wouldn't know a nice song if it punched his lights out! As a matter of fact, that is what Ì feel like doing![/QUOTE]
Thomas!! Watch it! I still have an arsenal of T-Rex Dinosaur eggs I feel like throwing!
Stop ragging on Robbie!
Keep it up and I'll force you to listen to Ashlee Simpson. Woops, sorry, I forgot, can't make you listen to her as she lip sinchs! LOL!

Robbie is cool. Plus if he does use any Queen material he has to pay
Robbie is a tragic person. The only illegitimate love child of Freddie Mercury to survive birth, he's doomed to strut the stages of the world, wanting desperately to follow in his father's footsteps. Sadly, however, he inherited only the meager vocal genes of his mother, Jim Hutton.
oh for gods sake get over yourselves guys. getting angry cos a song has the same title as one by queen? that is really pushing fandom to further limits.
and making personal attacks on the man is not nice. you do not know him. you do not know how good or otherwise he is. it is bang out of order.
now, whilst i would never personally buy any of robbie's releases, i respect the fact that she is a very good performer. there are a few things that i would not have done up on stage if it was me up there, like kissing that fan, but he knows how to get a crowd going.
he has never denied the fact that he is a big admirer of queen and freddie in particular, it is only natural that he will have picked up traits in performing from a man he admires so much. but the freddie impression isn't quite right yet. when he starts toasting the audience whilst calling them darlings, wearing spandex, then i admit he is going to far, cos then he is not being himself up there.

Ugh. Robbie Williams has perhaps one or two mildly pretty songs in his repertoire, but that doesn't stop them from being dead boring.
He is an inept singer. He does not have an impressive range, the sound of his voice is unpleasant.
He seems to appeal to people because he's a good 'entertainer' - but he looks boring and oafish on television. Maybe you have to 'be there'... but at Live8 he just looked like he'd stumbled out of a pub.
It's a sad indicator of music these days. People like Robbie Williams because there's so much dreck around, they don't have a choice but to pick something, no matter how crap it is.

Kind of like politics. I don't even bother voting. It's like picking whether you want to fucked up the ass with a broken bottle, another broken bottle or a broken bottle with chocolate sprinkles on it. What's the point?
As the prophet Bonnie Tyler once lamented: "Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?" Amen. Rest in peace, Freddie. You're the lucky one.

Robbie is brilliant. None of you wankers are going to make me change my mind. I have friends who detest Queen with a passion.
You can't just quite like Robbie its either love or hate. A bit like Queen really. Now if you'll excuse me..........
Johnny was a boy
make a huge bang buddy
in the streets
gonna be a big boy some way.......

I believe Pink Floyd did a song called The Show Must Go On, so Queen also "stole" things
the problem is who is stealing what. Queen just had a similar title, but considering how long and in how so many different ways robbie has been trying to compare with freddie (what about we will rock you at live8, then) I am more and more convinced he's a horrid little thief.
Hey look, if he 'stole' someone's schtick and was GOOD at it then I wouldn't give a crap. But he's so painfully incapable of living up to the standards of any of his sources - er, I mean idols, it's just embarrassing.
Robbie Williams (and I say this from purely a musical standpoint - say what you will about his 'showmanship' and his 'personality') IS CRAP.
"I believe Pink Floyd did a song called The Show Must Go On, so Queen also "stole" things"
Meh, the Queen track was better.
You can argue about who stole what in music but really it doesn't matter a shit. Elvis supposedly stole from the blacks but I reckon he probably did it better than some people around in those days. It became something else when us shitty white people tried to do it, it's really just a natural evolution.
Jimi Hendrix in his later days was doing guitar overdubs startlingly similar to what Brian May was doing at the start. I'm not going to harangue Mr. May for a track like Chinese Torture and say 'YOU RIPPED OFF HENDRIX". Heck, they were doing it before Hendrix anyway...
It's all about how hard you suck once you've ripped someone off. Robbie Williams... you could use him to clean up confetti after a pride parade. That's how hard he sucks.

he wouldn't be good even at this, I tell you.

"Johnny was a boy

By the way, you got the words *wrong*. Not 'different' or 'his own spin on things'... just WRONG.
It doesn't even make any fucking sense like that - the original song actually had a point and (contrary to popular belief) was against violence rather than for it (which is why I chuckle when people use it to rev themselves up in the Gulf and stuff).

No matter what he does, good or bad, I can't stand the guy.
No, if he could do something good, I could stand him a tiny bit more. Maybe.

Okay, well tallying up opinions, it looks like we agree that Robbie sucks, so much so that he could stall a 747 jet turbine at full throttle if he put his mouth around the front rim.
I say we send the fucker into Afghanistan with his PA system strapped to his back and let him rip. Osama Bin Laden would turn himself in at the nearest border in not time and we could all use the reward money to buy Queen Productions Ltd.
Haha! The vault would be ours at last. We'd leave Robbie in Afghanistan, naturally. He'd wander around and find Michael Jackson eventually, settle down, have kids, etc.
