i've just seen the video for the new robbie willaims single "radio" on one of those infernal mtv channels and during the intro & chorus he warbles and shouts in an overblown manner very similar to our very own herr eldritch!

and there's some VERY chameleons-like guitars chiming away in the background!

bizarre!

(a pretty ropey song on the whole, mind )

@QB - Do you mind if I say that I think your a bit weird

Why are YOU even watching Robbie "Gis A Drink" Williams videos - I thought the recent Forum DVD would be on frequent rotation

don't have a copy

*sniff*

It's an awful song - a weird kind of new romantic pastiche, and doesn't seem to mean much. Let's hope it puts off some of those 14-year old girls from buying his records. Let the backlash commence...

@ QB - If I could I would But I cant (at the moment - pre-upgrade) But I would if I could and I Will When I Can.

In the mean time a Celtic Soul Brother MAY be able to facilitate

no worries - the mighty spiggy's hat hath provideth

I’m shocked that Radio is so dire. But at least it keeps Stephen Duffy off the streets. Robbie’s musical output has been going downhill ever since he chose to leave what was a very going concern at the time.

Oh ffs..............

Thanks to the legend from Peterborough , I'm just a gratefull cog in the machine

I have always found it puzzling and annoying that people take this gurning, cabaret singing twerp seriously. 14 year old girls, I can understand why, but when the 'indie' crowd began to think he was cool, I thought the world had gone mad.
His new song is 's**t', almost as bad as the Girls Aloud new single. They don't even try these days do they?

Here, here Rivers! it's bad early Human League meets Soft Cell on a rainy Tuesday night in Romiley!

Mr Blast, its not even that good Oasis fell under his spell for a while too, thats when they lost the plot. He's a pox on talent.

has he ever been any good, that is the question?
take that! and party

No, a thousand times no. He's the 90s version of Donny Osmond or a Bay City Roller. Ok, some of his early songs had quality but were just plain slushy pop. The housewife's choice

tread boldly Sister...

But he's very good for Christmas Office Parties - you know, the bit where the DJ suddenly feels the need for the close proximity of women of a certain age and temperament

P.S. Shurely the topic should have been entitled: Robbie Williams Is Fick

You say that as if it's a bad thing.......blummin love the Rollers I does

Lots of eggs are broken but no omelette yet! The Rollers were of their time, and were mainly taken seriously by young girls. Most pop music these days is made to appeal to little girls.

Robbie Williams is just GREAT!

He does what he likes, give a horse's ass about media AND covers a great oldies song now and then.
What more to ask from a tattooed millionnaire?

IZ.

I'm loving angels, instead
instead of what?

That sounds quite good actually.

He's hateable for, amongst other things, the most smug looking album cover in the world evah, on 'I've Been Expecting You'. I know its 'meant' to look smug but, sheeesh, yuk.

Also he's a Port Vale fan that owns an executive box at Stamford Bridge ffs....off with his head!

I read your post not having heard the song yet. I saw it had been on, but switched the channel quick. But after reading this, and next time I saw it was on, I forced myself to watch it. And indeed, I agree with you. Still not liking the song or the artist really though.
