If it isn't him it's uncanny and an amazing coincidence.

Didn't Robbie sing a Damien Rice song for his first audition? It does look like him

That exact song... It is him, in my opinion.

This is the Spinner site:

Seems to be a major music site for AOL in America.

Perhaps he wanted to give XFactor a try but realised it wasn't for him.

Oooooh, Marketa Irglova's on there. She did Falling Slowly with Glen Hansard. She has the most beautiful voice.

Ah, sod it. And Cowell gave Little Mix Cannonball last year as Winner's Song.

Damn, I'd forgotten that!

This all ties up rather too neatly doesn't it, Damien's session guitarist on the show now? If it is him, it's a rather big part of the extensive backstory that is missing.

Well considering how much we've been told about Robbie, this would be a rather key bit to leave out.

Doesn't really pander to the story they have been selling, so what else is missing?

Sorry to burst the bubble, but that is Joel Shearer with Damien (he was in the touring band in 2007) - he also has his own band, Pedestrian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_(band)

No worries, this is all a bit bizarre even by XF's standards.

Amazing how the stories from his 'friends' didn't mention it either.

It would be bonkers if Robbie had actually been the guitarist in Damien's band, I thought it was him
If it was really him (now we know it isnt) surely Cowell would know who he was?

It's him going under a different name.

Damnit, you've ruined our conspiracy theory now!

They are amazingly similar though aren't they?
