1 of 2
..Makes sense to me, he has had the bored British overweight housewives & mums in the palm of his hand since the mid 90s.

"Ride on time!".....I loved that one!
I find it hard ot name anyone who has released more boring, precditable music in the last 20 years. Now he thinks he's Frank Sinatra.... 60 years to late for that. What do people see in him>??

The £millions he must have made from 1,000 UK #1 albums?

That makes more sense. 1000 robbiie no.1s and all their exposure would have been enough to make me emigrate.
I preferred him when he was a fat boozing, drug taking mate of the Gallagher brothers

I'm not sure I approve of fat boozing. It doesn't sound healthy.

So I take it most of you are either too drunk to read properly, or drunk enough that whatever joke you have going on here is actually funny?

Oh god yes.
How I loath them. All over the XF boards on here, won't have a bad word said about any of the Take That people they remember back in their 90's teenage/student times. Now they are overweight 40 year olds wanting to throw their knickers at "Garayyyyyyy" and "Wobbbbieeeeee".
I think he's a pile of arse. His latest ditty sounds like something you would make up in the shower as you go along.

"OooooOOOoooohhhh"
I'm not an overweight housewife and I'm a huge fan of Robbie Williams, always have been. What's boring to me is people's knee-jerk reaction of "oh, he's crap" without actually ever explaining why. It seems like it's just because he's not "cool" because he's popular and an entertainer that doesn't take himself too seriously, used to be in a boyband and people think only chavs like him. He's actually extremely underrated artistically in my opinion and writes pop brilliant songs that are funny, moving, catchy, unusual and quite varied stylistically. He has a wide range of musical influences and is one of the few modern musicians who understands what you can do with pop music and uses it properly. And yes, just because he tends to write with other people, it doesn't mean he's not talented and capable of writing songs himself.

Ill happily give my reasons to you:
1. He can't sing. All his songs are songs you can talk through without singing any sort of sustained note.
2.He plays this cheek chappy image we soo love in this country (uggghh why why why) to the EXTREME, and now it is just so grating. The sad fact is he is so smarmy now and even when he is trying to be nice, it comes across as attention seeking.
3.He gets away with any criticism by being labeled a "showman". Yes, Robbies idea of showmanship is not singing and running into the audience. Any blert can do that. Freddie Mercury is real showmanship, having a singing contest with the audience, having people smash their heads around to Bohemian Rhapsody...that is showmanship, not Robbie going "Yall right!!" In some midlands accent.

Willaims couldn't write a pop song if he tried... that's all done by Guy Chambers. Steven Duffy and a little factory of song writers provided by his record company. His singing is average at best - he can put on a performane though.. he is good at that.... but its all style no substance.
Only decent thing he ever did was Could it be Magic and that was a Mannilow cover
