Jack_Bauer 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Well, I decided what the hell. I bought the DVD, and all of the hype of Robbie Williams being a great entertainer is true. He is a HELL of a singer, and I think that gets overlooked because of the music he does. The DVD is super, and looked like a great concert. Moby, Ash and The Darkness were the support, which makes me wonder why I didn't even TRY for a ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Prepare to get rushed by a bunch of Brits. Robbie Williams is a former member of British boyband Take That (They had one hit in America "Back For Good") who became an even bigger solo star. Remember the music video where the guy ripped off his own skin and flesh? That was him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh he had a few minor hits over here and an overplayed video on MTV, nothing compared to his UK success but not a total flop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did'nt Simon from the American Idol show make the Take That band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 I've always kinda wanted to punch Robbie Williams in the face. Potentially in the kidney, if I had the angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did'nt Simon from the American Idol show make the Take That band? Justin didn't even NEARLY steal the style of Robbie. If he did, he would be about one hundred times better. He does pretty much bubblepop music, but he is superb at it, and the only PURE pop artist that I think is any good. And Simon DID make the band to the best of my knowledge. He also made the Wrestlemania album all those years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJMc 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Honest, I thought it said Robin Williams. I see "he's a hell of a singer" and start thinking about the opening scene in Mrs. Doubtfire...hehe. Yup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 Was it Robin Williams or Jim Carrey who sang on a Beatles tribute album? Either way it wasn't funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiny norman 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Robin Williams sang Come Together on a Beatles Tribute album, Jim Carrey sang I Am The Walrus. I like Robbie musically, but I think he comes across as an absolute arsehole. Also, the line from Live At Knebworth of "I am Robbie Williams, and for the next two hours, your arse is mine!" really pissed me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
