He's a pretty sarcastic individual. All of what he says is tongue in cheek. When he's not doing that shtick he's totally self-deprecating from what I see.

I know, but you have to see trough that, he's soooo insecure!!

I've always thought he's a bit too big for his britches for somebody who has repeatedly failed to break into the American market. The ego and the attitude are fine for an interview in a country where he's huge (Britain), but it comes off badly here. Whenever I see him interviewed I think, "who the fuck is he? who the fuck does he think he is? and why should i care? he's a one-hit wonder here."


Is he even a one hit wonder here? I don't think so. He keeps trying with singles here but nothing has stuck that I've noticed.

Angels was a decent sized hit... the one Jessica Simpson covered this year.

I liked him from Life thru a lense... But after Singing when you are winning I get a little bored by his music... It is all the same..

But a great entertainer though, so yes...Respect for the man who left a lousy boyband to get himself a career like this one!
the beautiful ones, you always seem to loose

I see what you mean.....over here in Europe, we wonder the same about:

Jessica Simpson
Hanson (back then)
Usher
Ashlee simpson
Good Charlotte
and a lot more of them 'artists'

About Robbie: I don't care for his music, nor his ass (I'm still straight, ya know...). I do have to admit he is a performer, a showman. I actually enjoy his cockie attitude in interviews. He's like Oasis' Gallagher-brothers, only with a little more brains!

I only know his music - never seen him interviewed - and the music I've heard doesn't grab me. Too english music hall type stuff.

I love the fact he stepped out of the box and did the song with The Chemical Brothers. He is a self proclaimed wanker. That is smart too. He knows he is full of it. His brother is an amoebe.

Everything about him bores me - his look, his songs, his personality. yawn

But I did like the song and video he did with Faithless a few years back.

Angels was a decent sized hit... the one Jessica Simpson covered this year.


It was a very modest hit (only 41 on the Top 100) so I think some people would even question his status as a one hit wonder in America. They might not have any idea that he had any success here!

i believe that on the pre-radio dominated Hot 100. did it even have a commercial single? i know i heard it on the radio a lot. Millenium got a little bit of play too.

anyhow, one-hit wonder in the States or not, the kid is a big star in Europe (which is more than just one country!), selling millions of records.....too many to disregard. And really, since when is hitting it big in the States a must?
Also, I rather see kids digging the music by Robbie Williams than fabricated Eurotrash or American R&B-dhiarrea (sp.?).....he writes his own songs....

On Take That: Williams made the right move and caused Take That to break up. Everybody ('even' Madonna) thought that frontman Gary Barlow was the only talent of that group but his solo career crashed hard. Why? Because Robbie beat him in being the first (while Take That still thought they could do without him), and everybody prefers a bad-boy (Robbie) over a nice-guy (Gary), and.....Robbie had Guy Chambers.....

That's not really true, he would have loved to break through in the US, but he is not pretentious about it (anymore). Now he's living in L.A. and he's happy he can walk the streets without being recognized...
