Take That's Howard Donald and Robbie Williams slam X Factor

 

Tweet OH dear, the rest of Take That aren’t X-actly fans of Gary Barlow’s latest gig...

 

Howard Donald and Robbie Williams have slammed hit ITV show X Factor, where Gaz is one of the new recruits on the judging panel – alongside N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and show veteran Louis Walsh.

 

Howard, 43, is particularly scathing of contestants finding long-lasting success via X Factor, saying the winner will have “disappeared” in a year.

 

Clearly, he has forgotten that Gary, who has his own record label that nurtures new artists, is a proven talent-spotter.

 

Howie says: “You get a lot of these winners in England who win the X Factor...

 

“Basically they go straight to No.1 so they’ve had no idea how to cope with the success – and the success comes to them really quickly.

 

“They must find it more difficult.

 

“Normally a year later they are not in the limelight any more – they’ve disappeared.”

 

Oddly, this is the same Howard Donald who was going to let his 12-year-old daughter Grace audition for Britain’s Got Talent – as long as she did it without any help from dad.

 

My source tells me: “Howard wanted her to do it on her own so she can learn the same way as other contestants.”

 

And disappear after a year?

 

Meanwhile, Robbie Williams waded into the row saying that shows like X Factor are all about finding the best voices and not necessarily the next big superstar. Er, try telling that to Leona Lewis, Rob.

 

Rob, 37, says: “Most shows like this, you’ve got to sing in-tune, sing in key. And I’ve managed to sell 60 million albums without doing either of those things.”

 

At least he’s honest.

 

He adds: “I’m an all right singer, but it’s not the most important thing. It’s everything – image, performance, it’s the soap opera of the person’s life and it’s whatever you project.

 

“The voice has very little to do with it.

 

“Madonna’s not the best singer, but I love to listen to her. The good singers are in the band behind us.”

 

Robbie also posted an 11-minute video on his blog of him wandering around his and wife Ayda Field’s LA pad giving a Through The Keyhole-style insight into their plush surroundings – all chandeliers, a four-poster bed, a wall-mounted Christmas card and a wall of mirrors.

 

Not bad going for a singer who reckons he’s often out of tune and off key...

The Guardian had asked various musicians about their worst gig ever

 

 

Guy Chambers

Hanover, 2000

 

It was a gig with Robbie Williams. He was pushed off stage by a fan who thought he was an impostor because he'd dyed his hair black. We had four SAS members looking after Rob's security and none of them managed to stop this guy running on the stage and pushing Robbie off the stage into the pit. He was quite shaken up, but he went straight back on stage. He doesn't give up easily. He can be quite tasty, can Robbie: he once pushed me up against the wall for putting a saxophone solo on Let Me Entertain You. He said, "If you ever put a saxophone solo on one of my tracks, I will kill you." So I put a trumpet solo on instead.

 

 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Angels co-writer Guy Chambers set to work with Robbie Williams again

by Dean Piper, Sunday Mirror 7/08/2011

 

ROBBIE WILLIAMS and ex-songwriting partner GUY CHAMBERS have patched things up.

 

Despite their past spats, Guy – who wrote Angels with Robbie – tells me he’s likely to pen solo tracks with him again soon. He said: “Hopefully I’ll work with Robbie on his next album as our relationship now is good and healthy. We’ve definitely talked about it so watch this space.”

 

He went on: “I was very happy for Robbie when he rejoined TAKE THAT. I think it’s been brilliant for him because it really looked like he was having a great time on stage.”

 

Guy, who puts on club nights called The Orgasmatron, is also writing with X Factor winner MATT CARDLE. He said: “The ladies like him. He melted a few hearts in the studio.” I bet.

 

 

He might be disappointed. Isn't Robbie's 'next' album almost complete? :unsure:

So they say...maybe Robbie forgot to mention that to Guy ....

 

I guess the threat to kill story will not help either :lol:

I see Guy has co-written a couple of tracks on Matt Cardle's new album. I like Matt. I hope people remember who he is and his album does well ^_^

Robbie Williams criticised by his dad for foul language

 

ROBBIE Williams is no Angel – this time he’s in the doghouse with his dad.

 

The potty-mouthed singer’s father, Pete, has blasted Robbie’s claims that growing up in a pub taught him to use filthy language.

 

Outraged families walked out in disgust :rolleyes: at Robbie’s crude outbursts during the recent Take That tour, prompting him to blame his language and bad manners on his upbringing.

 

 

Robbie, 37, bellowed, “I can’t believe you’re f****** here,” when he walked on stage with the band at Wembley Stadium last month, then imitated rolling a cannabis joint before sticking two fingers up at the crowd and announcing: “Let me ­introduce myself, my name is Robbie f****** Williams.”

 

Later in the concert, he thrust his hand down his ­trousers, shouting: “Taxi for Robbie. I’d like to get fake tan on my hands and touch a few breasts.”

 

In case anyone missed the message, he added: “I want to make you all horny.” But Pete Conway said he doesn’t know where his son learned such elaborate filth.

 

He said: “He did grow up in a pub for the first few years, but it wasn’t rough.

 

“He didn’t see or hear any swearing as far as I’m concerned. I don’t swear ever, it’s not in my ­vocabulary so I don’t know where he got it from.” But the singer def-ended himself in his blog, saying: “I was born and raised (for the first three years of my life) in a pub.

 

“One of my first words was f*** – and one of my first sentences was ‘give me a f****** Harvey ­Wallbanger, please’.”

 

After critics questioned his antics, Robbie blogged: “I know they are frowned up (sic) and the refuge of the uneducated but so be it… F***, f******... can’t be beaten.”

 

And as the band’s tour moved on to Holland, he ribbed his English fans, singing: “Amsterdam, how’ve you been? You’re like the English but prettier and thin.”

 

Let’s hope his pillow talk with Ayda’s better.

 

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

One Day Soundtrack

 

15.08.11

 

 

http://i53.tinypic.com/qz16av.jpg

 

 

*The film One Day, adapted from the book by David Nicholls and with a screenplay by the multi-talented David Nicholls, will be released on Friday in UK cinemas.

 

 

Starring Anne Hathaway as Emma and Jim Sturgess as Dexter, it follows the trajectory of the novel in catching up with the university friends each St Swithin's Day for 20 years. It is directed by Lone Scherfig, whose last film was An Education, which itself was adapted from the book by Lynn Barber and had a screenplay by another novelist, Nick Hornby.

 

The One Day soundtrack. David Nicholls’ debut novel Starter For Ten was adapted into an uninspired rom com vehicle for James McAvoy back in 2006, before his third novel One Day became an enormous and ubiquitous best seller. Nicholls, a former actor who only found success when he turned to writing, is set for life now, having turned himself into a bona fide institution, the new go-to guy for populist comedic romances, like Nick Hornby without the dark honesty (and, therefore, the deeper relevance and credibility). Lone Scherfig, director of the Hornby scripted An Education, is the woman charged with turning this mainstream lit hit into cinema gold, though you suspect that unlike An Education this project is aimed more towards profitability than quality (hence Hollywood starlet Ann Hathaway taking the Carey Mulligan role).

 

The soundtrack combines an eclectic mix of emblematic British hits of a mostly pop-orientated style from (roughly) the nineties through to the turn of the millennium, which is (roughly) the period dealt with in the film, and the selection does certainly have a kind of anthemic and emotive quality to it. Del Amitri’s Roll To Me is a Van Morrisson lite guilty pleasure, indie nice-boys James are always easy to enjoy (factoid: lead singer Tim Booth appears in Batman Begins as a bald-headed serial killer, something he told me himself when purchasing a cheap pre-owned copy of the film in the DVD shop I once worked in) but Fatboy Slim’s Praise You just seems dated, and Primal Scream’s Rocks, fun though it is, was dated when it was released.

 

Perhaps most noticeable is how great Reverend Black Grape sound. In this ball-ache dull era of Fleet Fox-esque alt-folk harmonies, Shaun Ryder’s guttural off-kilter vocals sound gloriously subversive, and just utterly screw-you great. But this isn’t a screw-you collection, it’s a please-you collection (you in this case meaning as many people with disposable incomes as possible), so Senor Ryder’s drawl is soon followed by Robbie Williams’ Angels and Ronan Bloody Keating, which should send the morale of any sane-headed listener straight through the floor.

 

Four tracks from Rachel Portman’s score at a combined nine minutes add a touch of choral atmospherics to an uninspired collection of obvious choices, sure to be enjoyed by sentimental thirty-somethings who equate quality with popularity. In conclusion: meh.

50 Cent Still Wants To Work With Robbie Williams!

The rapper wants to make it happen...

 

By Samson Pharaoh on Monday 15th August 2011

 

Rap superstar 50 Cent has revealed that he still wants to work with the UK’s Robbie Williams.

 

In an interview with MTV.co.uk the ‘In Da Club’ star said: "I've wanted to work with Robbie Williams for a long time… I've pretty much worked with everybody I want to work with in the music industry apart from Robbie Williams."

 

Back in 2007 Williams expressed a desire to meet with the 36-year-old 'Candy Shop' rapper, with rumours of collaboration between the unlikely pair circulating for years.

 

Fiddy continued: "During the Curtis album we talked about working together and we set up some time to go into the studio to make something happen, and then he went to rehab right before we got into our session. So it never actually happened. But I still want to do it."

Hmmmmm.

 

No Robbie news today at all. This just won't do. -_-
