Posted October 2, 201212 yr According to this report anyway.... From http://www.express.co.uk/features/view/349...Robbie-Williams RIVALS CAN’T MATCH ME, CLAIMS ROBBIE WILLIAMS Wednesday October 3,2012 By Lizzie Catt with Lisa Higgins and Jack Teague HIS last solo album didn’t exactly set the music charts on fire but Robbie Williams has slammed his fellow pop stars saying they are unoriginal and no competition. When the 38-year-old, who is releasing new single Candy this month, his first solo effort since 2009, was asked which artiste he saw as a rival, he said: “There isn’t anyone. Not Gaga. There is nobody doing what I do. I don’t see anything, especially with the way pop is going now. I am not knocking them all.” The former Take That singer, whose wife Ayda gave birth to their first child Theodora last month, also laid into such chart toppers as Katy Perry and Rihanna saying they were interchangeable and churning out the same music. “You get Katy Perry one week, you get Britney Spears the next, Rihanna the week after,” he told GQ magazine. “They are all going to the same place and inevitably the charts all sound the same. Everyone has become a lot narrower. “So the charts have become a lot less interesting because of it. Bananarama seem wild and aggressive compared with what we have now. You can’t be ugly any more. Look at Noddy Holder, he’s actually a good looking man but he wouldn’t get a look-in today.”
