I doubt Robbie will be on their award list for a while :angel:

 

I quite like it :cheer:

 

And I share his sentiments about the Yawn Fest that was the Brits. What's happening to the music 'stars' of today? A bunch of middle class bores, the lot of them.

Robbie Williams Wants Brits Bosses to Liven Up Dull Awards Show

 

 

1 March 2013

 

Robbie Williams is urging organisers of the BRIT Awards to make some serious changes to avoid another "dull" ceremony next year.

 

I'm very excited to be here yet again, it's an honour to be nominated of course, blah di blah... Well that BRITs night was so f**king boring"

The Take That star was among the performers at the prizegiving in London last week, but he insists playing his hit Candy to fellow celebrities and industry executives was like facing a "dead hall".

 

Williams is adamant the show was "a bit dull" and could be improved by filling the venue with an audience of fans when it returns in 2014.

 

He tells Britain's BBC Radio 4's Front Row show, "I'm not saying that I was amazing at the BRITs... (but) I got on stage and turned around and looked at a dead hall. It's not their fault, but maybe they should have some punters in... I didn't have anybody to vibe off in the audience".

 

Williams was so disappointed with the ceremony, he wrote a song afterwards mocking the BRITs.

 

In the track, titled The Brits 2013, he sings, "I'm very excited to be here yet again, it's an honour to be nominated of course, blah di blah... Well that BRITs night was so f**king boring".

Tooth is, The Brits were dull

Robbie Williams says awards show was like a dentists' convention

 

Brit boring ... Robbie Williams says Awards show was dull

By GORDON SMART, Showbiz Editor

 

 

AS a man with 17 Brit statues on his mantelpiece, ROBBIE WILLIAMS is in a good position to criticise the awards.

 

He has won more gongs at the bash than any other male artist.

The singer put the boot in earlier this week with his track called The Brits 2013 — which labelled the awards “f****** dull”.

 

Now he’s gone for the jugular again, branding the do as boring as a “dentists’ convention”.

He said: “It’s a lot of back-slapping. I think people should be entertained.

 

“I get it right sometimes, I get it wrong a lot of the time too. But I want to say something different, or be different or cause controversy.

 

“Or just have something interesting happen and it seldom doesn’t.

 

“I was backstage and it was dead — it might as well have been a dentists’ convention.

 

“I’m from 1996 and 1997 where there was CHUMBAWAMBA throwing a bucket of water in JOHN PRESCOTT’s face or JARVIS COCKER getting up on stage and then being thrown off when MICHAEL JACKSON was on.

“Or OASIS being nasty to MICHAEL HUTCHENCE or me offering LIAM GALLAGHER out.

 

“I see everything I do as being entertaining. And that was entertainment. People should be more badly behaved or at least interesting.”

 

Bosses did a great job of putting on a professional show — but the atmosphere was lukewarm at best.

 

Robbie was honest enough to admit his own performance of Candy was as uninteresting as the rest of it.

 

He added to Radio 4’s Front Row show: “I was a bit dull — my performance wasn’t amazing but I didn’t have anyone to vibe off in the audience. I turned round on stage and saw a dead hall.

“Maybe they should have had some punters in.”

 

He’s got a point about dentists. My brother has that misfortune and he’s boring until five pints of Tennent’s lager are on board.

Kind of glad I didn't bother watching the Britts this year, was it really that boring? :unsure:
I thought it was planned out well (the costumes, the choreography, and all), but he said it in an interview and it was obvious - he didn't feel the energy from the audience :(
What happened to the 'normal' audience? They used to be at front of the stage at the Brits. This year it looked like industry types were seated near the stage.

They were put at the back out of the way , all the big wigs were at the front including Simon C, what happened to his face recently, it seems to have collapsed :unsure:

It's quite sad that he made that comment :( Last time he performed at the O2, the audience were there purely just for him and nobody else.

Not everyone at the Britts would of been Robbie fans, the audience energy is bound to be different.

Of course the audience energy can't be the same in two completely different situations, and he said himself that it is his job to sort of wake up the audience (at the Brits) but it wasn't possible, at least not with Candy. Perhaps if he had sung Let Me Entertain You, it would have been a different story. I don't care who you are, everyone loves that song. It gets you mooooooooooooovin :yahoo:
