Robbie Williams

 

Bråvalla

2015-06-26

 

Was it good? Yes, it was good.

 

Robbie Williams delivers engagement, singing and a twinkle in his eye. Tact and toner sit where they should. The band plays flawlessly, and choir singers are tonsäkra and the sound is just fine.

 

The crowd is awake, sing along and clap their hands.

 

However. Where. There. Good?

 

No.

 

It was a cavalcade of covers and antiquated old man jokes.

 

Robbie seems to forget that there are social media nowadays. That we actually have an eye on that he has a wife and children.

But a nd the he sell himself as "attractive casual man seeking woman."

It is so outdated and unsexy. If he were bound to be sexy.

 

In true Robbie spirit he picked up a girl on stage. "Ann from Sweden."

It's really nothing new you should know. Have you seen it once, the feeling to replay close.

He was well-used bed chamber trick since he became a solo artist. And it's fun for anyone who can come up on stage.

If it's for real?

But it's so jääääkla trite. And boring. And trite.

 

Did I say boring?

 

Come on. It's 2015.

Modern times.

 

Or am I just jealous that it is not I?

Yes, it may well be.

 

No. Robbie needs to grow up. Get a little update on the world and realize that it does not need to make jokes old man jokes to be good or fun.

 

Then he needs someone to tell him to run his own songs.

 

We want to hear him sing his own songs.

He can it.

*MISSED IT?* #Review [sWEDISH] #RobbieWilliams kan så mycket bättre - #Bråvalla - Drefvet http://ow.ly/3xZOSA

 

I saw someone tweet exactly the same thing tonight from Denmark.

 

They gave him five out of six stars. They took one off for the covers. They asked why he did them when he had so many hits of his own.

 

I heard a little bit on Periscope tonight. He did Supreme the proper way. It sounded great. B-) I wondered if he was going to shake up the set list a bit but then the stream went down. :wacko:

 

The bit I heard - the crowd sounded up for a good time. He sounded in good voice too :)

I like when he takes his performances seriously, sometimes he messes about too much but that is the way he is :)

Desperate Robbie Williams closed Tinderbox karaoke show

 

 

The English fop tried to hide a pauver musical effort with a spectacular show.

REVIEW

 

 

Let's take the positives first: It was an enthusiastic and his usual witty Robbie Williams, which closed the year Tinderbox.

 

As pop Kavalari he came riding into with grand gestures and a fanfare of laser light, impressive visually on huge screen with brass horns, dancers and ready made jokes that actually still work.

 

And Tinderbox was ready to accept the English man of the world that still has the pub smørede grin on his lips. The square was filled to the brim with ease, and the sound came completely out of the trees.

 

That said, it was a musical belly flop of rank. Robbie Williams could not even lift his musical hit parade with his winning character, but during the hour and a half on Sunday night in the pouring rain was his charm all he eventually could cling to. Meanwhile, he conducted a massacre of a karaoke show with his own and especially other people's songs.

 

To the dresser and back again

With a rumble-and-bang version of 'Let Me Entertain You' put the 41-year-old Englishman from the country as usual.

 

The excessive Tintin hairstyle was set with hydrogen peroxide, and after 'Rock DJ' we got the usual input message that he was "f***ing Robbie Williams 'and for the next few hours," you ass is mine!'.

 

 

 

With a twinkle in his eye, he presented himself for those under 30 - as a name that big in the 1990s, as the man who walked out of school, came with the boyband, thick, lost weight, got into rehab was thick again and wrote the song 'Angels' that made him a millionaire.

 

We were invited to nostalgia trip and all hands went from side to side under 'Monsoon'.

 

Hefter capsized it.

 

Robbie Williams did not limit itself to scroll grinning around his own back catalog of million-selling songs like 'kids' or 'Come Undone'. As if he were a musical jukebox from the era of snow on the TV screen and landlines braided he as many songs as possible under way.

 

It could possibly have been entertaining in itself, if it were not so disastrous to hear.

 

First with an unusually sloppy version of U2's anthem, 'I Still Have not Found What I'm Looking For', since in the form of a takrummende barbershop version of R Kelly's 'Ignition' and insulting whining attempt to hit the nerve of Lordes 'Royal'.

 

 

 

Robbie Williams has not exactly been a better singer over the years. The boyish vocals sounded most of Tinderbox concert as a squeaky falsetto. Still, he threw himself into both new and old classics. It was the pure blue light. Also when he flippant charm broke into Oasis' 'Wonderwall' with the words:

 

'Do you remember this? The I have also written! '.

 

 

With his latest swingprojeker in mind, it's like that no one around Robbie Williams has dared (or nænnet?), Saying to him, listen, if you need to sing Frank Sinatra's' My Way 'or just get away with Queens' We Will Rock You ', spit gum out and tighten the buttocks. Otherwise it will be damn embarrassing.

 

It was so in exchange for full Peel, when Robbie Williams unblinking threw himself into a duet with just Queen in 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Such an arch British song that Kanye West also took it as a companion song in his concert Saturday night at Glastonbury.

 

But the West at least put a little force her voice and triumphed in England, Robbie Williams sounded like an insecure teenager who just croaked a few pivfalske stanzas between Freddie Mercury show of rock opera. How leveling to the greatness of that song stuck to the ground. And exhibits ufrivlligt its own limited abilities.

 

All this did not prevent Tinderbox audience to have a party. Perhaps because they sang so loudly that they had long ceased to hear the 2015 edition of Robbie Williams singing 'Candy', 'Angels' and 'Feel'. Or maybe because the green laser light with drifting clouds made Williams the service to remove the focus from the music.

 

For that is what Robbie Williams is reduced to today. A pop musician, who with a racket in bright colors try to avoid to relate to the songs and bet everything on the lowest common denominator. It gives the show a desperate tang - and the concert was it then.

The critics had to be expected. But the crowd seemed to have fun as far as I read the tweets. He needs more self esteem for his own songs and he needs a lot more self esteem for the next album and tour when it is not about greatest hits

 

Some of the reviews from Denmark are not good :blink:

 

Three years running shit reviews from Sweden and Denmark. :wacko:

That's what I thought ..

He did a min arena tour soe years backk, had a hot setlist then , way more suitable for a festival ...

 

That's what I thought ..

 

You would think that if he saw the reviews and everyone mentions the too many covers thing that he would amend it? especially when he has so many songs to choose from.

 

Even the most glowing reviews have mentioned it as an aside.

 

Although ironically - probably the one thing that is uppermost in reviewers minds because it's so long is the Bohemian Rhapsody performance and that's the number one thing I wish I were seeing.

 

Trouble is with not seeing the show - it's hard to know what to think. Until you're actually there with him in front of you performing, it's hard to form any opinion on the set list etc. :???: I think if I saw the show I would enjoy the covers because I like how he switches around his songs but to compare to say Lionel Richie's performance at Glastonbury on Sunday -If he had started singing other peoples songs - I guess it would have seemed quite strange.....

 

That puts it in context a bit for me.

He has plenty of songs to play around with, nit sure what goes through Robbie's head at times. Is his dad coming on stage at the festivals, I mean that must be really weird, can you imagine what the young crowd are thinking :P

I guess he goes with his gut feeling of what he thinks works and going by the reviews so far most of the time it does. Apparently he said on chat how much he is enjoying the festivals. I wonder if there is a stubbornness there - although he does shuffle set lists around generally doesn't he?

 

It'll be interesting to see if there are any amendments to the next one which is this weekend.

I tried.

 

You need to provide a Romanian postcode <_<

 

I nearly got to the end as well :(

 

There's 50,000 "tickets" apparently :)

 

We have loads of Roomanians in town , maybe II should have asked one of them for a postcode :P , not sure if they hae one though as they are normally begging <_<

 

 

 

When was that gig on Laura , I was out last night & have lost track of time :)

Don't ask me - I haven't a clue about the festivals :lol: it could be the 17th July - on RW.Com someone said it's an "ID" number not a postcode :???: .

 

I know the next two though - Belgium on Saturday and then Rome on 7th. Apparently the weather forecast is for 36 degrees on Saturday so it will be very warm. They're allowing fans to take drinks in and parasols as there's no shade there.

 

Yes - I've just checked - it is the 17th July. I think he's got loads in July. I hope Ayda and the kids join him. :)

Rome is a great city . I guess as Robbie moves further afield with the tour Ayda will join him, at the mo it's easy for him to fly back to the UK

 

 

 

 

and here she is on the plane ^_^ glad she's there with him :)
