Rat's it for rodent Williams

BIZARRE readers have blasted singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS’ new single Rudebox, saying it sounds like telly puppet ROLAND RAT.

 

 

When I first heard the single I thought it was terrible — as I revealed in Saturday’s paper.

 

Now judge for yourself. Click here to listen to listen to a clip of Rudebox and the original tune it samples, Sly and Robbie’s 1983 hit Boops (Here To Go).

 

About 90 per cent of Robbie fans who got in touch with me agree that it's awful.

 

Ben Scarr slammed it, saying: “Rudebox sounds like Roland Rat’s 1983 hit Rat Rapping. It’s the worst song released by a major artist in the history of pop music.â€

 

And Kev in Edinburgh went one step further: “Biggest pile of rubbish I’ve ever heard! A complete joke.

 

“Robbie’s been going downhill since he parted company with song-writer GUY CHAMBERS — this is just rock bottom.

 

“I think OASIS should give him back the wreath he gave them a few years ago. Robbie Williams R.I.P.†It seems even Robbie’s most loyal followers have given him a bashing too.

 

Sandra in Melbourne, Australia, said: “How the hell can us RW fans sing along to THAT! Disappointing.â€

 

Alicia Beattie added: “It is shockingly c*** and has the most random lyrics. ‘TK Maxx costs less, Jackson looks a mess.’ It sounds like something a child has come up with.â€

 

Anthony Doyle chipped in: “I felt like ripping out my eardrums and throwing them at the radio. I think Robbie has lost his touch.â€

 

However, Tom from Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, said: “I’m no Robbie fan but Rudebox is quality, really funky cutting-edge stuff, much better than soppy ballads! Good on ya.â€

 

Robbie defended Rudebox yesterday when he called Radio 1 DJ SCOTT MILLS live on air.

 

He said: “The single has polarised opinion. A lot of people hate it, lots of people love it. The same happened with (my 2004 single) Radio.â€

 

When Scott asked if criticism of the track hurt him he replied: “Yes it bothers me. I love this record and I’m really proud of it so yes. It’s my track and I love it to death.â€

 

Robbie also rounded up other showbiz big guns to back him up.

 

 

CHRIS MOYLES (who is a mate of Robbie) said on his Breakfast Show yesterday: “I can’t decide. I’ve only heard it once. Whether it’s good or bad I just don’t know yet.

 

“I don’t think it’s rubbish, I just think it’s odd. I think it’s very odd.

 

“I so want him to get back with Guy Chambers. I miss those songs. He’s probably bored of it and thinks it’s twee but I like it.†VERNON KAY (who doesn’t know the singer) said: “The new Robbie record is a step in a different direction for him.

 

“It sounds slightly like he’s taking the mickey out of British R&B with the accent he’s putting on! Now I’ve heard it a few times, it’s really grown on me.â€

 

But Radio 1’s EDITH BOWMAN (who has known Rob for years) said: “I was really disappointed with Robbie’s last album, but it’s nice to see him challenge himself.

 

“I’m not a big fan of the first single but some of the other tracks on the album are really interesting.â€

 

I told you on Saturday that I reckoned Robbie would refuse to send me the rest of his album for review because I slated the single.

 

I’m still waiting for the album — perhaps the Robster’s running scared.

 

Or perhaps he just hates your guts. :rolleyes:

wow thanks for the articles

I love it when Robbie totally wipes out all the rumours that have been flying around for weeks, lol!!

So do I, think its really funny, He did that on the last Parkinson show he was on when he commented on the Yatch he was supposed to have ;) oh and the naomi campbell fling that was all over the tabloids

There was a report on Rob in Berlin on German telly yesterday. They showed him playing footie.

One guy from the opponent team was interviewed and he said that Rob was a pleasant and very normal person.

It seems that apart from that football match he hasn't left his hotel room much so far. They also showed Josie carrying tons of Adidas bags into the hotel. :D

Robbie around two at night into cut

And the superstar makes itself in such a way which of Adidas

Of ALEXANDER STILCKEN

Playground luxury hotel. Robbie in the lobby. The whole evening sat it there, until into the night, always behind the stairs, where during the day dte is served. Shielded of two Bodyguards, Smalltalk with two, three friends. Meanwhile the reception hall fills cuts Carl clay/tone with fans and curious ones. The later, the more. To the 100 there is female at the end, most. Seats, wait, look in Robbies corner. Whether it perhaps times rüberschaut? Already on Monday went in such a way. Against 21 o'clock, Robbie is straight of the soccer game back, goes the preparations in the bar loosely. Chairs are together-moved, “reserved†- small card placed, the hotel Security becomes more nervous. 21,30 o'clock is it so far. As the first one hears it only whistle. Then one sees a buggy. And finally: IT. Leave in the white Adidas Jogging suit it pushes Mickey, the three months old baby of its best friend Jonathan Wilkes (27), into the bar, to which with its friend Nikki and the Bodyguards saunter afterwards. Rob sits down, which light gedimmt. Rob orders fish, vegetable, Cola, water. Champagner for the women. The bar customers look. The businessmen, because it is so impudent underdressed. The women, because it works so impudently sweetly and in the long run in the sport Dress, with Strubbelhaaren. So nicely, as it rumalbert with the baby. And that it converts itself for smoking specially. Very nice, these baths Boy.

 

 

Robbie remains two hours. As it goes: Katerstimmung in the bar. Nearly everything goes. An error: Against half one the Britisher fläzt itself again this time again in the lobby. Only at two o'clock early is terminated the Robbie Williams show. For the time being. Continuation follows. Resembles place, same place.

 

Yes indeed. :unsure:

lol thanks for the translation :)

 

 

Well, I think I followed most of that. Any ideas what rumalbert actually means? :D

"Robbie Williams Finds Sex On MySpace

Svjetlana Mlinarevic - All Headline News Contributor

Hollywood, CA (BANG)-British pop bad boy, Robbie Williams, has been known to bed his fair share of women but who knew the sexy Brit had it so easy.

 

During an interview with Britain's Radio 1, sexy Robbie states, "I've heard about this Swedish girl who has been rating me on MySpace. If she wants to come along [to] any of my shows then she is welcome. I think she is calling herself 'blond slag'. But, you know, if she's going to talk about it then we might as well do it!"

 

It's been rumored that Robbie has sex with female fans in between shows of his current "Close Encounters" tour.

 

Apparently, some of those fans have been talking about it on MySpace.com.

 

Postings on the site have been heated with girls not only claiming to have had sex with the pop star but rating him as well.

 

Unfortunately, Robbie's tour won't be making it to America, but kept the faith girls he now lives in L.A. "

 

..found on an American news website ... not new news but thought Dazzle would like the last comment :dance:

That translation had me in itches LOL

"rumalbern" means something like joke around

 

I found this article in the Berlin Morgenpost-

 

Monsoon, can you translate please? :unsure:

 

 

 

Robbie rockt

Britischer Superstar sorgt für Kreischalarm im Olympiastadion

 

 

Robbie Williams mag Berlin. Hier präsentierte er im letzten Oktober seine Platte "Intensive Care". Und bereits in den Jahren davor reiste der Superstar immer einige Tage vor seinem Konzert nach Berlin, um die Stadt zu erleben. So auch diesmal. Vor den Mega-Shows heute und morgen im Olympiastadion gab der 32-jährige "Let Me Entertain You"-Profi in dieser Woche schon unmusikalische Mini-Vorstellungen beim Fußball, beim Fläzen in der Hotel-Lounge, in der Bar, auf der Straße.

 

Was ist dran an dem tätowierten Engländer mit der großen Klappe, der sich als depressiver Kettenraucher bezeichnet und dem die Massen zu Füßen liegen? Der Sänger gilt als charmant und freundlich, aber auch exzentrisch und divenhaft. Bei dem Lausbuben liegen Selbstironie und Größenwahn dicht beieinander. Doch egal, in welche Schublade man ihn steckt, Robert Peter Maximilian Williams aus Stoke-on-Trent in Mittelengland ist auf der Bühne ein brillanter Unterhalter.

 

 

Auf die Kasperrolle war er schon bei Take That abonniert. Robbie hatte mit 16 Jahren die Schule geschmissen, um im Showgeschäft Karriere zu machen. 1991 landete er bei der erfolgreichsten britischen Boygroup der 1990er Jahre und flog nach fünf Jahren wieder raus: Robbie nahm zu viele Drogen und stritt oft mit den Managern. Ein Jahr später löste sich Take That ohnehin auf.

 

Obwohl Robbie Williams weiterhin mit Drogen experimentierte, startete er eine erfolgreiche Solokarriere mit sechs Studioplatten seit 1997. Darunter zahlreiche Hits und das Album "Swing When You're Winning", eine Hommage an Frank Sinatra.

 

Zwischen "Intensive Care" und dem Vorgänger "Escapology" lagen drei Jahre. Wahrscheinlich mußte sich Robbie erst mit seinem neuen Co-Autoren, dem Ex-Duran-Duran-Sänger Stephen Duffy, zusammenraufen. Die Ergebnisse wirken ruhiger als seine bisherigen Lieder, sind aber genauso stadionkompatibel. Schon im Herbst will Robbie sein nächstes Werk "1974" vorstellen, ein "dreckiges" Dance-Album. Vielleicht wieder in Berlin.

 

 

Olympiastadion:

Olympischer Platz, Charlottenburg, Heute/morgen, 18 Uhr, Restkarten 60-82 Euro

Robbie tickets go ... Sky High

But gig is to be televised

By Paul Robinson

HE'S the pop superstar who famously celebrated news of his latest megabucks record deal by telling the world: "I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams!"

But it's fans of Robbie Williams, rather than the man himself, who will need a few quid in the bank if they want to catch their idol live in Leeds later this year.

The one-time Take That pin-up's sell-out gigs at Roundhay Park in September have sparked frenzied bidding wars on Internet auction site eBay.

Tickets had an original face value of £45 but, with the 90,000-capacity shows still more than six weeks away, many are now selling at around £150 a time.

People who fancy treating their pals, meanwhile, can splash out a whopping £600 for seven places at one of the concerts.

And folk set on seeing Robbie in style even have the option of spending £425 on two tickets, a night's stay at the city centre's Radisson SAS hotel and limo travel to and from Roundhay Park.

Ian De-Whytell, boss at Leeds music store Crash Records, said: "You're talking about a lot of cash, but I'm not surprised the prices are so high.

"Everyone seems to want to see Robbie – these are the biggest concerts of the year in Leeds without a doubt."

There was some good news today, however, for fans unwilling to pay top dollar to catch the action at Roundhay.

The second of Robbie's two nights in Leeds has been announced as Sky One's first live high definition broadcast from the UK.

Richard Woolfe, programming director for the satellite TV channel, said: "Audiences will feel like they're on stage with him."

The Angels singer, who signed a reported £80m deal with EMI Records in 2002, is playing the park on September 8 and 9.
