Controversial opinion! :blink:

 

 

What about this one then -_-

 

Fans of Williams will lap it up but those that aren't big fans might be put off by the way that his personality comes through in the show, and not necessarily in a good way

Filmed back in August 2003, this concert saw over 150 thousand people come to Knebworth to see former Take That member Robbie Williams perform a set of his songs as well as some of his favourites from other artists. I'm not a real fan of Robbie Williams and I have never been to a concert this big but I decided to give this film a try anyway. I'm not sure how much of an experience this concert would have been for those not in the first quarter mile of the stage but on television it works a lot better as it gives more intimacy with the performance.

 

Whether this is a good thing or not depends on your view of Williams. He does most of his big hits and he belts them out really well and if you, like the crowd of mainly screaming women, love this then this is the concert for you. Personally I thought that the whole show was moulded around Williams' personality and that this was not always a good thing. He does come across very smug at times and perhaps all a bit too pleased with himself and how things have worked out. Fans will likely embrace this as part of him being a cheeky chappy but it is a fine line between that and arrogance and Williams doesn't always manage to stay on the right side of it. Likewise his womanising side sees his ogling his dancers, having two of them pretend to kiss and fondling a member of the audience during a song. It is part of his "fun" I guess but again it grated with me because it seemed to be more about his brand of hedonism than it was about giving the audience a show.

That's fab !!. Is that her brother or hubby

 

Brother I always believed.

Ok, will go have a listen again, I liked it, thought it was a good performance , I think it's a song you either like or not . I'm a bit like that with Rock DJ, can take it or leave it , sometimes it sounds really other but then I get tired of it

 

It was a good performance especially of the band.

 

I only really like it when he sings it with Kylie. That's the biggest attraction of the song for me. Other than that - it's a bit nothing for me.

Like we always say - you either love him or hate him. You either get him or you don't.

 

As long as you're not beige about him - it's cool.

Yes, Beige is not good :lol:

Hos version of Betterman was very short :o

 

This is a better photo that shows the natural break in the crowd.

 

So where the crowd changes colour, behind the tree - that's kind of where we were I think. The walkway was on our left - quite a way away. But we could see him on it.

 

Far enough back not to be crushed. Close enough to be able to see him without the screens. :D

I love Better Man! I'm on it :yahoo:

It was almost flat - just a natural incline - it gave us a little bit of a boost.

 

:wub:

 

I wish he'd finished the song - I love it - great lyrics.
