Robbie finally awarded for his album

Thursday, March 1 2007, 12:10 GMT

 

 

Robbie Williams has finally won an award for his latest album Rudebox, scooping the Worst Album of 2006 NME award.

 

The award is voted for by the public, and according to the Mirror, the dubious accolade is to be sent to Williams at the Meadows Clinic in Arizona, where he is currently taking part in a rehabilitation programme.

 

A source of the paper said, "People voted in their thousands with nearly every vote directed at Robbie's feeble offering.

 

"Never in the history of the Shockwaves NME Awards has there been such a concerted effort to get one album named at the worst."

 

NME editor, Conor McNicholas added: "Readers have been clamouring to elect Robbie's Rudebox as their worst album. He's not having a good time of it"

How pathetic. NME PRAISED the album, saying it was the best of his carear and a wonderful pop album. Yet their narrow minded readers who I am sure have'nt even hear the actual album voted. How hypocrtical. :rolleyes:

Well we are talking about NME here, they must've been on something when they actually gave a Robbie album a good review :rolleyes:

 

Thing that I don't get is, if they gave it a good review then why put it in the running for worst album ?! But then not much about NME makes sense so .......

it is two different things though, the NME music critics gave a great review, the readers of the mag had a public vote and really Robbie has never fitted in with NME readers. He is or was too mainstream for them. It is very much an indie, rock, heavy metal rag.

 

Robbie gets nominated nearly everytime for a negative award with NME, nothing new, but it is the wrong time now to have it happen and he has not really had an unsuccessful album before like he has with Rudebox, so this time it will hurt him very much.

 

He has got proof now, it was different when he won 'Worst Album' for Escapology it was successful, so he felt he could stick to fingers up at them.

 

I am dreading the press tomorrow and I am dreading the press next week, never mind about Robbie, it is enough to send me into rehab :angry:

 

I will be glad when the 'Rudebox' fiasco is over to be honest. I'd rather him not be high profile in anything than suffer what they are writing about him, as the Sentinel says he is anxious about what is happening in the press in the UK I hope he does not get to hear well into the summer about all of this.

Well that's just it, now he's protected from all this c**p but when he gets out, I fear that's when it will start getting worse and I hope that I'm wrong.

 

All this makes no sense whatsoever, its just knocking him for the sake of knocking him down. I don't get why he gets the brunt of it, every single time. They do seem to take great enjoyment in dragging him through the mud and especially now.

Well, one thing that rehab will teach him (I hope) is how to deal with all the negativity. Because no matter who you are, if you are high profile like he is, he's going to get negative press. He could donate every last cent to charity and he will negative press. So I'm hoping part of his rehab will be how to ignore and/or not take to heart all the negativity.

I hope he will be okay too when he gets out, its not a great welcome back for him is it?

 

Sadly Robbie has always been "tabloid" good and bad, and I would say he gets more than his far share of slagging off despite his huge success. Maybe that is why, they don't think he should be so successful.

Yeah... They just think that anyone in the Music Industry is fair game especially Rob as he is so successful... & also because they know it upsets him so they take full advantage...

It will die down eventually.....

 

God ... his words have really come to pass.....Youl'' be sticking your knives in me.....

Noel Gallagher Mocks Robbie William's Worst Album Award

Maira Oliveira - All Headline News Reporter

London, England (BANG) - Noel Gallagher has "congratulated" rival Robbie Williams on "winning" the Worst Album at the Shockwaves NME Awards on Thursday.

 

The Oasis rocker had no sympathy for the troubled singer who was awarded the humiliating accolade for his much-derided album "Rudebox."

 

Noel said, "I just wish he was here so I could say well done. I don't think even Robbie himself thinks he's a credible artist I could talk to you for three hours about how bad he is. Worst Album isn't really an award is it?"

 

Noel recently mocked Robbie for seeking help for his prescription drug addiction.

 

Speaking at last month's BRITs - where Oasis collected the prestigious Outstanding Contribution To Music award - he scoffed, "If you take drugs you end up in rehab unless you're a f***ing rock like me and then you just give them up! We've all been there, but if you can't stand the heat..."

 

Robbie - who checked himself into Arizona's Meadows rehab center the day before the BRITs - has been feuding with Noel and his brother Liam since 2000, after Noel labeled the "Angels" singer "the fat dancer from Take That."

 

 

Oh deary me, poor Noel. He really is in desperate need of a life. I mean does he have nothing better to do than slag off Rob. I am past even getting pissed about it, I just feel sorry for the man. I mean nearly 40 years old and his purpose in life to to basically slag off someone who cant even defend themselfs. How very sad. :lol:

How right you are Scotty, Noel is a rather short and sad man. I don't even get offended by his stupidity anymore.

I don't think either of the Gallaghers are credible after their very sullen display or was it performance, or lack there of, at the Brits.

 

:wacko: :puke2:

 

 

How right you are there Jackie from Bournemouth..lol

Another month of c**p :rolleyes:

March already, a bit late in setting up this thread but here we go :lol:

Robbie's mother speaks about his problems

DigitalSpy.com By Daniel Kilkelly

 

Robbie Williams' mother has admitted that it has been difficult for the singer's family to cope with his alcohol and drugs problems.

 

Jan Williams - a drugs counsellor - revealed that she once had to comfort the star like a child when he broke down at the height of his addiction.

 

"There was one time when he came home in the middle of his drink and drug problems. He lay down on the rug with his head in my lap and I looked down at him and he was sobbing," Jan told The Mirror.

 

"For a moment I felt like I was looking into a mirror, like it was my reflection. As a mother it was mind-blowing. I reacted as a mother first and foremost and stuck to him like glue. There was a lot of trauma.

 

"It's very, very hard when your child has problems. Alcohol and drugs don't just affect the person who takes them. But as bad as some of it has been with Robert - and some of it has been a living hell - there have always been lots of lovely things."

 

Williams checked into rehab on his 33rd birthday last month.

 

Full Daily Mirror interview HERE

thanks thisispop.

 

geez, that article was a mish mash of rehashed stories and what year are they talking about? The first part of the article is from his first rehab time and he is in rehab today for prescription drugs, not drink.

 

A very different situation.

 

Trust the press to write an inaccurate article.

Something about all this doesn't wash right with me. I don't think she said all that she's supposed to have said about the past in this Staffordshire County magazine interview. I don't see why she would be talking about it now. She could have only said the few words about his situation now - if that even - and the magazine took some old quotes of things she's said and spliced it together to make it look as if it was all done now and ofcourse the rest of the trash press picked it up and ran with it.

 

Its revolting. He's being crucified and dragged through the mud for no reason :angry:

That's what I thought when I read it. Most of the article refers to events from years and years ago. When he was on the booze. Very strange. :blink:

Gary Barlow: 'Inevitable' Robbie Will Rejoin Take That

Singer pays tribute to ex-bandmate....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By: Chris Taylor on 3/4/2007

Gary Barlow has claimed it is “inevitable†Robbie Williams will appear with Take That again.

 

Despite the pair’s differences after Robbie quit the band in the mid-nineties, Barlow believes the massive success of Take That’s reunion means Robbie will take to the stage with them once more.

 

He tells The People he is now reconciled with Robbie, who is currently in rehab in America, “We met him while on tour and I exchange emails. A couple of the guys get texts from him and we're on a really good note with him."

 

Gary also acknowledged that Take That were only able to reform because of Williams’ successful solo career.

 

He said, “If I'm really, really honest we wouldn't have had a chance to be Take That again if it wasn't for him still being a successful artist - we wouldn't have this second chance if he wasn't out there."

 

Robbie will have plenty of opportunity to make a 'surprise' appearance with his old band - they've just sold out a new 29 date tour.

 

 

:unsure: :wacko: <_<
