No you are right Scotty Angels and Robbie live to us is unbeatable and unbelievable and to be fair most critics acknowledge that in reviews of any Robbie gig and performance. Unforgettable moment they say.

 

But I am sure anyone attending a JB gig would follow the same pattern for YB. Although I haven't read that it is an inspiring moment in any reviews I have read.

 

Good luck to him on his second album.

Robbie favourite to work out to

http://blog.pinknews.co.uk/2007/03/gym_music_favou.html

 

It's official: gay icons and boybands make the best music to get sweaty to.

 

A nationwide Standard Life Healthcare poll yesterday revealed that the Scissor Sisters, are the band most listened to whilst running, swimming and pumping iron, with 15% of the votes.

 

They were closely followed by the likes of Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Madonna and Take That in the top five workout favourites.

 

Standard Life Healthcare’s Mandy Blanks said: ‘Music has an important role to play in our wellbeing. It has the ability to lift our spirits and helps create the mood for enjoying exercise."

 

Perhaps the upbeat quasi-disco of Madonna's Confessions on a Dancefloor lightens those dumbbells. Perhaps Robbie Williams' cheeky pop-rock distracts from cramp and stitches.

 

Or perhaps listening helps you to imagine Madge or Robbie standing at the end of the running machine - if you could only run just a little faster....

 

ILM: And Robbie Williams was so impressed by you that he gave your permission for him to record Angels in Italian - the only artist ever to be allowed to do so. How did that come about?

 

PATRIZIO: To be honest, I'm known for singing the Italian Songbook and on my first album I had a pop song in Italian called Don't Say Its Over and I did the Italian version of it ('Na Sera 'E Maggio). Then I had this idea of doing an international pop song in Italian. So, the other way round, not doing an Italian song in English, but the other way round, was kind of interesting. So, I was sitting in the studio and just fooling around, and I almost did Don't You Wish Your Boyfriend Was Italian Like Me? - my take on the Pussycat Dolls, but that was a bit too cheeky, so I thought about other songs, and I suddenly came up with Robbie Williams Angels.

 

We went to Abbey Road Studios to record the song and suddenly realised we hadn't asked for permission and needed permission. So my producer was asking for that and thought he wouldn't get any answer, or we'd be ignored or the answer would be no. So we had to chase that through the management and the publishing company. After four months we received a phone call from Robbie's management, saying Robbie listened to my version, he remembers me, sends his regards, thinks it's great and he wishes me good luck.

 

He remembered me because we met in 2003 already, before I was signed to a record company. I did a concert in Budapest and had already done a lot of touring before I had a career in Europe. He happened to be there, we stayed in the same hotel. I was sitting with my musicians in the bar, having a drink, having a laugh and playing on the piano. Suddenly six musicians came in, with Robbie. And it seems to be a musicians' thing after the concert, to have a drink. So we had a chat and we were singing along together; we had a duet. He said 'you've got a brilliant voice, if I do a Swing When You're Winning 2, I'd like to consider you as a voice partner.' I said 'are you kidding?' and he said, 'No, I can't promise anything, but you sing brilliantly; you have a big future.'

 

Then he asked me what millions of girls ask me for… he asked me for my telephone number. [Patrizio and ILM laugh]. He didn't call me, but I met him again at the Brit Awards 2005, where I was introduced officially through my record company. He remembered me, gave me a hug and said "welcome to the Champions League, you're doing all right." And then with the permission too… So, Robbie isn't a friend who I can call up tomorrow and say, 'hey I did an interview today and we were talking about you,' but he has me on my radar.

 

I wrote him a letter, but I didn't send it because I don't think he's in the best position to read any letters now. But I'll be in LA soon and hopefully will sort something out to see him. He's a star. I ignored his music, because I wasn't into it. But he is in my eyes a star, to have the coolness and strength to say, 'right, you did a good version, good luck.' I'm releasing it in South America. I did it in Italian and Spanish and I'm the first person ever to cover any Robbie Williams song in another language. I hope you like it as much as he did.

 

ILM: You recorded the album in Vienna, Warsaw and London's Abbey Road Studios. Which track did you have the most fun laying down in the studio?

 

PATRIZIO: It was fun doing the Robbie William's song, because I did it in London. So the Italian bloke who dares to record at the Abbey Road Studio with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was just fun, walking in there and recording that. I have to say most of the material was recorded in London. I did the corrections in Vienna and Warsaw. The orchestral stuff was in London. I mean Abbey Road, c'mon! We did the photographs of us on the Zebra crossing; we walked across the crossing a million times to get the picture right because there was so much traffic. It's just genius for me, the Beatles, everyone who's really big recorded there. It's like a museum.

ROBBIE: I'M c**p AT RAP

EXCLUSIVE

 

24/03/2007

 

HIS "hip-hop" album was panned and now Robbie Williams has finally admitted what we all knew... he can't rap.

 

And the rehab-fresh singer, who raps on latest album Rudebox, says he was snubbed by a top hip-hop producer after he asked to work with him.

 

The troubled singer says: "Well this is the thing. I absolutely, positively know that I'm not a rapper.

 

"I'm not. I'd love to be, but I'm me, I come from Take That! I believe everyone is saying 'Robbie can't rap.' Yeah, I can't, but I'm not rapping.

 

"For me, it's about having more bars in a song and therefore more words, more pictures painted. Mike Skinner's not a rapper."

 

Whatever you say, love!

 

Robbie tried to bring in Timbaland, who has collaborated with the likes of Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, The Pussycat Dolls and is on tour with Justin Timberlake.

 

"I tried to get in contact with Timbaland, but there was no joy back from anybody," Robbie says. Robbie makes the longoverdue admissions in RWD magazine, which mistakenly call Robbie's album Lovebox. We can understand why, it's easily forgettable. And Timbaland isn't the only artist snubbing ailing Robs.

 

Robbie says he emailed up-and-coming rapper Sway, who responded by "slagging him off".

 

He whinges: "I was so disappointed cos f*** what you think of me, but just as a human being to another human being, I sent him an email going 'I really f****** love this mate, it's dead funny, dead clever, it's really on it.' And then he slagged me off."

 

Robbie, 33, recently in an Arizona clinic for addiction to prescription drugs also reveals that all his money - his last record deal was said to be worth £80million - and fame can't make him happy. He moans: "I'm blessed to know that it hasn't bought me happiness. "I've had to look elsewhere for that happiness and I've got it, but it's a difficult one to talk about. I've been thinking a lot about when I did the record signing for the contract.

 

"I remember saying 'I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams'. It was an absolutely stupid thing to say out loud. I've been thinking about that the last couple of days. It's the most embarrassing thing I've ever done." Er, maybe not.

 

Robbie recently joked to an American camera crew that he was dating male pal Oli T, who has been linked to Denise Van Outen, Rachel Stevens and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood.

 

He said: "All I'm sayin' is: Rachel Stevens, Denise Van Outen, Carrie Underwood and now Robbie Williams. Oli T, he f****** gets about, man. Cause I know all about them chicks before he met me, and now - now I only found out on his website he's Oli T.

 

"Now I'm a bit like: Uhh, it's a bit bad. And it's a bit embarrassing for me and him."

 

Do rap up, Robbie!

 

I am absolutelly furious over today's 3am article. Not so much the article itself because at this point I just feel sorry for them,what with using quotes from last bloody year. How pathetic. They really are beyond a joke and it really is a sad day for British journalism that these two morons are able to write such unconstructive, childish personal attacks day in, day out. And now it has gotton to the point where each article they write about Rob is like reading the same paragraph rehashed over and over, but with a few changes here and there, but still the same old repetetive c**p that a 5 year old could write. <_<

 

What I am pissed off with is that when I was in my local shop, I noticed this has made the front bloody page of the Mirror. It has a pic of Rob at the bottom left with the headline "ROBBIE: I AM c**p" :angry: :angry:

 

Something seriously needs to be done about this, the fact that the 3AM bitches have clearly got personal hatred for him is one thing, but the fact that it made the front page of the paper with the headline suggesting he admitted he was c**p is just plain wrong, especially when all he said was he was'nt a rapper and that was in 2006 for god sake. :arrr:

i just ignore such things...papers are notorious for lies because writers such as the 3am bitches are disappointed with the type of lifestyle they lead so they use there position to spread rumors, gossip and lies all in the name of 'media'... so i doubt everything i read about robbie

so i doubt everything i read about robbie

 

good for you osiris, think we all do on here and some other sensible might as well, but sadly there are lots of people out there who don't...

I could easily ignore articles of that sort if they didn't have an effect, but I'm afraid they do. -_-

Same, I had already read this article this morning and just felt sorry for them, but what has pissed me offf is that it was splashed all over the front page of the paper with the headline "ROBBIE: I AM CRAP" It should'nt be allowed and it is so obvious they have a personal hatred towards him. I mean they obviously don't have any intellegence to construct anything original, so they decide to use quotes from last year, despite them already having an article about him saying those exact same things months ago. Obviously the editor of the Mirror also has personal reasons for actually allowing this sort of thing. Rob's managment need to get off their arse and sue them, if they start losing money, then their is little chance they will continue in such a way, or at least stop for a while. But if nothing gets done about it, they will just continue and continue for god knows how long. :puke2:

I know, scotty... :cry:

I don't know what annoys me more: the way the 3am girls go on about Rob or the fact that Rob's people don't do anything about it. :puke2:

It's SO obvious that it's a campaign and that it's personal :arrr:

 

Well I'm well disgusted with this. I did brush it off as just the usual 3 am c**p talk but its now been picked up online by two other sites and that's not good and the fact that it made the cover is not good either. We all know that its just pure $h!t but the general public, sadly, do believe what they read and this is just pure damaging. I thought that by now they'd stop with all this and just leave him alone since he's not doing much especially not musically, but they're still hell bent in destroying him. Its disgusting and unforgivable the way his own country is behaving and treating him. Its definitely a campaign to ruin him. No other artist has received this kind of treatment for this length of time. I hope he stays away from the UK for the forseeable future. The way they've treated him and continue to treat him, they don't deserve him.

There's a nice article in this week's Look magazine saying that Kylie has been in constant touch with Robbie, and they have planned dinner and trips to the football next month in London.

 

Only time will tell how true it is, but I'd love to see them together...

Yeah... I saw that article Geraldine... but I somehow think whoever wrote the article is living in ' Pink Fluffy Cloud Land ' if you get my drift.

I think that they would be great together as well ( both would really understand each other being in the exactly the same business & I do think they like each other )..... but Its a case of dream on I think... It would be really lovely though...... they look so good together. ;)

As likely as him coming over to hers for Christmas dinner.

 

Hasn't the hook up with Kylie been done to death ?! I'd rather see him with Paris lol

 

Another case of lazy journalism and slow newsday :rolleyes: The pages have to filled with something. Anyways, I think its an old rehashed story, I seem to remember reading something similar a while back.

 

And he'll end up with a stoop and a hump in his back if he dates Kylie. :(

ROBBIE: THE MUSICAL

EXCLUSIVE

By Sean Hamilton Showbiz Editor

http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/tm_head...-name_page.html

 

ROBBIE Williams is to go head-to-head with a new Take That stage show... by writing a West End musical based on HIS life story.

 

Robbie, 33 - fresh out of rehab for addiction to painkillers - has been writing the script at his home in Los Angeles. He plans to create a rags-to-riches musical around a hidden track on his debut solo album Life Thru A Lens.

 

The verses tell of a teacher who mocked a boy called Bob who "landed the popstar's job" for dreaming of stardom.

 

Robbie's best friend and former flatmate Jonathan Wilkes, 33, is in line to take the starring role in the musical which has the working title, Hello Sir.

 

An insider said: "This will be a lavish musical - like Billy Elliot meets Mama Mia, all about Robbie's rise to fame. But it also touches on the the loneliness and sadness."

 

Robbie was inspired to write his opera after hearing about the forth-come musical Never Forget, based on the career of Take That, the band that shot him to fame.

 

is this some sick joke...he isn't competing with Take That <_<

 

looks like the Sunday Mirror has finally decided to get monkeys in to write for them

:blink: :huh: I don't believe this is true

Well Rob has been saying he will do a musical for a long time now, long long before TT ever reformed. If you read 'Feel' you will see that himself and Guy had it all planned, but thent hey split. It was also reported last year (cant remember wether it was Rob or Guy who said it) that they would be definatly working together again on something different, so this could very well be it.

VIP: ROB MONSTERS HIS EX

People

 

ROBBIE WILLIAMS is only just out of rehab but that didn't stop him clashing with an old flame on a night out.

 

Ex LISA D'AMATO recently sold a "kiss and tell" on the 33-year-old superstar so he wasn't best pleased when he spotted her at LA club Hyde. Our spy said: "Robbie headed straight over and started telling her exactly what he thought of her selling the story.

 

"The poor girl looked really upset and left pretty quickly after the incident."

 

Let's hope he calmed down.
