Talking about IMDB rank: after 1 month it was down from 7.7 to 7.6 2 or 3 days ago. But since then (exactly since the movie has been released digitally) the % of bad (1 of 10) ranks per country is becoming less and less, including UK and USAL UK - from 4.2% to 3.6% USA - form 12% to 10.8% Will look for this positive dynamics.

So the new song for FIFA has been written by Rob and Karl Brazil. Waiting for that! Robbie Williams joins FIFA as ambassador & teases exciting music collaborations Williams has been a fan of soccer for years Robbie Williams is achieving one of his dreams. The British singer and international superstar is FIFA's latest ambassador, a job that will result in exciting musical contributions that fans will enjoy through some of FIFA's upcoming soccer tournaments. Earlier this year, it was announced that Williams would be working with FIFA on some songs that will debut at this year's FIFA Club World Cup. "I am super excited that there is a proper competition happening this summer. Whenever there is a summer without football, I get very, very bored." (RW) This tournament began 25 years ago, and pits 32 of the best clubs in the world against each other, in the style of the FIFA World Cup. As teams play against each other, more and more will make their way through the rounds, until they reach the final stages of the tournament. The event is taking place this year, in the US, between June and July. It's being hosted a year ahead of the World Cup, which will be hosted in Canada, the US, and Mexico. Williams and FIFA announced their partnership in January, at an event that kicked off the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. This event is a six-month tour that will have the trophy visiting the 32 cities that will be participating in the tournament. The celebration was hosted at Tiffany & Co.’s flagship Manhattan store, in New York since the legendary retailer designed the trophy and its look. The event concluded with various performances, including one by the pianist and composer Alexis French, who opened the show, and Williams, who closed it out with some of his biggest hits. "The FIFA Club World Cup is definitely going to take soccer in the United States and the global football community to a new level." (Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA) The FIFA trophy will be visiting the 32 cities participating in the tournament Williams' musical projects with FIFA have yet to be announced, but he appears thrilled with the opportunity of getting to collaborate with the organization. Aside from his work as a musician, Williams is also invested in soccer, being the President of the English club Port Vale FC. He previously performed at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, singing in the opening ceremony. "Football is my security blanket and what better than this massive competition this summer? I can’t wait to watch," said Williams. https://www.hola.com/us/celebrities/2025021...collaborations/

'I got a number one album with Robbie Williams' - Meet the former Leeds music student who voiced a pop star When pop star Robbie Williams discovered his latest record had become his 15th to top the official albums chart, he described the achievement as a “huge honour”. It meant, the Official Charts Company said, that Williams had equalled The Beatles’ record for the most number one albums in the UK. Quite the milestone for him, of course, but a huge success also for the musician, and former Leeds student, Adam Tucker, whose voice can be heard throughout. Better Man is a soundtrack to Williams’ biopic of the same name. Released last year, the film follows Williams’ childhood, time in Take That and his solo career, while exploring the issues fame can bring. The star is represented on screen as a CGI chimpanzee, a comment on how he feels like a “performing monkey”. Tucker landed the job of singing as Williams in the movie. The 30-year-old, who completed the Popular Music course at Leeds Conservatoire (formerly Leeds College of Music) in 2018, stood out to film producers who were seeking a soundalike of the pop icon. Tucker says he showcased his voice on recordings and highlighted how he met other requirements for the role, emphasising experience gained in both television and recording studios as a student in Leeds. That included winning BBC One’s Pitch Battle with Leeds Contemporary Singers, a vocal group comprised of students and led by a staff member. Tucker sang much of the music heard in the film, with some performed by Williams himself. He spent around 200 hours in the studio re-recording some of Williams’ best-known hits and adopted accent tweaks to reflect the Stoke-on-Trent star. Cameras trained on his mouth so that special effects artists could then match the chimpanzee’s mouth movements to Tucker’s own. He says: “I pretty much lived in the studios in Leeds and I think that had a massive influence on me, having studio time prior to working on this film. “I just knew how vocal coaches worked and what I’ve realised is how my tutors were so industry standard. "When I went to someone in the industry, it was like ‘I’ve worked for people at this calibre before’ so I never felt like I was out of my depth.” With a number one to his name, Tucker now plans to release some of his own original music. The Leeds connection continues with collaborators including fellow alumni, plus the original Brudenell Social Club piano being played on some tracks. Tucker says: “Not actually singing my own stuff and singing someone else’s has opened the door.” Williams is set to perform in cities across the UK and Europe this summer, with his 2025 tour beginning in Edinburgh on May 31. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people...op-star-4980660
