my computer crashed last Saturday and I don't remember my password of here so I could not use smartphone or notebook. I m back and like you I think that Ayda will be pregnant soon if she not already is. This could be the reason that the album is delayed to winter 2016 rather than the secret project

it is interesting that no one put the fact that TT is not selling elsewhere than in the UK, and even in the UK they are selling badly these days, to the fact that their songs are not that great aide you are a fan, that the shows are not capturing people outside the UK, as they are like muscial without being a musical and that the only ever Robbie-less song popular since they split the first time was "paticence". No other album or single of them or Gary chart on relevant score in Europe or Australia. Robbie may not have had a huge hit since Candy and Go Gentle, but sold almost 2 million copies of his Swing album and can carry a show only by his personality. To bring the success of the tour down to his management and PR is ridiculous. They cannot teach ten thousands of people to know the lyrics of his songs and sing them back to him. Have you seen the reaction in Romania though when he sang Could it be magic and waited of them to pick it up? Not even the old songs transfer anymore. TT are talented and Gary might be a new Andre L. Webber in the future, but they simply lack of Rob's personality and the ability to touch people's hearts with the lyrics. Have you seen how many men are in the audience? He matures and his audience has changed and that is what a long lasting artist is about. The UK is a different case. TT may have tax problems or not, they will always stick in people's hearts and good for them. But they are a local these days, simple as that

I watched t yesterday. He is made for these huge crowds. Hopefully he can manage to do stadiums again. This tour is a hell of a success.

She is from South Africa. Agree about Ayda

thank you Syd

Who is Lamar :-( ?

she was a great swimmer and I think they are usually tall, great pic, isn't it? O wonder of Ayda spoke French with Albert. Have a great day, Laura and hopefully they will make lot's of money

I am also pondering about it and first thought it is about ticket sales, but he could have moved to smaller venues and as his concert in Singapore last year had gone down that well, I cannot see a lack of sales in HK and Singapore. They say it is Force Majeure which is a legal term you are allowed to use only when indeed you cannot influence the result. So maybe indeed it is about the Chinese officials and the local tour promotor who cannot get a show like this through

Is RWAP offline, Laura? Robbie cancalled the asia dates of the tour because of Force Majeure. Was the ticket sale that bad they could not move it to a smaller arena? Or is it something else? Maybe work with TT on the 25th anniversary?

You had to do a lot on TW Classic. Drink fluids, for example, and a Cap. And remember to lubricate again after you go through the water nozzles. But if there's one thing was that you had to do, not Saturday it was Robbie Williams learn how he became a man of sixty thousand with a smile on the roodverbrande face back home. Because who read a book about rasentertainers, which will see Robbie Williams since the pressure of 1997-the year of ' Angels '-on the cover. Give him only a game of pim-pam-pet instead of a microphone and a festival audience he delivers two hours of the time of their life. The classic opener ' Let Me Entertain You ' still has given none of its effect; no man that there is no extra shot got sprayed in the veins of zest for life. If it had to some Dutch are that really thought that Derry would win the Tour-prologue. No, at Robbie Williams was no place for down-hearted souls, the Meadow was reserved for shameless feelgood and razor-thin romance. Michelle Williams because his songs to each other with spielerei, clownish slapstick and an irresistible itself putting into perspective. The girl on stage with it if needed some gentle visual gags and to everyone under 30 suggested Williams politely for himself, with the summary Biography: "I was born, joined a boy band, stepped out, was thick, was thin, went into rehab and became a millionaire". But between all those cheerful nonsense were numbers where each festivalwei for goes flat. Songs for the ages from 8 to 88, songs with old rockers and young whales feel the same; pure fun and upsetting optimism. How could it be otherwise: a fiery ' Come Undone ' culminated in a Sung en masse "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For '-a giant Campfire time. Williams, sided with everyone behind him to a lullaby for his little daughter present, drummed a fanfare for the polonaise cracker ' The Road To Mandalay ' and left a swing Orchestra ' Minnie The Moocher ' lustig juggling by Cab Calloway. A striking number of covers in the set Besides, by Jay-Z and the Beastie Boys over Lorde and Frank Sinatra to Led Zeppelin and Queen. The cheapest of which covers had the musty odor of karaoke under the armpits, but the public had already learned to just that kind of onfrisheden today. Completely shaken off its status of cover: ' She's The One ', an endearing invitation to dearly slowen, who also was accepted with both hands by whom there really no place for. When Williams conducted thousands of arms from left to right during the Millennium, you could not imagine how he ever has to share the spotlight at the time of Take That. On stage was a performer who is born to solo to live out and there, with all look on him, even the flowers for receiving it. "I just want to feel real love", at the end in ' Feel ', and so it was too. When he made his greatest asset ' Angels ' uitspeelde, nor Williams was sure a lotta love and affection. http://focus.knack.be/entertainment/muziek...mal-584733.html

Since March, he is on a world tour, not only in Germany. In Berlin Robbie Williams occurs for this in a completely different role - as a promotional Ambassador for Volkswagen. He sings three songs at the opening of the new headquarters. Shortly thereafter, and with bow he hands the interviewer galant. Quite a gentleman. The eccentric pop star has changed, again. He is also fond of animals. Next to him: A big something, fell like a sheep. "Don't worry," says master, "he won't bite." The world: Is that your dog? Robbie Williams: Yes, that's Spencer. The world: Spencer Williams, original. Is Yes, a giant creature. He travels with you always? Williams: Yes. The world: He sits then buckled in a private jet next to you and happy pants on the seat backs? Williams: well, on transatlantic flights he must unfortunately in the box in the luggage compartment, which is really nice for such a beast. Spencer was a puppy for years, suddenly he began to grow and did not stop. It is now ten years old. I must simply take it to work, too little time me for him. The world: "Take to work", which sounds very solid out of your mouth when you consider that the biggest stages in the world are your Office, where you sing in front of millions of people. Williams: I'm also solid, I got it. You can see here on the spot yourself: before you sits a married man and father of two children with House, Garden, a real family. I'm wearing, as you can see, suit, as it should be - and not only today, but every day. This is not a show, this is real. I just try to be something adult. The world: This is look a peak quote: Robbie Williams, 41, is planning to grow up! Williams: Yes, I would like to be an adult. The world: It seems to me: you want to be always another. With 25 you said that they toil to make Robbie Williams as a harbour bitch and declared: "to become a star, I would even naked climb up the Eiffel Tower and on the back write me: 'Birds, shit on me!'" What are you really? Williams: Me! Robbie Williams finds himself and the meaning behind it all. This I had to think through these phases: you go, walking, races, fall down and repeat it until you hit your f***ing skull against the wall and finally understand that you have to do it differently. I am permanently, to try me and question: my career is show business or show business? Is it fun or a job? I sing about... or better said: I sing of what principle? And how I sing it? And why I sing it at all? I sing it for my wife or my children, or for the fans - just for me? I constantly torture me with questions. Williams: I know it's a gradual process that leads me further somewhere. And I know what I do, what I'm doing today. For that I am eternally grateful. Once stood behind everything I did, my ego, to be loved. This panic: People should just tell that nasty shit about me. Love me, hey! It does not work of course. I have to laugh even if I just listen to me. It's not funny, it was painful. But that was my addiction: like me! Don't hate me. Please! The world: Your confessions are now real, or is it just for show? You know never to you. They gave themselves for years right effort, to play the bad boy. Williams: I provoked of course. Sometimes, I was really bad. The world: You have in your time with take that and after the separation, because you allegedly too much to bear were drunk like a hole from delusion and self-pity, and made headlines by all sorts of excesses. You played like the "LAD", the British chav, or shocked with video clips by they themselves tore skin from the bone and women leaked your blood from the floor. Williams: I was like an annoying child. I wanted recognition and that people once said: who can also what. I felt nothing, nothing has filled me. Instead, something else happened to me, and that was very scary, threatening, heavy and gloomy. At some point I said: finally. I quit. I realized: f***, this is now really too much for me, so my head's not coming clear. That was in 2006. I had to get rid of me, so desperate I was looking after this f***ing sense. Now I've found it: in my family. The world: They may be family man and are still sex symbol. If a woman like Madonna with 56 in a lifestyle magazine shows a little naked, she is stoned in the media. This would not go Mick Jagger. Is this not unfair? Williams: This one time is clear: Madonna bombs good looks! That really blows a. I could just imagine if Mick Jagger would publicly give tongue kisses a 22-year girl, the world would probably have a problem with that. The world: You play on Madonna's stage presence, as she surprised the young rapper Drake coram publico a 'French Kiss'? Williams: Well, whatever. In any case, I don't think that you would apply different standards. Mick Jagger did the same as Madonna with a younger girl, people had just responded and said: Ääääääääh, that's a little creepy. The world: Madonna has themselves to blame, is it? Williams: Oh what, not at all. Everyone can do what he wants. You see me out there but on the world. And people would find something both Mick Jagger and Madonna bizarre. Also, I even assume that Madonna must bring out also their plates and go on tour. She must ensure that their songs on the radio played. Every star gets his 15 minutes radio fame, but at some point it just dries out. There's no other way Madonna as the Rolling Stones. I think that the audience wants the new, the next. I'm experiencing it yourself. I'm 41. There are radio stations, in which I will simply no longer played. And it will be difficult for me to oil the wheels, which were previously easily when they said: "Yes, Robbie! Let's go, Robbie!" Brutal, but all are older, people are beginning to be bored. And we look so even older. Unfortunately, we are now even more people – what can we do? The world: You are 41. That's still young. Williams: Oh, really, is it so young? This is so cool. I have no sense of age, seriously. I have no idea how to feel with 41. Not that I feel that I would - feel old to old young. But when I see young people, I know: I am also no longer among those. I find myself in such a funny in between, difficult to describe. Do you know this mood between Christmas and new year's Eve, this time, that is so no time? How I feel! The world: How is your sense of time, when you think of take that: this strikes you as yesterday or when it would be forever behind you? Williams: Yeah, good question. It feels as if it no longer belongs to me. As if that was someone completely different, not more I. Strange. Honestly, I think no more about it. The world: Because it is also tiring, if the past like a repeatedly played record after humming one as if it had a crack for decades? Williams: Why? No. Neither negative nor positive. Simply do not feel. Now I am anyway on a world tour! The world: And every few days in another country, continent on the stage, like the teenager Robbie earlier with take that until November. Do you feel that you are older? Williams: What can I say honestly you? I feel like I was fitter than in my twenties in my life - wedding. I spend however much more time in the gym and pay attention to myself. I live so much healthier today. I have gray hair. The world: There is such a thing as a golden time for you? Williams: The 1980s were quite phenomenal. The world: all say that. Williams: Oh, Yes, but, but - rightly! The eighties were big -! And silly. And so colossal. There were real movie stars and action heroes. Music was so tremendously tremendous! These celebrities were a massively strong, untouchable unit. Everything was possible, we could see it in the cinema. There were my formative years where I learned to be, I'm still the ego. Learned that there were girls. Hoped to become famous, to occur, to sing and to be an own personality. That was the 80s for me this trip. The trip was better than the target. The world: You had women like hotel rooms, in which you turn on and pulled out until they married Ayda Field at the age of 36, mother of your two children with which they live today. What have you been waiting for, what was the other? Williams: I have waited on NAS because it has everything I admire in a man and a woman: a beautiful personality. The best humor! I'm crazy about her body and then, just to look at her, she is so beautiful. And it is wise to what is not especially difficult next to me. She actually wanted to be a lawyer, that was too boring. So, has she stopped and was actress. I can trust her, and she makes me laugh every day! You will never get bored. Know, it is easy to someone. You love your mother, your father, your brothers and sisters. It's harder to get along with someone. I have a feeling to want to be always with Ayda together. The desire does not stop. The world: Now a gentle beat this, and you have just a hit written. How is that with small children, tackle with? Williams: Teddy is a two and a half and Charly six months now. It's all very new. I am of course the professional diaper changer and all that Petting and cuddling. Yes of course. The world: Would your child only with love pampern - not with money, announced the proud parent, Kardashian and Kanye West, as they held his newborn in his arms. Since you already knew: the child will wear only Versace romper suit and Gucci diapers... Williams: Gucci diapers! I didn't knew that there. Because I have to look right now! The world: Why one does a birth on YouTube? Williams: Because we had a blast. You must know, my wife is actress! We were very excited and have just messing around. Abukar said spontaneously when the birth was over: "and now you sing frozen,'." I found that funny, so I did it. I think a lot of people have not understood it as a joke. You have taken it seriously. The world: Speaking of joke, you are advertising icon for Volkswagen. Is it true that you can not drive car? Williams: I can drive a car, and I have no driver's license. As well? 16, I was in a boy band, I spit like an animal, and was only on axis. 19, when we dissolved our group, I lived in London, where there are taxis everywhere. Yes, and then: I was really rich and really famous. So I had a chauffeur. I also feel that I should be responsible for heavy machinery. The past has shown clearly that it is evil to my ability to concentrate. The world: When are you actually the better singer - sad or good mood? Williams: It's my job, to be in a good mood. The world: Everyone is sad times. Williams: Yes, but for this I'm not paid. Also, I'm happy! But, more seriously, to your question: I must admit that my songs are actually not so good since I'm so happy. Is'm just difficult to find something that I could sing. (Sings :) "Because I'm happy..." - okay, Pharrell Williams was super! But there are not many good positive songs. I do me hard to write about positive things. Me is not me smooth, also. I'm already a cynic. Pain is an easier place for me to write a song, although it is also painful. It is familiar to me. Interesting, Yes, it I noticed really even, that the quality of my texts and music has declined ever since I became happy. The world: one ceases to be if one has become something of something? Williams: People love Yes lists to talk about, what else to do, before they die. There is no mountain which I want to climb, no language I want to can talk, no instrument, I want to learn. I would like to be at home with my family, to be loved. And: love! http://www.welt.de/kultur/pop/article14250...cklich-bin.html

The critics had to be expected. But the crowd seemed to have fun as far as I read the tweets. He needs more self esteem for his own songs and he needs a lot more self esteem for the next album and tour when it is not about greatest hits

I read on FB that TT will bring out an album in 2016, too. They usually do not go head to head. So maybe the album will be out earlier or later or TT only tease? I thought about the promise to be back in 18 months. Maybe her refers to promo?

I am wondering how this can still be news, as neither Liam nor Robbie are hot topics in the UK these days

Until now the festivals are going down pretty well, do they? He even snag me and my monley

http://www.welt.de/print/welt_kompakt/verm...-loswerden.html A German interview with Robbie about Ayda, the kids, and his new attitude to work. I can translate it with bing for some reasons. If you are interested, it is the one about the sad songs which had been better...

It is Serbia and Greece. I also thought about Leader, nothing read by him a long time. I think Robbie had never been in Greece

Wednesday and then saturday

they mean that usually pinkpop features rock or indie bands or upcoming acts. Robbie is a mainstream artist. But all papers were blown away and so were some young members of groups who had performed who were interviewed. The reporter they send to pinkpop are often really young and so they were surprised. You could recognize it with the tweets. The prominent tweeters who I know from television who are older were not surprised. but the younger ones now really get Robbie and his art and live performance

interestingly the sad songs are most successful, look at Adele

Great reviews in the Dutch press everywhere around. People enjoyed it a lot. Tenor: many had asked what does Robbie Williams do at alternative pinkpop. He packed them all in.

http://3voor12.vpro.nl/ try this one laura

I think it is 3FM and LFM. They say that the set of Robbie and Anouk (the best Dutch rock singer) is shown on TV. If se, I am sure it will appear soon on YT. If I know more I keep you informed. Marika is there I heard and a lots of people I know from FB. I guess a lot of Germans will be there and well, Robbie is very in still in Holland. No Laura, I am not going. Pinkpop is not depending on age, but some how I am too lazy. I have seen him in Linz. I hope that he gets a good start today, as this will give him the self-assurance he might need in countries like Denmark these days

That makes me sad Laura :-) Pinkpop is one of the oldest musical festivals in the world. The names has nothing to do with the colour ponk, but the Christian 'Pinksteren". Originally it was one day and now it is three days. When I came from work today via train they already warned about the traffic as many people are going there from all kind of Holland. Muse will perform, the Scropt, Avicii, Pharell and the Foo Fighters. They have a main stage and several small ones. Robbie will perform a 75 minute set tomorrow at 22.15. You can listen to it in Dutch radio and I think it is shown on some kind of cultural channel live :-) The tickets for his part sold the fastest.

I do not buy these x-factor rumours for one second anymore
