welcome, Fred

The touring is the money, if he does South America and Australia 2026 he may do a break while TT tour the Circus in the UK. I am wondering what is next then.

I still do love Robbie and his music and quite some bits of his persona, but I am not getting any of the business decisions of the family Williams: Not Ayda's clothing line, not Hopeium, not the monkey in BM nor the fact that they had no plan B in case the movie would flop, not the fact that he does not tour South America and not that he does not release despite Taylor and becomes a great number 2 and have a new album next year as he has a lot of material he always says. His personal situation I understand, but we all have to work when our parents get sick and die and it is the hardest. But he also did not see his father for a long time despite he was so sick. I do not saya that this is not all a reason, I only say I do not see any planning or strategy.

My mum loved the Circus tour

Maybe he simply did the math with touring going so well that he can do SA and Australia with this extended greatest hit tour (I mean it is a great tour vibe but it is a great hits tour). He is doing a small UK tour whatever small means and then the other legs and like it is said possibly is already on the next album.

I agree with you when you say Robbie is not that attached to albums etc. But I still think everything went upside down after the lack of success of the movie. It was planned great: Successful Movie, album release with a huge success in Europe and at least a considerable success in the USA and Canada, then the tour, Hopeium etc going hand in hand. With the lack of BM success they already needed to re-schedule. I am happy that at least the tour so far was something he is proud off and everyone I heard enjoyed. To postpone the album now again, might be based on the TS release. But then he might have been a good snd or third and one of the next album releases would bring him the record of having the most number ones.

in the UK, Tess. In any other country they hardly filled a much smaller venue. Progress was different with Rob and the effect of rejoining. In the UK though they can do a Manchester residency for a month I guess and something like this is what I guess they will do.

What are your thoughts some months into the Better Man movie and streaming? Has it at the end been a moderate success? No success at all? Has it influenced anything or has it been irrelevant?

I like the house and the place is beautiful, I wonder if he also has plans as in Miami is a huge art scene and maybe there will one day be the Ayda/Rob reality show many saw already in the making when new music was missed :-)

it must have been an amazing gig

I am still wondering about the album release day. I have nothing against TS, but these hype artist have simply because they meet the taste of the time is a bit annoying. Beyonce then Lady Gaga and now TS. With her appealing to her fans and the general public I do not see Robbie winning this battle. He is still having a huge draw as a live performer, but the album in a week where he is challenged, I simply cannot see winning. But will the pull the album to an earlier date or push it to a later one? I don't think so. I think he will then go with spot 2 and will win his 16th no 1 sometime in the future. What do you all think?

Sweden and Norway reviews I have stopped to read some time ago. They always seem to me as if you need to be the avantgarde act to receive good critics.

thank you, this is a nice review

I wonder how this experiment will develop

I cannot imagine that it is a cover, despite I loved Human from the killers and also in Rob's version
