Very interesting, thank you, Syd

sorry what are ex-cons?

Thanks Syd, I know that you cannot compare Ed with Rob as they are different style of singers, but what would be the difference between his show and the one of Rob (in his prime)?

Entirely Agree, Alex

I think that are those non stories which sell for both sides

Do you think he had to invest in his own film? I don't think he would take this risk. Either the financing was there and stays or I guess it will not go ahead. I do not even think that he would finance Lufthaus by himself. The risk is too high and he will be the first knowing that his profile s not huge enough anymore to grant success like 2006. It is also very quiet with Ayda. I guess they also have to get out of the House and despite they will not have to touch much it is organization. Really unpredictable in the world and in Robbie world.

Who is Cmat? If you look at the Banksey sell and the mansion he has made 20 million in the last days. I wonder if and what kind of new House we will have in LA. like you I cannot imagine him to entirely leave

Rob is still quite big in Germany and EDM is huge in the German market and in the Netherlands. How is it in the UK, aside of David Guetta, Aviccii and few others?

I also like it, especially as it is not 'either-or' but both he will do, classic Robbie and something different

Maybe it was, I am sure I had the entire concert from the TV broadcast. I also think it is unusually quiet. Since Beau's birthday also nothing from Ayda. I guess they are on holidays as there is Rob's birthday tomorrow. Maybe then they will fly to Australia

I once had the entire Slane concert burned on DVD. the DVD does not work anymore and so I lost the concert :-(. But it must have been available at some point of time otherwise I could not have had it as I only became a fan long after Slane. What do you think? It is very quiet again also with Ayda. Are they flying into a vacation destination for his birthday?

Is James Blunt then really touring? And how many people in the audiences are allowed?

Thank you, Syd, very interesting read

Merry Christmas, everyone

I have watched the Knebworth video with the three American guys especially their reaction to some lyrics and the Come Undone girl. I wonder if this would ever be possible these days aside it is a rap song/singer. I also liked when they referred to his energy jumping all over the stage and still be able to sing. I so miss these Robbie times. Then I was in it and I watched some videos from Leeds. He was not well but still so full of charisma. I am sure he is in a far better place these days but as an artist the last ten years compared with this time had been disappointing different And I am not speaking about the songs or tours. I feel that he is far less bothered the last years.

I realize that there are a lot of videos and promo I missed for the Christmas album

I love the Bodies time, for me the times he looked best. And I like Make me pure. I had seen an old clip from the 70ties on an oldie broadcaster and it as Katie Kissoon with her brother. I did not know that she had a career aside of being a backing singer. I wonder what she and Claire Anad Stephen are doing these days. I always thought Claire was very talented and good looking

But they are looking for Mark and Gary look a likes and Gallagher brother's look a like Wouldn't they then be also animals instead of doubles? I am a bit confused, but as this is a real movie which must cost some money I guess they have at least overthought it...

I thought the same some days ago, Pete was so close to him and now it is usually his mum and gwen from the parent generation. I hope there was no Jonathan Wilkes like fall out. What I also wonder about is if he had 'no income' this year aside of the royalties etc or if he already gets a lumpsum for the movie and whatever they have as consecutive deal, and if LMA is charity, tax saving or also pays of the same with this streaming service participation...not that he has to bother for his financia situation I assume

corrected, thank you :-) and I could not add Mark as I don't know enough about his songs

Good Idea: Take That The Flood Greatest Day Rule the world SOS When we were young Robbie Williams Come Undone H.E.S. (not the heavy entertainment show, the other Robbie fans know about) Bodies Ghosts No Regrets Gary Barlow Let me go Requiem Sing This is my time Open Road

when will the album be released? Have the songs he has published until now any impact? I did not see anything

Some years ago they said because he was part of a tax saving scheme (which I guess everyone is). But I don't think this is the reason. He might no have people strong enough to push him forward?

we have either break up songs about relationships which should stay private a la Taylor and Adele, rap and hip hop or songs which sounds like they sounded 35 years ago. Where is the kind of music of a Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen and all these talented people... (I am not talking Rob :-) )

I am wondering why he is doing this. If it would promise a success I don't think Simon would have stepped away. But maybe Gary an spread some fairydust.
