Here comes Robbie! 21 April 2006 DUBAI  Watch out Dubai, here comes Robbie! While, the city hots up to host Pop star Robbie Williams at the Nad Al Sheba stadium tonight with an expected turnout of over 25,000 fans, organisers continue to make a last minute attempt to accommodate more of his fans by printing additional 2,500 tickets, currently available at various authorised outlets including Virgin Megastore and Hallmark outlets in Dubai through the day. His first ever gig in the Middle East, the show promises to be the biggest concert ever in Dubai, with an audience of some 25,000 fans. UAE was one of the first territories to embrace Robbie after the UK and he is by far the most popular international male artist in the Gulf state with a string of platinum-selling albums. Tickets for the gig went on sale last month and were all sold within two hours. Some 2,000 were sold online before the sheer volume of traffic to the site caused it to collapse! Tickets range from Dh195 for rear standing, and go up to Dh595 for a Grandstand view. The Dubai gig will close the first leg of Robbie’s 2006 World tour, which also takes him to South Africa with gigs in Durban, Cape Town and Pretoria. The fans of Robbie in Dubai excited to watch the pop star performing live said, " I am excited from the first day I heard Robbie will perform in Dubai. I cannot wait anymore. I waited in a queue for three hours to buy the tickets. Everybody has been discussing the concert both at home and office for past few days," said Karen, a resident of Dubai disclosing that this is the first time she gets an opportunity to watch a live show of Robbie. Robin another fan said " I am waiting for this big evening for the past one month. I called up my parents in England yesterday and told them I will be going to watch Robbie Williams show tonight. I am very excited to watch him perform live.â€Â

Random Acts of Kindness Misunderstood or Eternity

for all of his wealth he really is a down dresser :cry: I am never a lover of the track suits on Robbie, they are fine for what they are intended for. Training! not on stage. I always do like Robbie in the jeans and long jacket though. He looks hot in that :wub: I hope he decides to keep to the jeans, jacket and tee shirts when I go and see him in Dublin. Oh, and of course trainers. He can get away with those.

some nice live pictures of Robbie in SA. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9590/pretoria56lv.jpg http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/7562/angelspretoria1704069da.jpg http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4903/pretoria17ku.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9053/pretoria25sh.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5527/pretoria33pi.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/426/pretoria49cs.jpg thanks to fansupreme and robbiewilliamsoz

actually although it is very opulent. I find it a tad gaudy. Gosh, I would have to wear sunglasses in that room, but could I sit in it and enjoy it. YES!! a front page news article from South Africa, just to give an idea to our lousy British press. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e341/worldbob/13842d02.jpg

Come Take me Over Baby Girl Window or Karma Killer

I heard that too, actually I am quite shocked that he dropped it. It is fabulous live. He does do this type of thing though. He goes with what his audience want and how a song is going down. South Africa and Dubai set lists will be alot different than his European concerts. SA and Dubai have never seen him perform before. He gave SA what they wanted and more, every single review has been fantastic. Robbie dropped would you believe 'No Regrets' in Australia and put in 'Sexed Up'. it was great! Sexed Up was a hit in Australia and he put in Better Man which is Australia's Angels. It was one of his most amazing concerts. We all sang to Angels, Sexed Up and Better Man and more than once that night. He really was up for it. Robbie is a pro and he like to have the audience with him. So I am sure when he hits Dublin APTC will back in. If not, I will request it. It is fabulous, love everything about it. :heart: I get pissed with our UK press with only one report so far. I thought that the Sun showbiz 'Bizarre' would have had a feature of the masses of people turning up to see Robbie perform on his opening tour. Guess not, Victoria Newtons column these days is more about bitchiness and gossip of no importance. Bring back Dominic Monahan, at least he gave his page some credibility with a mixture of what is showbiz. IMO now we are on to Dubai. and boy! am I worried. :o be glad when Friday is over. Behave yourself Robbie, please. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e341/worldbob/2ef1abae.jpg thanks to fansupreme for the picture.

They are in Dubai now :cheer: from Stephen Duffy's website. I think that is Chris Coco reading the paper. www.thelilactime.com http://www.thelilactime.com/photoalbum/albums/2006/dubai_sunrise.jpg http://www.thelilactime.com/photoalbum/albums/2006/dubai_establishing_shot.jpg

L.A. JUST THE ROB The Mirror Kiki King, Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley THEY said they'd never leave Blighty for the States, but it seems Ant and Dec's old mate Robbie Williams could influence them to change their minds. The loveable Geordie duo, both 30, are looking for a property near the Rock DJ's Hollywood mansion. A TV source says: "There seems to be a lot of interest in them from America, so they've decided to step up their house-hunting. They'd like a pad near Robbie's which they can use as a second home when they're working out there."

All bow down to His Royal Popness Terese Owen-The Star My good friends at Motorola decided to throw me a birthday bash on Monday. They hired out Loftus Versfeld, invited 64 000 of my closest friends and asked the world's biggest popstar, Robbie Williams, to perform. Wow! It was the best birthday party ever! Fans queued from 5am. When the gates finally opened at 4pm, they fell over each other to get to the very front of the stage. (His Royal Popness was only scheduled to perform at 9pm.) The support bands were The Wiredaisies from England and South Africa's own FreshlyGround (who were brilliant). However, the 64 000 people were there for Robbie and Robbie only. And he didn't disappoint. Giant fireballs were flashed from the stage, whipping the crowd into a frenzy. And in one of those fireballs, kapoof! There was Robbie. We squealed with glee. He kicked off with Radio and the magic began with two-and-a-half hours of some of the best pop songs ever written. In between songs we were treated to spells of comedy. If Robbie couldn't sing, he would have made a great stand-up comedian. From "baie dankie" to waxing lyrical about a certain Minky van der Westhuizen ("she's fookin' hot but I heard she has a boyfriend who plays table tennis or somfink!"), we clung onto his every word. "You must believe everything you read about me in the press. It's all true!" clearly taking a swipe at the tabloids who have always enjoyed his controversial lifestyle of loads of sex and even more drugs. "Except for one thing. I never said I did not want to meet Nelson Mandela. He is one of the greatest human beings alive today." Of course we cheered him on even more after that bit of patriotic propaganda. He swanked through hits like Millenium, Angels and Tripping, his energy never abating once. "Fookin' Hell! I don't know how Mick Jagger does it. I'm 32 and I'm exhausted already!" he exclaimed after his third song. Yeah baby, but do Mick and the rest of the Rolling Stones hold the record for selling the most amount of tickets in the fastest time? For this world tour, which began in Durban, Robbie Williams sold 1,6-million tickets in just under a day. Despite his huge success and his larger-than-life performance, I couldn't shake the feeling that this man is very lonely. But that could also be the secret to his success. Unlike popstars like Prince and Madonna, Robbie is not afraid to show us that he is human. We can identify with his eternal search for love. Despite his rock-star antics on and off stage, he has a simplistic honesty which makes him a working-class hero in every sense of the word. He truly is one of the greatest popstars of our time. Baie dankie Robbie.

he has a great website. I remember him from Robbie's one off concert in Berlin. Robbie must have been very impressed with him to sign him up for his tour. Robbie only has the best. LOL about the elephant. I thought it was it's leg. I never noticed LOL. Geez, glad I am not an elephant, can you imagine :cry:

doesn't that just take the biscuit jupiter9, that the general view of people who do not follow Robbie in the manner we do think that is the case. Robbie was quite upset in Sydney in 2003 when the press in the UK said he was just a European star and not a World star, and here is Robbie talking about it in Australia. Geez, I bet it does his head in. :huh: I have some fabulous pictures of Robbie in Sydney Stadium in 2003, perhaps this website might like to see a few pictures LOL and pretty soon we will be having pictures from Dubai. You wait when Robbie gets to Australia South America Mexico and whereever else he has up his secret sleeve. You will be able to prove your point :) I bet you cannot wait. :D

I enjoyed reading that jupiter9, thanks for posting it. Quite a different and amusing article. She is so right though. Put the man on stage and there is no one to touch him. :cheer: Really a very good review again for Robbie.

fabulous pictures jupiter9. They are so bl&%$y impressive. Makes you wonder why the British press have not reported on Robbie's opening tour and show the cynics of this world just how popular Robbie is. You know it really gets my goat it does. I mentioned that Intensive Care went to No.1 in 20 countries and performing to millions this year to some of my work mates and they don't believe me!! They still think he is that 'pop' star who is only popular in the UK. Geez, do I or do I not put them right on that. I always like to prove my point and these pictures and one very impressive news review will do the job just fine

I hope you do too. Liamgazzq, and welcome, nice to see you Keep coming back here, we will get you the latest info on tickets. Robbie enwraptures it up By Christina Kennedy http://www.chriscoco.com/graphics/photos/diary/060418dave.jpg JOHANNESBURG – Sixty-one thousand screaming Robbie Williams fans experienced “the concert of a lifetime†at Loftus Versfeld last night, as the British pop superstar wrapped up the South African leg of his world tour with a dramatic flourish. Williams dazzled the capacity crowd with his winning blend of showmanship and solid pop tunes, including Let Me Entertain You, Come Undone, Angels and Tripping. Reacting to rumours that he had refused to meet Nelson Mandela, Williams dismissed these as “fabricated bull****â€Â, adding that Madiba was “one of the most beautiful people in the worldâ€Â. Bantering freely with the adoring crowd during the show, he led them in “world record†attempts at the biggest group burp and the biggest karaoke sing-along during his rendition of Strong. Last night the crowd went wild when Williams came on stage and proceeded to prove why his stage presence has often been compared to that of the late Freddie Mercury. He scotched rumours of a fling with “gorgeous†SA model Minki van der Westhuizen, saying tongue-in-cheek that she had a boyfriend to play “table tennis or badminton or something†with. Before ending his month-long SA sojourn and heading to Dubai on the next leg of his world tour, Williams promised to return, saying, “South Africa rocks – it’s been great ... SA is the world’s best kept secretâ€Â. http://www.chriscoco.com/graphics/photos/diary/060418crowd.jpg thanks to Chris Coco touring part of Robbie's band. http://www.chriscoco.com/newsframeset.html click on journal to get his views of what is what on tour.

what a load of b%£+&ks can you imagine any one of the clergy who made the comments actually sat down on Easter Sunday to watch Derren Brown last night :cry: I doubt it. It was good TV though. Enjoyed trying to fathom out how Derren Brown did it, very intriguing. I did suss out the trick straight away. And watching the clips on tape confirms it. Anyway, why does Robbie always get in the doghouse. Shouldn't Channel 4 come under fire more for timing the show on Easter Sunday or Derren Brown. All Robbie did was turn up!! Geez, the press and media piss me off. As for the clergy there is an awful lot more going on in this world to look at and condemn other than a trick, which I don't even think it resembles or comes close to looking like a Crucifixion. I think they should broaden their outlook because not eveything in that type of pose means 'cross' Anyway Robbie looked fabulous, even though he looked worried. Bless him. Admire his individualism and guts.

it is fantastic that 'Angels' always features well in public votes. It really does set him apart from just being a pop star. Did anyone see Manchester Passion? it was a play about Jesus and was put to pop music but it had to be done by Manchester Bands, Oasis, The Smiths, Joy Division. Well, the only exception to that was Robbie's 'Angels' which was sung in the middle of the show and also performed by all the cast for the finale. To perform it twice shows how special this song is. :)

It great that 'Angels' is always getting in the list of one of the best songs or lyrics. He is up there with some memorable songs and with some great artists. It will make Robbie an even bigger icon than he already is.

could it be possibly that the critic never went to the show she/he was reviewing. Probably. because a. He would have seen how tall he is compared to other band members. b. He would not say he did not have the best voice either. Robbie has one of the best, most powerful, light and shade vocals around. Performing live proves that.

Robbie sets Cape Town on fire April 17th By Anél Powell Robbie Williams made good on his chart-topping song's promise when he entertained a 35 000-strong crowd at the packed Green Point Stadium in Cape Town. From start to finish - almost two hours later - Williams enthralled the crowd on Thursday night with his energy, self-deprecating humour and witty impersonations of fellow performers, such as his own former boy band Take That and veteran singer Mick Jagger. "How does he do it, I'm only 32 and I'm knackered," he said with an impish grin. It was interjections and interactions such as these that endeared the roguish rocker to the crowd. "It feels as if he is singing directly to me," said one audience member. That is the magic of Williams who, while a master entertainer, is by no means the world's best singer. It's the immediacy and intimacy of his performance that made Thursday's concert a tour de force. Local band Freshlyground, who must rate as South Africa's best national treasure since Madiba, warmed up the crowd. The eclectic band never fail to impress, and their moving ballad I'd Like was a fitting end to their seven-set piece. To chants of "Robbie", the diminutive rock star who has yet to crack the American music charts, appeared in a burst of flames and smoke on stage. As expected, he promoted his new CD, Intensive Care, mixed with favourites such as Let Me Entertain You, Rock DJ and a snippet of the sexy Hot Fudge. What Williams lacks in height, he compensates with his pervasive presence. He interacted with the crowd throughout, speaking glowingly of Cape Town and our hospitality. By turning the song Strong into a karaoke, the whole stadium got a chance to sing along. He took a swipe at the media for reporting that he did not want to meet Nelson Mandela. But the highlight of the evening was when he spotted a young boy in the audience with "Robbie" on his forehead. Williams called the awestruck boy and his father, onto the stage, allowing them to watch his final song, Angel from the best seat in the stadium.
