no he wasn't down to his last million in 2002, he was when he left TT.

regarding the Rich List he is richer than David and Victoria put together. :o Scotty, he had a fortune of 15 million before the Swing album was released. Well, that was what was reported on Parkinson. With court cases against him after he left TT he nearly was left rock bottom and not allowed to put anything out for a year, it was getting worrying times, probably he was down to his last million. Robbie did not earn that much while he was in TT. Gary did though. So the estimate is what Jupiter is saying around about 90 million. This year it should go sky high :wacko: . Touring and song writing is where he will make the money. Oh yes, on the release of Rudebox he will get another payment from EMI too and if he sells 5 million he will get a bonus on top of that. :yahoo: :yahoo:

you know what? It is nice to know that your song choices are the same as mine. I have been questioning myself if I am losing the plot by prefering his newer material over his older, commercial 'hits'. I have, until now, thought I was alone in not liking Millenium, Rock DJ, She's the One. I love most of the IC tracks, Tripping, Ghosts, Make Me Pure, Random Acts of Kindness and I am enjoying listening to his new songs on Rudebox. :cheer: :heart: :cheer: Most of the people at MK went wild for his old stuff whereas I am very much going wild for his new material, wish they would be more accepting of his new songs and his experimentation.. But no, he has got to perform Rock DJ. Does my head in. :blink:

I absolutely love The Actor, why the hell this was not considered as a single heaven knows. I prefer it to Kiss Me. Not too keen on that one. It is so not Robbie. I miss the edgy lyrics and the stronger melody lines that Robbie produces. Perfect example is The Actor. If I recall, although not quite sure. He wrote it. Loving what I am hearing. But whether it will replace IC in my car stereo which has been played constantly since it's release, I don't know. I expect it will take it's place. For me, Rudebox is far better than Rock DJ. If Robbie released Rudebox in the same year as Rock DJ, it would have been a classic too. I loved it LIVE far more than Rock DJ, the vibe and beat is great and Robbie was fantastic performing it. Looking forward to the new album.

do you think we should thank Victoria? LOL the picture certainly put a skip in my step this morning. The online picture is great, even better though in the actual paper. A NICE BIG PICCY OF ROBBIE SMILING. :heart:

Sparke, please buy it a week after Rudebox is released :D well, maybe after two weeks after Rudebox is released.

Bloody typical EMI isn't it? geez, they make me :puke2: Honestly, their timing is sh$t. BTW what is worse I like JT latest song better than Sexyback. b&%£er.

thanks for the boost LizzieSarah about the single. I wish I was as confident as you with the album going to No.1 In the past I have been so annoyed with EMI and their flippin timing. Lets hope they get this one right.

it says on that link the cover to be confirmed. <_< I do hope that is the cover. It is well cool. whoops, sorry Jupiter, 'We are not alone' is the same one as shown before the Leeds concert on Sky.

I have downloaded it off of iTunes. The video is alot brighter, you can even see the pattern on his shirt :yahoo: It was a nice suprise to have a brighter vid. It is No.3 on iTunes at the moment.

pictures of the crowd who did all the texting lol :cheer: early http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/rebecca7777/Robbie%20Milton%20Keynes/Robbie7.jpg getting fuller http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/rebecca7777/Robbie%20Milton%20Keynes/Robbie9.jpg full http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/rebecca7777/Robbie%20Milton%20Keynes/Robbie15.jpg jammed packed :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/rebecca7777/Robbie%20Milton%20Keynes/Robbie18.jpg thanks to fansupreme.

YaY!!! Robbie we did you proud. Fans set phone record MK News 27/09/06 http://www.mk-news.co.uk/resources/images/autonumbered/b/2/a/b2a475c6-dfa4-43d8-a5ee-4c49e936e033.jpg Robbie fans spent a total of almost a year on the phone while at his MK concerts. Gig-goers at the five-day sell-out concert smashed the existing record for the number of phone calls made from the Bowl. They wrote two and a half million text message words – that’s two-and-a-half times the number of words in the Complete Works of Shakespeare. And they spent a collective total of 331 days or 478,000 minutes on 300,000 voice calls. The figures have been released by T-Mobile after the findings were made in their trends laboratory. Robin O’Kelly, head of corporate communications at TMobile, said: “We have seen a big increase in the number of calls and texts made by Robbie fans compared to Take That fans – our customers made 300,000 calls and sent 188,000 texts from the concerts.†Take That fans made an unprecedented 108,249 calls and sent 67,822 text messages in two days. But analysts say that on average Robbie Williams fans per concert topped these record figures by around 10 per cent. Mr O’Kelly added: “Music fans love telling the world about their tastes and sharing their views with anyone who’ll listen. It’s natural that Robbie devotees will want to share their experience of the gig and tell everyone they know just where they are.â€

love the new 'myspace' Robbie is certainly giving us alot. 3 websites, a fantastic tour, new albums and DVD's. :yahoo: Wonderful to be a fan. :heart: I really enjoyed reading this article. I remember it mention in 2003 too. :blink: Italian crooner in SA 27/09/2006 09:21 - (SA) http://www.news24.com/Images/Photos/2006092708394827_patrizio.jpg The Italian singing sensation Patrizio Buanne with Yolanda Bester, one of his fans. (Alan Murdoch, Beeld) Johannesburg - His mission is to colour the world pink with his romantic Italian music. He is Patrizio Buanne, the blue-eyed Italian whose velvety voice makes women go weak at the knees. Buanne arrived in South Africa on Tuesday to market his second album, Forever Begins Tonight. His debut album The Italian has sold more than a million copies worldwide and reached gold status in South Africa. He is also the first artist who could get permission from pop star Robbie Williams to record Angels, one of Williams's songs. "I performed in Hungary in 2003 and Robbie and I stayed at the same hotel, but we didn't know it. "One night I was playing the piano and singing in a bar and I didn't even notice when he came in," Buanne said on Tuesday. "I heard a voice say: 'Why don't you play That's amore, and when I looked up, it was Robbie. Later that night he asked for my telephone number and said he might want to record a duet with me one day," Buanne said. "I was looking for a pop song I could sing in Italian for my new album, and out of the blue I began singing Robbie's song Angels. The producer was crazy about it and we went to a lot of trouble, and even got a full orchestra for the recording," Buanne said on Tuesday. "My managers approached Robbie's managers to get his permission for me to record the song, but they wouldn't hear of it. It was catastrophic because all the work had already been done. "A few months later, Robbie's managers contacted mine and said that Robbie had meanwhile heard my version of the song. He remembered me, liked my version a lot and gave his permission." Buanne will perform on September 28 and 29 at Carnival City's Big Top Arena in Brakpan.

love it, fantastic. :cheer:

Loved it. Yeap brings back memories alright. I can just see myself clapping my hands above my head. I went mad showing him how much I loved this song. :yahoo:

well, at the point of being unpopular and it is just my point of view. Of course I could be wrong. But I think posting these articles are just what the 3am bitches want. You are doing their job for them by giving them a bigger audience than their miserly 2million odd readers. I have stopped posting these type of reports. It is my only way to get back at them and that is to ignore them. You bet they will be searching these open forums to see what the reaction is and if we have posted up their articles. I am not going to give them the satisfaction. It is a tough decision to take and I fully understand if no one agrees with me. It is just my opinion and I am not saying it to influence anyone of your decisions. I know it is all about 'freedom', but I am afraid the press don't give us the 'freedom of speech' when we want to get our letters printed, they edit, or refuse to print when they don't particularly like something we have to say. So it is one way street and it is their way. At the moment they are winning by us posting everything they print. Lets be more choosy. running off to hide now!

every concert I went too was fantastic. Very powerful performances of 'Come Undone' 'Advertising Space' 'Feel' 'Make me Pure' and fun loving ones with Sin Sin Sin and Monsoon. I simply cannot fault any of his performances. Can anyone tell me how Monday went, my friends went and it was their first Robbie concert and I have read that he cut it short. I hope he was as good as he was on the other 4 nights.

I kind of fancy it. They would be great together. I agree with Guy, if this story is true.

congrats Nicky

TRIPPING!!!!!! :heart: :cheer:

Sis and I have been busy since getting back from Leeds. Full report and a couple of scans to follow later

No. 1 in Germany and yes No.1 in Italy. Keeping fingers crossed that Robbie pulls it off here too.

so right suggy, the Newt women and alot of other critics will have to eat humble pie. It was absolutely amazing LIVE in Leeds Roundhay. I was not a lover of it but now I have heard and seen it live it has changed my opinion and guess what, maybe it will change some of the 90,000 crowds that went over the two nights and witnessed it with me. So hopefully it will maintain it's position or dare I say go even higher. He is performing it live at Milton Keynes over 5 nights. You never know with Robbie. So bloody happy for Robbie and Rudebox. :yahoo: 'shake your Rudebox' do the double hand clap, we will Robbie. :yahoo:

you are so right Dido fan. :) Robbie is mega is in loads of countries, where his albums and singles sell by the bucket load. If only the British public new how popular he is. Afraid it is only his fans that do.

The Star. 7/09/06 Pop joker Robbie Williams has renamed his best mate Jonathon Wilkes 'Troy' - as plain old Jonathan just isn't showbiz enough. Robbie has taken the former You've been Framed' host on tour with him and insists his backstage crew refer to Jonathan by his new nickname. The Rudebox singer was inspired to give Jon 28, the stage name by the 2004 movie starring Brad Pitt. A tour source explained: It started off as a bit of a joke, but now it has stuck. Robbie was teasing Jonathan because he has got one of the least showbizzy names in the industry. "He told him if he was going to continue touring with him, he'd have to rename him Troy. Robbie brings his extravagant tour to Leeds this weekend and London next week. Rudebox is currently at No.4 in the midweek sales charts.
