Do you know who the fourth person is? Beside Leo, Karl and Michael?

Why is Europe clear? I like the growing hair too :)

How many chapters does the book have?

And I thought, oh, his son is singing too :D .

It actually was the right thread. I'm totally confused now. But I cannot thank you enough for all this work so it's ok to say thank you more than once :)

Oh, I thanked you in a wrong thread. Sorry about that. So here again, thank you for the translation even though I have to read it some time later.

Thank you, Alex. I don't have the time to read right now but I will soon.

Is Robbie in the soccer aid video a hologram like some said in the comment? It actually looks like it. He has a thin rim around him and the Struts singer doesn't really touch him when he lays his arm around him.

Yes, that caught my eye too. I didn't know that either.

Most importantly: he's got hair at all :D. That wasn't the case for months. At least not on his head :D.

Music industry has changed so much that a second coming becomes much more difficult than in the 80s or 90s. There are so many artists now because they can get famous on their on through the internet and don't need a label anymore. That makes the competition so much stronger. At the same time the duration of popularity becomes much shorter. There is always a new singer who is more interesting than the old one - at least for a lot of people. When even artists from last year are uninteresting by now why should they bother with an artist from the last decade or actually the last two decades. I don't believe that even the Beatles or Michael Jackson would have so much success today like they had in their times. I don't believe that this is possible anymore.

I think it is always difficult to keep the people who are no real fans by your side if you are quite some time in the business. I agree that these people might not want changes, that they prefer the same kind of songs and the same attitude of the popstar like they are used to and turn away when something changes too much. But at the same time I believe they would not have appreciated it either if he hadn't changed anything. At some point they would have said his songs are always the same and his attitude doesn't match his age anymore and becomes ridiculous and they would have turned away as well. I think there is really nothing a popstar can do about losing some people along the way. It will happen anyway. You just have to try to keep the hardcore fans and perhaps even gain some new fans which Robbie does. I always wonder how relatively much young fans are at his gigs. I believe nobody will be able to keep all his followers when he is over the peak. In fact being over the peak means having lost some of the not hardcore fans and this happens to everyone who is long enough in the business.

Yes, that's true. Unfortunately though because I prefer longer hair no matter if it gets thinner or not.

If he wouldn't wear it this short nobody would notice.

Some people in Germany may be panicking but some not at all. There are recommendations to keep a distance of 2 m to others and to avoid social gatherings, but if you are queuing at a checkout the next person is right on your heels and ice cream parlours, restaurants and our local market square are crowded with people closely side by side. The schools are closed but lots of kids run around outside and play close together. This is probably the reason why more and more urgent recommendations are being made and stronger measures are considered. So perhaps the actions look like panicking from the outside but in fact they only become neccessary just because lots of people do the opposite of panicking and don't take the situation seriously.

Same here :)

We had the first one last year in Germany. Two girls though.

Can anybody tell me what he said was still on his bucket list? I can't watch the video from my region and on youtube it is bleeped out.

Robbies family name in David Walliams' post sure is a Freudian slip :lol: .

I thougt he did the World Cup Final for free. At least he said so during his appearance and quite attention arousing :P .

Wasn't that girl Lisa Parks?

Oh, that's always so sad. My doggie is 14 now. She's still fit with her bones but her heart is not good and you never know how fast - or slow - it will get worse.

Coldplay is big in America and Robbie not. America is a great market that he misses out so I agree that he won't be able to beat Coldplay

UTR DVD is a really good idea. It would be the same like the CD, no pressure because of sales and they produce only the number they sell. Maybe someone should propose this idea to Rob on the Chat?

Why in the seats :mellow: . Let me guess, because of your Company? I will wave to the seats then :D .
