I don't get SexyBack either, but as you said there's loads of hype around it (our lovely Bizarre Vicky has also helped to it... <_< ) and JT did a lot of promo, which is why it's going to be pretty successfull I think. And he's also got the bonus of being a US sperstar. Mr. Timberlake is just very trendy at the moment... And, well, I wouldn't say Rob is totally out (he never is for me, needless to say), but I wouldn't say he is very in either these days. I'm not even sure if it has only to do with Rudebox, I've had a feeling for quite a time that the general public in the UK is a bit fed up with him :cry: Anyone know when SexyBack is released? I'm sure it must be before Rudebox. But even if, I'm afraid the press will make comparisons about sales figures between the two singles. Bet they're gonna love this, VN in particular :angry:

She wouldn't print it anyway. Today it's far more important to her to let the public know that Rob smells of fags ... (according to Diana, that German girl who Rob chatted with in his hotel room) :arrr:

A US fan from TRWS has found that Rob is at no. 29 on this chart and he was even at no. 5 on the most requested chart last week. Which is quite good considering it's a US chart I'd say... :o http://www.c895worldwide.com/web/default.asp?page=music You can also request Rudebox there!

I've been reading quite a few reports and both press and fans are nothing but positive. :D It must have been an amazing night. And BTW, Rudebox got the best reception so far on this tour, I'm sure Rob was pleased. In general, he was in a very good mood last night as everyone says. :dance:

Well, it was nothing but rain in Munich when Rob was there. I wouldn't have wanted to take part in the training either. :lol:

Fantastic! :cheer: Congrats to... us LOL (Well, I only joined not so long ago, but at least I made a tiny contribution :D )

What a RELIEF!!! It's not that strange Robbie-less video from the Rudebox site, I'm sooooo happy!!! And what a cool video it is too, lovin it. :dance: Now ladies, that is what we wanted to see isn't it...? A gorgeous Mr. Williams, yummy ... :wub:

NOOOOOO!!!!! :( If that's the video then I would prefer something like the fan up there did. At least lots of Robbie in it. :heart: BTW, just a few days ago I read that fans of Beyonce wrote a petition (to whoever, I dunno, record company maybe) because they don't like her new video and want it to be changed. Well, I saw the video, compared to Rudebox it's not that bad. :lol: I'm praying that the premiere on Tuesday will show a different video, although I don't see a reason why this video, which we all hate apparently, shouldn't be the real one :cry: Hoping for a little miracle though... I just really don't want to believe this will be it. :puke2:

That's what I thought! Those pics look fab and I was already looking forward to a video in that kind of style, would have loved that. But who knows, the pics could as well be from the album booklet. Well, it's not only the granny, there's also a bloke with a beer belly and a little boy- nothing against all those, but I just WANT ROBBIE!!!!!!! :arrr: Well, we don't know for sure it's the official video, so maybe there is a glimmer of hope left that it is not this one we're talking about... I hope I'm not ruining it for those who can watch the premiere on Tuesday, but at least you're prepared for a worst case scenario :lol: :huh:

When you go to the Rudebox site, click on MENU and then on VIDEO there is, well, a video... And it says "Music Video". But there is no Rob in it. Only the granny and a bunch of other people doing the Rudebox. Please someone tell me this is not the official video. :o I have a bad feeling it is though... :puke2: A video without Rob in it defenitely sucks for me, although I have to say I enjoyed the clip for Something Beautiful. But this ... :cry:

sparkle, you can see that video when you go on MENU first and then click VIDEO. I really, really hope this is not the official video, although I'm afraid it is. I was really looking forward to a cool video with Rob in it most importantly, maybe looking something like the b&w pics from the site, that would have been terrific. Now, if the video showing on the site is it, then that sucks big time. :cry: Sometimes I wonder if they don't want that song to be a success... :angry:

Love this!

Well, even the great Elton John doesn't know everything that's going on in the big wide world. :rolleyes: Probably was out of the UK when the kiss and make up was going on between Rob and Gaz. LOL

Hhmm.. Read that article two times and I'm still not sure if the overall tone is positive or negative. :huh: I guess it's a bit of both. :rolleyes: a bit off topic: Mind you, Lily Alan (I don't know if I spelt her name right, but I couldn't be bothered) hasn't only mouthed off about Rob. Today in the Mirror she is quoted as saying that Madonna is the most overrated person in pop history. I'm not an ardent fan of Madonna, but who does she think she is ?!? Having had one no.1 hit and talking like that about established artists. Let's see where you are in one years time, girl. :arrr:

Keep calm, guys. :rolleyes: As I said, I find his talking very annoying too. But if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have heard Lovelight at all at this point, so personally I'm more thankful than angry... :yahoo:

robbieca7, you still there? :huh: Is it a goodkinda or more a badkinda shock ... ? :cry: Of course, the talking over it is annoying. Maybe Mr. Ronson thought talking over it he would get into less trouble for playing it. :lol:

So true. But I had to laugh about his comment "I'm not sure if I'm allowed to play it." :lol: Bless him, he's just too excited about it, like I am. BTW if I'm not mistaken the DJ talking is Mark Ronson, the producer. robbieca17, I hope it doesn't give you a shock, but that high voice is Rob's...

OMG, how GOOD is that. I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE that song!!! :yahoo: Rob's voice! Hard to recognize, but I love it too. I'm soooo excited right now! :cheer:

With thanks to championfan fro TRWS: From this week's Music Week: Dooley's Diary column: Dooley suggests that Victoria Newton may just be eating her anti-Robbie Williams words in a few months time. After listening to the album last week, Dooley came away with the distinct impression that it could well be his best yet, with Mark Ronson giving added chutzpah to the Williams hit machine. Now this should be reliable. Now, why I do I like that first sentence so much... ? :rolleyes: :lol:

Well, I thought those news from Mr. Sean sounded too good to be true. :( But I'm certainly looking forward to the Rudebox video. :dance:

(thanks to TRWS) Green Room Neil Sean- Monday, July 31st, 2006 Could Robbie Williams finally be getting his much needed American breakthrough? His new single Rudebox has just topped online dance charts in the US, and UK pre sales have already made the tune a dead cert for number one. So much for the critics :o Anyone know the source? Is it reliable, could this be true...? :huh: Please, please let it be true !!!! Then he could go up yours, Vicky and a lot of other people (I don't mean you jupiter LOL)

Here's my favourite picture - this among 100 others :lol: But well, I had to chose one and I didn't want to be told off. :P Basically I've decided to take this one because I think it's not one of those that people have seen hundreds of times already. So here it is: :heart: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g132/tanja80/suit.jpg Oops, turned out a bit big. Hope you don't mind.

Susie, I'm glad you like my idea. Go for it girl! :cheer: Let's hope the telly cameras will catch it. And the Robster of course.

<_< :puke2: The damn press won't give Rob any recognition for his anniversary and I guess Rob won't be reading this board (sorry if I am disillusioning you here jupiter LOL), but I think the televised concert in Leeds could be quite a public forum. Anyone going there fancy doing a banner ? Just mentioning the anniversary and a big thank you to our man, it needn't say anymore. Well, it's only an idea. Currently there are some rumours that the Vienna concert on August 19th (to which I am going) will be filmed for the live DVD but I doubt there's anything to it. One thing is for sure, that gig will be broadcast on the radio across half the globe. But that doesn't help much concening that banner :huh:

Well, you probably get the essence of it. :lol: Again I'm too lazy to do a proper translation, sorry, but I can give you a summary. The after show party (at a location called "E-Werk") was for Rob's people only, no uninvited guests. Rob was in a very relaxed mood, he stood behind the decks for a while and he danced a lot. He also enjoyed the view of the Berlin skyline from a roof terrace (eg. "Reichstag" is the name of the German parliament). Rob stayed at his party until 5am. The next day he was seen swimming and working out in the hotel at about 2 pm.
