>Thoughts on Robbie Williams?
Nah, not really

He's got some serious bangers. 'Feel' is a favorite.

>>126910708
...Anyway, here's Rock DJ

Is he like the NSYNC of the UK or wut

Extra zesty Morrisey.

The angels video indeed looks like a guy contemplating the meaning of a song he didn’t write…

Yeah was in a 1D type group and broke off and became bigger than them.

>>126910685 (OP)

>>126910964
Imagine if Justin Timberlake left NSYNC to LARP as a rockstar

>>126910685 (OP)
one of the shittiest, blandest pop singers ever.
Take That had much better songs that anything robbie did solo, angels is shiiiiite.
Burger mutts should consider themselves lucky for not knowing him

>>126910685 (OP)
The noose took the wrong Rob Williams.

Return to monke

If he's so bad why is he a top 5 biggest UK artist?

He's a big guy

FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS

>>126910708
He's between oasis and the Beatles

>>126910685 (OP)

Counterpart

>>126910685 (OP)
who?

>>126910685 (OP)
i don't know anything about him and i'm old as fuck
pretty sure he's never had any hits in the US or Canada. what's his biggest song?

>>126913061
His biggest song is probably Angels

But yeah I guess he's mostly just famous in the UK. Just another shitty British pop act.

>>126913312
Robin Williams

>>126913061
Millenium was his biggest song in North America iirc, the one where he LARPs as James Bond.

>>126913305
Damn she was so hot.

>>126913396
that guy from Good Will Hunting? what about him? didn't he kill himself?

>>126913415
looking it up now...

Millennium: the string part is familiar so either i know the song or they sampled a song i know. his constant head-bobbing is very distracting, someone should have said something. all the self-aware mugging is a bit weird unless you're as famous as Bieber,but Bieber doesn't even do that. maybe it's a British thing that doesn't really translate here very well?

Feel: good-looking video shot in nice Black & White on a huge ritzy ranch in Alberta, Canada with Daryl Hannah -- so obviously he's got money.
song is OK, no head bobbing this time, but still ...the mugging.

idk what to think
he reminds me of Level 42 but without the great bass playing, or the Christians but without the great voice and the songs aren't quite as good

feel like I'd appreciate him more if I were British, the way Americans like Mariah Carrey and Brian McKnight or Latin countries like Shakira and Bad Bunny or whoever

>>126910685 (OP)
borreby suicide

>>126910685 (OP)
who?

They should make a movie about him

REMEMBER WHEN AMERICANS PRETENDED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS, and made that their whole personality

>>126913558
The sample is from the bond theme You Only Live Twice, the one where Sean Connery pretends to be a Japanese man to infiltrate a volcano base.

This guy is one of the most respected musicians to ever exist.

>>126910685 (OP)
He's got a handful of singles I listen to from time to time. Old Before I Die, Angels, She's the One, Let Me Entertain You, Kids and Feel are all really good.

I've even played Let Me Entertain You and Kids in coverbands when I was in my late teens and early 20s.

Whats with the monke

>>126910685 (OP)
Pretty sure that's Rosie O'Donnell bub...

>>126910685 (OP)
He was huge in the southern cone.
Feel is my favorite song. Angels close second.

>>126912067
I'm so amused by Sammy Hagar fans trying to meme David Lee Roth into being a bum who latched onto Eddie Van Halen.

Robbie is washed and hasn't had any major hit in ages
they made a very weird choice to release the movie so many years after he fell to the level of "that guy from that boyband aunts were listening to in like 1975"

That movie flopping hard after the narrative that he somehow deserved success in the US made me laugh pretty hard last year.

He was top tier from his first solo album up until Escapology. It was all downhill from there.
He peaked at Sing when you're winning.
Great live act too. His concerts were great.

having lived through the late 90s/early 2000s, i can sing every song he ever released purely based on the radio play he had, but if not for that i'm amazed anyone knows who he is. i don't get the sense his music has been passed down, though it's hard to tell. there's a paradox where the more you were part of an era, the less awareness you have for how future generations perceive it in terms of cultural relevance. i hear Avril Lavigne Complicated on the radio in 2025 and i think "how do they know what this is? do Gen Z know this song because it's been in a movie, or a commercial, or has the music stood the test of time, like Madonna and Queen in the 80s?"

>>126919675
we're definitely free to say the era of artists being able to become set in stone icons and stay relevant for decades has ended around the year 2000
nothing like this can ever happen again, no matter how big of a name you are in <current_moment> for your target audience, you're totally disposable

>>126919675
I see Robbie as being wedding disco-core now, like you might throw on Angels or something if you want everyone to have a big singalong that's also a bit soppy cause it's a wedding.
On an unrelated point he wrote this which fills me with visceral hatred for a reason that I cannot quite pinpoint myself.

>>126911330
That's exactly what he.... hey, I see what you did there!

i think its very funny how badly he exposes americans. that said, he needs to stop shilling already

The funny thing is he is genuinely one of the biggest music acts EVER. To act like he's not bigger than OASIS is insane.
