Princess
22-10-2009, 06:23 PM
He must have gone then,you kind of need to see that show to understand the magnitude of it.

Woop!

Btw my thread is lonely and I'm always over here and you actually like TT! So yeah *kicks over to TT thread* :P

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 06:25 PM

Robbie Williams will receive the 'Outstanding Contribution to Music' prize at next year's Brit Awards, it has been announced.

The singer, who has won more Brits than any other artist, will mark the honour with a performance at the event, which takes place at London's Earls Court on February 16.
Ged Doherty, Brits committee chairman, said: "Robbie is one of the outstanding artists and performers of his generation. It will be an absolute thrill to have him at the Brits 30th anniversary show receiving the 'Outstanding Contribution' award. We are delighted."

Previous recipients of the award include Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie and last year's winners Pet Shop Boys.

Williams has sold more than 55 million albums since embarking on a solo career in 1995. He has collected 11 previous Brits as a solo artist, as well as four as a member of Take That.

He releases Reality Killed The Video Star, his eighth studio album, on November 9. His latest single 'Bodies' (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a180558/robbie-williams-bodies.html) is currently at number two on the UK singles chart.

OMFG! I am SEVERLY pissed off that he is getting an Outstanding Contribution award before Take That.

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 10:18 PM
To be fair he has been around a lot longer xD

Princess
22-10-2009, 10:29 PM
No he hasn't :| Not including the 10 years off,Take That have been around for like 10 years. Hasn't he been around as a solo artists since 96? And he just had 3 years off there so same amount of time.

pinkmichk
22-10-2009, 10:33 PM
that makes me so happy :spin:
i just got my friend to preorder me the album

Scarlett.

I like TT, but so far Robbie has made more of an impact, in a year or so, TT could get it :)

Cool Mich :D

pinkmichk
22-10-2009, 10:41 PM
i love tt as well i mean thats where my robbie love started all those years ago so not only was he a part of such a successful band but lets be fair their solo efforts have nothing on robs solo stuff

Princess
22-10-2009, 10:41 PM
They've made an impact! If it wasn't for TT he wouldn't even be here! They've had 24 singles,11 number 1's,massive stadiums shows,feck loads of awards,feck loads of album sales. IMPACT :)

They better fricking win one soon.

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 10:44 PM
Take That have done fantastic since 2006, Robbie did fantastic from 1997-2005 then again in 2009 :P

Princess
22-10-2009, 10:47 PM
Eh hello fogetting 1990-96 much! They were around before they came back :P

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 10:49 PM
Aye...but to be fair...they were like the old sort of boybands then...all about good looks

I prefer modern boybands...they're more about music :3

Princess
22-10-2009, 10:50 PM
They weren't just about good looks! It's not their fault they're gorgeous,lol. Gary wrote all the songs and they did brilliant live shows. They were about the music too. They're just more grown-up now.

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 10:54 PM
Lol, I dont really remember them too much from the early days now

pinkmichk
22-10-2009, 10:56 PM
i do *feels old* :joker:

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 10:58 PM
lol I was 5 when Robbie left xD

Princess
22-10-2009, 10:59 PM
I was 4 :P I was 5 when they broke up.

But see Mich remembers! They were more than just the looks right? They were talented.

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 11:01 PM
They was indeed talented, I give them that, but boybands grew up in the 2000's to appeal to everyone :3

Princess
22-10-2009, 11:04 PM
Yeah,the manbands are much better,lol. The Circus and Beautiful World are the only 2 TT albums I can listen to straight-through. I'm sure Robbie has done loads,but Take That deserve that award just as much!

Scarlett.
22-10-2009, 11:06 PM
They both do, they are both examples of Classic Pop, songs that mean something :)

pinkmichk
22-10-2009, 11:13 PM
they were about both the music and the looks esp cos everyone had a fav much like how it was with the spice girls there was the band as a whole then there were 5 camps of fans for each member
embarrassingly i was one of those crying girls when rob left cos he was and always has been my fav (my sis was a mark owen fan so you can imagine the fun in our house lol)
while i do like the man band stuff and a lot of the recent stuff for me tt will always be the 5 piece i loved back then (although i dont want to see them back as that now cos as i have said many times they work better as a 4 piece and a solo artist)

I have just watched his perfomance of 'Bodies' at the Proms, out-****ing-standing.

pinkmichk
23-10-2009, 06:34 PM
:spin: you gonna watch the rest? you watching on red button?

alc09
23-10-2009, 06:38 PM
I watched Bodies on the BBC site, I'll watch the rest later.

I also watched some of Dizzee Rascal at the Proms earlier, his performance of 'Holiday' was also ****ing brilliant.

What a day, what a day... and your Jesus really died for me...

And then Jesus really tried for me... :cool:

Bodies in the Bhodi tree, bodies makin' chemistry,
Bodies of my family, bodies in the way of me,
Bodies in the cemetry...

And that's the way it's gonnna be,

AAALL WE'VE EEEVER WANTED IS TO LOOK GOOD NAKED,
HOPE THAT SOMEONE COULD TAKE IT...

GOD SAVE MEEE REJECTION,
FROM MY REFLECTION...

23-10-2009, 06:43 PM
In all honestly, I was never a great Robbie Williams fan, but Bodies is a ****ing cracking song.

How Alexandre Burke got to no1 over him I will never know.

23-10-2009, 06:52 PM

Scarlett.
23-10-2009, 07:03 PM
Same here, the only ones who dont are haters and people who havent actually seen the concert xD

Scarlett.
23-10-2009, 07:17 PM
Apparently 'You Know Me' was played on Ken Bruce's radio show (click for link to iPlayer) (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00ncd9q/Ken_Bruce_23_10_2009/)

24-10-2009, 01:27 AM
I just got word

Robbie did a free gig in Germany on Thursday xD

pinkmichk
24-10-2009, 12:31 PM
that werent saying about that they were saying about him getting the outstanding contribution award at brits and that some (critics and haters) dont agree with it even though he has recieved loads as a solo artist plus those with take that as he only 35 (what that gotta do with it i dont know) and he not at end of career but just starting a comeback and the brit award people should wait to see how the new album sells first
then people like emma bunton spoke up for him saying its long overdue cos he isnt a singer he is also a showman who breaks records frequently

guess whos abusing the red button again *whistles* :joker:

Scarlett.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 04:23 PM
You Know Me :D

Shaun
27-10-2009, 04:45 PM
okay so.

Morning Sun - slow builder, I think it'll grow on me, nice brass, it's quite upbeat. :) 7/10.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 04:46 PM
I cant wait to hear it :D I like the sound of that one best

Shaun
27-10-2009, 04:48 PM
Oooh I like You Know Me a lot. It sounds like something from Grease crossed with Sigur Ros. 8/10.

Patrick
27-10-2009, 04:53 PM
I accidently clicked on this thread,

Might as well post..

Robbie Williams is a Legend,Im still pissed off that Alexandra beat him in the Charts

:(

Shaun
27-10-2009, 04:55 PM
Blasphemy - sounds like a Randy Newman/Disney song. It's quite cute, but not anything special. 6/10.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 04:56 PM
I <3 you know me :P

Blasphemy is actually written by Rob and Vuy Chambers...the only one on the album with GC :P

Shaun
27-10-2009, 04:58 PM
Do You Mind? - I like. Quite T.Rex-glamrockish. 7/10.

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:01 PM
Last Days of Disco - hmm. quite different, but I'm not sure if I like it. undecided.

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:05 PM
Somewhere - only an interlude I assume, at 1:02 length, but it should be expanded :( i like it. lots. LOL

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 05:06 PM
Coolio, there is a part of Last Days of Disco I have heard :D

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:09 PM
i LOVE Deceptacon. 9/10.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 05:10 PM
I heard it at the 'leccy proms and loved it :D

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:13 PM
Starstruck - sounds like a George Michael track, thankfully one of the better ones. 7/10.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 05:14 PM
I heard that too :D apparently the middle of the album is the weakest part

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:22 PM
Difficult for Weirdos and Superblind - yeah Chewy, I was beginning to worry, the middle is a bit weak - but these two tracks are great :] 8/10 for each.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 05:23 PM
I heard good reviews from them two too :D

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:36 PM
Won't Do That - great ending :) 8/10.

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:38 PM
oops, Morning Sun (Reprise) is the ending, haha, and pretty much the same as I said earlier.

Overall - I'm a bit disappointed there's no real outstanding tracks (like She's The One / Feel / etc.) but on the whole it's a strong album and I really like it :) it loses track a little in the middle but it has a great climax and it blends a lot of different styles well. 7.5/10 overall.

Scarlett.
27-10-2009, 05:40 PM
Cool, I thought this one would be a bit calmer as Robbie is changing personally, so it will reflect in his music, I cant wait to get the CD now xD

Is there no hidden track? D:

Shaun
27-10-2009, 05:43 PM
if there is it wasn't on the download :p

Robbie himself announced last week at BBC Electric Proms that the next single to be taken from his forthcoming album, Reality Killed The Video Star, is the beautiful ballad, You Know Me.


You Know Me follows hot on the heels of Bodies, Robbie's biggest selling single since Rock DJ in 2000. Bodies charted in the top three across Europe, with No.1s in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy and entry to the UK charts at No.2.


The single will be available on two formats, CD and digital download, from Monday, 7th December 2009.

A few weeks ago we told you that Robbie has been nominated for the Best Male category at the forthcoming MTV Europe Music Awards. The awards take place in Berlin on 5th November but we need you to cast your vote before voting closes on 1st November. If you haven't already voted then head over to the EMA website (http://ema.mtv.co.uk/artists/robbie_williams)... only your votes can help make Robbie the winner!



He couldn't have won MTV's Greatest Superstar without you all, now show your love by voting him MTV's EMA's Best Male!
Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict, Robbie Williams will no longer be performing at MTV Europe Music Awards, however all other promotional commitments will carry on as planned



Remember, voting closes this weekend, at midnight (CET) on Sunday, 01 November 2009, so be sure you head over to Robbie's page on the MTV Europe Music Awards regularly until then to vote, vote, vote (and vote again)!

Unique Opportunity to see Robbie on Monday

I kid you not ! One of you guys will have the opportunity to join TTC on Monday, 9 November from 12.30pm, to see Robbie Williams live and for one hour at the ITV Studios in London, where he will appear on Loose Women. All you have to do is to email your name, age and location to takethatcity(at)gmail.com by Thursday, 5 November 7pm UK time with ROBBIE as subject. The lucky winner will be notified tomorrow night.

Although TTC has one ticket to give away, this is not a guarantee for entrance. TV companies usually overbook their shows to avoid empty seats. That means you will have to be there (very) early and def. well before 12.30pm. Audience will be seated at 11.45 am. Please only take part once and please make sure you will be available next Monday.

Good luck everyone :-)

http://takethatcity.blogspot.com/

Go post in my thread :P Even with Robbie news if you have to,lol! :P

Theyre quite Christian like.

Apparently a lot of people are saying RKTVS is very 'Take That', which can only be a good thing :3

wossy did good what a amazing interview that was and loving the red button best live performance of bodies plus i love you know me more everytime i hear it
i didnt think it was possible but after that interview i love rob even more the twinkle in his eye is back he is so happy and i am glad he said what all us fans said about the x facor performance that no drink or drugs just nerves

Princess
07-11-2009, 01:02 AM
I watched the bit where he was talking about Take That. I taped it and was fastforwarding and kept stopping to see what he was talking about,lol. Then my mum was like 'What if he does come back' which wasn't the best conversation to start with me,lol!

None of us(ie me,Mich and Chewy) want him back. It's a sore subject to bring up in either thread :p

Lol. I don't mind if he comes back or not?

How come you don't want him back?

Princess
07-11-2009, 01:37 AM
Well personally because I can't stand the guy

The long-winded version of things basically is Robbie LEFT 14 years ago,he was invited to come back when they did the documentary in 2005 and he didn't and then they get succuesful and he suddenly wants back in. He said some awful awful things about them after he left,especially about Gary. And Take That work better as a 4,they just do,I'm majorily obsessed(duh) and I've seen countless videos where they go on about how well they work together,with songwriting,stage shows and all that. And Robbie works better alone. He has the personality to be alone. The 4 guys in TT need each other,they're perfect as they are.

btw, just to let you know, he recently said he turned TT down as he didnt want it to look like "Oh look, Robbie has finally fallen, now he is crawling back to Take That" so he thought he best leave it, he also said the documentary was edited in such a way to suggest he would rejoin, but I agree about the rest :spin:

I'm just glad all five of them have their life on track now :D Robbie mostly, as he went off the rails a few times

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:17 AM
And my lil Mark is getting married on Sunday *sob* But yeah all 5 of them seem really happy.

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:19 AM
Hehe, I wish Rob and Ayda would get married xD but Ayda doesnt seem to want to be married, but she apparently still wants kids and everything :D

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:21 AM
I can't imagine Rob married! It'll be nice for him to have kids though. Like it's taken Mark fricking 6 years and 2 kids to get married,about time,lol!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:23 AM
I can see the 2009 version of Robbie married, but not the old version

It's kinda weird...its like Robbie has come back more mature....like TT did lol

and lol silly Mark xD

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:28 AM
It's this thing called getting older Chewy :p They've all grown up,realised whats important in life,it's nice.

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:31 AM
Indeed xD but now it feels like Robbie could go on for a long time, where as when Rudebox came out (I loved it) but it seemed like his career couldnt go on, I also remember reading he could only picture himself singing until he was 35....which is his current age xD

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:36 AM
Rudebox was a bit rubbish to be fair :P He'll be 36 soon! And still singing. I hate that I know his birthday,lol.

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:41 AM
Rudebox was...different xD I liked it, Robbie's attempt at Brit-rap wasnt too bad, plus I loved 'We're The Pet Shop Boys'......though...Robbie isnt the Pet Shop Boys xD I think you reminded me it was his Birthday this year! LOL

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:44 AM
That last thing made no sense?? Why wouldn't it be his birthday? *confused*

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:45 AM
Lol I mean, I'd forgotten his birthdaym then you came in the thread and said :p

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:47 AM
Well it was forever ago,it's up again in like what 3 months?

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:50 AM
Yeah....god 2009 has gone way too fast lol

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:52 AM
Worst year EVER for me. Well besides the tour but that cost me about 1,200 so yeah.

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:53 AM
I hope 2010 will be a lot better for you :) new decade an all that

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:53 AM
Awww thanks :hug: Yeah need this year to go away! Lots of TT stuff soon though so yay for that!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 02:55 AM
I love the last two months of the year :D everything begins to come together...not to mention Christmas and Birthday, but then I always get the January blues D:

Princess
07-11-2009, 02:56 AM
I hateeeeee winter cos of the cold and the darkness. I LOVE Christmas and November is like Take That month so its all good. When's your birthday?

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:00 AM
I'll give you a guess, Take That are doing something that day, and its soon, very soon xD

I hate the back end of Winter (Jan/Feb/March)

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:00 AM
OH YEAH! You told me! I just forgot :P

If it wasn't for Christmas,all of winter would suck :P Summer ftw!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:03 AM
Hehe :D I cant wait, probably wont get much, but oh wells :p

I agree lol

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:05 AM
How old you going to be? I really should know this,lol. Birthdays are always fun! Everyone pays you loads of attention!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:07 AM
I'm gonna be 19 :D, no one will pay me attention though, my dad is off on his jollies on Monday, so only my brother will be here xD people will probably all embarrising at college though D:

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:09 AM
YAY welcome to Club 19! I was alone for my birthday,well my family weren't here and I had the best time! Had all my friends round and I got very drunk :P Plus online people are lovely! I'll get ya a cyber present!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:13 AM
Yay! lol

I dont live near a lot of my friends, I only have 3 in Blackpool (sounds ultra sad xD) I used to have loads back in Burnley

Then 12 days after my birthday is my brothers, I might get Robbie's album for him (he doesnt really have the funds to buy it himself)

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:15 AM
I have 2 friends who live around the corner,the rest of them all live forever away!!!

Oh same with my brothers birthday,his is 2 weeks after mine. Can't you just share the album? :P

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:17 AM
Lol mine are like 50 miles away, thing is, after 3 years those old friendships have gone, and I'm left with three friends, and one of them does my head in! lol

My brother also lives 50 miles away lol, I could be cheap and just make a copy xD

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:18 AM
I have no clue how far 50 miles is.....

And I thought you lived in the same house,so I was like what?? lol!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:20 AM
Lol well, its like, past Manchester, so about and hour away by car/train :)

Nah, he lives over in a flat in Burnley, I stay over sometimes though, we're both big Robbie fans, difference is, he doesnt really like TT :O

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:26 AM
Oh an hours nothing! It takes me like 50 minutes to get to town alone.

:O Like actually??? Or just pretending???

Shaun
07-11-2009, 03:26 AM
Bodies is currently on VH1. *sways*

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:28 AM
Lol it costs £14 though, and its an effort to go all the way to Burnley and back constantly lol

I think its more Gary Barlow he doesnt like, when I mentioned Mark Owen, he didnt mind him xD

and awesome Shaun :D

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:30 AM
14 pounds??? Jebus,I thought 8 euro return to town was bad.

There is 3 other members :P He doesn't have to like Gary,lol! Although Mark is obviously the best!

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:33 AM
it is for a return ticket though :p

Lol I probably wont change his mind, he can be very stubborn xD

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:34 AM
Yeah so was my price :p

Damn that! He's not one of those people who go 'I hate Take That but Rule the World/Patience/Greatest Day etc' is amazing' is he?

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:37 AM
Ah right :D

Lol nah, I think he just doesnt like their music, but he is glad Robbie and TT are friends again

Princess
07-11-2009, 03:39 AM
Hmmm,unlike me. They're grand being friends as long as it stays as just that! Friends!

Hahaha I made them sound gay,lol!

Anyways all this Robbie threadness has given me a headache(maybe its the loud music *shrugs*)

Lovely chatting! Talk soon xxxx

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:41 AM

my album came i let out a little squeal (ok big squeal :joker: ) when i opened it and molly just sorta rolled her eyes at me and walked away :joker: clearly i will be the embarrassing parent
on first listen i love it (so glad i waited for the cd) not 1 track i dont like which i only have for a handful of albums will do a track by track review once i listened to it a few more times it is very worthy of getting to number 1

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:10 PM

It's a hard song to sing live, but it sounded like he was getting the hang of it

pinkmichk
07-11-2009, 03:42 PM
yeah he nailed it last night and he didnt really seem all that nervous maybe cos was prerecorded?

Scarlett.
07-11-2009, 03:46 PM
Yeah, maybe, I didnt mind though xD he still sung it himself and didnt mime xD

A lot of people are starting to change their minds about him being 'arrogant' after yesterdays interview, I never really saw the arrogant side personally xD

Beastie
07-11-2009, 03:46 PM
I didnt watch Woosy last night! I watched Witches of Eastwick instead but I may have to watch it on repeat.

Ooo I heard Robbie's having a single released on christmas week? It's a shame because he won't get to christmas number one. He definately deserved number one with his single "bodies" but anyway I am just glad he is back like the rest of you are!

Lol and Princess (Laura) I enjoy reading her take that facts as well. She knows bloody everything! and spending £1,200 on the take that tour! That is dedication.

I never knew he was arrogant either. He seems so down to earth and such a lovely bloke and of course he watches big brother and does not slate it so that can only be a bonus!! go robbie!

07-11-2009, 04:18 PM
done my review firstly you know me is out 7th dec but i would love it to be christmas number 1 but even without that its a def number 1
i never ever saw rob as arrogant and i have been there as a fan right from the beginning through some seriously bad times but also some really really fab ones
i have had a few non fans taking back their hate of him after seeing him on wossy last night for both the interview and the singing

pinkmichk
07-11-2009, 04:19 PM
reality killed the video star review

morning sun - love this song i think its about his battles with the demon drink etc least thats how it comes across to me

bodies - epic, nuff said (only complaint why is ****ing bleeped on the album not like he not swore before)

you know me - the more i hear it the more i love it plus its getting me in a right christmassy mood def a number 1 song

blasphemy - love it but it makes me cry in the same way feel does

do you mind - this is def gonna be one of those tracks that gets everyone bouncing to on a tour i'm not really sure what its about but i love it none the less

last days of disco - i love his voice on this one it sounds kinda raw compared to the rest of album

somewhere - beautiful shame its not longer its kinda sad to me personally

deceptacon - not really sure what its about really and is prob my least fav on album although i like it

starstruck - love it love the corus

difficult for weirdos - this has a bit of rudebox vibe bout it to me which i love that he not abandoning completely

superblind - possibly one of my favs if i had to choose although i do think it has a kinda peter andre sound to it (not in a bad way)

wont do that - love this its a very classic rob sound to it kinda like monsoon will def be a lot of waving of arms to this

morning sun reprise - beautiful

above all i love the whole album its a very classic rob sound with a cheeky hint of rudebox thrown in for good measure its very much like intensive care which is my fav rob album (well was cos this is joint fav now) favs on it somewhere, superblind, bodies and you know me

Beastie
07-11-2009, 04:21 PM

pinkmichk
07-11-2009, 04:23 PM
there has been no tour announcement yet i think a lot rides on how he is recieved this weekend not only wossy but loose women monday and t4 tomorrow plus how the album does
least this time he has ayda to keep him grounded and make sure he dont over do it
i think any tour tour will be cos he wants to not cos he thinks its whats expected of him

pinkmichk
07-11-2009, 04:24 PM

I like ordering things from play.com :D I sometimes order on hmv. I look on both play.com and hmv and then order something from the cheapest place.

Lol its quite funny xD at one point he has full rabbit face paint on and he is dancing with lady bunnies xD then at the end he does the MGM Lion thing xD but it actually begins with Robbie in his dressing room, and a woman telling him "she's running late" so Robbie sits back and puts his headphones on, then he falls asleep and crawls through the dressing room mirror into Wonderland xD
