Enjoy listening to Robbie Williams’ Let me entertain you?

It’s such a god awful and grating song

Think I would have to put Rock DJ on the lowest slot of the bottom though.

squigglybook · 18/12/2019 22:17

Oh god yeah you’re right. Generally, he’s pretty fucking shit isn’t he

I will fully understand if you don't feel this worthy of a reply...but I have to confess that I did actually like most of his 2001 Rat Pack album effort. Apart from that, not my bag!

JumpyLiz · 18/12/2019 22:33

I liked him back in the day still do but I hated Angels from the very first hearing, and if I never hear it again it will be too soon.

user764329056 · 18/12/2019 22:53

Can’t stand any of his songs, ‘Angels’ or whatever it’s called is a dirge. And he has become a massive idiot, ego maniac

LoseLooseLucy · 18/12/2019 23:04

Ooh Millennium is the worst 😬

MyNewBearTotoro · 18/12/2019 23:05

I have found my people! Can’t stand any of his songs but this thread is making me realise just how hard it is to pick a ‘worst.’ They’re all very worthy contenders.

glitterbiscuits · 18/12/2019 23:07

I don't get the appeal. I think his voice has weakened.

I can't put it politely but is there anything wrong with him? He doesn't seem quite right...

marchingonwithmother · 18/12/2019 23:08

Well yeah, but what about One of god's better people, or karma killer, or old before I die, or come undone. Or even she's the one 🤷🏽‍♀️

marchingonwithmother · 18/12/2019 23:09

@squigglybook sure you're full of hit songs though. What's your Xmas tune? I'll buy it 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

BigusBumus · 18/12/2019 23:12

He was always the most attractive from very early Take That. And way more interesting during his blond druggie years. Now he's just dull AF.

Doingtheboxerbeat · 18/12/2019 23:19

Maybe his popularity is down to the "Cold Play" factor, where nobody really likes him but like just one of his songs.

midsomermurderess · 18/12/2019 23:20

Or lots of people do and pretend they don't. Much like shy Tories.

marchingonwithmother · 18/12/2019 23:21

As a celeb maybe but there's some pretty decent songs in there. Strong, Jesus in a camper van? It's not all millennium 🤷🏽‍♀️ he's got a good voice

LoseLooseLucy · 18/12/2019 23:22

^Found Ayda Xmas Grin

anxioussue · 18/12/2019 23:23

Yes love it

marchingonwithmother · 18/12/2019 23:27

Wish I was Ayda Grin. This thread has made me put Robbie on though. Phoenix from the flames 🔥

Thestrangestthing · 18/12/2019 23:28

He is just fucking dreadful full stop.

wowfudge · 18/12/2019 23:35

glitterbiscuits he is bipolar. I did like some of his solo stuff early on. I find him annoying (but then I did in the TT days) and his voice has deteriorated.

VonHerrBurton · 18/12/2019 23:35

Hated him from that fucking awful singing while his wife was giving birth episode, remember that? Poor woman was visibly uncomfortable with the whole thing. He would have received a swift kick in the balls if ' stfu Robbie' didn't cut it. Idiot.

PawPawNoodle · 18/12/2019 23:37

C'mon (c'mon c'mon c'mon) OP, it's a classic.

Touchofclass · 18/12/2019 23:38

The one with Nicole Kidman is terrible too. Sounds like a cats choir! Can't stand it.

Instagrump · 18/12/2019 23:40

I kinda like it but I hate Angels. I swear to Zeus that if that shite gets played at my funeral I will get out of my coffin and smash the sound system!!!

Ozgirl75 · 19/12/2019 05:14

They are all terrible, I’ve never liked any of them, but interestingly he was at a festival I was at years ago and live he was really really good and his normal boring songs were much much better.

But in general his songs are ones I immediately turn off on the radio.

squigglybook · 19/12/2019 10:05

His Xmas album cover! I keep seeing posters of him dressed as a ‘Dickensian Gent’ all over the underground and having a giggle at what a twat he is!
