To severely dislike Robbie Williams?

OH has insisted on watching BBC in the run up to midnight.

I cannot stand Robbie Williams. I think he puts on a horrendously arrogant front, to the point of coming across as disingenuous. Deep down I think he's quite insecure.

There is just something about him that grates on me no end! I don't dislike his music, just find him irritating and fake.

I agree, he's vile!

PickledCauliflower · 31/12/2016 23:46

I think he is typical of most "pop stars".
TV is terrible tonight - off to bed now :)

YANBU - he's a cock

EricNorthmanIsMine · 31/12/2016 23:46

He's a posturing buffoon when he's on stage!

SoDownSoGone · 31/12/2016 23:46

He is very insecure. He just can't perform anymore. It's embarrassing to watch.

Papercaper · 31/12/2016 23:47

YANBU, I also can't beat him, heard him on the radio recently and can't quite remember what he said but it was so self-aggrandising it made me laugh, he clearly has no concept of how it comes across. Also didn't he publicly grope some presenter recently? I was surprised there wasn't more of an outcry about it.

Oh and he described seeing his wife give birth as like watching his favourite pub burn down Hmm.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 31/12/2016 23:47

His new song sounds so damn smug.

Papercaper · 31/12/2016 23:47

Can't bear*

SausageSoda · 31/12/2016 23:47

He's a man with a mountain of issues and insecurities which just make him seem like he has a massive ego. I find him a pain in the arse.

IsThatYouPaul · 31/12/2016 23:47

I'm with you OP. I just don't see any talent there at all.

I find myself switch off/over any media he turns up on.

SundaeLieIn · 31/12/2016 23:48

We can't stand him. Jools Holland all the way here!

ShowMePotatoSalad · 31/12/2016 23:48

We're in the safe hands of BBC2 and Jools

YANBU

Nicknacky · 31/12/2016 23:48

I can't help it, I love him. I have tickets to see him in Edinburgh in June.

TisConfusion · 31/12/2016 23:48

YANBU. I can't find many nice things to say about him.

QueenyLaverne · 31/12/2016 23:48

hate him reminds me so much of my brother unfortunately who acts repulsively the same

suchafuss · 31/12/2016 23:49

Reminds me of the school bully all that swagger and posturing

RJnomore1 · 31/12/2016 23:49

He's a cock.

Thank god.

It seems most people I speak to think he's the dog's bullocks. I just don't get it!

Enjoy your sleep, Pickled.

Same here. Ugh. Rag n bone man in bbc2 is fab

TheFairyCaravan · 31/12/2016 23:50

I saw him live 2 years ago. He was brilliant.

DurhamDurham · 31/12/2016 23:50

He's awful isn't he, the worst mix of the worst character traits. I've no idea how he's still around and popular. And he moans a lot!

Scrumptiousbears · 31/12/2016 23:51

Massively unreasonable. Love him Smile

MillionToOneChances · 31/12/2016 23:51

What was that dirge just now?!

mamalovesmojitos · 31/12/2016 23:52

YANBU he's a tool
