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 think Chaka was cut out of it but she's amazing so ...

HappyLittleCloud · 01/01/2017 01:16

MsJuniper great screen cap! His facial expression! Hahaha!

TinselTwins · 01/01/2017 01:18

The way he talks about the fans he's shagged is vile! He talks about his conquests as if they're disposable beings with no purpose outside of being his fuck-puppets. I cannot understand why people keep feeding his ego

I cringed for him the last time that he was on the Graham Norton Show.
#uncomfortable...

Watched five mins..awful... Hand in trousers...ugh..and what were the dancers costumes like...awful too. Generally I didn't like it!!

JasperPotato · 01/01/2017 01:21

YADNBU. He's had an extraordinary career for a guy who can't sing. He looks like a creep, he comes across as a massive, massive twat. I cannot understand how he has ever been considered relevant.

WanderingNotLost · 01/01/2017 01:22

My work had a company party with a 45 minutes private set from him. He did put on a good show...

FannyCradock · 01/01/2017 01:23

Yanbu, can't stand him and didn't watch him.

HappyLittleCloud · 01/01/2017 01:27

Hand in trousers? Before or after he started touching the fans? Shock

Someone pass the antibac!

WicksEnd · 01/01/2017 01:27

We switched off after he flipped the bird, got his pants out and groped his crotch. I'm no prude but just found him revolting. What an utter wanker. He's being broadcast into 1000's of people's living rooms and thinks showing his pants is rock n roll. Odious twat.

RTKangaSANTAMummy · 01/01/2017 01:27

MsJuniper I noticed that too and his face but wasn't quick enough to take photo (mind you in a way I don't blame him but he maybe should have done it with his back to the crowd)

NotStoppedAllDay · 01/01/2017 01:31

So who would you all prefer? I'm intrigued....

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 01/01/2017 01:34

I saw him with take that at Wembley and he was Incredible!! He's such a showman...

Tonight, (and recently...!) looks bloated and drugged up... but I think it's unfair to say he's always been that way. He was one of the best performers of my generation... back in the day Wink

PickAChew · 01/01/2017 01:36

I junk he's quite immature. I think it was quite telling when Chris Evans was reminding him of his responsibilities as a new dad, live, on his radio show, a few years ago.

PickAChew · 01/01/2017 01:40

As for chaka khan, I do hope she wasn't planning on launching a foundation garment range based on tonight's outfit. Even her seemingly miraculously supported norms had a case of quad boob under nearby lights and cameras. And let's just forget the knickers. (Something you really should get right with such a statement outfit)

FloweryTwat · 01/01/2017 01:42

I saw him about ,erm, 12 years ago and he was shocking - really lost all interest in him. Now Basement Jaxx who were one of his support acts were amazing, and imo completely overshadowed RW and him singing Angels.

Ledkr · 01/01/2017 01:43

I used to be a backing singer and once had an audition fur a Robbie tribute act. They asked me my favourite track and in my youngness I said "i don't really like him to be honest"
I still got the gif tho Grin

Simonneilsbeard · 01/01/2017 01:43

He is awful. That angels song is honestly the most overplayed garbage and he's a talentless, arrogant twat.
when he actually videoed himself while in the labour ward when his wife was in labour I couldn't even see the funny side..it was so self absorbed.

JanetStWalker · 01/01/2017 01:45

He's not George Michael, sadly

IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes · 01/01/2017 01:51

YANBU. Untalented charmless cunt. Our opinions won't affect him though as he's his own biggest fan.

38cody · 01/01/2017 01:55

Still love him

OliviaBensonOnAGoodDay · 01/01/2017 01:55

Me and DP were Shock when he got out the hand disinfectant after shaking hands during auld Lang syne. What was he thinking?!

EstelleRoberts · 01/01/2017 01:58

Robbie looked like Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash tonight. Can't stand him.

TinselTwins · 01/01/2017 02:03

Still love him

Why though? I know lots of people who seem to think that whatever he does is just him being a lovable cheeky rascal, even if he's being hideously narcissistic during his wife's labour, or talking about women like they're disposable sex dolls. Is there anything he could do that'ld change your mind about him or does he have an amnesty for all things under the heading of "cheeky chappy"?
