Yep can't stand him. I find him arrogant and rude

BlueTyger · 08/09/2018 22:24

he's just a minorish pop star going about his business ... he doesn't do anything except sing and dance a bit. there really are alot worse people in public and private life. not understanding the hate really.

wowfudge · 08/09/2018 22:24

I have always disliked him. He was always attention seeking back in the day, pulling faces, etc. I think he is vastly overrated although I do have a couple of his early solo albums.

BuntyII · 08/09/2018 22:25

Agree with @BlueTyger. It's probably all an act and even if it isn't, he doesn't seem particularly harmful. He's just a bit of a twit.

BrazzleDazzleDay · 08/09/2018 22:25

As a youngster i held a grudge for leaving Take That. As a grown up i just dont get him, hes a smarmy talentless twat.

Sparklingbrook · 08/09/2018 22:26

He doesn't really bother me.

ConkerTriumphant · 08/09/2018 22:26

I still would!

FabulouslyFab · 08/09/2018 22:27

In the day - knebworth - wow!
These days I don’t watch him. Give me Gary Barlow anyday Grin

He is one of the most annoying people in the public eye. It's his relentlessly attention seeking that does it for me. Remember when his wife was in labour and he posted footage online of it all, and it was all 'me, me, look at me, not her, look at me! ME!'. Even if I had had any respected for him before that (which, to be fair, I didn't), that would have put me right off him.

Singlenotsingle · 08/09/2018 22:28

Hardly talentless, Brazzle but he's certainly a huge attention seeker.

treaclesoda · 08/09/2018 22:28

Why does autocorrect keep doing that to me, changing the tenses on my words? Angry

InTheRoseGarden · 08/09/2018 22:30

You could always change the channel.

I can't believe X Factor is still going, it's really had it's day.

Paddley · 08/09/2018 22:41

I'm not watching X Factor because he's on it.

supersop60 · 08/09/2018 22:41

He always looks unwashed IMO.

dustarr73 · 08/09/2018 22:42

but he's certainly a huge attention seeker.Arent all popstars though.

I don get the hate.There are worse out there.

And im quite liking him and his wife on the X Factor.

I can totally see why people think this but I love him. Absolutely fantastic entertainer with a huge ego but harmless and self-deprecating. 100x better than Gary Barlow in my opinion who is a boring, though inoffensive person with zero on stage presence. Give me Robbie any day. You either love him or hate him I think.

GabsAlot · 08/09/2018 22:45

he puts on a persona hes admitted that otherwise he gets too nervous -also has bipolar

ive met him hes very nice

Hepzibar · 08/09/2018 22:45

YANBU. He is a Knob of the First Order.

MpiderSan · 08/09/2018 22:46

I wish they had Mark Owen on instead. He seems genuinly lovely.

The whole Robbie and Ayda thing is so boak worthy.

Mrsmadevans · 08/09/2018 22:48

YABU he is just amazing so funny and handsome, such a brilliant voice .

starsandstuff · 08/09/2018 22:50

If he's adopted a persona it's that of a top-notch twunt.
