To feel Sad for Robbie?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Bless him he's just going through the motions.

Half arsed performance of years old tunes, he can barely sing.

He once was a fucking Legend!

talkign about getting old, i thought robbie was far too young for a life time achievement award [puzzled]

but that could be down to my age

he's never been a legend has he, he's just a second rate cabaret singer, seriously.

I'm watching it now, Theres something missing from him, he has always reminded me of a friend of mine, same strut, cheeky grin iykwim. From what i've just seen its like theres more going on than the performance - I think he's going to self destruct.

outstanding

Yep in comparison he's struggling tonight.

sad and desperate

It's the over enthusiasm of engaging with the audience, it seems so false and almost pleading

When he played Glstonbury I almost fainted..to be fair I was very drunk and we were jammed in the crowd.

I think he's always looked desperate in a "Please like me, please" kind of way. Don't think he seemed different tonight especially. Still wish he'd just come out though

and at electric proms

He was very very uneasy then became amazing.

blimey I seem like an uber fan, just have happened to see him loads.

He has built an entire career out of appearing desperate, crazed and vulnerable so as to appeal to women's maternal instincts. You lot are just being sucked in by the emotionporn of it.

No way is he Gay...

James Morrison on the other hand....

He's always looked desperate. That cheeky little boy lost look has been carefully cultivated to cover his lack of talent.

I've always liked the desperation.

He showed emotion from start to finish
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point Milly, but in the old days one could believe there were interesting hidden depths, a tortured soul or whatever. Whereas now it has become clear that he's just a not-very-bright nutjob, not helped by the substance abuse and spending too long in California, no doubt.

He was near in tears when he lifted the award

oooh

I'd forgotten this, when he cocks up Ollies probably dream of a lifetime performance on the x factor. From about 1 miute in..

Though Ollie probably cocked it up himself by singing 'ham loving angels instead'

Hope it was nice ham at least...

i've watched his performance over and over again and loved it.
He's an entertainer, he's got the crowd going- he's still amazing!!!!!!!!!

He was in near tears for the first half hour of electric proms. Must be odd going back to being a performer after such a long break.

You've nothing to lose when you've never had it...

Never had what?

He ownedthe stage!!
I love how he can just put on such a fantastic showstopping performance without any miming, any silly choreography, endless backing dancers, OTT special effects - he is a one off as far as pop stars these days go which is why he has been so hugely successful, and as it has been said many times before he just rips up the stage with his brilliant stage ability and charisma in the same way Freddy Mercury did

Robbie ur AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

I think he was amazing, the best performance of the night without a doubt!!

I would still sell my children to watch him live!
