Robbie - Sincere ? | Swinging Heaven

17 Nov 2005

Who watched the 'Take That' documentary last night ? . Started a bit of a heated discussion in our house regarding how sincere Robbies 'apologies' were . Now Mags was a big fan of Robbie , and still is , and in her eyes can do no wrong . Me thinks obviously hugely talented but with an even bigger ego .
Over the years they have all matured , a lot more philisophical about life except Robbie who seemed to have a 'huge chip on his shoulder' . I don't know why 'cos he's gone on to be the most successful .

I am a fan, but I'm getting tired of every song he writes being an introspective of how screwed up he thinks he is. I think he felt it was beneath him to see the other guys, who really know him. People like him never allow themselves to be loved, and I don't think he is ever sincere anymore.
I enjoyed the show though.
ps: sorry Mags

Great show, thought they all came across well except Robbie. Gary Barlow, you've got to feel for the guy ... but he seems happy now.
Robbie ... up himself and probably the most insecure man in the world ... he has issues ! ... maybe he should have met them all to get "closure".
They were great though Take That, saw the last concert at Earls Court (without Robbie) ... they were fantastic ...

Was Robbie sincere during the interview? I really don't think so. It all appeared to be an exercise in PR to me and the fact that it was recorded and he wouldn't actually show up to the reunion makes me think he had to do it several times before he could even come close to sounding sincere. I also think his management was worried that he wouldn't be able to control his temper, but thought that not contributing at all would look really, really bad, so they recorded a "heartfelt appology" to try to difuse a sticky situation.
All-in-all more an exercise in PR than anything else and I think the rest of the TT guys knew that as well. I honestly couldn't believe that a couple of them thought he'd show up though.

I hated Take That and won't watch anything to do with them. However, I think Robbie is ace. I like the fact that he thinks he's fucked up, I like his huge ego, I like the fact that he's a spoilt git and knows it, I like his "I feel sorry for myself" lyrics --- Escapology was a fab album.... loved "Come Undone" and "Sexed Up"... ooooh so wonderfully introspctive and spoilt Robbie lol

I think Robbie wants to come dogging with me, he's just too shy to ask :giggle:

Didn't like Take That either, but robbie's gone on to be successful in his own right. He's what the music industry needs more of - an entertainer, in and out of the business. He also does an enormous amount for charity through his "give it sum" work.
My only gripe with him is that he's a Port Vale fan redface

Bluexxx, he obviously hasn't heard about your advent calendar challenge, otherwise i'm sure he'd be heading northwest to fill up a few of your dates! smile

For better or for worse the guy is one of our biggest icons at the moment - hard to knock that.

Does anyone know if the TT documentary is going to be repeated anytime soon? I missed it last night and forgot to tape it (left the house in a panic of lateness as usual redface

)

Dont know where in the country you are - but they are on Capital Radio in London tomorrow morning - guess you could get in through the net if your not local.

Thanks TFL, I think they're on Colin and Edith on Radio 1 tomorrow as well... would quite like to see what they all look like now, though! smile

Missed the interviews last night banghead

but I too love Robbie just the way he is ( i kow i know corny as hell) I've always thought there's only one thing wrong with Robbie.... He's never had the pleasure of having a natter with me biggrin

I'd sort him out... or should that be I'd show him he aint the only person who will never find true happiness cause we're just too busy beating ourselves up all the time confused

Anyways... if anyone hears of the interviews being repeated please worship

drop me a line.. I'll be tuning into CapitalFM tomorrow and viewing their webcam too wink

I was born in the same hospital as Robbie, about 6 months before him. (I kept his bed warm!) And my mum still plays bingo with his nan.
Having had more than my fair share of "Stoke Blokes" I can honestly say I think he's typical of them, incredibly cocky but deeply insecure.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I think he was the only guy in my age range in Stoke I did'nt sleep with when I was 16.............
Or he may have been traumatised by the locals who call everyone "duck". Drives me bloody mad!!!!
Quaaaaakkkkkkkkk

Didn't watch it but . . .I do like him . . .As a VERY young adult I remember him as a mischievious young lad always making their interviews that bit different as he didn't just sit there and give crap expected answers
Like daniel bedingfield, I believe Robbie has ADHD - Daniel uses his as a creative force and is willing to talk about it - a great role model for my son. Robbie needs to learn to harness his and not use it as a destructive force - he has so many opportunities that many don't have - I could coach him - cmon Robbie - you know you want me to!

Are you sure?
