What a lovely audience the other night..
I know listening to new stuff can be a bit of a bore..But everyone was 
lovely and received it with kind hearts and consideration
so thank you very much....

I wasn't aware until last night (after the gig) that the X Factor 
performance was given such an horrendous kicking.....
Oh well,you win some......

neither was i aware that the roundhouse thing was being beamed into 
cinemas..i kind of heard it being mentioned but i think selective 
hearing must have been in action at the time.....

hope it was enjoyable there too

This was the first Robbie

This was the first Robbie Williams concert I had seen - I saw it in the cinema in Australia. AMAZING MOVING, although, not exactly joyous for me - I couldn't hold back tears for most of the performance. Since I've been accused of being Robbie 'obsessed'

Now I'm really late to the

Now I'm really late to the party... But I wanted to say no, it wasn't boring - not in the least! I have to say, I've never been to one of your shows, I only knew most of your singles (that's currently changing as I'm listening to the albums my daughter has bought over the years (-: ) because they were always getting lots of airplay at my favourite radio station. So I was sitting at my desk at home, doing a bit of filing work and listening to this exact radio station when they announced the "Robbie Williams concert at the BBC Roundhouse - LIVE" Well, I thought, why not... "Bodies" started (no, not really one of my favourites) and the opera singer was wonderful. Then you announced "Morning Sun" and from this moment I was well and truly captivated and wouldn't have stopped listening for love or money... You chose your songs well. I think, I've never really listened to „Come Undone“ as I did then. „Blasphemy“ is a real blast – you and Guy Chambers doing good? It's bloody brilliant! „Starstruck“ - wonderful irony and the opera singer again... „I will talk“ - didn't know that one before, but liked it immediately. „Love Supreme“ - never been one of my favourites, but so, so good live! „No regrets“ and the story behind it. „Deceptacon“ - unusual, but yes, also good. „Won't do that“ just made me happy listening to it – what a charming declaration of love by a certainly grown up Robbie :-). „You know me“ - again a wonderful ballad. And everything sung with passion – how do you do that? ADORED the orchestra, btw. The strings in „Morning Sun“, the piano in „Blasphemy“, the horn section in „I will talk“, the cellos at the beginning of „Love Supreme“ - I could go on and on. I've been listening to the live stream the following week, every single day. I hope deeply that in time there'll be a DVD so I can not only listen, but also watch the whole concert. I never buy albums because there are always too many songs on them that I don't like. But not so with RKTVS. I liked every single one you introduced us to – and that's already half the album... Btw, it was absolutely endearing how often you said „thank you“ - as if you really couldn't believe your fans still love you and your music. Perhaps you lost some. But you'll also get new ones (look at me). Message to the troubadour: Perhaps not the world, but lots of fans still love you... Keep it up, Mr. Williams! All the best!

I went to 'Robbie Williams

I went to 'Robbie Williams Live at the BBC Electric Proms' at the movies this weekend in Auckland NZ. It was Brilliant ! (as usual) but you could sense something very cool had happened. For years I always sensed there was a void that needed filling. This time all was full and complete. Behind every great man is a great woman - what a team!!! This new album is fantastic (I pre-ordered from UK as I did not want to wait the extra week for it to get here) I am glad I got to hear it before seeing the show- the orchestra and opera sing were so cool. Loved every minute of it.

Hi Robbie! I am a fan of you

Hi Robbie! I am a fan of you since i have seen the dvd " what we did last summer" it was so great, but everytime that i watched the concert i thought you might be a very sad and lonley boy...why the hell can´t be anybody out there who can help you... so i am soooooooo happy that you have found a girl who makes you happy and will stay by your side ... because i think that you deserve it sooo much

hi robbie hope your ok after your run in with the loose weman, thought you handled it well.i havent blogged anyone before,but after years of watching you now and then i felt i had to leave a message.i know you have been away soul searching and often struggle with the where,why,how's of life and gess also you feel you are the only one who feels like this regardless of your talent and wealth.im a life coach well hair dresser stroke screen play writter and lets not forget philosopher. i started my own journey 6 years ago starting with the church then i started to study pre history the history we dont talk about in the classrooms, sciencetology which i found ok but not graet and lastly i read all zecharia sitchin books which did open my eyes.but still no answers to the meaning of life,gess the more you know the less you understand, ufo's,easter island, gess there is no right finatiff answer. i do understand your quest, but now your back and slightly wiser, beleave in yourself and think of life as a book with each page a new day to live and lov.ps 'oh' yeah your new song really good another from the heart,well done u xx

I want to thank you and

I want to thank you and Trevor and everyone else involved for making this album.... it's brilliant....i've been reading the critics reviews..... the negative ones have got to be by people who haven't listened to it with open mind and ears.... ... i'm a 46 year old guy.... and my 2 and 4 year old girls are loving it as well.... they keep asking me to play it again...and again... and again.... while they dance around the room... couldn't get a better endorsement ....... they see through everything...

Hi Robbie, been catching up

Hi Robbie, been catching up with what you been up to since you got back to the UK, have missed some and seen others. Felt bad for you on X Factor, but understandable having been out of the UK spotlight for as long as you did. I can relate to you Robbie, as I suffer the "deer in the headlights" feeling too and I'm not in the public eye. One thing I do to help keep it at bay is Emotional Freedom Therapy, (EFT) look it up, it involves tapping on your meridian lines with self affirmation, there's one for anxiety, it really works! You might want to try Reiki too, I practise it. It helps to remove emotional blockages and some. Electric proms I saw online and you were cool, love some of your new material, especially Starstruck and You know me. You look happy and centred now and i'm glad you're so happily loved up, good for you. Hope I can catch you performing live soon, I have tried to see you on various shows so far, but not getting anywhere :( Bacione XX

Can i just say it was

Can i just say it was horrible that people said robbies performance on the x factor was crap I thought that was just robbie being himself. I am now 11 and i became a robbie fan when I was two!!!!!! He was my best friend then but of course i did not realise that I would never meet him. Oh well.

Robbie so glad you are back,

Robbie so glad you are back, its been barren years when you were away. I was in Burslem the other day by the traffic lights by the Red Lion and as I was sitting waiting for the lights to change Bones came on the radio - I was overwhelmed with joy thinking you are back but also thinking you are my local hero. Welcome Back Mr Williams we have missed you. x

Beloved Rob... I went to see

Beloved Rob... I went to see the BBC performance in the Auditorio Nacional, it was awesome, your band, the orchestra, the choirs, everything around was working in the perfect way for the greatest person: you. You did your best, I could feel it, even when I saw you just in a screen, I enjoyed it so much, it wasn't enough I left the place with a big smile and it stills on me, I can´t wait until November 9th, to have the CD. I hope you'll come to Mexico soon. It will be a pleasure to have you here. Congratulations, you still being simply the best!!!

Hi ya robbie, me and my mate

Hi ya robbie, me and my mate think your music is catchy and we like it. I also think that jesus did die for you. Otherwise, you may not have written 'Bodies'. The bit abt jesus sticks out to me because i'm currently completely obsessed with space, time and planet earth. who are we, where did we come from. Why did god make us? Stephen Hawkins explains it better than me. xxx
