Who: Joanna from Liverpool 
How far did you travel to get here tonight?
I travelled from Liverpool, so it's about... how many miles, not too sure.
How long have you been here?
Since 1 o'clock this morning!
When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
Oh my god, it would have been Leeds in 2006, that tour was just fabulous. I went to see him in Dublin as well.

I do like Morning Sun, can't wait to hear more!
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
A lot of old classics, obviously Angels, that's going to go down well isn't it, Supreme maybe... I'd love to hear Lazy Days live but sadly he doesn't do that anymore. He only performed it '97 and '98 and he doesn't perform it anymore.
Why is Robbie electric?
Because he is my all time forever idol!
Who: Birgit and Nadine from Germany
How far did you travel to get here tonight?
Very far, from Germany. We got here at 9.20 in the morning and there were already too many people..!

The last concert in UK 2006 in Milton Keynes.

When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
Last Sunday at X Factor! It was awesome, it was good fun. The crowd were just lovin' him!
Have you heard clips of the new album on RobbieWilliams.com? What do you think?
Yes, we can't wait to hear the rest of it, it's such a teaser! You can't get a feel for the songs...
Any favourites?
I need to hear them all before I choose, and then when you hear them live, they turn around and some ones that you didn't appreciate first of all turn into something that you really love. And when we think of Astoria (where Robbie first performed for Intensive Care) and we heard that first time live it was just mind-blowing and then you couldn't wait to get the album. We need a tour! When, when, when...!?
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
I want Supreme, 'Get on your knees', that's the only one line I want.
Why is Robbie electric?
He makes my hair stand on end!

We've never seen him live before, this is our first time, we've always wanted to. It's like a lifelong ambition for us really, we've always loved Robbie!
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
I want to hear She's The One, I like Eternity as well... and Rock DJ... and Road To Mandalay as well. We like all of them! And the new one, love his new one, Bodies.

Yes, I think it's fantastic, awesome. Bodies is good, Bodies is really good. very Ian Brown. Definitely the right choice for his first release off the album.
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
Oh, just all of them! The ice skating one, She's The One, awesome... and the cartoon one... Let Love Be Your Energy. I like some of his Swing stuff as well, Mack The Knife.

We like Bodies!
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
We want to hear more of his new stuff, but his old stuff as well... what were you singing today in the shower..? She's The One, that's one of my favourites, and I like his Swing stuff as well, like Mr Bojangles.
Why is Robbie electric?
He's just amazing, just gorgeous, I love him. We saw him, he came down, we got to see him. He's just so nice, genuine, lovely. He said he was feeling really calm, he's not nervous and he can't wait.

Angels! Rock DJ, Mr Bojangles, Let Me Entertain You.
Why is Robbie electric?
Because he's mad and sexy!
Who: Joyce, Katie, Andy and Jordan from Aberdeen

Probably about 700 miles from Aberdeen. We travelled down this morning, staying in London overnight and going home tomorrow.
When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
His last gig at Hampden Park a good couple of years ago.
Heard any of the new album?
Well I've heard Bodies and I've downloaded it. I hope he gets to number 1. I'm disappointed he got to number 2, but I think he'll get there though. I think Bodies is brilliant actually; I love all the music and all the instrumental stuff so it is a really, really good track. I'm excited for the new album!
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
Probably She's The One is one of them that we really like, some of his old stuff - like Come Undone. There's not really a bad one, everything!
Why is Robbie electric?
I think it's just Robbie, Robbie is just a character isn't he? His music makes you feel fantastic. He's a born entertainer, you just have to look at him and you just feel good. He's got the full package!
Who: May and Sarah from Telford 
How far have you travelled to get here tonight?
150 miles - about three hours by the time we got into London. And then another few hours trying to find a parking space!
When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
At Knebworth in 2003.
Heard any of the new album?
Only his new song, which is good. We don't mind what he sings, as long as he sings!
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
Come Undone we like. She's The One, Angels and the new one, Bodies.
Why is Robbie electric?
He's a good entertainer, he's brilliant on the stage. He's just a showman. I think he's always really glad that you're there, he seems to be with you, down to earth and a bit humble too.
Who: Kirsty and John from Ipswich 
How far have you travelled to get here tonight?
Nearly two hours by train.
When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
Milton Keynes Bowl in 2006.
Heard any of the new album?
Yes, I've heard it on RobbieWilliams.com - I really like it. I mean, it's different, but I'm a big Robbie fan anyway. My favourite is Bodies at the moment but I have pre-ordered the album so looking forward to hearing it.
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
I think now he's doing more stuff, and different stuff to the Robbie we know, there's certain songs I'd like him to play tonight but even if it's tracks we've never heard, especially off the new album, it's still Robbie! John wants to hear Feel, I want to hear Phoenix From The Flames. Also things like Come Undone, Me And My Monkey... anything!
Why is Robbie electric?
It's not electric, it's a buzz. He's got us there in the palm of his hand. He's such a brilliant entertainer. Even if don't get up close and personal tonight it's not going to matter. At Knebworth and Milton Keynes we were in the front row, but it's the whole being there. People who've never seen him tonight will realise how personal this is because from 135ꯠ to this capacity is nothing!
Who: Ian and Gary from London 
How far have you travelled to get here tonight?
We've travelled from Greenwich, so quite close.
When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
We've both never seen him before, this is the first time! We heard about tickets on Radio 1 and everyone's really jealous at work that we got some!
Heard any of the new album?
Only Bodies; it's good. It's a bit more of classic Robbie I suppose.
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
Let Me Entertain You, No Regrets.
Why is Robbie electric?
Because he is plugged in. Wherever he goes he just lights the space up.
Who: Carolyn from Ealing 
How far have you travelled to get here tonight?
It took me about an hour to get here; drove to Euston then got the train across.
When was the last time you saw Robbie live?
Milton Keynes, 2006. This is my sixth time; I was at Knebworth - I've done the whole thing.
Heard any of the new album?
Yeah, I've heard it on RobbieWilliams.com. It's alright actually, I think it's better than Rudebox; it's a bit more of the old Robbie Williams - which is best. I quite like the third track, You Know Me.
What songs are you hoping to hear tonight?
No Regrets, Let Me Entertain You. Angels, definitely... it's my college song. I think we can guarantee hearing that one tonight!
Why is Robbie electric?
He's beautiful! Loved him since 1998 from Glastonbury and I could listen to his songs all day.
