Now, long story short - I like this song "Feel" by Robbie Williams.
I've had a CD with this song on it since like 2003, but it wasn't a Robbie CD, more like some sort of compilation. I remember it had like 5 songs on it (4 being by other artists other than RW). Can't find the CD anymore. I ripped this song from it ages ago.
And what I found is that this version of Feel sounds lot different than the official version. I couldn't find my version on youtube either. And his voice does sound similiar to Robbie's voice in the 90s, it has also less gritty spots and his voice sounds less deep than the official version. A take from the late 90s? But the song was released in 2002. I don't know. Might be a sound-alike or something but I am not sure about that because overall to me it does sound like him, although I am not too much of a fan to tell.
Why does it matter to me? It doesn't matter to me any more than pure interest, not that I care too much. My gut feeling tells me that it's fake.
Any answer would be appreciated :-)

If this turns out a blatant fake, sorry for wasting your time :)
I'm a fan of Robbie (well, not all of his stuff, but I like him lol) and I've never heard this track at all. I don't know why it would be on a compilation disc some 3 years before it was released, but from what I'm hearing here it doesn't sound like Robbie at all. That's just my tuppence-worth, I could be (and probably am) wrong....

Sounds like you've got some more insight in RW than me anyway. And I think you are right, the more I compare it to the "real" version, the more fake this seems.
The tone of voice is quite similar in the verse so I can see where you may have been confused, but that's not Robbie singing the chorus! Quite a good impersobator though.
