I have just been listining to robbies version of we will rock you at live 8 is that Freddie Voice doing the We will We Will Rock You At the end anyone else noticed this. |

He tried to wear the same clothes Freddie wore. But he looked ridiculous. How did Robbie think that he could be like Freddie that day. It's impossible. If we watch Freddie at Live Aid, he used the best clothes of the event. Just look at him. (Well, Freddie is beautiful all the time) But if we notice, Freddie was amazing that Saturday, July 13th. Nobody looked so good and hot like Freddie did. But in Live 8 with Robbie Williams was an abomination. You can sing a Queen song, i accept that, but dress like Freddie or try to imitate one of the guys of the band, it's not fair. |

Robbie was not an abomination....you are way too defensive of all things FM!!! i bet if Fred got up on stage and farted for 20 mins you'd still say it was a great performance |

As Martin pointed out, Freddie wore a white vest and jeans, his leather silver studded arm bracelet and sneakers. Robbie wore a tux coat with tails over BLUE jeans, and a craveat tied around his neck. Were you watching the same Robbie Williams' Live 8 performance we were watching?????? |

Well that's your point of view, i have mine |
Sharron .G 31.08.2005 22:35 |
Freddie had on a white wife beater, not a vest. |
john bodega 01.09.2005 01:04 |
There are some people, that when they sing rough it sounds remotely good. Take someone like Roger Daltrey or Tom Jones. Robbie Williams CANNOT SING. Read those 4 words very carefully. I won't say anything about his ability to 'entertain' or 'hold a crowd' or whatever, because I don't care. If we are to appreciate the man purely for his ability to make a crowd go nuts, then he shouldn't be a singer - because he can't do it. Make him tell jokes, or juggle or something. But as a singer, the man is a lost cause. I have heard better singers in the background of live versions of Love of my Life (you know the ones I'm talking about). His performance of WWRY showed only a few things: 1. Brian May always knew how to write a song that would get an audience going. 2. People still love to hear that song in big venues. 3. That people these days are so starved for good musicians, that they'll enjoy any dreck. Listen, that performance at Live8 had its merits, don't misunderstand me. I'm glad that thousands of people enjoyed themselves, there's no harm in that. But - I just wish they'd get a good singer to do the job instead, because he's not one. |

Thanks. He was dressed up like Freddie, mostly. But it is a nice thought. |

The white tank top looks like a vest? Someone needs to open his eyes. |
AmeriQueen 01.09.2005 05:55 |
I always suspected that Robbie Williams was a hack, but loved Millenium too much to diss him. After seeing 'You Only Live Twice', I realize that all he did was rip off a James Bond movie theme and add lyrics. I won't say he sucks, but I will say I am so eternally grateful that he is not fronting Queen. When I heard about Paul Rodgers for the first time fronting Queen, I immediately accepted it happily just because I really thought RW was going to front them. The guy may be a big fan, and that's cool, but he is so not worthy. |
GreatKingSam 01.09.2005 06:44 |
Jesus fucking christ. Some of you have got serious denial problems. Ever heard of a tribute!? Fuck me, grow up. Also, Robbie dressed fuck all like Freddie. He dressed like Robbie Williams. But I spose no-one is allowed to wear a vest or blue jeans ever again? Or a yellow army-style jacket? Or mirror-sun glasses? Get a life. And, just because some say Robbie can't sing, it doesn't mean its true. I actually think he can sing and am quite a fan, and to be honest, wouldn't have minded one single bit had he fronted Queen because some of us don't have this stupid complex. Its pointless to get worked up about pointless posts like this, but sometimes frustration can get the better of anyone. |

2. freddie did not dress best that day...he wore a pair of old jeans, some filthy white trainers (look at em) and a singlet....with a prostitute's armlet....your standards must be very low if you REALLY think Fred was the best dressed that day... I'm sorry but you sir are a fucking retard. The jeans he wore were really in style back in '85, (eighty five) and if your 13 year old mind cannot make a difference from the style back in the 80s and now, then go to sleep, eat your vegies or take some brain vitamins. The same thing is available for the trainers and as far as the armlet, i think it was very "freddish" if you think about his performances. And the white t-shirt was by far the coolest thing he would ever wear that day, his entire outfit was a casual one, he really looked good performing and to me he had one of the best performances ever, both musical and in style. |
GreatKingSam 01.09.2005 06:54 |
Actually, I do believe that arm bracelet thing he had was a present from Jim Hutton (I think it was Jim) and Freddie looked upon it as a sort of marriage band... ...so I read in a book a couple of years ago. Then again, I may have just completely made that up. |
Bohardy 01.09.2005 07:01 |
We same to have bit of a language issue here. Brenski, what we call a vest, Americans tend to call a wife-beater. What we call a waistcoat, Americans call a vest. Therefore Sharron thought you were saying that Freddie was wearing a waistcoat. And whilst it looked liked a fucking vest to you, it also looked like a fucking wife-beater to her, and neither of you were wrong. |

GreatKingSam 01.09.2005 09:37 |
Actually I wake up on the same side of my bed everyday due to my bedroom wall. However, how many fucking times have people gotta say people can't "copy" Freddie. When will they learn the words "tribute", or "pay homage too"...? Its knobheads like that and BPP that bring Queen down, not collaborations with Five and Britney Spears. |
Boy Thomas Raker 01.09.2005 10:24 |
Sharron G. said: " Freddie had on a white wife beater, not a vest." Sharron, don't say things like that. Next thing we know, Queenonline will have Freddie's outfit listed as "the FIRST time a performer wore a wifebeater on stage", and list Freddie as the inventor of the wifebeater, a word that didn't really become part of the lexicon until the look of Eminem popularized it. |

This subject is definitely from been there and done that bin but Robbie doesn't IMHO have a freaking third of FM's talent! No saying he's not talented just not AS talented. |

" I actually think he can sing and am quite a fan" Heh. "...people these days are so starved for good musicians, that they'll enjoy any dreck." Double heh. It's bad form to laugh at myself, but I don't care. Look. Robbie Williams has some pretty songs in his repertoire. And if he entertains people, then his worth is more than proven, because no matter how shitty a singer he is, people have had a good time. I was merely lamenting that someone better couldn't do it instead. |

Get Over It!Well I have 2 opinions of Robbie's Live 8 performance. 1) I still think he sucked ass doing WWRY (just my opinion) 2) However, when performing his OWN songs, Let Me Entertain You, and ESPECIALLY Angels...he all but brought down the house, (and I LOVED that part)! I still say that if he would stop trying to copy, cover, whatever you want to call it, Freddie/Queen, and just be his own man, his own artist, he's no Freddie in terms of genuis, but Robbie IS very talented, and a very good live showman/performer, as well as... ...a talented singer/songwriter as he writes or co-writes all his own songs...something most ex-boy band singers never learn to do. I was extremely taken with all of his Live 8 performance with the exception of WWRY. I also liked his outfit which WAS different thatn Freddie's and original. Nice touch of the tux like coat with tails and the cravat. Robbie had all of Hyde Park cheering and clapping, no small or easy thing. Geez, they BOOED Mariah Carey earlier and she's the #1 selling artist this summer in both the UK and the USA. He really knew how to work the crowd and interact with them, get them involved, go into the crowd, and also..preen for the cameras. Also..OMG..who'd a thought..Robbie was gracious and ended by saying ''God Bless Mide Ure and Bob Geldof.'' OMG!!!! |

The problem with RW and Queen is simple, RW does not belong in their league. Queen fans simply don't want to see this cracker up on stage, trying to be Freddie. Williams doesn't suck overall, but compared to Queen, he sucks big time!!! |

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Robbie is a fantastic performer and on that basis he is easily on a par with Freddie for grabbing the audience by its collective balls and giving them two hours' fantastic entertainment. As for the imitating Freddie argument, what he wore, what he did with his mike stand .... *yawn* |

Freddie wore casual crap. He looked great and smart because he effervecsed charisma, bravado,etc...which made him appear to look great,and yes, his bravado and showmanship had him carry off that casual look with flair. But well dressed? Maybe for going to the pub getting fish & chips. Bono and Paul Young both wore designer suits with period piece type flouncy ''Wuthering Heights''as I put it since I don't know the actual designer name for it, men's designer blouse shirts with suit/coats, trousers, and upscale boots. Cripers...even Paul McCartney, Sting, Phil Collins, and Eric Clapton wore nice men's shirt/blouses with slacks. Bob Geldof wore jeans but with a blouse/shirt. You definitely need some fashion assistance and judgement....PRONTO!!!!! Get the fashion police!!!! |
Boy Thomas Raker 01.09.2005 17:55 |
Sorry Mrs. Taylor, have to disagree with you on your statement. Freddie's legend was cemented at Live Aid simply for the fact that it wasn't a Queen audience he won over, it was a crowd who probably contained a pretty high number of 80s music fans who thought Queen were 70s dinosaurs. The energy and effort he put force that day were freakish. He literally won the crowd over, his voice was enormous. I've heard Billy Joel and Phil Collins try to do their variation of Freddie's crowd exercises and their voices were thinner than Lindsay Lohan after a two week coke binge. Robbie Williams voice is scrawny also, but I will give him credit for trying as he would suck his own cock if he felt that he'd win a crowd over. Bottom line is he tries way too hard, but he's a good showman. But in Freddie's league? Please. Just shows how far standards have fallen. Next thing you know Constantine form American Idol will be in Freddie's league as a singer for his version of Bo Rhap. |
