A nice song? The guy wouldn't know a nice song if it punched his lights out! As a matter of fact, that is what Ì feel like doing!

Fairy wrote: What's wrong about Robbie Williams? He's a talented singer and performer, and has lots of great songs. Even if his choice of titles shows he loves Freddie, then what??? Good for him!!! And for us. He will never be worth a thousandth of what Freddie is, but he is cool nevertheless. After all, who would be??

Zebonka12 wrote: " Artists/Bands with a track called "Spread Your Wings"" List of people that don't care: Zebonka12. We're off to a flying start! "Gosh. What a crime. Get a life." Jesus Christ, you can say that with a straight face, having just gone to the trouble of listing all those people who - ah bugger it, there's no saving you. " What's wrong about Robbie Williams?" He's crap. "He's a talented singer and performer"- Singer no. But I have no problem admitting the crowds seem to like him - this is why I don't mind that he does shows like Live8. He might suck balls but if he can rev the crowd up so they can recieve the better acts like Paul McCartney in a louder fashion, then all the power to him. "-and has lots of great songs." There are some pretty songs in his repertoire. "He will never be worth a thousandth of what Freddie is, but he is cool nevertheless." Perhaps it's a common misapprehension that people hate him just because he's not Freddie Mercury, and that they're comparing him unfairly. This is not true. I can only speak for myself when saying that I don't hate him because he sucks compared to other people. He just generally sucks and it's sort of painful to see someone like that stumble their way through something they're not that good at. He's an oaf. "But some people can't understand that. Never mind, eh." There are some times when people shouldn't pay homage. Elton John is one example. The Hitchhikers Guide movie of 2005 is another. I bet Douglas Adams was rattling in his coffin when the words "For Douglas" came up at the end. More like 'Way to screw over the dead guy's magnificent book'.

Serry<h6>Inventer of terrible English wrote: Is it supposed to be funny? Well, it is not. I know who's singer Robbie Williams and I don't know the guitarist Zebonka. That's it. So you're awful and crappy guitarist, you're trying to play on the instrument that you don't have to touch even, right? No, I'm not Robbie Williams, but when you came to say "You all are idiots! Especially you Serry!" - that offends me, I don't know why, but offends... Opinion is a funny word for you? Well, this is where the discussion is over - good luck in your future life and use this rule ("opinion is just a funny word!") with any man/woman you'll ever meet. (Room was empty, but when you came in - it became a room full of idiots, and you're still alone there... But it's "on a level you can't possibly understand") P.S. Please don't reply on this - I'm an idiot too and not an ordinary idiot, but an idiot with terrible English. No-one is interested to read our stupid fights here. Amen.

Applause.... Besides LOTS of artists have songs with the same titles. Both The Allman Brothers Band and Fleetwood Mac have songs called Dreams. Both Roy Orbison and The Motels have songs called Only The Lonely. Get over yourself. I STILL like Robbie! :D

But he's so painfully incapable of living up to the standards of any of his sources - er, I mean idols, it's just embarrassing. Robbie Williams (and I say this from purely a musical standpoint - say what you will about his 'showmanship' and his 'personality') IS CRAP. "I believe Pink Floyd did a song called The Show Must Go On, so Queen also "stole" things" Meh, the Queen track was better. You can argue about who stole what in music but really it doesn't matter a shit. Elvis supposedly stole from the blacks but I reckon he probably did it better than some people around in those days. It became something else when us shitty white people tried to do it, it's really just a natural evolution. Jimi Hendrix in his later days was doing guitar overdubs startlingly similar to what Brian May was doing at the start. I'm not going to harangue Mr. May for a track like Chinese Torture and say 'YOU RIPPED OFF HENDRIX". Heck, they were doing it before Hendrix anyway... It's all about how hard you suck once you've ripped someone off. Robbie Williams... you could use him to clean up confetti after a pride parade. That's how hard he sucks.
