Robbie Williams is a nutcase
I guess Robbie Williams is to some women what Britney Spears is to some men. So it's only natural that I prefer women who don't like him :-)
When I heard that he wanted to be the new leadsinger of Queen, and really thought he was the perfect man for that job, I knew Robbie Williams isn't quite normal.
When I heard that he'd make a new record, with music like Neil Diamond, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode, I thought he was pretending to be a nutcase.
But when I heard his cover of Kraftwerks Neonlights, I knew he's really a nutcase.
Look, I admired him a little more when I heard that he likes Kraftwerk, one of my favourite groups. It proves that he has an ear for the not so mainstream popmusic. But when he made this cover, he blew it again. You may be incredibly good at one thing, like making popmusic, but that doesn't mean you're good at everything.
I don't like covers anyway. Usually a lot of the good stuff in the first version is lost in the cover - which is definitely the case with Robbie Williams' Neonlights. It's okay for an artist to pay a tribute to a musician they admire, but can't they do that by just saying it in an interview?
