Because I watched the video. Very alluring. That's why what. <br><br><br>

<p>Mrs jegga went to this concert , she got free tickets and didn't invite me because she knows I think he's musics answer to Rhys Darby. Shes been very diplomatic about the concert every time I've asked her about it because A -shes a lot nicer than me and B- I suspect it was rubbish as the overrated arseclown doesn't have much of a voice and relies on his "I'm mad I am , look at me !" schtick and persona of being a bit of a lad more than anything else and she's loathe to admit I'm right.</p>
<p>Imagine my surprise at reading the review <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/gig-reviews/73564639/robbie-williams-a-crowdpleaser-for-the-ladies-but-fails-to-hit-the-high-notes'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/gig-reviews/73564639/robbie-williams-a-crowdpleaser-for-the-ladies-but-fails-to-hit-the-high-notes</a></p>
<p>I won't bring it up with her in case it jeopardises my chances of having sex again before the decades out.</p> -
<p>Simon Sweetman is a cock. As are the vast majority of music journos.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While i would never pay to go see RW, i think he's a bit of a lad, and his "act" makes me laugh. I remember one of his interviews with Parkinson, it was funny as hell. </p> -

<p>Agree he is a cock and that most if not all music journos are. RW? His music is meh , agree he can be funny in interviews though. Describing watching his child being born as like watching his favourite pub burning down is a classic. </p> -
Sweetman has a real air of musical snobbery which fucken irks me. He seems to hate mainstream music whilst singing the praises of crap that no one has even heard of. <br><br>
I saw RW for free in 2000. The woman I'm seeing went the other night, she said it was an awesome concert but she's from the Hutt so take that information and do with it what you will. -

Google an image of him. That is a physical impossibility. -

<p>Sweetman is one of those comic book guy type music reviewers [he even looks like comic book guy] that sneer at anything popular , he ranted about Lorde before she was ever popular though which is weird . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The part in bold, I'm picturing crushed velvet,</p> -

Naaaa she doesn't resemble Stevie Nicks or Bonnie Tyler.<br><br>
Fuck you've hit the nail on the head with that description of Sweetman though. He's music version of Rattue although unlike him he occasionally gets a few things right. I agree with his views on Prince for example. -
Yes I have. Absolutely outstanding ( Well, apart from the dork from ELO ) Prince sounds like an absolute cock but as an all round musical genius I can think of none better.<br><br>
Sweetman absolutely loves him which pisses me off cos it's more fitting when he is being cantankerous and whining about stuff. -

<p>Harsh on old Jeff there. I don't think even Sweetman could argue that Prince is not a genius, the fact he's a bit off the radar these days probably makes it easier for him though.</p> -

<br>
He's a perfectly fine pop star, and doesn't pretend to be anything else. <br><br>
But that's besides the point, that article was embarrassing. -
<p>Introduced the wife to Arctic Monkeys - she starts listening to "Arabella" and says "That would be a <em>perfect</em><em> </em>song for Robbie Williams!"<i> </i>and I raised an eyebrow but said nothing. When the next track started she made the same comment, and I said (through gritted teeth) that sharing a vocal range roughly equivalent to Robbie Williams was probably not uncommon.</p>
