Robbie seems to have lost it somewhat...terrible.
I never thought he had it in the first place! Never understood what so many people saw in him, a total mystery.Tom just sang, Robbie is good at involvoing the crowd when he is singing.

Don't get me wrong, I think the concert is a great idea and I'm sure will raise lots of money which is a VERY good thing (although I also think that most of the forces 'heroes' where maimed in a conflict they shouldn't have been sent to!) but, what a load of sh
it!
Culminating in a dire performance from ex and a current Take That members that was 'hide behind the sofa' bad! I really was watching with my hands in front of my face when some of our best stand up comedians entered the stage to each perform a one minute routine to a crowd that really weren't interested.
Thanks god its over, I can now put down my laptop & watch Match of the Day!

I will hold my hand up and admit to being a Robbie fan.
I have seen him in concert previously and, as a;ready mentioned, he is a showman.
My wife detests him with a passion and until recently I have defended him, but last night my opinions changed.
I don't think you could call that singing, at best shouting - admittedly it will be hard to sing when running/bouncing about like a loon, but his act is becoming more about that, and less about him singing the songs - how many times does he turn the mike to the crowd to let them sing instead - to forget the words to Feel, how hard can it be to rehearse 5 songs to an acceptible standard?
I think this is part of his problem, having read some of the biographies, it appears he is not one for seeing out rehearsal sessions and this is becoming more apparent in recent years.
It took him until before his fifth song to actually mention why he was there - up until then, it was all about Robbie - how HE was England's son, etc. FFS all the others performers found the time to honour the guys they were really there for.
When Robbie did it - he had to read verbatim from an autocue - how detached from reality do you have to be that you cannot learn a couple of short paragraphs to recite?
I really do think he is on the decline, has been for a few years and he will never hit the heights he has previously.
The duet with Gary definitely showed the chasm in singing ability, and I would not be surprised if Mr Barlow had a larger input into writing their duet.
Now, Catherine Jenkins.....
