The lyrics are guaranteed to appeal to 14 year old kids as it seems to be written by a 14 year old kid. I can hear the infectious aspects of the song but this is one of those tracks that's tired and embarrassing after two months.
What does all this matter?

It's still catchy and infectious.

And I'm sure most of what you said, you were saying about Rock DJ too. And I'm STILL enjoying that!!

sometimes, you can just FEEL the ROBBIE hatred trying to penetrate your pc screen.

If you love every single track of his than that's just wonderful and I'm overjoyed for you.
I like quite a few of his songs but not all of them obviously.
Of course none of this really matters. Unless you wrote or performed the song why should you care anyway?
Robbie hatred? I don't know Robbie Williams so I can't hate him.
If it makes you feel better to guess correctly, I do believe Rock DJ was idiotic. However,
I own the single because I really like Talk To Me.

Why? Is Guy Ritchie f**king him as well?

I'm not sure if the following article was already posted. It was taken from The Mirror.

GOOD SONGS BY ROBBIE WILLIAMS:

No Regrets
Supreme
Let Love Be Your Energy
Tripping
Feel

Angels is a 'classic' but so over-played.
Radio is one of the worst singles anyone ever made. Lose the affected comedy vocal, Blobbie.

I think "Let me entertain you" is great, too.

All great tracks, I think. Millennium is my favourite, though.

From the Mirror:

9 August 2006
ROB'S GOT TINY ONE
Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley

PET Shop Boy Neil Tennant has confirmed what we always knew about Robbie Williams - this singer has a very short, in fact, a tiny - attention span.

The pair have been holed up in the studio with the PSBs tweaking Robbie's Rudebox album while he sings on their disc Concert, a live CD.

Neil, 52, sighed: "He does have a short attention span. He'll do anything rather than rehearse." The pair are also ironing out plans for a supergroup with camp comic David Walliams.

"We've known Robbie since he was 17," added Neil. "After Take That we used to see him at the Groucho Club getting as wrecked as possible.

"Then we bumped into him with David and he said 'Hey, let's form a supergroup!"

Better stick that on a Post It note on the fridge Rob!

The official site says it's "utter rubbish" but still amusing to read.

This is hilarious. PSB only noticed the story yesterday after Stats Freak pasted it into this thread FIVE days after it appeared in the Mirror, so it proves N&C read this board more than they do newspapers. The contact music story was taken from the Mirror story, so PSB got that wrong themselves.

It is utter rubbish - the supergroup actually comprises Neil, Jonathan Wilkes, JS-P and a barmaid from the Groucho. The first single is mooted to be a cover of Alcazar's Crying in the discotheque.

I have it on very good authority that the person behind the story is one of the three hunks seen here at Fiction nightclub in London last week though the 3am girls "played around" with his text a little too much for his liking. Now, that's not big of them at all...

The official site says:

"Click on the link to read a story that we can confirm is totally false. The writer has got very confused...

UPDATE: The "3AM Girls" in The Daily Mirror have printed it now, adding another false story about David Walliams."

But actually PSB did talk about bumping into Walliams and Williams in Soho House and Robbie suggested forming a supergroup. It was on Popjustice.

The supergroup story has been in the public domain for ages.....and we know RW has a short attention span....has Neil read Mr Heath's book?!

Today I noticed that the article had also been translated into Dutch, and appeared on a Belgian website. I informed the website editor about the incorrectness of the article, referring to the statement on the official website and they decided to remove it.

It's clear, one can never trust boulevard press... - I'm glad the whole issue was corrected.

The "story" is pretty much lifted from either Literally or Popjustice, isn't it? (Can't be bothered to check which!) The Mirror et al relayed it through the tabloid prism. As far as the UK red tops are concerned, no story about Robbie is too small.
