Ikr. They wanted Robbie to front them on tour before Paul Rodgers from Free did and then Adam Lambert in recent years but obviously he was doing his thing being huge at the time ,that would've been a huge commitment and he said he didn't want to because Freddie is his hero and didn't think anyone ,especially him could live upto that. I can see why they asked him because not only is he a massive fan but has a great voice(which I don't think he gets enough credit for) and is a great entertainer that has a great relationship with the audience ✌️
Love you two! I didn’t realize you had already reacted to one of his Knebworth songs. As awesome as this is, a couple years earlier at Knebworth was when he was truly at his pinnacle. Every person at those shows was there solely for him, whereas at Live 8 they were treated to him, The Who, the one off Pink Floyd reunion. And they were still so into him. The Freddie tribute is because at the original Live Aid was Queen’s pinnacle performance. Let Me Entertain You is not close to being his best song but it is high energy and works great as a stadium anthem. But from his Knebworth Shows… Come Undone, Feel, and Angels are sooooo good. What works so well with Robbie is his mix of bravado and confidence on stage along with that humbleness/I’m not worthy persona. He does cry during that performance. One of the greatest pure entertainers ever that so many in the U.S. have never really seen or heard. Dude is a legend.
To really appreciate Robbie find the video of him live at Knebworth ( the whole concert) 4 consecutive nights over 300,000 fans - he could done 8 nights the demand was so insane
Oh yeah. SO glad you reacted to this fantastic performance. I also love the black and white video that Robbie made of this song. He has QUITE some moves in it :)
I watched this live in my living room in Cambridge, 50 miles north. You could feel his charisma radiating out of the TV screen. As others have suggested, the Knebworth concert video is worth watching. Huge crowds, epic performances. And at one point, he is in tears (of awe) at the reception he’s getting. There was no-one hotter than Robbie Williams in 2003 - even though he was struggling with insecurity and doubt. It’s well worth watching!
OMG Thank you for doing this!!! Robbie Williams has to be one of the most energetic men to hit a stage. He is gorgeous just to add to that. :) You need to watch him doing his live performance of Angels. He also did a concert and it was recorded in Knebworth. Much much much needed to watch that one. A very lucky fan gets quite the kiss from him not to mention a quick boob grab. lol lol
If you like watching Robbie can you imagine being there!!!!? My wife and I have been lucky enough to see him a load of times and yes he was effin’ awesome! One of the best live entertainers ever!
I first saw Robbie when he had just left take that…. Middlesbrough town hall with a small crowd… he was amazing … he is a natural performer and has continued to entertain me at least 10 times the last time at Wembley Jan 2020 x
I love Robbie his concerts have always been energetic, charismatic. Check out Take That Everything changes Robbie is sooo cute back then. Their first official video was Do What You Like, the end up naked on the floor with a mop.! Hilarious.
Watch the Netflix documentary about Robbie Williams and you will find out why he is not big in America. But he is BIGGGG in all Europe. And he wants to keeep like it is. See why in Netflix. I saw him twice in Lisbon and I can tell you: he is the best entertainer ever. Incredible songs. Incredible band, with 16 people.
The Hyde Park Live 8 charity gig had some very famous people on before Robbie, but he stole the show with his energy. The last two songs in his set, Feel & Angels had the whole crowd singing in full voice.
YESSSSSSS - Love that you are reacting to RW and enjoying his music. He has come along way since Do what you like, and can perform diff types of music - pop, rock, swing and he can MC too. Any of his live stuff is a great watch
Pleased he never stayed in USA years ago. Brutally, no place away from home with an addiction A good lad.Hope he sits on a chair in 20 years time and sings. X
I’ve seen Robbie many times and as always he never fails to entertain. He started his career with a band called Take that who were the most successful boy band in the UK/Europe in the 90s, they split up and came back in 2006. Robbie left the band in 1995 and rejoined for one album called Progress in 2010. There’s a song on that album called ‘the flood’ the live version of the flood can be found by searching ‘the flood-progress live’ definitely worth a watch xx
I was front row centre on the barrier for this show. The longest most incredible gig ever. Robbie, Madonna, U2, McCartney. George Michael, Mariah, Snoop, The Who, Pink Floyd, Elton, Coldplay, the Killers, Dido, Annie Lennox… amazing.
I saw Robbie in 99 at the V Festival. I was determined to hate him but he totally won me over, the guy has so much charisma its unreal and I don't care who you are, 50,000 people singing Angels transcends a normal gig experience.
This guy has been through a lot in his life his albums from this time bought me out of a deep depression I was in he is the best entertainer of all time
Was just going to comment on a previous post of yours ("Crunchy Granola Suite") that Robbie can entertain and work a crowd like Neil Diamond and here he is doing just that.
Just FYI, the female bass player for Robbie, Yolande Charles, is the same bass player that you loved in your post of Paul Weller singing "5th Season"....she's a fine bass player, and you can hear that bass when she plays "No Regrets"
Not the only song of Queen's he covered. He also released a version of 'We Are The Champions' for the movie 'A Knights Tale' which is a Heath Ledger film. He was one of the biggest entertains on the planet not so long ago but didn't really break into the American music scene ( mostly through choice ) His 'No Regrets' & 'Supreme' tracks are amazing!!
Robbie got the biggest pop, and legends like the who and Paul McCartney performed among many more. That should tell people something about how good this man was at his peak
Now a bit of info you didn’t know is - Brain May and Roger Taylor of Queen actually approached Robbie with the offer to sing with Queen in 2001 - he’d actually recorded a new version of “We Are The Champions” for a film (can’t remember the name of it) but he ended up turning them down.
Funny that you would mention that you'd think Ewan McGregor would play Robbie in a movie about him as it was just a few days ago I came across a clip of the two of them singing together at a charity event! They both definitely have charisma!
Gotta love Robbie Williams! Listen I am a Thrasher metal-head mostly. Robbie gets me every time! He knows how to ROCK! I mean he may only dabble in hard rock at most (well Karma Killer is pretty fucking Metal), but he has the fire and attitude of Metal! You should see his live performance of Let Me Entertain You when he comes down in an upside down cross pose hanging from a fucking helicopter to the stage!!!
The purpose of this entire concert …. On the 8th July the G8 summit ended and the leaders pledged to increase the aid to Africa from $25 billion to $50 billion by 2010. The concerts were held around the 20th anniversary of Live Aid in 1985. The Live 8 project was launched on 31st May 2005 by Bob Geldof with the aim to raise awareness of issues in Africa.
A true missing for America not to have understood what a phenomenal, versatile artist he had before him. however, if you want to give us your splendid reaction, on the subject of Queen, I propose the Robbie Williams + Queen cover of We are the Champion created for a film
You want something different from Robbie? Do ‘I will talk and Hollywood will listen’ live from the royal Albert hall. It’s from 2001 where he done 3 of own his albums and then done a swing cover album, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. Classic concert but the song suggested is his own written. Brilliant
Im not a fan, but I love his knebworth concert. The energy is something else. The crowd is probably the best I’ve ever seen at a live show. At least on this scale
One of the biggest mysterious in music history... How the hel# did US sleep om Robbie Williams? Iam not even a fan But my girlfriend Dragged me to a show (Iam her Second choice after him) in Exchange so She went to see eminem... And that dude owns the stage, magical voice, The looks.... Cant really get it (Iam not from the UK btw)
He is amazing Robbie is but he had to wait all day to do this knowing The Who, Pink Floyd(reunion) and then Paul McCartney was following so he had to especially step it up. Live 8 2005
There might be better singers in the word, there might be better song writers in the world. But there is NO ONE living who entertains a crowd or works a stage like Robbie Williams.
America missed so many years of this great entertainer, ...... and he's still brilliant and loved by many x
Queen allowing Robbie to do We Will Rock you shows you just how awesome Robbie is.
Not just anyone gets to do that.
Ikr. They wanted Robbie to front them on tour before Paul Rodgers from Free did and then Adam Lambert in recent years but obviously he was doing his thing being huge at the time ,that would've been a huge commitment and he said he didn't want to because Freddie is his hero and didn't think anyone ,especially him could live upto that. I can see why they asked him because not only is he a massive fan but has a great voice(which I don't think he gets enough credit for) and is a great entertainer that has a great relationship with the audience ✌️
He truly is a national treasure. We will protect him forever,even long after he's gone, he'll live on and on. And he's gorgeous. ❤
Robbie amazing…years ago he also did a swing/jazz concert at Albert Hall….natural born entertainer however you hear him!❤
No phones, just full appreciation & interaction with the music, god I miss those days. 😔
Robbie is truly talented he was only 16 when he was in take that and as a solo artist has gone on to have an incredible career long may he continue
Love you two! I didn’t realize you had already reacted to one of his Knebworth songs. As awesome as this is, a couple years earlier at Knebworth was when he was truly at his pinnacle.

One of the greatest pure entertainers ever that so many in the U.S. have never really seen or heard. Dude is a legend.
I have watched Robbie at Knebworth probably 50 times. So good!
@@ange7xx907I was there on the last night - by far the best ever concert I’ve ever been to
A Robbie Williams concert is something to be experienced! Energetic and SO. MUCH. FUN! Thanks, guys!💜
To really appreciate Robbie find the video of him live at Knebworth ( the whole concert) 4 consecutive nights over 300,000 fans - he could done 8 nights the demand was so insane
Oh yeah. SO glad you reacted to this fantastic performance. I also love the black and white video that Robbie made of this song. He has QUITE some moves in it :)
Robbie is old school entertainment and it's fukn glorious imo..

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS??? This performance by Robbie was insane! His energy and adrenaline were off the charts. I was rocked and entertained.
OMG Thank you for doing this!!! Robbie Williams has to be one of the most energetic men to hit a stage.

Robbie is just a natural entertainer, he is so charismatic. He is one of my favourites ❤

Just love the way he enjoys homself and smiles all the time. Such a star.
I love Robbie. Saw him in Sydney 2008. Best show ever! He’s back again next year. Oh yeah and he’s not bad lookin’ either 👍❤️🇦🇺
I just love it when he looks out at the crowd and feels the love, that smile makes him look like a little boy.
Watch the Netflix documentary about Robbie Williams and you will find out why he is not big in America.

He is so flipping fun to watch ❤❤❤
I was there, 2005 live 8! I think there was around 125,000 people there. It was amazing!!!
The Hyde Park Live 8 charity gig had some very famous people on before Robbie, but he stole the show with his energy. The last two songs in his set, Feel & Angels had the whole crowd singing in full voice.
He's absolutely perfect... He knows how to do it...
YESSSSSSS - Love that you are reacting to RW and enjoying his music. He has come along way since Do what you like, and can perform diff types of music - pop, rock, swing and he can MC too. Any of his live stuff is a great watch

Super Entertainer! Funny, handsome, humorous, talented. All in one.
He even cried Tears when he greeted his Mother !
Love Robbie!
I remember watching this live. Robbie is one of my favourites.

There’s a song on that album called ‘the flood’ the live version of the flood can be found by searching ‘the flood-progress live’ definitely worth a watch xx
The Flood live was awesome. Also loved the whole concert how they divided it up. Robbie's entrance to his own section was epic.
One of the biggest artists worldwide if not the biggest at his peak
Robbieis great. From hammering out songs to making you cry with songs like ‘MisterBojangles’ and ‘It was a very good year’. He is a superstar
I was front row centre on the barrier for this show. The longest most incredible gig ever. Robbie, Madonna, U2, McCartney. George Michael, Mariah, Snoop, The Who, Pink Floyd, Elton, Coldplay, the Killers, Dido, Annie Lennox… amazing.
I was there that day in hyde park ❤ saw this live he was absolutely unreal!
I saw Robbie in 99 at the V Festival. I was determined to hate him but he totally won me over, the guy has so much charisma its unreal and I don't care who you are, 50,000 people singing Angels transcends a normal gig experience.
This guy has been through a lot in his life his albums from this time bought me out of a deep depression I was in he is the best entertainer of all time
No one, absolutely no one entertains like Robert Peter Williams!
Robbie os an entertainer..always was ❤ I'd love yo gaige him now..he could still release something mad 🎉
Was just going to comment on a previous post of yours ("Crunchy Granola Suite") that Robbie can entertain and work a crowd like Neil Diamond and here he is doing just that.
Just FYI, the female bass player for Robbie, Yolande Charles, is the same bass player that you loved in your post of Paul Weller singing "5th Season"....she's a fine bass player, and you can hear that bass when she plays "No Regrets"
Omg! I love him!!
Brilliant! I was blown away the first time I saw this and it's just as entertaining now! ✌🏻
Him singing "Angels " at Knebworth is awesome x x
Check out Robbie live at Slane Castle (Ireland)........ watch how he controls the crowd, putty in his hands!
Robbie does great Big Band and Swing songs, also well worth a react to
Have seen Robbie live in Stockholm, and I am a Metallica fan, but that was one of the best shows I have ever seen! He is awesome
That was so good!
I loved your reaction...❤
I love him so much! He did Angels in Nebworth he does cry!
A lot of uk fans also started to realize what he had to offer.
Not the only song of Queen's he covered. He also released a version of 'We Are The Champions' for the movie 'A Knights Tale' which is a Heath Ledger film.
He was one of the biggest entertains on the planet not so long ago but didn't really break into the American music scene ( mostly through choice )
His 'No Regrets' & 'Supreme' tracks are amazing!!
His Knebworth concert is awesome!! Just react to any song of It!
And this was the first song!
Robbie got the biggest pop, and legends like the who and Paul McCartney performed among many more. That should tell people something about how good this man was at his peak
British crowds go to be apart of Concerts not just a viewer .They will sing their hearts out .
Now a bit of info you didn’t know is - Brain May and Roger Taylor of Queen actually approached Robbie with the offer to sing with Queen in 2001 - he’d actually recorded a new version of “We Are The Champions” for a film (can’t remember the name of it) but he ended up turning them down.
It's called a Knights tale
I soooo want to see you two react to more Robbie live videos from this era. Come Undone is my fave
Robbie always puts on a great show!
He opens Knebworth with Let Me Entertain You which you should watch as its another level up from even this
Funny that you would mention that you'd think Ewan McGregor would play Robbie in a movie about him as it was just a few days ago I came across a clip of the two of them singing together at a charity event! They both definitely have charisma!
Gotta love Robbie Williams! Listen I am a Thrasher metal-head mostly. Robbie gets me every time! He knows how to ROCK! I mean he may only dabble in hard rock at most (well Karma Killer is pretty fucking Metal), but he has the fire and attitude of Metal!
You should see his live performance of Let Me Entertain You when he comes down in an upside down cross pose hanging from a fucking helicopter to the stage!!!
Mr Bojangles live at Albert Hall is a must.
You guys need to watch the prodigy.. Live at reading festival starting with firestarter.. Brilliant performance and right up your street 👍 👍
fuckin beautiful
You should watch the concert in full that he did in full in knebworth, fantastic
The purpose of this entire concert …. On the 8th July the G8 summit ended and the leaders pledged to increase the aid to Africa from $25 billion to $50 billion by 2010.

Robbie Williams is a good singer, but he is great showman - his best song is angels
Not good fantastic!!!
Loved ur reaction😁
Definitely need to listen to Feel & Angels.. he a great entertainer & song writer 😀
Love this
His ability to hold an audience is amazing - not quite Freddie Mercury but close.
He is equal entertainer to Freddie!
A true missing for America not to have understood what a phenomenal, versatile artist he had before him.
however, if you want to give us your splendid reaction, on the subject of Queen, I propose the Robbie Williams + Queen cover of We are the Champion created for a film
Did you see Angels from this show? Omg! He is so humble. He is so awesome! Sexy! And one of my faves!!
You must react to angels from this concert
Been a fan for many years he is 6’2”
More Robbie reactions....... yours are great! Also some mabey Canadians bands, Tragically Hip come to mind....
Please please watch the full concert of this in knebworth and I'd love to see you're response 😂😂
I want more ROBBIE WILLIAMS!!!!! Please check out "Come undone" live at Knebworth!
This woman is beautiful ❤❤❤😊
You want something different from Robbie? Do ‘I will talk and Hollywood will listen’ live from the royal Albert hall. It’s from 2001 where he done 3 of own his albums and then done a swing cover album, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. Classic concert but the song suggested is his own written. Brilliant
hes a british rock star !!!!
Theres a joke in the uk where we tjank artists for coming to our concerts as we sing along with every song
Im not a fan, but I love his knebworth concert. The energy is something else. The crowd is probably the best I’ve ever seen at a live show. At least on this scale
❤❤❤❤
Watch Robbie when he does gigs with his old band take that the progress shows In my view he steals the shows .he great
One of the biggest mysterious in music history...
How the hel# did US sleep om Robbie Williams?
Iam not even a fan But my girlfriend Dragged me to a show (Iam her Second choice after him) in Exchange so She went to see eminem...
And that dude owns the stage, magical voice, The looks....
Cant really get it (Iam not from the UK btw)
The artful dodger at his best.
Robbie sheds preadance, you should watch the whole concert live at knebworth
He is amazing Robbie is but he had to wait all day to do this knowing The Who, Pink Floyd(reunion) and then Paul McCartney was following so he had to especially step it up. Live 8 2005
Its a shame you folks in the USA missed out on this fella.
Robbie Williams 2nd only to Freddie Mercury as a performer and having the crowd in his hands.
Robbie is equal performer!
Do yourselves a massive favour & check out Robbie & Kylie Minogue's song "Kids." The original video is fire.
Fell here watching other sht lol i really hope it ends with angels.
I wonder if you guys reacted to any Take That music yet 😉
pls react to the full show! you left Feel and Angels from this show! you will SO enjoy enjoy it!!!
Hyde Park always delivers a great show.
Robbie & Tom Jones is a good watch
There might be better singers in the word, there might be better song writers in the world. But there is NO ONE living who entertains a crowd or works a stage like Robbie Williams.
Cannot beat a british crowd
